I absolutely love how your video is short and sweet! Concise and on point. Thank you very much!

Regarding reminders for Tasks, reminders work for me in the app but not on desktop in the browser even though I have all browser notifications enabled. I've seen others complain online about this same issue. Any recommendations on how to receive Tasks notifications on desktop?

I use Tasks for all the reasons you mentioned. I tried other To Do apps but the simplicity of Tasks and the interaction with other Google apps (calendar, Gmail) is very useful. And it is free... The only problem is, when you create a task without a due date, it appears beneath all the tasks with a due date; it means at the bottom of your screen or even lower.

Any way to fix the below pain points? I much prefer Reminders, my use case is tasks that can roll daily and I finish them whenever I have time. I manage this all only through GCal. Raise date is not important, nor a specific deadline.

Pain points for tasks:
- Clutters my view as tasks appear on the day I add them and not one list on the current day like Reminders
- Completing a task closes it on the day I raised it, not the day I completed it like Reminders
- Tasks over 30 days overdue essentially disappear, and you have to hunt back for the day you raised them

Is there any way to import Google Tasks into your Apple Calender?

[spandyboy]

Does it shows the progress report that whether I am completing my task or not??

[LennyLacey]

I decided a year or so ago to go to the iPhone and iPad (was android forever) However I still prefer and use my PC, not a Mac. Google Apps make this all seamless.

[nicolawilson]

I use a few Google Calendars (linked to different emails) While I can view all of the appointments by showing them on separate tabs, I only see Tasks from one calendar - can I change this?

[jamesf.jordan]

I literally asked myself about Google Tasks today because it is the best for recording gmail while mobile. Thanks

[denisegarza]

Is it possible to track edit history on this ??

[lopsangdlama]

Why doesn't the reminders send notification or make sound ??

[kdrcvk]

As long as I don't have a search function for tasks at the browser level, I find Google's task function weak. Or does this function exist and I didn't find it.

[Ricky-eznh]

My best advice: Keep it simple and keep the number of lists you have to a minimum.

[InFocus_app]

This is possible solution - especially for individuals with Android

[tilshang]

Is there any way to collaborate on a task?

[jbowley]

I have been searching find out how I can get Tasks to view as you describe in the video. They do not show in the drop down on the right side in Google Calendar. Do I need to download an app for the computer? I'm working on a laptop. Thanks
