It WAS helping

There is a lot to like about this app, and some stuff to not like.

The incessant reminders really work for me. I never feel inclined to "cheat" by turning off a notification before the item is completed. That alone is worth the price of admission.

I love the range of notification sounds, and the interface is handsome and clean (thank you, god).

Unfortunately it takes more than intuition to figure out this app. There a lot settings that require a fair amount of trial and error. Some of the terms in the settings are confusing. For example, is a notification the same as a reminder?

I dont like that there isnt a way to be notified ahead of an event, task, etc.

What bothers me the most is that the app doesnt sync my devices well. If I delete a to-do on my iPhone, it doesnt get synced to my iPad until I open the tablet and manually sync it. So even though I mark an item done on the phone, I still get annoying notifications on the iPad. Im using iCloud and Box for syncing purposes.

While I want the screen to remain beautifully minimalist, itd help to have a calendar to look at.

The bottom line is that I like this app, and its helped me be more productive. Hopefully, the deficiencies will be worked out soon.

UPDATE (4/26/16)

I deleted this app from my tablet, and my phone is next. I could no longer take that Due didnt sync on my devices until I manually opened each of them. Also, using the notification screen functions sometimes worked and sometimes didnt. I discovered that I can put as many event notifications as I want into Calendar 5 so that will replace this. The C5 reminder concept is similar to Dues so its easy for me to move on.
