   I would love it if you would inte­grate ziplist into your app as well as some sort of search by busi­ness in the maps part like the google maps app.

     Hi Kerri,
     The ziplist request has come up from other users and we are look­ing at that and sim­i­lar func­tion­al­ity, espe­cially in the shop­ping topic. We do plan to also improve the map search func­tion­al­ity — cur­rently it is very lim­ited.
     We appre­ci­ate your feed­back!

   Yes, look­ing for­ward to the update. Will 7.0 also have the changes we talked about previously.

   Check list as tem­plets
   Tasks as templets

     Greg,

     The tem­plate work (although already in devel­op­ment) is was a lit­tle too involved to be in 7.0, and will be in our 7.1 release next month. We did not want to rush it as it has sig­nif­i­cant impact on other areas, and 7.0 is already mostly baked.

   Another thought con­cern­ing check lists. Check list have no option to notify the user that an item in the check list has not been com­pleted. If you have, as I do, 30 plus prop­erty listed for sale and each has a check list con­nected as items that need to be com­pleted, you have to open up each list to con­firm which items are not com­plete on the list. We need some kind of dead line on the list for all of the items yo be com­pleted and if any of the items are unchecked, the sys­tem noti­fies you that there are items not com­plete by the due date for that set of items on that projects?

     Hi Greg,
     Thanks again! In 7.0 (get­ting ready for sub­mis­sion to APple in a few days) we have added due dates to Check­lists. If the due date/time passes, and there are still open items, it’ll show up in the Over­due items in the Agenda view, and the check­list itself shows up in the My Cal­en­dar and Agenda views under the right date (it’s due date). It also causes a default reminder to pop up at the due time.
     Would that help?

   I really find the check­list use­ful and use it like a sim­ple project man­ager. It’s one of many fea­tures that makes life­topix unique.

   Would it be pos­si­ble to have the abil­ity to add notes, draw­ings, pix, etc to each task in a checklist.

   That way I can go to the check­list and have all the info i accu­mu­late for each step in one place.

   Life topix wothen be an inte­grated per­sonal man­age­ment sys­tem and project man­ager all in one.

   Thank you very much.

   Cheers,
   Anthony

     Hi Anthony,
     Thanks for using Life­Topix and reach­ing out to us!
     We do plan to make check­list items more rich — as in allow other items (tasks, notes, projects, trips, events, shop­ping items, etc.) to be included in a check­list. We plan to do that some­time after our 7.0 update which is being read­ied for an end of May release.
     We love to get such fea­ture requests from savvy users — thank you for the sug­ges­tion!

   Hello. First of and most impor­tantly, thank you for we’ll thought out app. I use it every­day! If I may, I’d like to request a fea­ture. Is there any way that we can get a notice or be alerted in a more sub­tle way if we sched­uled two events at the same time?

   Hi,

   I know you are work­ing on mak­ing the check list into tem­plets, my next thought would be tasks. I have the same tasks over and over on dif­fer­ent projects, it would be great if I could pick from a list of task tem­plets rather then restyle the task each time. Thanks in advance for your help.

   Hi, life­topix,
   I’m using my.agenda only from one day, ands opin­ion is: impres­sive and awe­some !
   But, from my pre­vi­ous expe­ri­ences with cal­en­dars and tasks, I’d like:
   – snooze for every event/task, with five fixed snooze options in set­tings and one free
   – repeat alarm every minute/hour/day, with gen­eral option in set­tings, editable for every event/task
   – float­ing event/task until com­pleted or deleted (float­ing is: event/task not com­plete today is moved to next day, or next occur­rence)
   – sync with Google cal­en­dars
   – in set­tings, let me set my work hours, and see in day view from begin to end, with­out slid­ing down or up

   Best regards

     Hi Anto­nio,

     Thank you for your kind words as well as for your suggestions.

     We are sig­nif­i­cantly enhanc­ing the task and reminder areas in the app with improve­ments along the lines with what you have sug­gested. We plan to have these improve­ments avail­able in a future update.

     Life­Topix inte­grates directly with the device Cal­en­dar app. If you have con­fig­ured your device Cal­en­dar app to use your Google cal­en­dar and have set your Google cal­en­dar as your default cal­en­dar in Life­Topix then items cre­ated in Life­Topix will be synced with your Google calendar.

   I have the iphone app and want to use this on my IPAD as well. Do we actu­ally have to pay again for a copy of the app to use on the ipad? That would be really dis­ap­point­ing. I have a few other paid apps that have ver­sions for the ipad as well and do not charge to use the sec­ond copy.

     Hi Tony,

     Thank you for reach­ing out to us with your question.

     Life­Topix is a uni­ver­sal app, and a sin­gle pur­chase is good for your iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. Just make sure you are signed in as the same iTunes user on the iPad when you down­load it.

    Hi there

    Firstly, thanks for the 6.0 update. Fan­tas­tic improve­ments in usabil­ity and I love the themes — now I can have a com­pletely ‘girly’ Life­Topix!! So help­ful to be able to click through to the actual items from the Peo­ple topic mean­ing that I can eas­ily keep a record of every­thing I have del­e­gated to each per­son in my team. Just won­der­ing if it would be pos­si­ble to have the fol­low­ing:
    1. Able to pick a colour when adding a task or event or appoint­ment etc. So for exam­ple, I add task 1 and make it blue, I then add task 2 and make it green, I then add an event and make it orange and so on. This is so that I can see at a glance in the cal­en­dar view what dif­fer­ent kinds of things I have com­ing up.
    2. Able to add a note, draw­ing or doc­u­ment to a task as well as to events, projects etc. This would mean that I could open a task from my cal­en­dar and have my doc­u­ments to hand imme­di­ately.
    I hope this makes sense. I can­not over­state how good this app is and the thing that makes it really spe­cial is the respon­sive­ness of you guys. I am blown away by how quickly you respond and that you actu­ally put people’s sug­ges­tions into prac­tice. Awe­some! I can’t wait for future updates — thank you so much.
    Kind regards

      Hi Stephanie,
      Thank you so much! We love it when our efforts delight users like you. We like your sug­ges­tions. Regard­ing the first one — yes, we do plan to add more color sup­port for items, top­ics, sta­tuses, data types, etc. Regard­ing the sec­ond sug­ges­tion — yes, you can ad notes cur­rently to “topic items” (projects, trips, events, ser­vices, etc.), but sim­pler text descrip­tions to “data items” such as tasks, appoint­ments, etc. So if the task belonged to a project, and the project had the nec­es­sary doc­u­ments, you could tap on the task in the cal­en­dar, and via the side­bar, go to its asso­ci­ated project to see the doc­u­ments, notes, etc. More to the point of your sug­ges­tion — we do plan to add notes and doc­u­ments directly to data items such as tasks and appoint­ments.

    Re. inbox item: when con­vert­ing them, there are 2 items; the orig­i­nal inbox item and the con­verted item. Would it not make more sense to auto­mat­i­cally get rid of the orig­i­nal inbox item when con­vert­ing it?

    Here’s a fea­ture I really need. I cre­ated a Mas­ter List of EVERYTHING I need to do, from health, shop­ping, per­sonal etc.
    From this list I can then move those items to the list they belong in.
    So as I think of some­thing I need to do in life I add it to my Mas­ter List. Of course some­times I may add the same to do sev­eral times.
    The only way I can find the dupli­cate item/s is if I care­fully scroll/look at the whole list.
    Could you please add an alpha­bet­ized fea­ture? You already have the reorder list fea­ture.
    Alpha­bet­ized allows me to see dupli­cate entries quickly.
    For exam­ple if I needed to “add oil to my car” I would most likely enter that to do with the same word­ing as I did the first time. ( if I hap­pened to for­get I already entered it before) an alpha­bet­ize fea­ture would allow me to see the dupli­cate entries.
    Thanks for listening!

    I meant the following:

    If you gives Us a choice of 9 Col­ors for exam­ple„ allow us the user to decide if and when we need to use a color.
    In other words I may want to use every­thing in red are finances, every­thing in green is out­door healthy activ­ity.
    Another user may want to assign dif­fer­ent col­ors for those same items.
    I’m assum­ing you will give the users the choice of when, where, and what col­ors to use and not have a per­ma­nent color for things.
    Wouldn’t want to be stuck with ONLY ONE color for any giv­ing activ­ity.

    IMPORTANT PLEASE — HELP

    I like your App, but at this time I am only using it for some quick to do lists.
    I’ve asked for this a month or so back but it hasn’t been Done yet?
    PLEASE cre­ate some Updated Videos on using each of your fea­tures in your App.
    VERY much needed to be able to watch a tuto­r­ial.
    Your app does Sooooooo many things that it just becomes over­whelm­ing to start and use.
    For awhile I was just using it a lit­tle and still using a pad and paper for all my daily needs.
    I would like to com­pletely elim­i­nate the paper and use your app.
    And ALSO when you cre­ate new train­ing videos could you please give every day real world exam­ples?
    I really don’t think a lot of us have the time, or money to go on a cruise or vaca­tion as one of your videos teach.
    Think the fol­low­ing videos:
    How to do a daily to do — who to Call, write, visit today
    Shop­ping list video that show me how to set up a list for the SAME 5 stores I always shop at AND how to set up prox­im­ity alerts when I’m near the store
    Video on how to enter all the Birth­days, anniver­saries, deaths, etc com­ing up on the dates on the cal­en­dar and how to be alerted that morn­ing of those impor­tant dates
    Video on to enter events like water the orange tree, add air to the tires on the car, hair­cut, etc with how to set alerts for these events with sounds.

    In other words PLEASE cre­ate the Basic train­ing Videos for us in a core Video group to be Able to use Life Topix fully.
    Once we can use the basic fea­tures quickly we will ALL be able to go to the big­ger uses.
    The need for tak­ing care of our daily stuff we all need to keep track of in life is huge. Hav­ing videos to help us do all this stuff is needed please.
    THANKS in advance.

    Wanted to print a to do list I just put in order of how I want to do each item today, but when I select Print it shows the list in the order I ENTERED the items, NOT in the order I just arranged them for today???
    The only way I could print it with the cor­rect order was to export it to an email and then print the email.
    This is wasted step.
    Why can’t I just open a list, reorder the items and then print that new order with the check boxes?

    Hello.
    First of all, I’m really enjoy­ing using (or at least try­ing to put my things ordered here) this app. I can see how many thing I can put and con­trol using it =)

    I have some ques­tions about sce­nar­ios that I want to con­trol in Life­Topix and I don’t know the best way to input it on the app.

    I’ll put one for now:
    I have a goal to achieve on 2013, it is to read a dif­fer­ent book each month. How could I put it in a nice way for me to be able to con­trol it and to know the book that I need to read right now?

    For exam­ple, in Jan­u­ary I read The Hob­bit, in Feb­ru­ary I read Metro 2033 and now (March) I’m read­ing Princess of Mars (John Carter series). I cre­ate a project and a task for each book? The due date would be the last day of each month?

    If it’s this way I would like to know if it is pos­si­ble to remove the noti­fi­ca­tion for com­pleted tasks. Exam­ple: I Cre­ate a task to read a book with a due date of March, 31st, 2013 at 11:59PM, even if I have com­pleted the task early in this month, at the due date I’ll receive a noti­fi­ca­tion, in this scope I wouldn’t like to receive this noti­fi­ca­tion. Is is pos­si­ble to con­fig­ure each task (or all the tasks) to ignore noti­fi­ca­tions when completed/cancelled?

    Thanks for the amaz­ing job that LightAr­row team is doing and has done on this app.

      Hi Rafael,

      The way you have con­fig­ured Life­Topix to track your book read­ing is the way we would rec­om­mend if you want to be alerted if you have not read your book by the due date. If you do not care to be alerted then you could have used a Check­list, with each book as a list item, and sim­ply check off each book when you have com­pleted read­ing it.

      We have included a fix for tasks to remove the local task noti­fi­ca­tion (alert) if the task sta­tus is set to either com­pleted or can­celled. This fix will be included in our 6.0 update (avail­able in a few days). We will include a fix to also remove alerts from device cal­en­dar events, cre­ated through Life­Topix as a result of a task cre­ation, in a future update.

        Thanks a lot for the help!

        I’m amazed by the speed that I get the answers from you. I’m a lit­tle con­fused with the appli­ca­tion in this begin­ning, but I’m read­ing the tuto­ri­als on your Blog and watch­ing the videos on Youtube to try to under­stand bet­ter how to use Life­Topix cor­rectly (or the best way).

        2 more ques­tions:
        1 — Is it pos­si­ble to make a Reminder do rep­e­ti­tions like a task?
        2 — I saw that we have a lim­ited amount of rep­e­ti­tions (72) to avoid the appli­ca­tion to get slow (because when we do a rep­e­ti­tion task Life­Topix gen­er­ates all the rep­e­ti­tions at once). Lets think on a sce­nario that I want a reminder every Thurs­day at 06:00PM to Defrag my PC. This reminder won’t have a start or end date, I’ll do this every week from now on. It’s bet­ter in this case to use the iPhone’s reminder isn’t It? As it won’t make Life­Topix slower, because I think it gen­er­ates the reminders ‘on demand’ and not all the reminders at once. In all other sit­u­a­tions is bet­ter to use Life­Topix, because It’ll show in your cal­en­dar all the gen­er­ated reminders, avoid­ing you to make an appoint­ment on a occu­pied future date.

        Thanks a lot.

          Hi Rafael,

          Thanks again for reach­ing out to us.

          We plan to sup­port repeat sched­ules for reminders as well as sup­port repeat sets (where you can con­fig­ure reminders to alert you more than once) in a future update.

          For the sce­nario you described you are cor­rect in assert­ing that using the iOS device reminder is a bet­ter choice. In your case the pri­mary action is to be reminded to do some­thing and not to look up a reminder in a cal­en­dar to see if that time slot is used. If you have the Life­Topix cal­en­dar set­tings con­fig­ured to include device reminders then they will show up in LifeTopix.

          With Life­Topix 6.0 (avail­able in a few days) we have increased the max­i­mum num­ber of occur­rences in a repeat sched­ule to 150.

    Hello, I think I’ve found a “bug” on the app.
    When I try to cre­ate a Device Reminder, when I put the option to remind me on a Date/Time it only put a due date on the reminder’s app. This doesn’t make the alert goes on the time I selected. I have to open the iOS native reminder, go on the item I’ve added and switch the remind option to On.

    I’m on a iPhone 4s using iOS 6.1.2.

    Thanks a lot.

    Hi, I’ve just acquired this amaz­ing app and I would like to know if is it pos­si­ble to change the alert sound of the app to a dif­fer­ent one, every third party app that I have uses the tri-tone. Do you have an option to choose a dif­fer­ent tone or do you have the inten­tion to imple­ment it on the future?

    Thanks a lot!

        Thanks in advance. I think the alert sound is a very impor­tant improve­ment for Life­Topix. I’ll be able to know if my alert is some­thing impor­tant (some event/reminder from life­topix) or some game or other less impor­tant app alert with­out hav­ing to remove the phone from my pocket.

        I like the iPhone’s orig­i­nal reminder alert because it’s louder than the other sounds, mak­ing it easy to lis­ten to when you’re away from the phone.

        Thanks a lot.

      We cur­rently sup­port repeat sched­ules for tasks, appoint­ments and bills. We’ll sup­port it with events in the future as well. Also, we’ll enhance the repeat sched­ule func­tion­al­ity itself to han­dle the kind of sched­ule described here. We expect to do this in the 6.1 update in late March.

    Thanks for the recent changes and in par­tic­u­lar now show­ing all the events, tasks etc. asso­ci­ated with a par­tic­u­lar per­son. Would it be pos­si­ble to have a link to the actual task or event etc. so that I could eas­ily see the date/attached notes etc. ? This would be really help­ful in man­ag­ing the tasks that I have del­e­gated to peo­ple in my team. Alter­na­tively, a new activ­ity type “Del­e­gated Task” would be fab­u­lous.
    Also a colour cod­ing on the cal­en­dar for dif­fer­ent types of activ­ity — for exam­ple — blue for tasks, orange for appoint­ments, pur­ple for events and so on. This would allow me to see at a glance what is com­ing up dur­ing the day/week/month.
    Still the best all round app on the mar­ket for me and get­ting bet­ter all the time. Thanks for all your hard work.
    Kind regards

      Hi Stephanie,
      Users like you delight us with praise and awe­some fea­ture requests! Thank you.
      Yes, we’ll add the abil­ity to tap and open the items from the per­son detail view in a future release. Also, when you say del­e­gated task, do you mean a view where you see all tasks which have own­ers assigned as other than you, or do you mean some­thing else?
      In 6.0 (get­ting ready for release in 10 days or so) has sev­eral improve­ments (amaz­ing free-hand writing/drawing, Drop­box sync), and for the first time we’ve intro­duced a lit­tle color into the My Top­ics view, with the sole goal of being able to dis­tin­guish and find top­ics eas­ily. We plan to pro­ceed on that path and give dif­fer­ent col­ors to topic items as well as data items in the future, so that they are eas­ily dis­tin­guish­able in “mixed bag” views such as My Cal­en­dar, Agenda, etc. Stay tuned!

    I bought this app back when it was $3.99 because I thought it’d be well worth it. It is, how­ever, I don’t even use it. It cov­ers so many cat­e­gories which is excel­lent, because it makes the need for any other app or plan­ner obso­lete! But because it is such an intri­cate essen­tial, I feel a very strong need for an online login as well!!! This would make it so much more func­tional and prac­ti­cal, because data entry can be tedious when it’s being done on a lit­tle screen in the palm of my hand. I’d assume the major­ity of your users are busi­ness men and women who like to stay orga­nized. These users are almost all guar­an­teed to do a lot of their work behind a com­puter screen sit­ting at a desk. It would be so very inno­v­a­tive and con­ve­nient to make this app use­ful on a com­puter plat­form as well. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make this app acces­si­ble online! Until then, it will sit on my screen cry­ing over it’s lost potential.

      Thanks for reach­ing out! We agree with you that it’s a lot eas­ier to enter infor­ma­tion from a com­puter instead of the small screen, espe­cially on the iPhone. We do have a free app on the Mac called Life­Topix AirAc­cess — it con­nects to Life­Topix on your device, and then allows you to see the data, add data and edit data. It is by no means a com­plete solu­tion, but makes it a lot eas­ier to enter data into Life­Topix. We plan to sup­port it on the Win­dows PC as well, and enhance it over the next few updates. We are also look­ing at the option of hav­ing an online ver­sion, but have no con­crete plans on it yet.

    Dear Life­topix,

    Let me first say that what you’ve done here is rev­o­lu­tion­ary. I can’t believe I haven’t heard of this app before: some­thing that holds every­thing! Amazing!

    How­ever, I take a lot of notes on the iPad, but I found your note sys­tem dif­fi­cult to use. There’s no undo but­ton, mak­ing it more frus­trat­ing when I make a mis­take. Sec­ondly, there’s no way to zoom in on the page and write. This is very impor­tant to me because I like notes that look good, but I can only write in elephant-sized let­ters with my fin­gers. Even with a sty­lus it’s dif­fi­cult to write small. Other note apps have a fea­ture where you can zoom and write big and then zoom out– I find that very use­ful. Thirdly, what hap­pens when I use the whole page? I guess I thought it would be more of a note­book, not a sin­gle page.

    Thank you for your attention!

      Hi Lane,
      Thanks SO MUCH for reach­ing out to us! We have some good news. In our 6.0 update (planned for com­ple­tion by the end of this month) we have made the draw­ing / free­hand note-taking MUCH BETTER. It’s smoother and more respon­sive, sup­ports more col­ors, and sup­ports basic shapes. And we have added undo/redo as well. We are going to look at a way to add “next page” sup­port and zoom sup­port in 6.0 — we’ll do our best, and if we can’t get that in 6.0, it’ll be soon there­after.

    Like the app, you should con­sider adding the func­tion­al­ity of the app, “home library” into your prod­uct. To enter books, video’s etc, it scans the bar­code and auto­mat­i­cally pro­vides all the infor­ma­tion about the book or video into your database.

    It is much bet­ter than your man­ual way of inputting.

        Hi Jeff,

        You can cre­ate assets in Life­Topix to track these types of items.

        Let’s take the blu-rays as an exam­ple.
        Out of the box there is a cat­e­gory called “DVD/Blu-Ray Discs” which is under the “Home The­ater” cat­e­gory. You can use these cat­e­gories or cre­ate your own. Assum­ing you will be using the out of the box cat­e­gories you can do the fol­low­ing to track your blu-rays.

        Sim­ply tap the “Home + Assets” topic and then tap the “+” but­ton at the top right of the screen to add a new asset.
        Use the title of the Blu-ray as the title of the asset and set the cat­e­gory of the asset to “Home The­ater -> DVD/Blu-Ray Discs”. Tap the save but­ton at the top right of the screen and you are done. Now you can track that blu-ray in Life­Topix. The same can be done for the other types you men­tions as well.

        It would be a good idea to use the “Home The­ater -> DVD/Blu-Ray Discs” cat­e­gory because the “Media” topic has a touch point to “Home The­ater Assets”.

    Thanks for the lat­est release. This con­tains some great new fea­tures mak­ing Life­topix even more use­ful. Just a cou­ple of ques­tions:
    – When I select the peo­ple topic, it still only shows 2 items attached to each per­son. I use this for del­e­gat­ing tasks to my team as own­ers and it would be really help­ful if I could see every­thing owned by or asso­ci­ated with a par­tic­u­lar per­son. Is this some­thing you intend to include?
    – The new draw­ing facil­ity in notes is great for adding dia­grams dur­ing meet­ings etc. is it pos­si­ble to make it avail­able in land­scape ori­en­ta­tion as well?
    – Could you add a colour cod­ing facil­ity to tasks so that I could have say yel­low for reg­u­lar tasks, blue for ad hoc, red for urgent etc. etc. show­ing in the cal­en­dar view? Or is there already a way of doing this?
    Thanks again for the update– fan­tas­tic job and I can’t over­state how use­ful this appli­ca­tion is.

      Hi Chris,

      Thank you for reach­ing out to us with your question.

      Life­Topix allows you to fil­ter your task list based on whether it is Active, Undated, or Over­due. These fil­ters are avail­able whether the task has an asso­ci­a­tion or not. Addi­tion­ally, you can see all the tasks in a given con­text by going to the con­text tags view and tap­ping on the context.

      We do plan to add addi­tional fil­ters such as the one you men­tioned (e.g. by cat­e­gory) in the near future. We also plan to sup­port view­ing tasks by cat­e­gory in the tasks + projects view.

      If you open the detail view of a shop­ping list (tap on green tri­an­gle to the right of the name of the shop­ping list in the Shop­ping Lists view of Shop­ping topic), you can see the side panel on the right. On the iPhone, you can bring in the side panel by tap­ping on the left green arrow but­ton. In there, if you tap on the Email icon under Dis­cuss, you can share it with some­one. If they have Life­Topix, they can tap on the data in the email, open in Life­Topix, and voila — they have the same list. They can make changes and send back to you — you can go back and forth. We do that also for Notes, Tasks, Projects, Events, Check­lists, etc.

      Hi Keith,

      We do inte­grate with the device Reminders app. It’s items are auto­mat­i­cally show in the Home > What’s Next view, My Cal­en­dar view and the Events topic view. We let you open them, edit/delete them, and also cre­ate new ones from the Events topic. In 5.2 (being read­ied for next week) we’ll allow you to add device Reminders app entries directly from the main views from Quick Add.
      We appre­ci­ate the point you make about the arrows direc­tion — we’ve pointed them towards which direc­tion the view will move. What you say is valid — it could point the other way to mean there is stuff on the left (to go back to). We’ll take this under con­sid­er­a­tion with some usabil­ity folks.

        With respect to Life­Topix 5.1.1, please be advised that syn­chro­niza­tion with iCloud tasks on the Reminders app does NOT work with an iPhone 4 run­ning iOS 5.0.1 (9A405). Enabling iCloud syn­chro­niza­tion within Life­Topix causes tasks cre­ated within that app to appear on the iCloud events cal­en­dar, rather than the default iCloud tasks cal­en­dar. Items already on the default iCloud tasks cal­en­dar are not dis­played any­where within Life­Topix. Essen­tially, what Life­Topix does is use an event as a task — i.e., by plac­ing the term “[Life­Topix]” at the end of an event title. This is very awk­ward indeed because other pro­grams access­ing the events cal­en­dar will dis­play the term “[Life­Topix]” as part of every event title. Please take a look at your com­peti­tors to have a bet­ter under­stand­ing of how seam­less task syn­chro­niza­tion should occur — I already have three (3) third-party iPhone apps that have the abil­ity to access the iCloud default task cal­en­dar and there is no need to imbed “[Life­Topix]” into the title of an event. Events and tasks should be kept sep­a­rately, on dif­fer­ent cal­en­dars, with­out imbed­ding terms into the titles. I real­ize that this may be a mon­u­men­tal project for your com­pany, how­ever, it could pay off in the long run because your app has real potential.

          Thanks for bring­ing this to our atten­tion. We’ll ver­ify with iPhone 4 and iOS 5.0.1 to see why the inte­gra­tion with the Reminders app items is not the way we expect it to work.
          We’ll also take your com­ment regard­ing the “[Life­Topix]” term in the event title that we cre­ate on the cal­en­dar into con­sid­er­a­tion and come up with a user-configurable cleaner approach.

      Hi Kevin,
      We are mak­ing some fixes to resolve an iCloud issue that is affect­ing some users. We plan to sub­mit it to Apple next week. We truly apol­o­gize for the incon­ve­nience in the mean­time — it seems to have flared up for a few users just in the last 3–4 days.
      The reset process is help­ing some folks: http://lightarrow.com/lifetopix/common-questions/q-how-to-correct-icloud-sync-not-working-properly but we are work­ing hard to get it more solid in the update next week.

    I wanted to use Life Topix to save my Christ­mas List and use the Gifts for Oth­ers along with Gifts Received. As I planned my Gift List, I was giv­ing var­i­ous Gift Cards in either var­i­ous denom­i­na­tions and we give cash amounts to our chil­dren. So under the Prod­uct Cat­e­gory Money, I con­fig­ured Gift Card For $50 and Gift Card For $75 and con­fig­ured the var­i­ous sell­ers whom I would use for these cards. I have a gift card to both my sons and my dad for $75 dol­lars. The prob­lem, under prod­uct, I can only use the Gift Card $75 once, for any one of the three. Once I select the Gift Card For $75 for one of the other two, the prod­uct slot on the first indi­vid­ual becomes blank. This hap­pens for any prod­uct, for exam­ple, I received tee shirts from my wife, par­ents and son’s girl friend. I can only record the prod­uct Tee Shirt once, from any one of them, as soon as I try to reuse Tee Shirt, Life Topix removes the Tee Shirt prod­uct from the pre­vi­ous entry. I received Sev­eral Books, so I planned on using the Prod­uct Book and record­ing the titles in the descrip­tion but again, I can only use Book once, any sub­se­quent use of Book removes it from the pre­vi­ous entry, leav­ing the prod­uct blank.

    Does this mean that I have to enter each Book given to some­one mul­ti­ple times if I were giv­ing every­one on my list a copy of our per­sonal recipes? (My wife cre­ate a book of our favorite recipes which we update each year and give copies to all our friends, to enter the book twenty times because I’m giv­ing copies to each friend, seems to not be a good idea. I’d much pre­fer to enter Book as a prod­uct and then use the descrip­tion for the title, If I cre­ate a prod­uct “Per­sonal Recipes 2012″, it behaves the same way, I can give it once to some­one, but the next time I select this prod­uct, it removes it from the prod­uct for the pre­vi­ous recip­i­ent, yuck.

    Any solu­tions, am I doing some­thing wrong?

    I recently pur­chased Life­Topix and have the fol­low­ing activ­ity that I’d like to cap­ture. I am a Rail­fan and often visit var­i­ous loca­tions to pho­to­graph trains. I have had no issues record­ing the places as a Pllace within Life­Topix, how­ever, record­ing the activ­ity is prob­lem­atic. I can record the two or three hour activ­ity as a trip, and then I’m able to asso­ciate the Place with that trip and I then have a record of the activ­ity and the places. A more nat­ural place would be to record this as an activ­ity, how­ever, as an activ­ity, I have no way that I’ve found to asso­ciate the Place with the par­tic­u­lar activ­ity event. I’d also like to be able to add a note and I’m sure it would be nice to add a pho­to­graph. Right now, I’m using the Trip func­tion­al­ity to record the places and I add an Activ­ity so I can have a nice sum­mary of my Rail­fan activ­i­ties, but this cre­ates dual entries on my Cal­en­dar for that day. The good news, most of my entry takes place a day or so after the activ­ity, so these entries on my cal­en­dar are typ­i­cally in the past. Am I miss­ing some­thing in the func­tion­al­ity that would allow me to cap­ture this type of event more nat­u­rally. Ide­ally, I’d love to be able to just add Places, Notes, Photo and prob­a­bly a few other items as part of an activity.

    Thanks

      Dear Dave,
      Thanks for reach­ing out. While we allow pho­tos, notes etc do be logged at a log item level, we do not sup­port those for each indi­vid­ual log entry for that log item. We only allows a com­ment to be asso­ci­ated with the log entry. Your approach of using trips for these activ­i­ties is bet­ter suited for your needs. If you go to Life­Topix Set­tings (gear icon acces­si­ble via quick menu on the bot­tom left) — you can go to My Set­tings, and then Device Cal­en­dar Reminders, select No Cal­en­dar Entry for Trips?Visits. That way, there won’t be an entry in the device cal­en­dar.
      We do plan to evolve activ­ity log­ging with richer sup­port for addi­tional data such as pho­tos for indi­vid­ual log entries int he future.

      Hi Doug,
      You can do it from the right side­bar in the task detail — always open on the iPad, and opened by left green arrow on iPhone. Under the Dis­cuss sec­tion, you’ll see an Email icon which allows you to email the task to some­one. If they too have Life­Topix, they can accept that task into their instance of Life­Topix. You can then col­lab­o­rate (send changes to each other), just like you can with projects, notes, trips, vis­its, events, shop­ping lists, etc.

The way to get around that is to pinch and resize the Sign in view, and then the fields become respon­sive to touch and you can sign in. We are inves­ti­gat­ing this on our end, as well as reach­ing out to Ever­note to see what exactly the issue is.

      1. One way we could imple­ment that in the near future is extend the Peo­ple + Ser­vices topic to add easy access to device con­tacts, and then allow that view to be added to the Hot List for easy access.
      2. Mak­ing the Near Me view map view more inter­ac­tive the way you’ve pro­posed would be very use­ful. We’ll inves­ti­gate to see what the Map API allows us to do.
      3. The email fea­ture (see­ing and con­vert­ing into Life­Topix items) is imple­mented in devel­op­ment in a fea­ture called Email Inbox. We are await­ing export clear­ance for the secu­rity tech­nol­ogy we’ve uti­lized for it. Hope­fully we can release it before the end of the year to our users.

      Hi Rachael,
      Yes, there’s a way to do this. If you open the detail view of the spe­cific seller, you can add Places as a cat­e­gory for it. Steps:
      1. Go to the Shop­ping topic and then to Con­fig­ure Seller
      2. Tap on the spe­cific seller (let’s say “Costco”) that you want to also mark as a Place
      3. In the Search field on the top, start typ­ing Places. When you see Places, tap on it to select, and then tap Save.
      Now Costco should show in both Places in Travel, as well as a Seller.

      There is not a sin­gle view that shows all the touch­points — that’s a really good idea and would be very use­ful. Cur­rently, we show them in each high-level topic view (for exam­ple, in Travel, the cell for Places has the sum­mary “Touch­point to Peo­ple + Ser­vices: (Ser­vice Providers) > (Travel + Place) > Places”).

      We hope this helps!

      For now, you can copy the con­tents of an email from the Mail app, paste it into the body of a new note in Life­Topix, and attach the note to any object that sup­ports asso­ci­ated notes: projects, events, trips, vis­its, prod­ucts, assets, ser­vices, ser­vice providers, sub­jects, etc.

    Just down­loaded Life­topics and so far I’m impressed. Great job on the update. I had passed it up before because I was a lit­tle put off by the look and feel, but this ver­sion seems pol­ished and pro­fes­sional. I cur­rently use an app called “Pro­ject­book” which I really like, but I would love to have one app to rule them all. I’m a designer who loves to stay orga­nized, so really like the way Pro­ject­book allows me to cre­ate tasks and notes and sketch my designs all at the same time. If Life­topics had this abil­ity then I think it would be approach­ing per­fec­tion. Note tak­ing and basic sketch­ing is a big part of what I do. Please con­sider adding this.

We’ll update our roadmap once we iden­tify the spe­cific release in which we’ll add that fea­ture to notes in Life­Topix.

        Thanks for the reply. I very much appre­ci­ate link­ing tasks and notes and other ele­ments together, which is why I’m stick­ing with Life­topix notes at work. But I’m con­stantly tempted to switch over to my other note tak­ing apps for meet­ings. I’m writ­ing notes, adding mile­stone dates to my sched­ule, and cre­at­ing tasks. It’s great that I can do all this within Life­topix, I’m still switch­ing between Life­topix apps. I’m not sure how this trans­lates into Life­topix, but in Pro­ject­book you can tap on a note and con­vert it to a task. This, in addi­tion to the out­lin­ing fea­tures makes it extra­or­di­nar­ily use­ful for me.

        I have to apol­o­gize for pre­sent­ing the request in this way, but essen­tially I would love it if I opened up a note in Life­topix, it worked like Pro­ject­book. If this is the type of thing that not a lot of users need then per­haps it could be an add-on

        Any­way, thanks again for a great product!

    I’m cross­ing my fin­gers and hop­ing very hard that this upcom­ing ver­sion will finally elim­i­nate my need to use a paper hand writ­ten list each day.
    I’m using Life Topix to list every sin­gle thing I need to do in my life, but each day I find it eas­ier to look at life topix and write down on a piece of paper the things I need to do “Today” in order of how I want to do them.
    Its also get­ting very tedious at the end of the day to move things not done in Life topix to the next day.
    I’m pray­ing that this new ver­sion just auto­mat­i­cally car­ries over any items left undone to the next day of the week.
    It would save me a ton of time.

        Today you can already call your check­lists what­ever you want and have as many check­lists as you want. You can also choose to show them in the Hot List for easy access. The fea­ture we are adding in 5.1 on top of that, is you choose to show the ones you want in the “To do lists” sec­tion of the What’s Next view. That way, for exam­ple, my daily lists such as “Morn­ing rou­tine”, “Med­ica­tion” etc. are avail­able eas­ily in the Home view. In 5.1 we have also added a Clear but­ton to check­lists to clear all items, which is help­ful for check­lists meant to be reused daily by clear­ing them at the start of the day.

    I have spent approx­i­mately $61658546 dol­lars and count­less hours try­ing to find the per­fect to-do list app. I absolutely love this one. How­ever, I have one HUGGEEEE qualm with it. Very often (like every day) I find myself with a bunch of sched­uled meet­ings and then a list of tasks. Because I have just a ridicu­lous amount of things that seem to just come up “out of the blue” I find its almost coun­ter­pro­duc­tive to waste my time try­ing to plan out when exactly dur­ing my day I’m going to com­plete each task. Then I end up with all these over­due alerts and clut­tered cal­en­dar that doesn’t really help me out­line my day at all. I would really like to be able to cre­ate a task with a due date, and not have to set time aside in my cal­en­dar or have it even show up in my cal­en­dar for that mat­ter. What I would LOVE LOVE LOVE is to be able to see all my tasks due for that day on the left­hand side and then all my appoint­ments in the day plan­ner in the day view sec­tion of “My Cal­en­dar.” Addi­tion­ally, it would be awe­some not have reminders auto­mat­i­cally set for any­thing that has a due date. I’d really like to be able to choose which items cre­ate reminders and time blocks on the cal­en­dar on a case-by-case basis. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE save my life and add these features!!!

      Hi Nicole,
      Thanks for the kind words and the great sug­ges­tions! We have some good news. We are adding inte­gra­tion with the device Reminders app in 5.1, which would help sig­nif­i­cantly on this issue. In either 5.1 or 5.2, we are adding a sim­ple To Do list to show up in the Home view in What’s Next which allows to add to do items (with­out dates/times, and they show up every day until cleared).
      Today in Life­Topix Set­tings we allow the abil­ity to only cre­ate device cal­en­dar entries/reminders by type. In the future we plan to sup­port it by indi­vid­ual item level. We’ll do our best to incor­po­rate your other view­ing sug­ges­tions in the future as well.

      Hi Joanna,
      We appre­ci­ate your com­ment. Actu­ally the store, price, quan­tity, etc. are all optional. In a shop­ping list, if you just tap on the light­ning add but­ton (light­ning icon and a plus icon together), you can just sim­ply add items to your shop­ping list using a very effi­cient search and add mech­a­nism. And if you wish, you can tap on each item later to add other things like store or cat­e­gory, so the list is grouped for you by store or by prod­uct cat­e­gory.
      We’ve tried to make Life­Topix as sim­ple or as pow­er­ful as you want it to be, but we do under­stand that it is not as sim­ple as a sim­plis­tic list app. But it is so much more!
      We’ll con­tinue to do our best to make it sim­pler to use with each update with­out giv­ing up on its power and flex­i­bil­ity.

    I just started using this app and the first thing that has struck me is that I keep los­ing entries because I don’t hit save before going back a tab. This is espe­cially evi­dent when adding cat­e­gories to projects. IMO, the more intu­itive work­flow is for the entry to be autosaved when you go to a pre­vi­ous screen. Then it acts more like a phys­i­cal object, it remains as you left it until you change it. It is easy enough to delete an entry the way entries are deleted in other iPad apps, but when I enter a thought­ful and detailed descrip­tion for my new cat­e­gory, it’s a very neg­a­tive expe­ri­ence to fat fin­ger erase it.

    To sum­ma­rize, please make the default func­tion­al­ity to save my work and not dis­card it. It is way eas­ier for me to delete entries than to recre­ate them.

      Hi Mark,
      We agree with your sug­ges­tions. A cou­ple of things we plan to do: 1. throw an alert if there are unsaved changes before back­ing out from a view, and 2. Do more auto saves — we already do that for Descrip­tion and also things like adding tasks, notes, pho­tos etc. to detail views of items like projects and trips. We’ll keep improv­ing on that so it becomes more phys­i­cally intu­itive like you’ve men­tioned.

      That is our fault. We had missed a cal­en­dar related change needed by iOS 6. We have already sub­mit­ted an update (5.0.4) to Apple for expe­dited approval, which resolves the issue and brings the device cal­en­dars back into Life­Topix. We expect it to be avail­able to users in the next cou­ple of days. Although Apple must be flooded with iOS 6 related updates for apps right now, then have been very good at speed­ing up approvals.

    I use your check­lists to cre­ate a to do list. I cre­ate a gen­eral to-do list over the course of a day. This is faster than call­ing up each project to-do list indi­vid­u­ally. Later when i have more time for plan­ning i then dis­trib­ute this gen­eral list to other check­lists asso­ci­ated with spe­cific projects.

    But there is no way to export from one check­list and move it to another. I have to cut and paste item by item. Is there a way to eas­ily migrate items from one list to another?

      Hi Chris,
      Thanks for the ques­tion. We are adding the abil­ity to copy a check­list to an update in the future. There is a way you can accom­plish what you need for now. If you tap on the blue (>) icon (dis­clo­sure icon) to the right of the name of the check­list in the All Check­lists view, its detail view opens up. On the side panel on the right in the detail view, under Dis­cuss, you’ll see an email icon. If you tap on that you can email the list to your­self (even though this fea­ture is actu­ally intended for shar­ing and col­lab­o­rat­ing with oth­ers). Once you get the email in your device email app, please open it, and tap and hold on the shared XML file attach­ment in the email and select “Open in Life­Topix”. Life­Topix will come up, and will ask you to either cre­ate a new check­list or update the exist­ing one. Please choose “Cre­ate As New” and a check­list will be cre­ated with exactly the same infor­ma­tion as the one you emailed. You can rename the new one and make changes as needed by open­ing its detail view by tap­ping on the blue (>) icon in the All Check­lists view.
      We hope this helps.

      Hi Ken,
      Thanks for the ques­tion. In the list view of check­lists, when you tap on the blue cir­cle (>) but­ton (the dis­clo­sure icon) to the right of the name of the check­list, its detail view comes up, which has many addi­tional options, includ­ing a trash icon for delet­ing a check­list. It’s a lit­tle tricky to tap on the (>) icon exactly as it’s a lit­tle small, and tap­ping on the cell with the name of the check­list brings up a sim­pler view. The behav­ior is sim­i­lar with shop­ping lists. When­ever there is a blue (>) icon, the detail view it brings up is dif­fer­ent than when you tap on any­where else on the cell. We’ve fol­lowed a stan­dard Apple pat­tern, but many times it is not very clear to users that those are dif­fer­ent actions, and we apol­o­gize for that.

The prob­lem, though, is that from Home when I tap the bot­tom left arrow icon, then go to Quick View, and then select (under Data Items) Check­list, none of my check­lists have the blue cir­cle (>) icon. I was only able to get to that icon by open­ing a check list and then going to Recent from the home screen. The bot­tom line, I was able to delete the check list I wanted to delete, but doing so was a bit unwieldy.

    A few sug­ges­tions to make Life Topix more usable and user friendly:
    1. The device cal­en­dar gives options of two alerts and you can choose their tim­ings– for exam­ple alert before 5 mins, or 10 mins if 1 hour or one day before event. Life Topix should also have such options of alerts for all tasks, reminders, events, appoint­ments, meet­ings, projects, sub-projects etc.
    2. Events indi­cated in the device cal­en­dar do not get reflected auto­mat­i­cally In the events cal­en­dar or events. In addi­tion, i gave to make a sep­a­rate entry in appo­jnt­ments whhch also do not show up in the events cal­en­dar. Ide­ally, we should just have to open up the “events cal­en­dar” which should show all meet­ings, appoint­ments and con­fer­ences that have been saved in device cal­en­dar, my cal­en­dar, appont­ments or any­where else.

        This is incon­ve­nient. That means to get an idea of all my appoint­ments and events, I have to open up 3 sep­a­rate things or atleast two– events cal­en­dar, appoint­ments, and my cal­en­dar. The “events cal­en­dar” should be all inclu­sive. We should just have to open up the events cal­en­dar in order to see all appoint­ments, events, meet­ings. Oth­er­wise peo­ple will find it more con­ve­nient to use the device cal­en­dar which seems to be all inclu­sive.
        Sec­ondly, you have option of two alerts for each cal­en­dar item in the device cal­en­dar, and you can choose tim­ing of each. For the events cal­en­dar or events sec­tion, you don’t have any or lim­ited choice. Third, you need to sim­plify the cat­e­gories and sub– cat­e­gories usage as right now it’s too complicated.

        This needs to be rec­ti­fied if peo­ple have to rely com­pletely on “light arrow, life topic”.

          We’ll do our best to improve the usabil­ity on the two other issues you’ve brought up. We really appre­ci­ate your feed­back. We do plan to sup­port richer alerts (reminder sets) for Life­Topix date rel­e­vant items.
          Best regards,
          Team LightArrow

    Hi, I would really like to be able to add my assets more quickly. Ide­ally, it would be really fan­tas­tic if I could scan bar­codes and take pic­tures to do this rather than spend­ing an inor­di­nate amount of time man­u­ally enter­ing a lot of tedious data. Are there any plans in the works to include this sort of capability?

      Hi Danae,
      Yes, we do plan to add bar­code scan­ning for both assets and for shop­ping top­ics in the future. We are eval­u­at­ing tech­nol­ogy choices for that right now. Once we nail down a more spe­cific release for this fea­ture, we’ll update it in our roadmap page.

      It really depen­des on the app. For exam­ple, for Ever­note, just enter the app name in the title, and hit Save. It’ll auto­mat­i­cally pop­u­late the launch URL (Evernote://) and app id (which is needed for the icon).
      Some apps sim­ply work like that. Some have dif­fer­ent launch URLs (for exam­ple Face­book uses fb://) and many apps do not sup­port this fea­ture (the abil­ity to be launched like this by other apps).
      Pin­ter­est, Twit­ter, Quora, Flip­board, Kin­dle, Zite, Pan­dora work the same way — sim­ple like Ever­note — just enter the title and save.
      You have to google search the Launch URL for other apps, and the app Id in order to find the icon.
      Over the next few days, we’ll add to our online help on this by adding a data­base of sup­ported apps.
      Best regards,

      I tried FB and it will not save. I com­plete all of the steps, hit “Save” and it returns me to the ‘My Apps’ screen with­out sav­ing.

        Please try this: enter Face­book as the title, and fb:// as the launch URL, and then tap Save.
        Also, we do make Face­book and Twit­ter avail­able out of the box as the two ini­tial entries in My Apps. Is that not what you see?

            We’re look­ing into why it’d work for some and not for oth­ers. Just to be sure, in the My Apps view, you tap + to bring up the App Detail view, where you type in Ever­note for the App Name, and then tap Save. The detail view closes, and you are back in the My Apps view, but it is blank?

              I think it may have some­thing to do with iCloud sync­ing. I backed up my data, purged iCloud, unin­stalled the app and rein­stalled it again. The My Apps screen is work­ing with the pre-populated apps. I was even able to add an app. I will turn iCloud sync back on and see what hap­pens. Just so you know, I was fol­low­ing the pro­ce­dure you men­tioned when I was try­ing to add an app. I’m using an iPad 2.

                Thank you for let­ting us know. Also, please make sure you have updated Life­Topix to 5.0.1 (which came out yes­ter­day) on all devices. Please let us know if you still have any issues.

                    Thanks for let­ting us know you already updated to 5.0.1. So far, we have had a few users report­ing an issue with launch­ing apps, but not with sav­ing apps. Per­haps some­thing did not work right when you had enabled iCloud with 5.0 ear­lier which was caus­ing the app save prob­lem for you. We hope it all works smoothly now for you, but the devel­op­ment team is going to inves­ti­gate the code to see what could have caused your issue ear­lier. It’d of course be an issue with our app and not your usage, so we need to find the issue and fix it so it does not hap­pen again or with oth­ers.
                    We really appre­ci­ate your patience and coop­er­a­tion when you have issues — it really helps us make Life­Topix rock solid!

    The pre­vi­ous ver­sion was very use­ful, but a lit­tle bit bor­ing. Now this appli­ca­tion meets all my expec­ta­tions, even those with whom I did not know before
    Great job. Thank you.

    Hi guys,
    I have seen your app in action and want to buy it.
    How­ever, I have seen men­tion of the immi­nent release of ver­sion 5.
    Should I wait, or will I be able to upgrade for free?

      Hi Ian,
      5.0 will be a free update for exist­ing users. For an app update from the app store to be free, Apple requires that you are logged in as the same iTunes user which is used to orig­i­nally make the pur­chase.
      We are very excited about the 5.0 update — we hope to sub­mit it to Apple for review in the next 3–4 days, and Apple typ­i­cally takes 7–10 days for approval before it’s avail­able on the App Store.
      Best regards,

      Hi Robert,
      We have a free com­pan­ion app on the mac app store called Life­Topix AirAc­cess: http://lightarrow.com/airaccess
      It con­nects to Life­Topix on your device (iPad, iPhone or iPod touch) and allows for eas­ier data entry/edit/viewing from the lux­ury of a Mac. It does not have a local data­base, but rather acts like a “remote con­trol” into Life­Topix on your device. We hope that helps.
