We submitted 1.6.1 which is a bug fix update. It includes:

1. Bug fixes: crashes that occurred when adding to-do items and deleting them.

2. Fixed appending to lists - it should consistently work now.

3. Small UI tweaks to help make the behavior easier to understand.  They are details (not a big change on how things are done) but they help.

Also, there is one new feature (Probably not one in the most-waited-for list, but a good one anyway).

I looked at the long list of things to do in Egretlist, and found that it would be nice to share three of them (and maybe get feedback):

1. Always show titles

Egretlist never shows titles for single-item lists because it was designed to help you enter to-dos without regard to what note it is in. The idea is that you press (+), type your to-do, press save, and you are done - not worrying on what Evernote Note it is in.

Some people find this behavior confusing, so we are experimenting with the idea of always showing titles (working hard so that they don’t clutter lists).

2. A way to keep a list around even when it has no tasks left in it.

Egretlist deletes lists locally (not in Evernote) as soon as they have no items left (they are all deleted).  This makes sense in Egretlist because it will only sync notes with to-do items in Evernote, so lists with no to-do items are no longer valid by this rule.

The idea is to have a mechanism to keep the list around even when it has no items left, so that you can keep using a list in the future.

3. A change in nomenclature:

A confusing UI aspect is the term “List”.  Right now Egretlist defines a List as “an Evernote note that has to-do items”.  This is confusing when people also consider their Notebooks, Saved Searches and Categories as their “Lists”, which in turn contain what Egretlist calls “Lists”.  

To fix this, we will change the term “List” to “To-Do Note”.  We originally called it this way, and along the way, we unfortunately changed it.  A “To-Do Note” is an Evernote Note that has 1 or more to-do checkboxes.  By doing this, a category becomes a “List of To-Do Notes”, which is more intuitive and fits better with the Evernote Integration.   

If you have any comments please let us know.  We are working hard to keep improving the app, and your feedback is greatly appreciated.
