Appigo's Todo Gets Friendly With Dropbox, Plus Some Handy Synchronization System Tweaks
August 20, 2011
Appigo's task management app, Todo, welcomes the use of Dropbox as a syncing option. As far as improvements go, the company has added some behind-the-scenes synchronizing activities to help with automation and allow you to work more efficiently.
Todo v4.4 for iOS and v1.2 for Mac were actually released a couple of days ago, but users ran into a critical bug that resulted in the company advising customers not to update just yet, or do a current backup before updating to the latest version on their iDevices. In a quick submission and release, Todo v4.4.1 for iOS squashes this devastating bug, which could end up deleting all Todo entry data on your iDevice.
Now that we can, hopefully, safely inform our readers of this update, let's get to those few new features. Foremost, we have Dropbox coming in as the third online sync option. Linking your Dropbox account to Appigo's apps allows you to keep all of your tasks synchronized amongst your iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, and Mac for no additional cost. Such a choice is highly requested and appreciated, but it isn't likely to sway Todo Online users to abandon Appigo's own service, which offers access to tasks and more via a web browser as well as through the apps.
What may be enjoyed more than a new synchronization option are the overall tweaks to the sync system. The biggest change is that syncing now occurs entirely in the background on your iDevice. Initiate a sync and get right back to work. Speaking of unobtrusive, your data is now automatically synced when you leave the app on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. The option is adjustable in the Synchronization section of the Settings area, and is enabled by default.
Todo is designed for iPhone and iPod touch running iOS 3.1 or later, and available in the App Store for $4.99. Todo for iPad is compatible with iOS 3.2 or later, and available in the App Store for $4.99. Todo for Mac is compatible with an Apple computer running Mac OS X 10.6 or later, and available in the Mac App Store for $29.99.
