I had a lot of hope for Taskheat, but it is current unusable. The version 1.8.7 (464) is crashing when just moving between projects and I have had just too many instability issues with this app since I purchased it. When I first tried Taskheat a little over a month ago I found and reported a number of UI bugs and the crashes. Eyen support responded quickly saying that my crashes were likely due a database corruption and that they were investigating but there has been no follow since, but there have been two updates. Instability issues aside, I also have a number of functionality or design issues with Taskheat on the Mac. In terms of task organization, Taskheat arbitrarily organizes tasks if they are not linked to other tasks. The order seems to be the task creation order. Once entered there is no way to prioritize or organize individual unrelated tasks, other than creating artificial link dependencies. If that the design intent, it then makes it more difficult than necessary to re-prioritize independent tasks. In terms of the Flowchart, the user has absolutely no control over the task layout. While the flowchart auto layout is cute, it all too often organizes the tasks in an unintuitive or a very linear way. Adding or manipulating tasks results instantly in a layout update and these constant auto layout changes makes it difficult to visualize and work with your project when you are making edits. The flowchart layout also changes dramatically when Show Completed is toggled on/off. Personally, I'd love the capability to turn off the auto layout and just let the user create the flowchart view they want. I realize that Taskheat is both a mobile and Mac app, and maybe this functionality works better on a mobile device, but I find the functionality as implemented frustrating when trying to work with the app on the Mac.

It's an interesting tool so far but it seems to be missing some features, for example to visualize the lists better: Right now they just all pile up together, not by section or column but by row. I didn't figure out how I can change that order when I create the charts, the arrows tend to move downwards but the lists will use the rows of tasks anyway. Some of those charts in the screenshots look nice but mine don't seem to place themselves differently this way. I would love also being able to have them organized under each section title and 1. 2. 3. so that the order and dependencies aren't missed in the list view.

This is a review of the mac version. I like the concept of this app. However, unless I'm missing something, it seems that this is a bottom-up type flowchart where tasks that are created as "depends" always move to top of the flowchart. I'd prefer a top-down approach where parent tasks are above child (dependent) tasks. An option to switch this (along with arrow directions) would be appreciated. It's worth noting I can actually create a top-down flowchart as it is now, however, if I mark a lower task as complete, then it means the task above it needs to be completed as well which is a dealbreaker. I would also like to be able to drag arrows from one task to another to create relationships instead of having to use the " " button from the Flowchart page. This also means I can't create a new relationship for a task if it is a stand-alone task from the Flowchart page. And, tags... I think it would make sense to default a "depends" task with the tags of the parent task rather than being empty. And it should be possible to change the tag color from the Tags side menu in addition to the toolbar (once the tag is selected). Finally, being able to change the icon of the Project using an icon selector would be good too.

I love Taskheat so much and use it every day to organize my tasks and projects but in the iPad version, the search bar isn’t fitting in the screen. This is issue was present in the last versions and I hopped it will get fixed with an update but it isn’t resolved yet. I think it’s just a small ui bug, but It’s a little bit annoying. I’m still giving this app 5 stars because the concept is out of this world but hopping the issue will get fixed.

I have used a lot of flowcharts in the past so using this program feels intuitive for me. The UI is clean and feels nice to work in. I am a big fan.

Like the program but it crashes way too much.

Excellent concept, no user support and seemingly missing basic mapping / charting functions that would make the app awesome. Namely, the ability to rearrange tasks in flow chart or list view.

Very good for writing down my new ideas and inventions! Wish i was able to drag the 'Task' if I want to chnage the look or layout. Some customization improvements would be good for the Aop

This is a really good app. But like others have said, a tutorial would be nice. After a lot of playing, I have finally have figured out a lot of what I need. But it is still a little buggy. For example, when I open a very large flowchart, I get a blank screen until I change the view magnification. More colours and some formatting options would be really nice. And some way of changing the layout would be appreciated. But overall, a valuable tool for my work. It has become my go to for work flow/mind mapping.

It would have make more sense if the taskes would skync with my calender.
