Errands is a neat little app that allows you to keep a list of your errand tasks and due dates. What sets this app apart is a simple and uncluttered user-interface that is attractive and quick to use. Those from the GTD philosophy may find it's large, customizable views and use of icons refreshing from other todo lists that only offer checkmarks as the visual aid of choice.
Features:
First of all the app is clean, crisp, and under control. It provides user customizations to it's fonts and color scheme, something a fully fledged task list app, such as OmniFocus or Things, lacks.
Next it provides a simple way to prioritize the errands.
It also provides 44 stock icons and included is the option to use your own photos.
The icons themselves are nicely done.
One feature that tends to add a finishing touch to task list apps is the badge notification, which Errands also has to denote a due date for an errand has arrived.
Recurring errands are also supported.
Flaws:
Despite it's ease of use and streamlined features there are a few minor drawbacks that could be addressed. For starters, you have to tap twice to complete a task. Those of you that are use to quickly checking items off rapidly may find the extra step redundant. The next flaw I find is tht in order to delete an item, you have to tap the edit button, instead of the more intuitive swipe across the screen. If these are the major flaws of the application, it must be really good.
Findings:
Overall, Errands is a thoughtful todo app that may be well suited on any iPhone or iPod touch. If you already have an arsenal of productivity apps it may be cool to have as a focused context for when you're out and about and don't want to wait for your larger lists to clutter your iPhone screen and your mind. Errands is clean and attractive. For a device that is always on the go having this app while running errands could make a task list more fun to use and definitely easier to look at.
