Description: Errands is a task manager with a pleasing design and is easy to learn and use. Crafted with a blend of basic and advanced features: Folders, Checklists, Task Images, Scheduling & Repeating, Alerts (alarms), Automatic Badge Updating, Calendar View, Mail Tasks, Multiple View Modes, Search and more!

KEY BENEFITS AND FEATURES

The overall user interface is tastefully designed with careful attention to detail and functionality.

Alert notifications (alarms) for tasks with due times, plus automatic updating of the app icon badge. Works even when Errands is not running (iOS 4 only). The alerts can be set on a per-task basis.

Full support for folders, so you can organize your tasks to best suit your needs (for example, Work, Home, Errands). You can have as many folders as you wish and folder attributes (name, icon, checkbox) are fully customizable.

A monthly calendar view for tasks with due dates. To access it, tap on the calendar icon on the bottom toolbar. The calendar displays items based on the current folder you are in. To see all tasks, choose the calendar from the All Tasks folder.

View options allows you to switch between normal view (4 tasks per screen) and condensed view (8 tasks per screen).

Mail tasks (single tasks as well as entire folders).

You can select from a built-in collection of image icons, choose a photo from your library, or take a new photo to customize your tasks.

A unique feature allows notes to be viewed as a checklist. This is particularly handy for small shopping lists, multi-step tasks, etc.

Tasks can be scheduled with a due date / time. There is a full range of repeating options.

A convenient Recycle Bin allows you to easily create new tasks from previously completed entries. This is a big time-saver given that many tasks are things that are done again (and again). And saving data-bits from the virtual landfill makes you feel good!

Tasks can be sorted by various schemes as well as arranged manually.

Each task has a title along with separate detail and notes fields.

Customize Errands to fit your tastes using the in-app Settings.

Multitasking / Fast App Switching (iOS 4 only).

ABOUT THE PREMIUM UPGRADE

Errands is NOT a lite version or crippled in any way. It is the complete app! If you enjoy it, please consider purchasing the Premium Upgrade. There are two main benefits of purchasing Errands. The first is to help me to continue development, adding new features and fine-tuning existing ones. The second is the Early Access Feature program, which gives purchasers access to some features before they are made available to the general public in the free version. In the current release, the Early Access Feature is a Passcode Lock interface designed to keep your data protected from spying eyes. Thanks for your support!
