Actions is more than a To-Do list. It is a task manager. And it is EXCELLENT! Not only can tasks (or “actions”) be assigned to project lists, but you can also them to a “context”. The context can be a location or something else. And, as you would expect in a quality app of this type, start dates and due dates for each action can me set. Basically you get a lot of the power of a project management system without the confusing complexity.
Actions also adds a goal of creating a “chain” by linking each day in which you complete a task. This graphical reminder, along with the numerical icon indicator of due tasks, really helps with the procrastination issue. Not only does this $9.99 app make it to my Must Have category, but it also gets moved to my main screen.
My recommendations are few. I’d love the ability to trigger an action context based on GPS location or wi-fi connection. Ability to prioritize actions and link an action to a contact would be nice additions as well. Finally, it would be nice to be able to sync the actions to a desktop and/or online version. But don’t let the “could be better” suggestions distract from the fact that it is a wonderful and fully functional app right now. I’m just excited about where this app may head in future versions.
