Currently looking for remote work.

I've designed, developed and published all kinds of Android apps (both personal and for clients) but I have a special interest in context-aware apps.

Good point; I'll have a look at the analytics data and see but I have already been contacted by users in the past asking questions and suggesting features I already have because they got mixed up by the other apps they were testing.


> because they got mixed up by the other apps they were testing.

How do you know that is the reason? Could it instead be that users aren't guided well enough to discovering the features your app has?


They told me so :)


The app is fully functional without a purchase.


Hmmm... I just took a look at the app. It is not bad. Contrariwise, there's nothing extraordinary, either.

Looking at the comments, I saw one complaint about the notification alarm, which is always the phone, not the app, and one asking for a note field.

Seems to me there's a note field now, and the app generates a notification at the set time - I'm on lollipop and it sounded just like my other notifications as I expected.

IMHO, the reason is that like myself, people searching for task specific utility applications install handfuls of them to try them out and see what features they offer.

Take that behavior into account and go forth!

I like your app. I may not keep it since I don't actually need one, though. But it's not hurting anything and it can live there until I need space.

Edit: DotNick: It's 9am and my 10am reminder just soudned off....


Any way I can get in touch?


I emailed you


What justifies the purchase?


The free version is ad supported.


Thanks, I'll have a look at usertesting.com


As the developer of a mobile todo app, I would love to know why. Was there something missing?


I think it might be "todo overload". When I get an app, I write down some immediate todos and then get them done. But I also write down future todos and after a while I just get bogged down in the list.

I've been looking for a good time to ask my users for a review. I used to have one of those annoying popups but decided to move it to a point where the user had a positive interaction with the app.

For a couple of months now I've moved it to the 'Thank you' dialog after an in-app upgrade but although I do see less negative reviews, the number of reviews has gone down dramatically. (To a point where I get 1 or 2 reviews a week) It kinda makes sense because I wouldn't want to exit an app I just upgraded (before checking out the pro features) to review the app.

I will probably try out what circa does and see how that works out. Thanks for the link.


I added a 'Feedback' navigation menu entry in one of my Android apps that simply launches the the email client and I did see an increase in feedback from users.

If I think that the suggestion fits it with my vision of the app I add it to the backlog on Trello. When it gets implemented depends on how good I feel the feature is.
