Pros and cons of GoTasks app for iPhone and iPad

GoTasks app good for

Ive tried many apps of this kind, its definitively one of the best, if not the best. It has everything you would expect for a normal and extensive use. It even works great with the iPad. You can set ypur preferences in the setting menu, and there are several. And its free. When yiu havecthe level if functions for a first version, Im sure in the future, there will be more features, such as voice support. Enjoy !
I rated it 4 stars several months ago stating that it was already the best GTasks but that some option were missing. The apps has been updated many time since then... And my comments have been taken into account by the dev. Simply the best app. Just one last point: why is it so difficult to find it on the AppStore...
You just found the one. Wanted Enhancement : - better look and feel (more on the screen) - someway to search for late, now, next and High, médium, low at the same Time (todo focus list)
Thats the easiest app I use every day on my iPhone and iPad to keep track of day-to-day activities I have to do. The user interface is really cool (simple but efficient). Thanks a LOT to the developers ;-)
Why Google wants to limitate the number of caracters in titles AND notes ??? I am using GoTasks as a mind organiser... Notes will have thèse limitations (from a Google mail I received few days ago) : * Task list name: 250 characters * Task name: 1000 characters * Task note: 8000 characters Why ???
For those who uses Google Tasks, there isnt another then GoTasks // Para os que usam o gTasks, nada melhor do que o GoTasks Congrats

Some bad moments

Since the 1.6 update GoTasks will no longer sync with my Google account, even after deleting it and re-signing in. It just gives error 400. This needs fixing soon.
Both this app plus gTasks have a flaw so big in my opinion I dont understand how you can call these "Productivity" apps when the flaw makes the app so weak. So what exactly am I talking about? Alarms/alerts. This is what a proper task manager should do well. Maybe its not a flaw in the app but rather in the way Google controls it. But its a real shame for people who have an iPhone and an iPad not being able to set an alarm/alert on one device and have that alarm sync to your other device. If Im on my iPad and set an alarm for a task, that task will sync with your phone HOWEVER the alarm will not making it rather useless for cross-device task management. It makes it so you can only have an alarm work on the device that created the task. An intuitive design would be you set a task+alarm and it syncs to your other device and warns you on BOTH devices when the alarm goes off. For this single reason I cant use the app anymore. Not when it restricts you so much.
So the app pulls the titles of the emails marked on my task list in Gmail, but doesnt show the email content at all, and when I click go to related email it just brings me to my general inbox instead of the specific email! Arg. Kind of useless, really!
Everytime I open, or try to open this app it crashes!!! First time I used it it gave me enough time to enter all my to do lists for the next week and a half, so I deleted the memo I had in the note pad app. Now when I try to open it to look at my tasks it crashes immediately. Now I have pretty much lost my list of EVERYTHING I need to do for the next week. If I could rate it 0 stars I would.
I like the app but when it works its slow and now it doesnt work at all. It started again but shuts off often. It takes a long time for the app to warm up so you can use it.
No matter what one does to remedy the defect using Google app account settings, it keeps giving the same error message (and useless [out of date?] instructions to fix it).
