Thanks so much for the update! I appreciate it. Funny that you mentioned ionic/cordova/phone gap. We are actually developing an app ourselves and have recently decided to steer clear of ionic and instead focus on native dev.
You have a great product here with a lot of potential. Push through it!
Ok! Thank you James for the clarification and sorry for my misinterpretation. I will continue to follow the developments on this forum. Until then, I will make due with Todoist, that doesn’t contain some really nice features of GTDNext, like “Next action view”. Keep up the good work!
Things are going well! Thanks for asking. Albeit slower than we would like on the dedicated apps. However, we have been working over the last few weeks to provide a much better experience using the web app on mobile devices. We haven’t announced it yet, as it’s still in progress, but you can try it now.
Give it a try and let us know what you think . The web app will work on iphones and android. We automatically hide the left pane to give more room for the middle pane and also default to not showing the right pane. This gives you the ability to see your outline and make changes. We will also be adding the ability to show the left pane when needed. Also, please note, we’ve noticed it doesn’t work well in private browsing mode, so use it in your regular non-private mode.
Would love your feedback (and everyone else as well!) It’s not a substitute for dedicated mobile apps, but will hopefully help fill the hole until we can finish the dedicated apps.
When I log in through my mobile (Iphone 5) I feel it is just the same as when I tried a few months ago. Are there maybe a certain subdomain that I should log in to? As I see it now it is not something I can use on my mobile. Or have I misunderstood something?
Hi Andreas - No special URL. You should notice on the mobile view the absence of the left pane (we will add the ability to see the left pane soon) and you should also notice that the right pane now “slides” over the main middle pane when you press the “show panel” button. Before we implemented responsive, we crammed all three panes into one view, which obviously doesn’t work well on mobile. Take a look again and let me know if you don’t see those changes. Thanks!
We are looking at making the text re-sizable (via pinch zoom/unzoom). The trick is to do it only with some screen elements and not the others, like the title bar.
sigh, still no mobile app. That just makes me sad. Better access on mobile via the web is a poor substitute. I keep checking back, and checking back, but still nothing. I think, after a year it is time I quit checking. Really disappointed in this.
HI Susan - Sorry to disappoint. We wish the mobile app was done as well.
The good news (at least from others perspective) is mobile web is now out and we have very good feedback from those who have tried it.(and more enhancements coming)
Looks like that isn’t an option for you, but luckily it is for many.
I appreciate the effort of try to enhance the web app on the iphone/ipad, but the using experience is very far from optimal and I lost a lot of time trying to press the right buttons and scrolling up and down to get the task panel. When we will have the mobile app? This continues to be really a showstopper for GTD Next, as far I’m concerned.
Yup, we hear you. Native mobile apps are important. Additionally, we are certainly not done with the mobile web experience. More enhancements coming that will make it easier to use. We believe in getting features out quickly and then enhancing them based on feedback. So thanks much for the comments!
In today’s build we made some important back end changes that will enable us to move faster on mobile. The previous client/server architecture was making our efforts very difficult. So we’ve taken some time to re-architect a good portion of the app. That has taken a good amount of time and a lot of refactoring of code. Today’s build, while not different on the outside is a big milestone! We can finally start making the progress we want. Stay tuned!
In the mean time, we’ve also made some recent improvements to the mobile web version of GTDNext. In the past week we’ve moved the folders from the left to the right side of the screen, to avoid issues with trying to press a folder and actually marking a task complete. Or vice versa. We’ve also fixed the annoying issue where every time you try to scroll you would see the keyboard pop up. Yay! Finally we’ve made the top bar with the filters and the panel button scroll with you, so you can always access those commands even when scrolling deep into your outine or next actions. Give it a try!
Please give it a try now, we’ve addressed both of these issues in the latest build. The panel bar now scrolls with you and we’ve moved the folders to the right side of the mobile web app, so it is less likely that you will press the wrong button.
The mobile app is certainly not perfect and not a replacement for native mobile apps, but I think most people will find it very usable.
