Go to in-app settings and configure ESS sync: sign in, set encryption key. Refer to ESS help page or ask here if this step is not clear.
Peform a pull or a clean pull to fetch all of your existing data and add it to the iOS device
(optional) Enable auto-sync. You should see sync status changing in real time if enabled. Otherwise, sync can be triggered via pull-down in any item view or with “Sync Once” button in settings.
currently the ios app is a little simple. as described, only inbox is availble. and requires ess sync.
looking forward to other lists like someday/maybe, next and etc.
Correct. A lot of work went into sync integration and other back-end code. Now more UI functionality is being added, as you can see described in my initial post.
Sometimes when an app isn’t prepared for larger screens then it’s very hard to use it.
Common example: most ToDo’s apps on iPhone has a hidden navigation panel, because of screen size. The whole screen is dedicated to the list of tasks and you have to use gestures to bring back a navigation panel.
iPad gives you more screen spaces so the app should look like on the full laptop screen.
Maby it’s not a problem. I am just curious because iPan is my primary work tool at home.
The navigation menu should open as usual by swiping the left edge of the screen or tapping the menu button at the top of the navigation bar.
Every list you navigate to should display all the relevant items.
Note that the item layout itself is incomplete and doesn’t include some important sections such as tags, time/energy icons and so on. That is not a bug yet. The data is there, it’s just not shown to you.
The navigation menu itself is also missing some functionality, such as tag-based navigation and docking / split view on tablets. That will be added soon.
Item creation still saves to Inbox only.
The next priority is making the Item layout to display complete data with tags, clickable links, dates, project references and so on as opposed to the simplified layout we have now.
I have found strange behavior with tags.
Sometimes a tag doesn’t appear in iOS app despite it is visible in a desktop app. I found that if there is set a due date then the tag is visible.
The primary design objective of this editor screen is to reduce the number of taps required for processing of inbox items.
Consequently, it’s now possible to change the list with only one tap without leaving the editor. Setting a start date will automatically change the list to “Scheduled” and assigning a Inbox item to a parent will also make it a “Next” item by default.
Editing tags is possible without leaving the screen with a simple tap to add/remove a tag. Tags are sorted by frequency of use to simplify access.
After updating all my tasks which have late due dates are unstarred. They disappeared from the focus list. The only task which has a due date for today is still there.
