Hello all,
I am brand new to these boards, so I apologize if my plea for help is misplaced and/or to wordy...I thank you for your patience and any help you can offer.
I just purchased my first smartphone (a Samsung Galaxy S) because my old phone (non-"smart", purchased in 2007) *finally* began to literally fall apart (dropping buttons and whatnot). It is/was with some trepidation that I enter the smartphone culture because I am a Palm lover....I received my first Palm Pilot as a gift in 2001, and a series of no-internet-connection Palms (most recently the Palm Zire 22) helped me stay sane through undergrad, grad school, and the first few years of teaching as a college professor. I always said that I would wait until my cell carrier picked up Palm phones (like the Treo, Centro, etc) to merge my cell and PDA, but I apparently missed the boat on that, as Palm no longer makes smartphones. So now I am learning to like the android platform, and trying my best to find apps that mimic my beloved Palm functions.
I mostly use/used my Palm for the "Calendar" and "Tasks" functions. I feel very fortunate to have found (thanks to these boards) "DejaOffice" for my calendar/scheduler (LOVE LOVE LOVE the ability to colorcode and repeat items, just like on my Palm!), but I am having some serious trouble finding an android app to replace the Palm "Task" function. I have scoured the boards and google and have come up empty handed, hence my post.
I am looking for a task/to-do-list app that allows me to:
1) label tasks with due dates (that can be modified if need be)
2) label tasks with numeric priorities (at least 1-5, IDEALLY 1-10)
3) place tasks in categories (labelled with words, not colors)
It seems to me that these requests would be pretty simple, but I am finding that popular apps like Astrid, Jorte, and even DejaOffice's DejaTasks do not allow one to label tasks with numeric priorities, which is imperative for me and my neuroses.
Any app suggestions are VERY appreciated. Thanks very much!
