   Hi, I just stum­bled upon this app yes­ter­day. Took the time to watch the video and I’m up and run­ning. I use it on my iPad and iPhone. I noticed on the iPhone the app is not in the Noti­fi­ca­tion Cen­ter. I checked my set­tings and was sur­prised to dis­cover that there is no option to include it in Noti­fi­ca­tions on the iPhone. How would one quickly deter­mine what items are due or past due with­out open­ing the app on the iPhone? Thank you.

     Hi Karen,
     Thanks for reach­ing out! We do local device noti­fi­ca­tions, not push noti­fi­ca­tions (since we don’t have a server component,m unlike Face­book, CNN, etc.) — so Life­Topix does not show up in the Noti­fi­ca­tion Cen­ter. We do cre­ate a local noti­fi­ca­tions for things like tasks, bills, etc. at the due date/time. Also, we put badge on the app icon with the num­ber of over­due items. When you open the app, we list all the over­due items in the Agenda view under Alerts. Also, we cre­ate device cal­en­dar entries with reminders for Life­Topix items (con­fig­urable in Life­Topix Set­tings in the My Set­tings view).
     As you use the app, please send us feed­back or requests for what else you’d like to see in the app.
     Best regards,

       Hi, Again

       I’m con­fused. You men­tioned Life­Topix does not show in Noti­fi­ca­tion Cen­ter. But it does show in Noti­fi­ca­tion Cen­ter on my iPad. It appears in Set­tings > Noti­fi­ca­tions> In Noti­fi­ca­tion Cen­ter. It also appears when I swipe down from the top of the screen. Also, I receive noti­fi­ca­tions alerts or ban­ners (depend­ing on my pref­er­ence). Telling me specif­i­cally what the alert is. This is all on the iPad.

       On the iPhone it does not show in Noti­fi­ca­tion Cen­ter nor is there an option to turn Noti­fi­ca­tion Cen­ter “On”. And because of this I don’t receive any alerts. Just the badge icon number(s).

       As I said, I’m con­fused as to why the iPad can be con­fig­ured with Noti­fi­ca­tions and the iPhone only pro­vides badge icon number(s). Please help.

         Hi Karen,
         So sorry for the con­fu­sion. You are cor­rect — since Life­Topix does cre­ate local noti­fi­ca­tions, it does show up in the noti­fi­ca­tion cen­ter and also when you swipe down on noti­fi­ca­tions, you are able to see the ones from Life­Topix. We’ll inves­ti­gate why it works on the iPad for you, but not on the iPhone. Do you have the same ver­sion of iOS on both?

           Thank you. Yes, each device is run­ning iOS 6.1.3. I’ve unin­stalled Life­Topix on the iPhone, reset the device, and installed Life­Topix again. Still no option for Noti­fi­ca­tion Center.

             Hi Karen,
             Thank you. We are look­ing into it. Can you cre­ate a test task with a due date on the iPhone and see if the local noti­fi­ca­tion is fired?

               Wow!!! You guys ARE good. Yes, enter­ing the task on the iPhone trig­gered local noti­fi­ca­tion. I checked set­tings, and Life­Topix is listed under Noti­fi­ca­tions > In Noti­fi­ca­tion Center.

               I’m ecsta­tic. Thank you very much for tak­ing my con­cern seri­ously and not brush­ing me off. Such a rar­ity today. WooHoo!!!

                 Hi Karen,
                 So glad to hear it! We learned some­thing as well — we too had not real­ized that a noti­fi­ca­tion had to be fired off for the whole sys­tem to get going! You rock. Work­ing with you (and oth­ers like you) is fun, inspir­ing, and very valu­able.

   Hi there, great app. I ?ove it. But few things which has to be done:
   – dif­fer­ent colours of top­ics in agenda and cal­len­dar, for exam­ole dif­fer­ent colours accord­ing to pri­or­ity (in cal­len­dar these is the basic.
   – chan­ing the date/hour of topic by touch­ing and mov­ing a topic “box” in cal­len­dar view(like it is device cal­len­dar)
   – great thing would have a poss­si­bil­ity to trans­fer some how my con­tacts from my nokia phone to the livetopix.

   Any way great app, i have used it from fiew months, i will stay with It a long long time.
   Really help me to orginize my each day when i work against the time.

     Hi Marcin,

     Thank you for reach­ing out to us with your sug­ges­tions and for your kind words.

     We do plan to add sup­port for color cod­ing sev­eral aspects of the app in a future update. We also plan to sup­port the abil­ity to change the date of items in a date list (such as a cal­en­dar) by drag­ging and dropping.

     Life­Topix is able to access your iOS device’s con­tacts so if you are able to trans­fer your con­tacts to your iOS device then Life­Topix can use them.

     Best regards,
     Team LightArrow

   I absolutely love this app, it’s a dream for Some­one with ADHD who wants to stay orga­nized! I love the home page specif­i­cally, the abil­ity to revisit notes and tasks is invalu­able as thoughts come to mind through out my day. I just have a ques­tion and a cou­ple of sug­ges­tions.
   Ques­tion; I can’t fig­ure out why searches do not show upcom­ing events. Is there a way to search events so that I could, say, see when my next den­tal appoint­ment is sched­uled etc.
   Sug­ges­tions;
   1. I’d love to import from Ever­note. It would be great to have full sync so that I can view my Ever­notes in Life­topix.
   2. In the quick add, it would be great if when adding a note if the text added goes into the Body of the note as opposed to the title, I wrote a lengthy note in quick add only to find that I lost most of it when I went to add more details later because the text ended up in a lim­ited title line.

   Keep up the good work guys you have really filled the per­sonal orga­ni­za­tion void many seem to have with iOS devices.

     Hi,

     Thank you for reach­ing out to us with your ques­tion and suggestions.

     The “Agenda” view allows you to view you appoint­ments, reminders and events up to seven days from now.

     If you have an appoint­ment, reminder or event that is beyond the next seven days and you wish to find it you can sim­ply go to “Event” and tap the “Events, Appoint­ments and Reminders” sec­tion to see a date view of all your events, appoint­ments and reminders.

     If you search for an event, reminder or appoint­ment from the search action you will see the results are ordered alpha­bet­i­cally. We will allow addi­tional sort­ing (includ­ing sort­ing by date) in a future update.

     You can sync your online note with Ever­note by sim­ply going to “Notes + Files” –> “All Online Notes” and tap­ping on the Ever­note “Sing In”. Once signed in you can chooses Evet­note notes to sync with Life­Topix. Alter­na­tively, you can open a Life­Topix note and tap on the Ever­note icon located on the right side panel.

     When adding a note through the quick add action the text entered should be included in the body of the note. We have tried to repro­duce this prob­lem but have not been able to. Would you mind giv­ing us some addi­tional infor­ma­tion to help us resolve this issue? What ver­sion of Life­Topix are you using and what exact steps you are tak­ing that results in the quick add text not being included in the note body?

     We appre­ci­ate it very much when are users are as engaged as yourself.

     Best regards,
     Team LightArrow

   New view looks good. Glad that there is a non-tech pre­view way of sync­ing devices as the iCloud options was frus­tring. Use of colour improves the over­all pre­sen­ta­tion. Just wish there was a non-mac way of col­lab­o­rat­ing with the data in life­topic (ANY linux, freebsd or Win­dows would be fine for me).

   And I really, really like the option of hav­ing free­hand drawings.

   Excel­lent job on 6.0 and for send­ing out reg­u­lar updates and improve­ments to Life­Topix. You folks are awe­some! The ini­tial start-up (sync) is very quick (THANK YOU!!). In fact, your app seems “quick” through­out, no mat­ter what I am doing in it. The abil­ity to mod­ify pro­gram themes (and col­ors) is also very cool.

   Though I was really hop­ing for repeat­ing tasks that did “not” require an end date, I will take the new 150 occur­rences. It’s just eas­ier to cre­ate a task (at least for me) with no end date. I typ­i­cally have no use for an end date.

   Lastly, the ALERT sec­tion is very nice and a much needed improve­ment. I never liked look­ing at the agenda view and see­ing over­due items the same color as items still not due. I would have liked to have seen over­due items turn red, imme­di­ately bring­ing the users atten­tion to the fact that some­thing is over­due. So the over­due alert sec­tion is very wel­come. Just one small issue with this. The alert sec­tion only shows items over­due by a date, not by date and a time. In other words, if I did not do some­thing on March 14th, it will not show in the over­due alert sec­tion until the next day, the 15th. But if I did not do a reminder or a task on March 14th at 11am, and it is now March 14th at 2pm, the over­due item does not move to the alert section.….When I look at the agenda view, I may have 3 over­due items (by date and time­stamp) and all 3 would not be in the new alert sec­tion, until the next day. Hope this makes sense.…Again, thanks so much for the reg­u­lar updates and for the 6.0.

     Hi Doug,
     Thank you! We are so happy you like the improve­ments.
     We will keep improv­ing the repeat sched­ule fea­ture. We tend to make the improve­ments in small steps, guided by our users.
     Regard­ing the alerts sec­tion — we do agree with your exam­ple, and we’ll make it con­fig­urable so that users can choose what trig­gers an alert (due today, due in the past by time, due in the past by cur­rent date, etc.). We thank you for your feed­back on it.
     Best regards,

   Bravo, Team Light Arrow, BRAVO!!!!! The updates look great. I love the new func­tions and cus­tomiza­tions! The auto sync is work­ing per­fectly. The notes with the draw­ing enhance­ment is awe­some. ASANA sync­ing gives me access to my projects away from my iPad; Air Access gives me the abil­ity to enter large amounts of info from my iMac; the new themes make me smile!! You guys have done an awe­some job. Time to “roll up my sleeves” and get my data from sev­eral apps under one “roof.” Thanks so much!!!!
