Google Tasks Incredible is a gesture-based to-do list that’s like Clear for Android [Video App Reviews]

Pros: Simple UI that's quick to master, syncs to-do list with Google Tasks
Cons: No ability to create new group task lists within app (coming later this week)
A few months ago, a to-do list app known as Clear made iPhone fanboys drool because of its interface that was based entirely on minimalistic beauty and gestures. There was no clumsy button navigation or overly-complicated input method. You typed to add a task, dragged to signify priority, and swiped to mark a task complete. It was beautiful, ridiculously simple, and exactly what a lot of people want in a to do list app.
There’s no Clear To Do List Android app, but there is an app awfully reminiscent of it. Google Tasks Incredible holds the same values of swipes, shallow movements, and an in-and-out purpose. The Android 2.1+ app is all about quickly adding and completing tasks with as little interference as possible.
Google Tasks Incredible is a Google Tasks client, so a Gmail account is linked to the app for online sync. Adding a new task is as easy as pressing a plus button and typing. Within 3 seconds or less, that item is synched and available online or on other devices. There’s no need to add tags because Google Tasks already creates separate lists; however, you’ll have to create new list groups online because GTI only lets users switch between existing lists. (UPDATE: List creation should arrive in the next update.)
Other trappings – some might say features – found in most to do list managers are also taken away from GTI. To prioritize a list, users hold down and then drag it into the desired position. Swiping the item left deletes it from the list, and swiping right adds it to the completed list. Shaking the device will then remove all completed tasks.
Much like AnyDo, GTI thrives on simplicity. There are less options for the more complex and feature-rich apps like Astrid, TaskOs, etc., but this is clearly not the app for people who need extra organization and note options. GTI is geared for people who want a to do list manager that requires only the most basic interaction, and does so in a fluid manner. The app is available for free in Google Play, and a paid $0.99 version offers the option to change color themes.

![QwikList adds list creation with voice to Android [App Reviews]](http://862525175.r.cdn77.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/qwiklist-4.png)
Thanks for the review. Really appreciate it. More functionality coming soon for the app.
doesn’t work. won’t sync with my gmail account so pretty worthless.
and I paid for it which really, really sucks. can’t get my money back. don’t make my mistake. if you are thinking of trying this stinker, try the free version first.
Bart,
Issue is fixed now!
Any.Do is much better IMO, I tried both but GTI is nothing compared to Any.Do… the later has much much sleeker UI with two themes ( dark and light ) and very nice design and font is used… fast and very responsive, sync works very well.. and it has widgets too !!
+ This app looks like a clone to an iOS app named ( Clear )
Widgets coming, etc. etc.
we’re still waiting… so far any.do is really much better… sorry I’m an android fan, but gti has nothing to do against any.do……. still waiting 4 widgets and more improvements… hurry up plz !!
There IS a clear clone in the market
Koalcats die clear!

Is this Google Product ?
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
I sympathetic your article.Your article is like a big tree, so that we can squat in your tree, feel yourself a real. I feel very moved, very weal.
