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,
Team LightArrow
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.
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!
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,
Team LightArrow
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…!
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
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.

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.
