thats not the kind of bug we like to be fixed.
if you read from the beginning of this post, my annoyance with having to tap the screen so many times to add a task is well documented.

NO, i don't have a pro account. I thought this feature used to work, did you take it away? This is another time i've regretted upgrading the app then.
You should fix the normal process then if you're not going to give out the up-to-the-ear feature.

I know i've seen this work in the past, but right now it's not working. when i put it up to my ear the screen gets dark but no recording and no vibrate. I've tried turning off the setting, running the app, turning it back on, and running the app to no avail.

I thought they added this feature to the app? I just went in now and it didn't work. but in the settings it has an option for "eyes-free recording."
reqall - any comment?
btw the way this should work is if you put it up to your ear it immediately begins recording a message.

Hmm. 2/3 finger taps means you can't do it with one hand, but i like the idea that i could customize it. You could make it whatever want by default but if i could customize it then i would have no problem. So, if you could get rid of that 5 second countdown that would be great. Maybe the two finger tap could be used to discard it or to bring up the options. also when i'm done adding a task i'd like to go back to the list to view my tasks. i often only want to add one task

is there any way i can revert back to the old version?

You're welcome, thanks for replying.
Pleeeeeeeze put some kind of fix in there as soon as possible so i dont have to dread adding tasks, it makes me a lot less likely to use it.
Thanks,
Chris

wow, thanks for the quick reply. I am a UI programmer so I do appreciate what you were trying to do. Couldn't this all still be achieved by a hybrid of the two methods?
On the front screen you could have 2 plus signs, one on the lop left, one on the top right (for example, though probably not my first choice as far as appearance).

Once it's hit, it begins recording immediately. You could then detect a few seconds of silence (like google does in it's app). You could even do the thing that google does where you put it up to your ear and it begins recording, and stops when you take it away. Or if you need to, i like the tap anywhere in the screen idea. Or allow all three for flexibility.

You could also change the autosave to 2 seconds, or 1 second, or make that time configurable (That would make it a million times better).

With this plan you could bring it back to 6 seconds, reduce it to 0 clicks, and you could even keep the features of "no-eyes recording" and you could even keep the quick-add thing in there instead of going back to the screen. (or you could make that an option in settings). You could also make it an option in settings where it first opens to (last opened screen, new voice task, etc.) I don't generally think user settings are not the way to go though, it should just work seamlessly and efficiently for 90% of your users.

I really rely on your app, so thanks!

Thanks,
Chris
