   Hi,

   Your app seem great but here some requests:
   – Faster way to mark com­pleted tasks
   – Drag and drop tasks in calendar(in month view)
   – Re-arrange and red­i­men­sion tasks and events in day view by drag­ging them.

   Also I +1 : — show com­pleted tasks with a line through them in ALL views
   – nar­row­ing time range (show only work­ing hours, no more annoy­ing scrolling)

   Thanks.

     Hi Anne,

     Thank you for reach­ing out to us with your suggestions.

     Cur­rently you can mark a task com­pleted from a task list by tap­ping on the icon to the right of the title. This will present you with sta­tus options for the task. Alter­na­tively, you can tap on the more but­ton (icon with green arrow point­ing down) which will present you with a menu from which you can set the sta­tus right from the list.

     We have plans to sup­port drag and drop of items in our cal­en­dar views as well as sup­port for nar­row­ing the time range in our day and week views to show only work­ing hours. We hope to have these fea­tures avail­able in an update in the near future.

     We also have plans to enhance our day and week views to pro­vide eas­ier user inter­ac­tion. We will make sure to for­ward your sug­ges­tion of adding sup­port for re-arranging as well as re-dimensioning items in the day and week views to our devel­op­ers and add it to our backlog.

     Com­pleted tasks in lists are shown with lines through the titles. If you are see­ing a com­pleted task with­out a line through the title, would you mind let­ting us know which view this is hap­pen­ing in so we can cor­rect the issue?

   I don’t own any of Apple prod­ucts. I wish to be noti­fied when the Android ver­sion is out. I can’t wait to buy this all-in-one life orga­nizer. I’m using sev­eral apps write now, but they don’t talk to each other like Life­Topix does.

   Under the “All Bank Accounts” section:

   I love the fact that I can keep track of my trans­ac­tion, but with regards to indi­vid­ual bank tabs, is there a way to print out a list of our trans­ac­tion? At the moment, when I click on a bank tab, it obvi­ously shows my trans­ac­tion, but I don’t see the lit­tle printer icon any­where. The only time it’s vis­i­ble is when I click back to where it shows the name of the bank, cur­rent bal­ance, start bal­ance, etc.

   Thanks in advance for look­ing into this prob­lem. Keep up the great work and I love this app (:

   Thank you for your hard work and your ded­i­ca­tion to improv­ing this won­der­ful application.

   I have a cou­ple of projects that repeat them­selves on a reg­u­lar basis. If I could request an option to dupli­cate an exist­ing project so that I could sim­ply update the var­i­ous start and due dates and save the time of enter­ing every­thing over and over again? This would be a great help to me!

   Con­cepts I’d love to see real­ized:
   1– Sup­port for wiki links in all notes.
   2– Note to note link­ing.
   3– URL sup­port in notes: web­sites, emails, phone num­bers, etc.
   4– Multi-tab func­tion­al­ity on iPad.
   5– Full OSX client. Daylite is really the only CRM soft­ware on The Mac. Hav­ing a cloud-based LT client sync­ing with IOS devices is a major need for solo pro­fes­sion­als.
   6– Bet­ter hand­writ­ing and draw­ing con­trols. Need palm protection.

       Thanks for the quick reply. Regard­ing mul­ti­ple tab sup­port for LT: I envi­sion a tab bar sim­i­lar to a browser expe­ri­ence. Select a ‘+’ icon and another tab win­dow opens to the right, allow­ing the user to nav­i­gate tabbed views inde­pen­dently. Pref­er­ences will set tab behav­iors. For exam­ple, ‘Main­tain tab views at app close / open’. The chal­lenge would be to repli­cate the tab par­a­digm on the iPhone. Chal­leng­ing but doable. Your team has a big chal­lenge in ver­sion­ing soft­ware built on such a grand multi-module model. How do you add more value but make the app eas­ier to nav­i­gate and use? I am eager to ride along on the jour­ney. Keep up the great work.

    To get this app into a new level an ana­lyz­ing tool is need — graph­i­cal pre­sen­ta­tions of num­bers in dia­grams. This is use­ful in many ways, like see­ing com­ple­tion rates, hourly mea­sures, bills and income ris­ing and falling. To make cor­rect deci­sions, this is absolutely vital.

      If you daughter’s cal­en­dar is shared with you and is vis­i­ble in your iPad/iPhone Cal­en­dar app as one of the cal­en­dars, its items will show up in Life­Topix My Cal­en­dar, Home and Event topic views. Life­Topix will uti­lize the color of the cal­en­dar as deter­mined in your Cal­en­dar app for that par­tic­u­lar cal­en­dar, so that they’ll stand out fro your other cal­en­dars. The col­ors are only rel­e­vant in the Day and Week views.

    The app I have been wait­ing for to organ­ise my work & home lives!! I have been using Life­topix for about a month now and over­all it is excel­lent for most of the things I want to do. There are a cou­ple of things I would like to sug­gest (if there is already a way of doing these, please let me know):

    * I use the app for organ­is­ing work that I give to other peo­ple. I set them up as own­ers of tasks but when I look them up under the Peo­ple topic I can only see 1 task they own rather than all of them. In terms of man­ag­ing what I del­e­gate, it would be really help­ful if I could see a list of ALL tasks (both com­pleted and active) asso­ci­ated with a par­tic­u­lar per­son.
    * Is there any way of hav­ing dif­fer­ent colours for each type of activ­ity e.g. Task, Event etc. so that when you look at them in the cal­en­dar view, it is easy to see what you have on dur­ing the day? Not a major thing — just ease of use
    * Would it be pos­si­ble to show com­pleted tasks with a line through them in ALL views. I use con­texts to group dif­fer­ent things together, e.g. tasks, projects and events related to the same part of my work. When I look them up in the con­texts view, it would be help­ful if The com­pleted tasks had a line through them.
    I can’t over­state how good this app is though (and I have tried loads of them.……) so keep up the good work.
    Best Regards

      Hi Stephanie,
      Thanks for your kind words and ques­tions.
      Not show­ing all the tasks for the per­son is a defect — we’ll fix it in our 5.2 update tar­geted for mid-December.
      Today we dif­fer­en­ti­ate by icon, and we do plan to sup­port col­ors by type in the future for mixed views like My Cal­en­dar.
      Regard­ing the last item — strikethroughs for tasks in all views — we just fin­ished that and sub­mit­ted the 5.1.1 update to Apple fore review. We expect it to be avail­able by next week.
      We hope this helps.

    Hi, I really love this func­tion­al­ity of this app. I was won­der­ing if it would be pos­si­ble to have the cal­en­dar show sug­gested times to com­plete cer­tain tasks. Because the task can be given a cer­tain amount of time needed to fin­ish and a date to be fin­ished by, the cal­en­dar could pick an open spot (that fits the time con­straints) and indi­cate that this would be a good time to do it. This could be an optional fea­ture, but I think it could be really help­ful for users to be able to eas­ily see when they could accom­plish tasks in rela­tion to the rest of their sched­uled events. If the user thinks decides to place the task at the sug­gested date, then it can be eas­ily placed onto the calendar.

It is indeed in our plans to do some sim­i­lar things when we strengthen the Tasks + Projects topic in how it inter­acts with the My Cal­en­dar data. For tasks that have effort spec­i­fied, we plan to sup­port an auto-schedule fea­ture abid­ing by some user spec­i­fied sim­ple rules. Once we have pla­nend this fea­ture enough, we will update our roadmap to iden­tify the spe­cific release and time­frame.

      Hello Vin­cent,
      Thank you for your com­ments. We do plan to trans­late all the text in LifeTopix’s inter­face to other lan­guages (espe­cially French, Ger­man and Span­ish) in the future. We do not have a spe­cific time­frame yet as we’ve had to focus on mak­ing the app more com­plete and more solid until now, and expect to do that more before we get a chance to sup­port trans­la­tions.
      We are sorry to hear that iCloud sync does not work reli­ably for you. We have heard that from some other users as well, and we’ve been mak­ing improve­ments with each update. Solid reli­a­bil­ity of iCloud sync is a very impor­tant goal for our app, and we’ll make fixes as we find other issues. In the mean­time, some of our users have been rely­ing on our Drop­box backup and restore as a more reli­able way to keep the data the same on their iPhone and iPad, but that is a stop gap approach and we are work­ing hard to resolve all issues in mak­ing iCloud sync reli­able.
      We do plan to sup­port Android and Win­dows 8 down the road — more info at: http://lightarrow.com/lifetopix/common-questions/q-does-lifetopix-support-android-windows-and-mac

    I just pur­chased your app because a coworker told me that it works well with the time-management process devel­oped by David Allen, in his book Get­ting Things Done. I must admit… Life­Topix is a good match. One fea­ture, you could add, to make it a per­fect fit would be location-specific lists. You sort-of already do this with the shop­ping list–these are basi­cally tasks to be done ‘At the Store.’ Yet, Mr. Allen takes it a step fur­ther. He rec­om­mends hav­ing sep­a­rate lists for things you can accom­plish ‘At Work’ or ‘At Home’ or ‘While Not Online’ (since many of us do a lot of fly­ing). Then, there is a list of things that you can do ‘Any­where.’ If Life­Topix could dis­cover my cur­rent loca­tion, from my iPad’s GPS (and also check to see if I’m online), and then give me a spe­cific ToDo list based on whether I’m At Home or At Work or At a Sem­i­nar or Not Online, it would be a most-righteous pro­duc­tiv­ity tool.

      Hi Ric,
      Thanks so much for reach­ing out, for your kind words and the sug­ges­tions. We have tried to take a very prag­matic and com­pre­hen­sive approach to pro­duc­tiv­ity.
      Even though our cur­rent prox­im­ity based “Near Me” fea­ture (pri­mar­ily for tasks and shop­ping items) does take advan­tage of loca­tion, it requires loca­tion to be set on tasks and for stores for it to work. The good news is, since we also sup­port con­texts (Work, Home, etc.), we plan to enhance that with loca­tion, so that all items in a given con­text (tasks, shop­ping, events, or what­ever) would be avail­able by deter­min­ing if the loca­tion set in the con­text is where the device cur­rently is. We think that’ll accom­plish what you are look­ing for. That fea­ture is cur­rently planned for our 5.1 update (we are wrap­ping up 5.0 right now for an early-August avail­abil­ity).
      We truly appre­ci­ate users like you that inspire us to make Life­Topix more use­ful!

      We intend to add that abil­ity for prod­ucts (in Shop­ping) and also assets in a future update. Once we have a bet­ter idea of the tar­get time­frame, we’ll update our Roadmap page.

    I use Michael Linenberger’s task method­ol­ogy as he outline’s in his book Total Work­day Con­trol using Microsoft Out­look. It has been extrememly help­ful as he gives instruc­tions on how to use and set up a non-guilt dri­ven task man­age­ment sys­tem that uses start dates instead of due dates. I tend not to respect due dates, espe­cially when every­thing turns red. Start dates allow me to man­age my tasks in a way that lets me get them done at my own pace with­out the pres­sure of loom­ing dead­lines since most of my tasks don’t have actual dead­lines any­way. Maybe that’s way too much con­text, but I’m won­der­ing if you could build in some flex­i­bil­ity to how the tasks are man­aged. I’m strug­gling to use the app pri­mar­ily because it con­flicts with how I man­age my tasks in too­dledo and out­look. Would it be pos­si­ble to add the abil­ity to con­trol how tasks are man­aged to fit the vari­ety of task man­age­ment think­ing out there? EXCELLENT work on the app and the thought involved in the Life­Topix sys­tem. You guys rock!

      We really appre­ci­ate your kind words and for reach­ing out to us with the ques­tion. We’d love to inves­ti­gate this to see how we can add flex­i­bil­ity to task man­age­ment in our app. Do you mind giv­ing us an exam­ple or two of how you’d want the flex­i­bil­ity to be?

        Sorry for the delay in respond­ing. The main way I would like to have flex­i­bil­ity to task man­age­ment would be to have some con­trol over how I view the order of my tasks and how the tasks show up in life­topix. ie, I would pre­fer to order my tasks by start date rather than due date, and I would turn off noti­fi­ca­tions and high­light­ing telling me when a task is over­due. I am way more pro­duc­tive and respect my task list when I think about when I need to start a task rather than feel­ing guilt dri­ven to com­plete a task by the due date set­tings. Also, I’d like the option to not add tasks to my cal­en­dar. If you hap­pen to have task­taskhd, they do a good job of let­ting you set up a view based upon exist­ing task fields.

    Hi,
    I really enjoy using your app and I think that a really nice added fea­ture to the app would be cos­tu­miz­able color themes, icons and the apps that show in the front page, as it is impos­si­ble that a sin­gle uni­ver­sal color scheme will suit every sin­gle user. Every­one is difer­ent, and so are the most used fea­tures of your app accord­ing to each one. For exam­ple, I don’t really use the finances app and I would like to be able to hide it from the main page, to make the app more effi­cient accord­ing to my needs. Over­all, great app! I admire your con­cern with the users pref­er­ences. Thank you!

      Hi Maria,
      Thank you for the kind words, and for the sug­ges­tions! You’ll be happy to know that top­ics can be con­fig­ured (sim­i­lar the way you’ve described) already in the app. When in the My Top­ics panel, if you tap on the (i) icon on the top right, you can show, hide and reorder the top­ics. We hope that helps.
      We agree with you on the theme sup­port. We have not done that yet as redo­ing images and hav­ing them match in var­i­ous col­ors is a lot of effort, so we have pri­or­i­tized other fea­tures over that up to this point. How­ever, theme sup­port is a very pop­u­lar request, and we do plan to sup­port it in the future.

      You’re actu­ally the first per­son who has pointed out to us that there are some folks out there who can­not uti­lize iCloud for sync’ing due to cor­po­rate pol­icy. We’ll have to give that some thought.

      As for a way for you and your wife to have the same view into cer­tain Life­Topix data, that falls nicely into the topic of col­lab­o­ra­tion, and we’ve got lots of great ideas on that front which we’re actively work­ing on at this very moment.

    I’ve been using this for a cou­ple of months now and the more i do, the more uses i find. I love the inte­gra­tion! It has com­pletely spoiled me. So much that i was dis­ap­pointed to real­ize that there seems to be no link between events and places. I fre­quently attend out of town work events and take anex­tra “trip” day to see the sights, and it would be nice to get the event in with thw rest of the trip infor­ma­tion. Unless it’s there and I just haven’t found it yet; I’m still work­ing out all the possibilities.

      We agree that it would be use­ful to be able to add a Life­Topix “Place” to an event (or a trip, etc.). We have added this as a fea­ture to work on for a future release.

      Today we allow a topic object like a trip or event to con­tain items like notes, appoint­ments, reminders, etc. We are con­sid­er­ing extend­ing that to allow topic objects to be asso­ci­ated with one another. That way, your event and trip could be “connected”.

    I would like to see bet­ter inte­gra­tion between notes and actions. Typ­i­cally note tak­ing in a meet­ing intro­duces actions. It would be great to bring up a quick tasks sub screen while you are note tak­ing. Alter­na­tively, the abil­ity to high­light sec­tions of notes so they become actions. And when list­ing all actions together, the abil­ity to know where the action came from i.e which note it is linked to if at all.

      Hi Rahat,

      Thanks very much for those suggestions.

      We are cur­rently work­ing on some ideas to address the first part of what you sug­gest (i.e., being able to quickly per­form other related actions in Life­Topix like when you need to cre­ate actions while you are in a note view, etc.). Until then, you are able to cre­ate tasks from the Note detail view as soon as you close the body of the note.

      We also have some ideas for the sec­ond part of what you sug­gest (i.e., being able to con­vert infor­ma­tion from one type to another).

      We hope to be able to include some­thing in both of these areas in our 5.0 release planned for mid-June.

    i love to be able to go back and forth between notes tasks and cal­en­dar.  with the lat­est ver­sion of your soft­ware I have to enter into one of these and then back out of it to get to one of the oth­ers.  For exam­ple, I am in a meet­ing this morn­ing and am tak­ing notes for this meet­ing but i also have to check on my cal­en­dar and add appoint­ments and/or notes.  I have tried to go back and forth between notes, tasks, and cal­en­dar and this is quite dif­fi­cult to do.  Ide­ally, i would have icons some­where on the screen that would let me quickly switch back and forth between these (the last state of them so I don’t have to save and restart them each time).  I can cur­rently do this using 3 dif­fer­ent apps (ever­note, cal­en­dar, task app) and the mul­ti­task­ing capa­bil­i­ties of the ios.  As you point out in your intro­duc­tion, your app is a one-stop-shopping app for these things but the truth is it’s cur­rently eas­ier for me to tog­gle between the dif­fer­ent apps than it is to use life­topix.  If life­topix were at least as easy as using mul­ti­ple apps with the added ben­e­fit of being able to link things then you will have a winner.

    I recently down­loaded your app and really like the con­cept but am strug­gling with the imple­men­ta­tion. At the end of the day, I want a tool that is opti­mized for effi­ciency and you have a ways to go to achieve this. For exam­ple, while some peo­ple might use all of the avail­able func­tion­al­ity of your app, I sus­pect that a large major­ity only use two or three of the fea­tures, namely cal­en­dar, notes, and tasks. It would be great to have a screen that has been opti­mized to work with these key fea­tures. Fur­ther opti­miza­tion could be done on each of these. For exam­ple, notes just need to be cap­tured and cat­a­logued so make those two func­tions very easy and intu­itive to do. Tasks need to be cap­tured, pri­or­i­tized, and assigned a due date. So make these really easy to do. Fur­ther­more, the due date will likely be a day rather than day/hour/minute, and the due date will likely be in the next 30 days so so make it really easy to assign a day in the next 30 with­out hav­ing to go to the dial a date tool (one of my least favorite iOS widgets).

    I am a prod­uct designer (med­ical device) and in the past have fallen into the trap of try­ing to gen­er­al­ize user inter­faces so that they can be all things to all peo­ple only to learn that 90% of our users were using 10% of the fea­tures. We then took the approach of opti­miz­ing the tool for the most oft used fea­tures and we greatly enhanced the user expe­ri­ence. We kept the full func­tion­al­ity but that was acces­si­ble through an “advanced” user screen. We needed to do this to keep our power users happy but I sus­pect they would have adapted had we elim­i­nated that option alto­gether. I have been using iPads now since the first iPad was released and have been look­ing for a sin­gle app that lets me orga­nize my life. Yours is the first that I have been able to find that has tack­led this con­cept; it’s just that it needs to be more nat­ural to use for the “basics”.

      Hi Jim,
      First of all, thank you so much for your very thought­ful com­ments.
      We totally agree. We have strug­gled with the bal­ance of “the power and com­plete­ness” of the app with “sim­plic­ity and opti­mized for com­mon usage” aspect from the begin­ning. With each update of the app, we have been mak­ing incre­men­tal improve­ments with­out back­ing off on our vision of a com­plete app that inter­con­nects related things nat­u­rally. You’ll be happy to hear that our next major release (5.0, due in mid-June) is 90% about usabil­ity improve­ments and an over­haul of the ini­tial screens to make the app a lot more intu­itive.
      Users like you moti­vate us — peo­ple who get what we are try­ing to accom­plish (unlike the hun­dreds of other cute lit­tle list apps). But we have much to learn and improve on deliv­er­ing on our vision with the ease of use expected by our users.

    “4) The account bal­ance should reflect all trans­ac­tions after the bal­ance date, but there was a bug in 3.0.2 where this wasn’t hap­pen­ing in cer­tain cir­cum­stances. We believe we have fixed this in 4.0, but we would ask you to please con­tact us via our sup­port email to just give us a few of the rel­e­vant details (account type, bal­ance, and bal­ance date of the account; trans­ac­tion type, with­drawal or deposit, trans­ac­tion date and amount of each trans­ac­tion) so that we can add this to our test suite and make sure we haven’t missed an edge case.”

    Thanks for the response! I *think* I fig­ured out what was hap­pen­ing. I had an ini­tial bal­ance date of 1/29 with a trans­ac­tion ALSO on that date. The trans­ac­tion was a deposit for $70, which wasn’t being counted. I changed the ini­tial bal­ance date to 1/28, and it counted the $70 deposit on the 29th. Now the total looks fine. SO.. my assump­tion is that you can NOT have ANY trans­ac­tions on your ini­tial bal­ance date that you want to include in your totals. I’m going to dou­ble check the other accounts, and play with it a bit more, and if I dis­cover any­thing else, I will cer­tainly con­tact sup­port. But, as it stands, I *think* it’s work­ing prop­erly now. Thanks!

      You are cor­rect. Since the bal­ance date is a date only field and not a date and time field, the bal­ance cal­cu­la­tion includes only trans­ac­tions whose dates are later than the bal­ance date, not later than or equal to.

      We real­ize that this is not prac­ti­cal in all cases, so for the next release we will be chang­ing this to allow you to spec­ify a date and time for the bal­ance and trans­ac­tions and both of those will be taken into con­sid­er­a­tion when we cal­cu­late the balance.

      Then we’ll only have an issue if you have a trans­ac­tion at the same date/hour/minute as the bal­ance. If it gets to that, then we’ll just have to allow you to spec­ify those down to a mil­lisec­ond gran­u­lar­ity.

    I love this app. There are a cou­ple of fea­tures I’d like to see, if at all pos­si­ble, please.

    1) I’ve men­tioned some­where else that Siri inte­gra­tion would be incred­i­ble. I use Siri for instant reminders and notes, and hav­ing those tied into Life­topix would be such a time-saver. A pos­si­ble workaround would be to hook into the iPhone apps, sim­i­lar to what you did with the cal­en­dar. That way things made in the res­i­dent iPhone apps via Siri could be reflected in Life­topix, if full Siri sup­port isn’t possible.

    2) I can’t WAIT for Ever­note func­tion­al­ity. I’ve made the switch from Spring­pad to Ever­note and I love it. I use Ever­note for project track­ing, and to be able to pull up those check­lists inside of Life­topix would be really great.

    3) Cross func­tion­ing with Berokyo, or greater flex­i­bil­ity in attach­ing files would be really help­ful. I can’t save res­i­dent iPhone notes or tasks, and bring them into Life­topix. I have files in Life­topix which were down­loaded from Drop­box, but which I can’t seem to link with the projects I need them for. I’ve cre­ated notes in Life­topix, but I can’t seem to attach those to the projects they’re for, either. I’m a lit­tle unclear about how this sec­tion is sup­posed to actu­ally work.

    4) Changes to the finan­cial sec­tion, to make it clearer. I know a lot of folks are inter­ested in the abil­ity to pay bills from Life­topix, but I really hope that will be optional and not a manda­tory func­tion. I think that hav­ing a sin­gle app to con­trol all of my bill pay­ments is a bit risky. I’m just not com­fort­able with that yet. I pay all my bills directly, online, via indi­vid­ual agree­ments with ven­dors, so I don’t really need a fea­ture like this. I would, how­ever, really like to see the accounts able to keep a run­ning total. I wanted to use the finan­cial sec­tion like I’d use Quicken or Money. I set up an account for my bank account, and then started list­ing trans­ac­tions (all trans­ac­tions were after the bal­ance date). How­ever, the account still shows the orig­i­nal bal­ance, and not an updated total, which makes it less-than use­ful for me. Any chance this will be in a future release?

    Thanks again for such a great app! I’m wait­ing with bated breath for the mid-February update!

      Hi Net­jera,

      Thanks very much for your thought­ful suggestions!

      1) We are eager to see what Apple makes avail­able to us in terms of the Siri inter­faces they are going to expose to app devel­op­ers. In the mean time, you pose an inter­est­ing idea for a workaround. Unfor­tu­nately, at this point Apple does not pro­vide us any inter­faces that allow us access into the native Reminders app — we wish they would! The notes inte­gra­tion might be pos­si­ble, given the cur­rently avail­able inter­faces, so we’ll give that some consideration.

      2) We can’t wait for our 4.0 release to be avail­able for you so you can have the Ever­note inte­gra­tion (and iCloud Sync, and other fea­tures in 4.0)! We are in final test­ing now, so it shouldn’t be much longer.

      3) In the cur­rent release (3.0.2), we made item types like tasks, reminders, check­lists, audio, video, pho­tos, etc. a com­po­nent of almost every topic object. That allowed you to cre­ate a new reminder/checklist/audio/video/photo/etc to the topic object you are defin­ing, and that was step 1. Step 2 of this will be to allow you to pick and choose an exist­ing reminder/checklist/audio/video/photo/etc to asso­ciate with a topic object, much they way you can with tasks today.

      4) The account bal­ance should reflect all trans­ac­tions after the bal­ance date, but there was a bug in 3.0.2 where this wasn’t hap­pen­ing in cer­tain cir­cum­stances. We believe we have fixed this in 4.0, but we would ask you to please con­tact us via our sup­port email to just give us a few of the rel­e­vant details (account type, bal­ance, and bal­ance date of the account; trans­ac­tion type, with­drawal or deposit, trans­ac­tion date and amount of each trans­ac­tion) so that we can add this to our test suite and make sure we haven’t missed an edge case.

      Thanks again for your loy­alty and feedback!

      Team LightAr­row.

        Have you heard any more about Apple giv­ing devel­op­ers access to Siri so you could incor­po­rate it in your app. I have already been using another app for over 2 years and I was brows­ing and saw your app as more fea­tures. The one fea­ture I need to any task app is being able to use Siri to cre­ate the entry for me. So many times I am dri­ving or run­ning and some­thing pops in my head and wish I could get that added in an app besides using the Siri task.

          Hi Theresa,
          Today, when you add device Reminder app entries and device Cal­en­dar app entries using Siri, those are auto­mat­i­cally picked up by Life­Topix and shown in the Agenda, My Cal­en­dar and Event topic views. Also, in Life­Topix, when you are adding an item, you can speak the title and detail text using the micro­phone icon in the key­board. We are look­ing into tak­ing fur­ther advan­tage of Siri to add notes and other items into Life­Topix directly, as well as cre­at­ing items in Life­Topix from emails.

        I too look for­ward to an Android Ver­sion if it comes on your roadmap. I have been look­ing for exactly this kind of app for my Kin­dle Fire (android com­pat­i­ble, but through Ama­zon Android App Store — which unfor­tu­nately is dif­fer­ent than just the Android app store). If you do get an Android ver­sion going, I don’t know what it takes to have both Ama­zon and Android app stores sell it, but I hope you will at least look into it. Thank you.

          Thanks very much for your input.

          When we get to the point of work­ing on the Android ver­sion of Life­Topix, we’ll make sure we look at what it takes to make it avail­able on as many of the Android mar­ket­places as possible.

    Oh yea. I for­got a big request. Lol

    Shar­ing. For exam­ple, shared gro­cery lists. Or shared events. Abil­ity to invite peo­ple to sync with your topic, on a per topic basis. Like, I want my busi­ness part­ner to be able to add to my busi­ness assets, and i want my addi­tions to add to his busi­ness assets list, but I do not want him to be able to add to my home assets. I think this would kill the need for other apps, like Gro­cery IQ as an exam­ple off the top of my head.

      Dear Brain­don­key,
      Thanks so much for the kind words and the sug­ges­tions in this and the pre­vi­ous com­ment.
      We do cur­rently sup­port email based shar­ing of shop­ping lists, events, projects, tasks etc. We do intend to make the shar­ing and col­lab­o­ra­tion more like what you’re say­ing. Excit­ing things are on the way!
      We plan to improve our exist­ing “Near Me” fea­ture for tasks, notes, shop­ping items etc for improved geofenc­ing — includ­ing auto­mated loca­tion based reminders. Also, sync is in progress — we don;t have an time­frame for that but we want to make it drop dead sim­ple.
      We do agree that the value of our app is a lot higher than what we charge for it. But we have a one way to go, and intend to always raise that bar on value for money in the app space.
      We are truly excited about where we’re tak­ing the app — dri­ven both by our vision for it as well as feed­back from savvy users. We truly appre­ci­ate your sug­ges­tions!
      Best regards,

      I don’t know. I’d like to see the abil­ity to pull my Gro­cery IQ list into Life­Topix, but the rea­son I don’t use Life­Topix for gro­cery shop­ping, is because I use the Gro­cery IQ scan fea­ture so much. Ide­ally, a gro­cery app that com­bined Gro­cery IQ’s abil­ity to scan items,and Gro­cery Pal’s abil­ity to search for local fliers and coupons, would be per­fect for me. There isn’t a com­bined app that I’ve found so far.

      I con­tem­plated men­tion­ing a more com­pre­hen­sive gro­cery app as a Life­topix pos­si­bil­ity, but there comes a point where an app with so many mod­ules will become unwieldy to create/maintain with so many lit­tle, indi­vid­ual details included. Of course, if that’s where LightAr­row is going, “The ONE TRUE app..” lol.. then we’d all bet­ter be pre­pared to be patient for that per­fect app, because it will take a while to get every­thing together. I, for one, am ready to wait though.

        We agree that bar­code scan­ning would be a nice exten­sion to our shop­ping topic and that is one thing we have wanted to add to our prod­uct for a while now. The last time we researched this, the com­mer­cial ver­sions of the prod­uct data­base that could be licensed were pro­hib­i­tively expen­sive, and the free or less expen­sive ver­sions were not quite robust enough to meet our qual­ity standards.

        We’ll re-visit that again to see if things have changed. Fail­ing that, since Gro­cery IQ has online access, we’ll inves­ti­gate the pos­si­bil­ity of being able to import Gro­cery IQ lists into Life­Topix Shopping.

    As oth­ers have said, mind bog­gling how much stuff this thing can track. I’m still try­ing to fig­ure out how to uti­lize it all effectively.

    A cou­ple of requests,suggestions,etc.

    Geofenc­ing would be great, which I assume is avail­able in the ios5 API, and apple didn’t keep it pri­vate. Elim­i­nates need for apple reminders app.

    Sync between devices auto­mat­i­cally. I know you could backup and restore, but that’s annoy­ing

    Web access. Then you have no more apple/windows Dev issues.

    Raise price. Lol. Or at least do online Fea­tures and charge for them. $5 is a Steal.

      Hi Nikki!
      Thanks for your ques­tion. Yes, we are work­ing on a Mac client for Life­Topix, tar­geted for this Sep­tem­ber. The Mac client can access Life­Topix on the iPad/iPhone/iPod touch for view­ing, edit­ing and adding data. In other words, with Life­Topix run­ning on your “iDe­vice”, you can access its data via a Mac for eas­ier data entry and updates. We are very excited about this as many of our users have asked for this capa­bil­ity. We hope this helps with what you are look­ing for.

      We added CSV import for sev­eral data items in 2.0, but have not yet extended that to the data in the Finances topic. What kinds of finan­cial infor­ma­tion would you like to import into Life­Topix? To help us pri­or­i­tize, would you mind shar­ing with us some exam­ple sce­nar­ios that you’d like to see the prod­uct do?

        Thank you for your reply. I apol­o­gize for reply­ing after so long. What I’d like to be able to import into Life­Topix is the date of trans­ac­tion, to whom the trans­ac­tion was made, the amount of the trans­ac­tion, and what account was affected by the trans­ac­tion. Also, I see that accounts can be deb­ited on a recur­ring basis, is there a way for accounts to be cred­ited, so that they can reflect the entry of my paycheck?

        Although I’m still work­ing my way through Life­Topix (the capa­bil­i­ties are mind bog­gling!), what I’d like to be able to do with the Finance por­tion is some­thing like the fol­low­ing. In the morn­ing I would down­load the lat­est trans­ac­tions from my account in a CSV file (or some other for­mat that Life­Topix accepts) and import it into Life­Topix. This would update all the bal­ances for my accounts by reflect­ing any trans­ac­tions since the last down­load. As I go through my day, I can either add cash, credit or debit card trans­ac­tions into Life­Topix as they occur or (even bet­ter) Life­Topix per­forms peri­odic down­loads of the file and updates itself.

      Hi Ericka,

      Thanks for your ques­tion. We have indeed thought about cre­at­ing an Android ver­sion down the road, but we don’t have an esti­mated time frame for that yet. As you know, both the mar­ket­place and the under­ly­ing tech­nol­ogy for Android apps are quite dif­fer­ent from Apple’s App Store and under­ly­ing tech­nol­ogy. There­fore, we have to sort through all that, all while main­tain­ing the very fast pace we have been on for all the fea­tures we have been devel­op­ing (and have planned!) for the product.

      For sure, we will announce those plans with great fan­fare on our roadmap once we do reach the point where we have nailed down a time frame.
