I need this update bad!
So I read that syncing cannot be wired via usb for any third party apps for the iphone. This means that for this program to succeed, it'd have to be a WebDav sync (like MobileMe).
Lame! Apple is really making things tough for us to get a synced to-do list!

Nope, Apple hasn't given developers the ability to do this yet.
Nope, there's no PC version. I have no experience with PC development, and I hate to admit it, but I don't have much interest in it either.
Yea, I'm kind of bummed Apple hasn't allowed USB sync too. The sync I'm looking at will be over bonjour.
The update should be out soon. I'm polishing a few last details.
This would be a fantastic feature for me! but it would be great if we could have a setting for either things due that day or things due for the next day...
It will.
There will be an option to show today's tasks, a day range, or all active tasks. (Or off, of course.) web option?
Dear Craig,
I love your program!
I have a feature request: estimated time for completion of a task (or subtask) and a timer that allows you to track how many minutes you actually spend on it.
If saw earlier in the thread that you don't have plans for a PC desktop version of iprocrastinate. Is there any hope of a web interface for those of us who are still stuck with a PC? Ideally, it would do three things 1) allow input via full keyboard 2) backup data 3) allow me to link files to tasks. I figure you have your hands full right now, so this probably won't be possible. But that would make this program just about perfect for me!
Thanks again for a great app!

I think I'm missing something. I've created a new subject, then added a task (or thought I did), but the task is not showing up under the subject. Learning curve issue I'm sure.
Just figured it out...thanks!
If you were going to use this for a shopping list would you create a subject called "Groceries" for example. Then add your shopping list under task and put the individual items under notes?
I think your FAQ's will be helpful. I'm not sure I understand what a smart group is for yet, but I just downloaded the app. When you create your FAQ's some examples would be helpful as well. Thanks!

You could really do it any way you wanted. That makes the most sense to me, then you could add a couple different tasks that each represent different trips. (Eg. One trip to the grocery store, one trip to the mall, etc.)
Hey. I love the application, it really keeps me on task. I even set up my schedule for school already even though I am 2 weeks away from the start of school. I just have one SMALL request LOL. i was wondering if you would update the application icon over the next few updates because it doesn't really match with my front page Apple icons. That's my own personal preference. I know there are things more important than the "outward" appearance, but I'm excited to move some apps for this one to be in front 
Yeah right
iProcrastinate, nice name for the app...But I doubt it would help my cousin. He procrastinates like there's no tomorrow...i need something that can zap him awake every time he gets lazy..not that would be something.

This is a good feature idea but I hope it doesn't get implemented. This program strikes a very good balance between ease of use and feature bloat. I hope it doesn't go too feature bloated. You could use the Notes to keep track of time you spend on something.
Ya, no offense to the original poster, but I don't think it will be implemented, at least not in the mobile version. Maybe in the desktop version, but we'll see how things go. I haven't even had a chance to start working on that end of things yet.
I added the quick-complete stuff last night, let me know what you guys think: (My plan is to release the update later tonight, if all goes well.)Attachments

Sounds good, but is it going to have the white look you show in your screenshot, or the nice sleek grey/metal look it currently has? I hope the general look and feel remains the same. It's very sophisticated and fancy at the moment and I enjoy that. Just my opinion though.
The grey look is only for the subjects view. The tasks view has always been white.Sounds good, but is it going to have the white look you show in your screenshot, or the nice sleek grey/metal look it currently has?

hehe Duh. Helps if I pay attention to the screenshot.
(Things I plan on hopefully implementing soon)
- iCal Export
- Recurring Items
- Reminders? Yay/nay?
- Ability to export task list via email
- Checklist ability on tasks (once I find a good way to implement this)
As always, I'm open to suggestions, comments, and questions. Hope you guys continue to enjoy it.
Definitely add reminders, I tend to always forget my tasks. This is one of the key features for which I like using Calendar for school.
So far this apps seems great, and I'm sure that by the end of the summer it would be the best Organizer in the App Store.
But I do have some suggestions:1- I haven't found a way to organize my subjects. They are not on alphabetical order, just in the order they were created. Am I missing something?
2- I tend to prefer cleaner and plainer looks in the iPhone/iPod Touch apps. In the home screen (were subjects appear) you use a gradient for each subject. I think that maybe using only one color (white?) would make it easier on the eyes. I like the black look of the app, but I don't like how the blue letters contrast with it and with the gray gradient.
3- When stating the due date, putting an actual calendar would be much better. The actual way is a little more unpractical. Tho the quick buttons for Next Week or Tomorrow are great.
4- Another layout suggestion: when you enter a subject and are seeing the tasks, the days pending for it to finish are in a bright green tone. I know this is not very important, but using another tone could help in making the color scheme more constant. Using gray or black might be a good idea.
5- Not sure how many users use the "search box". At first I thought it was a way to enter quickly a new task. I think this would be more useful.
6- This might only be useful for school students. When seeing all the subjects you put there how many tasks are for today. And tasks for school normally need to be made at least one day before, so if I ever see that one tasks is due for today there, chances are I won't be able to finish it, but if it says there is a task due tomorrow, at least I might have a chance to do something.
7- One tip for a better functionality: when you click the + sign to add a task, it immediately creates the task and leaves you in the tasks window, and then you need to click the task and add a name, etc. I think that it would be better to first introduce the Task Name (immediately after clicking the +), and then take the user to the following pane were you add the extra information. Also, having the notes box at the top might be useful, as well as the due date.
8- Not sure if is my iPod, but the scrolling is a little unresponsive.
9- When making a smart group, it also adds the already completed tasks. Having an option for ignoring this might be useful.
10- This point is only an idea that you might want to implement someday. A calendar that can show all your tasks and make it possible to add tasks. Like in the Calendar app. It gives you an idea of how busy you'll be certain days and let you get organized beforehand. And if one day you make this work with iCal, then I am sure many would be saying good bye to the Calendar app.
So these were my first impressions. The App is great and has a great potential. I'll make sure to post once you release the update and give you my impressions. I do believe that polishing the layout is very important. Not that the current layout is bad, not at all, but it could use a little to make it look more clean. Some good apps to get ideas from are Contacts and Calendar, they are very easy on the eyes and are logically organized. Notes, in the other hand, is terrible.
I hope this is helpful.
Question
Firstly I am not sure i agree with the person that posted before about the gradient on the Subject page, I think this makes it look very nice (and a bit different), and i find it easier on the eyes that the bright white of the Tasks pages.
But have a question, in Settings there is a ON/OFF switch for:
Link Task/Step Progress
and i can't work out what it does, I already have steps which appear under my Tasks, just not sure what this switch does.
Can someone explain?

If the Link Task/Step Progress switch is "ON", then when you mark a task as completed, all its steps will be marked completed also. And if you mark all the steps as completed, the task itself will be marked completed.
Nice
Really like that feature, another little time saver that makes so much sense.
Can't wait for the new release.
Keep up the good work.

Me too.
I'm using the Application Loader to upload the binary, and if I use the same Bundle ID as version 1.0, it fails the codesigning.
If I use a different Bundle ID, without the weird prefix, then it goes through successfully, but iTunes Connect shows that it's still "Waiting for Upload." (Which, after a bit of googling, means something went wrong. But I have no idea what.)

Still waiting to hear back from Apple. I tried it at least 10 times last night, still didn't go through.any status report?
