Taskheat — visual to-do list

I’m giving this app 5 stars for promise and to applaud the developer. It’s not perfect, it’s confusing at times, it can use some UI improvements — and I hope these all will come. Rather than give it 3 stars, I’m rounding up because this app, I hope, has a future. Here’s why: It combines mind mapping with task management (maybe a bit of project management) without the complexity or the baggage of features I’ll never use. To test the app (kudos by the way for a 14-day free test period) I am planning a woodworking project — research gives way to planning and design gives way to building (cutting, assembly, finish). I with this app I see how the tasks under a heading/phase (research or planning), relate, fit together, build on each other toward the next phase or completion. I can see everything visually or as a list. There’s tagging, color coding (would like more colors), notes (would like to see status, which I can assign via tags as a work-around). I can assign due dates, see what’s due today or someday, toggle completed tasks. The app can use some refinement and a few more features but it’s a good, functional start that I hope will continue.

This has completely changed how I think about managing tasks for complex projects with dependencies. You can plan it out nicely using the flow chart view and then when you're ready to start/continue working on it, go to the "Actual" view to only see the tasks you should be currently focussing on. The fact that it works and syncs flawlessly between all my Apple Devices is simply amazing!

I downloaded this app after seeing it on Mac Rumors. I thought this app could help our small team stay organized. So I downloaded the 14 day trial and liked the flowchart view. Then I tried to re-order task, couldn't. I tried to move separate task to different parts of the workspace, couldn't. So I assumed that I needed to buy the full version to be able to do these two functions. So I buy the app and I still can't do these two things. So I'm going to ask for a refund from the Apple app store. I the developers ever as the two capabilities, I will buy a copy for everyone on the team. If the developers are reading this. Please make you app more like Mind Node Pro because that is how I assumed this app would function when I saw the promo video on your website.

The UI seems easy to use and makes it easy to visualize tasks. well done. I have not experienced any stability issues so far. I am really hoping they add new features in the future. Something like if tasks had a time field that I could use for billing Also a little bit larger area for notes with a timestamp button that I could insert the date time into the notes.
