Missed reminders are almost always due to one of the reasons specified in this article:
http://utl.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/49967-reminders-and-alarms-are-not-working-why-
If you are certain that the missed reminder is not due to one of these reasons, then let us know how to reproduce this problem step by step and we will investigate. Make sure to include the due date, due time, and reminder date/time of the task in question.

The 4×3 (and similar widgets) are meant for Android 2.×. Some installations of Android 4+ do not properly render the font sizes and spacing our app specifies when using these widgets.
We have a widget named “Task List (Android 3+)” which is meant for your device. If you install this widget, you will not have any issues with items lining up. In addition, this widget is scrollable and re-sizeable.

Mark a recursive task as done flushs the alarm information on todlledo server.
Mark a recursive task as done flushs the alarm information on todlledo server,so other apps can not retrieve it.
1 voteWe are not currently able to reproduce this issue in our office. Completed tasks are retaining their alarm information when viewed on Toodledo’s web site.
However, if you can provide a specific example of when the problem occurs, then we can investigate further. For a task that has the problem, please provide the due date/time, reminder date/time, and the repeating pattern. Also let us know whether the reminder was specified as a certain number of minutes or hours prior to the due date/time, or whether the reminder was specified as an exact date and time.
Additionally, let us know precisely what you are seeing (or not seeing), when viewing the task from Toodledo’s web site.

This this covered by the following new feature request. Feel free to add your vote here:
When we implement a filter for repeating tasks, then completed repeating tasks could be omitted from the task list.
Another way to reduce the number of daily completed repeating tasks is by editing your settings. In the app’s settings area, there is an option to adjust how long repeating tasks are kept within the app. By setting this to a low value, the number of completed tasks is reduced. When changing this setting, allow a day for the old completed tasks to disappear, since the app only does this removal once per day.

Serious bug in location reminders, drains battery
There exists a serious bug in location reminders. Once a location is defined on a map the GPS will switch on and will never switch off, no matter if the app is running or not. This will drain the battery of the phone dramatically. The only workaround is to delete all locations and reboot the phone.
Please have a look at "location without tears" from the Tasker manual on how to avoid this:
http://tasker.dinglisch.net/userguide/en/loctears.html
Thanks!
3 votesThe app is currently turning on the GPS so that it can provide a reminder when a particular task’s location is reached. The app assumes that the user wants to be reminded even if the app is not running.
We have another feature request open to address the power drain issue by providing an option to use cellular location only. Feel free to add your vote and comments here:

Fix the application such that it works on updated PlayBook OS 2.1.0.1032
As the title suggests - the app doesn't load on the new PlayBook OS. Very very frustrating as had a lot of info in the app.
1 voteIf a reboot does not fix the problem, try uninstalling, rebooting, and then reinstalling. Unfortunately, the Playbook has some bugs in its Android emulator that we are not able to work around. As long as you have been synchronizing with Toodledo or Google, you will not lose any tasks.

Enhance Screenshots: SHOW SUBTASKS! The reason people land here!
The search for apps that understand true subtasks is (I think) a significant reason as to why people come looking at Ultimate To-Do List.
Ya think you might show some in your screenshots?!?
1 voteSubtasks are shown in image #10 here:

They also appear in the screen shots on Google Play.

Bug in Sync
Bug: "Context" and "Goals" don't sync. I'm not sure about "Location" as I haven't tried that yet.
1 voteIf you are synchronizing both devices with a Google account, rather than a Toodledo account, some workarounds are needed due to Google’s lack of support for goals and contexts. UTL will send Goal and Context information to Google, but it is stored within the task’s note field in Google, and is not visible with browsing your tasks from Google. When a task is downloaded from Google containing context or goal information, the app checks to see if the goal or context name exists on the device. If it does, it is linked to the task. Otherwise, the goal or context is ignored.
Your best bet is to re-enter your goals and contexts on the tablet, making sure the names match exactly. The fields will then fill in properly during synchronization. Note that each task with a missing goal or context will need to go through a synchronization in order for…

Fix bug: back out of app
I can't back out of the app. It always takes me to the fields/functions used setting screen. I pretty well only use the starred task view, and I used to be able to enter the app to this view and back out to close the app when finished.

Can you let us know exactly where you saw the incorrect link? If you saw the link in your web browser, you can copy and paste the web address into a response message.
Once we have verified the bad link, we will make corrections.

Sync with google tasks does not work
I have entered my google id, pressed sync, but nothing happened -- taks don't sync in either direction. (I am already linked with my toodledo acct and have no problem syncing with it.) Using: Galaxy S3

sync across devices is not working 100%. The amount if tasks is not the same between my 2 devices.
sync across devices is not working 100%. The amount if tasks is not the same between my 2 devices. Also if I star a task on one device this will not propagate to my other device.
1 voteWhen using multiple devices, it is important to understand that synchronization will take longer than it will with a single device. A new or edited task on your first device will first need to upload to your Toodledo or Google account, and then it will need to download to your second device. The whole process can take as long as 2 hours, depending on your sync setup. The star field will synchronize with both devices as long as the star field is enabled in the app’s settings.
Also, differences in the filter settings between your two devices will affect how many tasks display. You can check the filter settings from any task list by tapping on the filter button at the bottom of the screen.
Try the following test, and, if it fails, we can investigate further. If a problem is found with the app, we will accept this as…

Save Subtask List in My Views
When viewing a list of subtasks for a parent task, I was able to save the view under My Views by pressing the filter button and save. This does not appear to work now.
1 voteHere’s what to do to make a custom view that lists subtasks. When viewing the list of subtasks, press the Menu button on your device and choose the “Save this view” command. Then, enter a name and save the view. You will then be able to access it in the “My Views” area.

GPS doesn't turn off
After enabling locations my phone keeps GPS on and this uses a lot of extra battery.
Maybe it's a bug. If not maybe the feature could be changed to only use GPS locations when the Cell ID location reports that the phone is near the set location.
Tested on a HTC Sensation android phone.3 votesThis is covered by the following new feature request:
http://utl.uservoice.com/forums/149475-new-feature-suggestions/suggestions/2588385
I like your idea of turning on the GPS only if the cellular location fix is close to a location. We will consider this when we implement this enhancement.

Error retrieving information fro server [rpc] when starting free download in app store
I can't pay if I can't get started!
1 voteThis sounds like an issue with the Android Market itself. I would recommend checking your internet connection and/or rebooting your device and downloading again. You could also try checking Google’s help page to see if it provides useful information. Here’s a link:

When finishing a task that is assigned to some "Goal", chain link is not added for that goal.
Maybe adding also a "full support" - show chains for goals in application - would be also great. I mean that chains on this page: http://www.toodledo.com/organize/goals.php (for Pro accounts)
But fixing that bug with not adding chain links would be enough.
3 votesThis issue appears to be on Toodledo’s side. The interface Toodledo provides to apps such as ours does not provide a way to directly update the goal chain. If you are not seeing a new link in the chain after completing a task within UTL, then Toodledo’s server did not update its internal records after the synchronization.
Currently, the only workaround we are aware of is to make sure to mark the task as complete from Toodledo’s web site.
Regarding support for viewing a goal chain within UTL, feel free to submit this in the “New Feature Suggestions” area.

Startup screen setting not working properly
For some reason, the option that allows you to select the startup screen doesn't seem to work properly. I don't know if it's a "feature" or a bug, but everytime i start the app, the screen only displays the last view displayed on exit. The startup screen setting will only be taken into account when I reboot my device.
It would be nice to have a startup screen that really "reset" the view to the desired screen everytime you start the app.
I'm running android 2.3.4 and the last version of Ultimate To-do list
1 voteThis is due a common misunderstanding about how Android handles running apps. When you return to your home screen or switch to another app, Android will keep our app in memory if it has enough system resources to do so. If you then return to the app, the last screen viewed as displayed because the app never actually exited.
Android will shut down the app if it needs to free up resources for another running app. If this occurs, then the startup screen will display when you return to the app.
If you are interested, feel free to submit a new feature request to have the startup screen brought to the front anytime the app is brought to the foreground (even if it is still running). Or, another option would be an on-screen button or command that takes the user directly to the startup screen.

Since you are seeing the icon at the bottom of the screen, I believe the problem is with the settings on your tablet. First, I would recommend checking the “Sound” settings within your tablet’s system settings area. Make sure your notification volume and your alarm volume are both high enough for you to hear the sound.
You may also want to go to the settings area within the app and check the reminder settings. Adjusting the sound that plays with each reminder may also help.
