Hi Everyone,

Today we would like to open the new 4.0 beta to everyone. The new app should work perfectly for most of you but if you find any bugs please let us know. We have a small number of bugs we would like to fix before the official release but they should only affect a small number of people.

We are still finishing up our mobile apps so for the time being you can use the new mobile apps through the web browser on your mobile device by going to https://app.getitdoneapp.com/app/

You can also use your old mobile app if you go into the settings of the mobile app and change your “Sync Settings” to “Online only”

To use the new beta head on over to https://app.getitdoneapp.com/app/ and log in with your existing email/password

We would love to hear your feedback, just click the ‘Contact Us’ link at the top of the page in the new app to let us know what you think!

Important Message for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch Users who are using Get It Done App but NOT using the web site at getitdoneapp.com

There is a serious bug in the new Apple iOS 5.1 update. If you are using our web site at getitdoneapp.com everything will be OK because we back up your data for you.

If you are NOT using getitdoneapp.com and you are just using the app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch then there is a change that can result in your data being deleted on the device after upgrading to iOS 5.1.

Again this is not an issue if you can log into your account at getitdoneapp.com and see your tasks

There is a way to work around this issue BEFORE you upgrade.

We are hard at work at realeasing our 4th major release of Get It Done. Here are some of our goals for this release.

Bring all desktop/web features to the mobile apps

We want you to be able to work seamlessly between the desktop and your mobile device. We are working to bring ‘People’, ‘Scheduled’, ‘Evernote’ and more to the mobile apps. Basically, if you can do it on the desktop we want you to be able to do it on you mobile device.

Clean up the user interface to make it look good across all computers and devices

We have found that our current color scheme looks great on some computers and devices and on others it looks really bad. Using green is very difficult across different screens. We have chosen to go with a more neutral color scheme so that it looks consistant across any device. We also wanted to get rid of all the unnecessary noise that creeped its way into our current app so we removed or moved anything that was not necessary.

Speed up app

On our initial tests we have found the new app is 200%-300% faster! We can’t wait to get this out to you all.

Faster/Easier filing of tasks

We want to make it even easier and faster to go through your Inbox and file your tasks in to the proper project and folder. We are working hard on getting this just right.

Flawless syncing

When Get It Done first came out we only had to worry about the iPhone, now there are thousands of devices that use Get It Done. We have updated our syncing to be rock sold and faster no matter what device you are on.

Offline Access

With this new version you will be able to access all of your information even if you are not connected to the internet.

So when can you get it?

We should be feature complete and have a beta in a few weeks. If you are adventurous and would like to test a pre release version of the app then let us know! Once the beta is out then we can give you access. For everyone else we are looking to release in about a month.

To be on our beta list email us here

Here is a sneak peak of our current look of the app, the released version might not be exactly like this but you can get an idea of where we are going with this:

Ok, time for us to get back to work. If you have any comments feel free to leave them below.
