How Do I Create A List?

To create a list, from the “Lists” page, tap the Edit button. Here you can create either a list with or without dates. If you create a dated list, all tasks will be sorted under due dates. If you create a non-dated list, tasks will not be associated with dates.

Once you tap on “Add Lists”, you will be prompted to create a list title. You can also turn on the badge number indicator. This will add the list into the badge counter on the home screen icon. Once you’re done, tap the “Lists” back button. Tap the Done button on the “Lists” screen.

How do I create a task?

Tap the list you want to create tasks in. This will bring you to the task view page. From here, hit the + button on the bottom left of the screen. A modal view will pop up. You can edit the title, due date, notes and action of the task from here. To change each attribute, tap on the table cell of each. For the title, and notes, you can use the keyboard. For the date, you can change it using the UIDatePicker, and for the action, you will be greeted with the Address Book. Once you’re done, hit the save button.

How Do I Manage Tasks?

Completing a Task
There are two ways to complete a task. First, select a task by taping on it, then hit the check mark in the bottom toolbar. You know the item is complete when the check mark is green instead of gray. Secondly, you can swipe across the task cell on the screen. Again, the task check should turn green. If you’ve associated an action with your task, here is where you will be prompted to do the action.

Edit, Mail and Remove A Task
Tap on the task you want to interact with (the item should have a blue background), and tap the star icon on the bottom right of the screen. A popup menu will appear from the toolbar. From here, you can edit, mail or remove the task you have selected by tapping each individual button.

Remove Multiple Tasks
If you’ve completed a bunch of tasks, and want to get rid of them all at once, you can tap the trash icon in the bottom right corner to remove all the complete tasks. If you don’t have any tasks complete, tapping the trash icon will instead prompt you to remove all the tasks.

What else can I do in To-Do Lists?

Most everything else you can do in To-Do Lists is from the Settings section. To get to the Settings, tap the the Settings button in the upper right corner of the “Lists” page. Here you can: sync your lists with our servers, email your lists as backup, change the home badge settings and change the theme.

Sync
From here, you can sync your lists with Tapku’s servers. Enter your email, and password into their respective fields. If you’ve never synced with our servers, the email and password will automatically be registered. Once you’ve successfully register, the email and password will also be saved on the device as well. Once successfully register, you can set the application to auto-sync weekly with our servers. If you’ve registered with Tapku servers, but forgot your password, you can have your password sent to your email.

Email
Here you can email a backup of all your lists to any email address you’d like.

Home Icon
Here is where you can change the settings of the indicator on the home screen. You can select and deselect lists here and choose to turn the badge indicator on or off.

Theme
You can choose which theme the tasks view appears as.
