Helping people easily create, share, and collaborate on task lists and outlines
Checkvist on iPad (Safari)
iPad has a decent screen size to make Checkvist UI look quite usable. Look but not feel - the power of keyboard shortcuts is lost on the most-wanted-tablet of all times. Apparently, on touch screen devices keyboard shortcuts convenience must be compensated by something else. Gestures support, to begin with.
Today’s update features a step into the desired iPad/iPhone direction, the facilitation of the most often used actions on iPad (Safari browser):
- Close/reopen a task with the right/left swipe.
- Invoke all major actions by tap-n-hold (Edit, Add task and Add subtask are on top).
- Edit with double-tap is an experiment as we can’t decide whether it’s much easier than using the top level item of the Actions menu.
Hope those who had to use a walk-around by using the Hints panel links as action controls, are now happier with some basic gesture support :)
What have we overlooked? What are the nastiest usability problems with Checkvist on iPad? Of course, true dedicated iOS and Android apps would (and will) do much more, but later. Thanks for the patience!
UPDATE: Add a new task by double-tapping beside/below the task list. The new list item will appear under current selection. Thanks @Keithwberry for the suggestion!
