Get Your Priorities Straight And Don't Forget The Milk With PriorityList
PriorityList ($0.99) by Mutant Milk is a sleek to do app that brags simplicity and great design. I love the design, but I am still a bit bemused by the directions (or lack thereof).
PriorityList may just be a to do list, but the interface is incredibly beautiful. You can view your tasks all on one page to better get an overview of what needs to be done and when.
Tap the green plus sign in the top right corner to begin entering your tasks. You can then edit multiple options within the task itself.
For example, click the icon to choose from a myriad of other symbols to represent your tasks. From a shopping cart to a heart to a science beaker, there are quite a few options. They remind me somewhat of the icons included in Awesome Note. You can also leave endless notes under each specific task; there really is no limit.
At first glance, this app reminded me of HQ: To Do & Task Lists. I figured it would allow me to set tasks under each to do item and fill up the percentage meter as I completed each individual sub task.
This is not the case with PriorityList at all. I was very confused as to what the percentage meter is actually for. Luckily, the developer is adding instructions in the next update because of the confusion.
The meter on the main screen goes to 100 percent. This represents your task priorities in their entirety. Meaning: each progress bar for each individual task will make up the 100 percent. It's not a percentage of completion, but of priority. After all, we can only give 100 percent, right? And, no, don't say anything to me about giving 110 percent. I may be terrible at math, but I am pretty awesome at "that is not possible."
Along with explaining the priority bar more clearly, there are a few new features already in store (literally submitted to the App Store) for PriorityList (v1.1). The app's appeal is supposed to be beautiful design and simplicity, but it's just a bit too confusing in its first version.
It's only $0.99 in the App Store, but you may want to wait for the update. I always find it promising when the app developer listens to the App Store reviews and pushes an update out to quickly address any issues. So, I am excited about the upcoming new version.
