    I can’t get my iPod touch 5 and my MAC’s Life­Topix Air Access to work together. They are both con­nected to my Wi-Fi, both run­ning in the fore­ground, both con­nected to iCloud. When I open Life­Topix Air Access it doesn’t find the device. I just got my iPod and read all the reviews on orga­ni­za­tion aps, so had high hopes when I chose Life­Topix. Any clue what I’m doing wrong?

      Hi Sheryl,
      Thank you for reach­ing out. We are sorry you are hav­ing this issue, and we’ll work with you to resolve it.
      Can you check one thing real quick — from Life­Topix Set­tings, My Set­tings, can you see if “AirAc­cess Enabled” is set to Yes? If not, please set it to Yes and tap Save.
      Also, can you ver­ify the ver­sion of Life­Topix in its Set­tings view under About?
      Best regards,
      Team LightArrow

        Well that cer­tainly was a sim­ple fix…thank you. I will need time to fig­ure out how to use both of them together. I noticed that you can’t do every­thing on Air Access the same. For exam­ple I couldn’t add a task to a project only on the iPod and not all the notes are acces­si­ble. It may just be part of my learn­ing curve. I’m very pleased that I can use a full size key­board to add things. Great feature!

          Hi Sheryl,
          Glad to hear it! Yes, AirAc­cess sup­ports the most fre­quently used data, and not all of it yet. We plan to improve it with updates in the near future.

    I am very excited by the thought of the orga­ni­za­tion this app will give me how­ever I am hav­ing the hard­est time fig­ur­ing out where to start or how to use any of the functions!!

      Hi Jamie,
      Thanks for reach­ing out! We’d gladly to a phone ses­sion with you to go over the app, and also learn which aspects of it some­times make it con­fus­ing for new users. If you are open to that, please email us at sup­port @ lightar­row . com (with­out the spaces) and we’ll sched­ule a time. We are located in Austin, Texas (cen­tral time).

    Life­Topix is quickly becom­ming one of my favorite pro­duc­tiv­ity appli­ca­tions. I would like to see the abil­ity to search within the appli­ca­tion. Also the check­lists are a great addi­tion to the pro­duc­tiv­ity appli­ca­tion, but if we could assign the check­list to a task it would be help­ful to track the sta­tus and % com­plete of the task.

      Hi Mark,
      Thanks a bunch! We do have Search (acces­si­ble from the Quick Menu on bot­tom left) that goes across sev­eral things in Life­Topix. We are improv­ing it in 7.0 (early-June) and will con­tinue to improve it in future updates based on user feed­back. We like the idea of check­lists asso­ci­ated with tasks. In 7.0, check­lists have a due date as well (so you can treat it like a list of things to be done by a cer­tain date).
      Best regards,

    Is it pos­si­ble to limit the time dis­play in cal­en­dar from 00.00–00.00 to 07.00–23.00?

      Hi Yong,

      Thank you for reach­ing out to us with your question.

      This is a very pop­u­lar request from our users and we hope to have this fea­ture avail­able in our next update or shortly thereafter.

    Hi! Can I use Life­topix to col­lab­o­rate with some­one? I would like to col­lab­o­rate with one per­son only.

      Hi Anna,

      Thank you for reach­ing out to us with your question.

      You can share and col­lab­o­rate from the “Dis­cuss” sec­tion (Face­book, Twit­ter, Email, SMS icons) acces­si­ble from the side panel of the trip, task, shop­ping list, project, etc. detail view.

      Here is a video show­ing how Life­Topix sup­ports col­lab­o­ra­tion. The look of the app is older but the process is the same.

    Hi
    This is prob­a­bly a stu­pid ques­tion, but I haven’t fig­ured out how to make and view a sim­ple to-do list in Life­Topix! I can make check­lists that belong to a project, but how do I get an overview of the things I need to do today?

      Hi Diana,
      Thanks for reach­ing out with the ques­tion. The Home Agenda view is where you see all your dated items (near term agenda) — tasks, appoint­ments, reminders, trips, etc. You can choose spe­cific check­lists to be avail­able in the Home Agenda view as near term to do lists. The way to do that is tap­ping on “Add” to te right of “To do lists” in the Home Agenda view, and then either “New Check­list” or “Choose Exist­ing Check­list”. If you choose the lat­ter, you cam select an exist­ing one you’d like to have in this view.
      We hope this helps. Please let us know if we can help with any­thing else.
      Best regards,
      Team LightArrow

        OK, I poked around that func­tion, but just so you know, hav­ing to remem­ber the names of the check­lists and type them in is rather clunky. It would be much eas­ier for the user to select the check­lists from a list!

        Thanks!

          Hi Diana,
          The “Choose Exist­ing Check­list” option does bring up the exist­ing lists to pick from. Is that not what you are see­ing? Please let us know if we mis­un­der­stood what you meant.
          Best regards,

    Glad I found this app. Increases my pro­duc­tiv­ity! I would like to be able to add my own lists, but until then, I have a request/suggestion:

    Returns” in Shopping

    Thanks!

      Thanks so much! We do plan to sup­port Things to Return. Some­thing to con­sider int he mean­time — you can cre­ate a shop­pinglist and call it Things to Return, and then add that shop­ping list to the Hot List for easy access.

    Hi, I am still learn­ing about what your won­der­ful app can do. I have an issue with adding tasks — the cal­en­dar now comes up with Octo­ber 1, 2012 every time. How can I change this so that the cur­rent day comes up? Did i acci­den­tally change a default set­ting somewhere?

    A wish request! It would be great to have small options in date lines to “add 1 day“‘ “add 1 week”, “add 1 month” when you have to push out time­lines, if this might be pos­si­ble someday…!

    Thank you!
    Terri

      Hi Terri,
      Thanks so much for reach­ing out.
      In the My Cal­en­dar view, please tap on the Today but­ton towards the top left. It should per­sist from that point on. When you select a date to go to, it gets per­sisted, and you have to tap Today to reset it. Please let us know if that does not work.
      We like your fea­ture request — it makes per­fect sense. We’ll inves­ti­gate the best way to imple­ment it in the near future.

    Hi, it’s me again. Thank you for the PDF advice, I ini­tially did not save the file, it is nowhere in life­topix, and I do not get a sec­ond chance to save the file, please check this issue. After import­ing the PDF into my doc­u­ments I find I can­not link it to any­thing, would like to link it to my projects file. Try­ing to use Your app to plan and exe­cute a small project.

      Hi Cyrus,
      If you open a project detail, tap on the [+ Add Item] icon, tap on Cre­ate New, choose File, select Local Files for the folder, tap on the blue cir­cle (>) icon to select a file, go to My Doc­u­ments, tap on the name of the PDF file you had saved ear­lier, tap Set and then Save. That will asso­ciate the down­loaded PDF with the project.
      We hope that helps.
      Best regards,
      Team LightArrow

    I opened a .pdf file in life topix and there was no way to save it. Is there a work around. Please help


    • LightArrow
      Nov 11, 2012

      Hi Cyrus,
      When you open a PDF file in Life­Topix from an out­side app such as Email or Drop­box, it opens in a view in Life­Topix that has a action but­ton on the top right, which gives you a Save and a Print option. If you select Save, it saves the file in the folder of Notes + Files > All Fold­ers > Local Files > My Doc­u­ments.
      If you open a PDF file already in Life­Topix in the My Doc­u­ments folder, we do not give a Save option again, but rather the action icon now allows you to open it in other apps.

    Good day, when using projects, I find that pics attached to one item show up in the ‘media’ folder. I am unable to share the pics between projects. Thereby end­ing up with mul­ti­ple pics, with cor­re­spond­ing increase in size. I am slowly but steadily using this app. It’s great.

      Hi Cyrus,
      Thanks for the ques­tion. In an update in the near future, we’ll add the abil­ity to attach exist­ing pho­tos from the Media folder to projects, trips etc.

    Could you please instruct me on any font changes I can make. At my age, I need the bold dark font. Thank you. Peggy

      Hi Peggy,
      We have made the fonts in sev­eral views much more read­able in the 5.1 update com­ing late this month. We apol­o­gize for the incon­ve­nience.
