Feedback on navigating OmniFocus task lists on iOS

The reason that the request isn’t at the top of that list might be that we didn’t think it was necessary to express interest in something Ken Case already have told us that you will implement (Collapsible action group on iOS). In our opinion, we have had this feature – or at least a similar feature – on the Iphone. It is the Ipad that hasn’t had the feature. So this is hopefully just a misunderstanding. I’m looking forward to see the feature return in a new shape during this year, and then also come to the Ipad.

My mistake - I thought this was something people had complained about being removed. Thanks for the correction

iOS did used to have groups which were collapsed. It’s been mentioned in another thread I made. You guys then unified it with the iPad version so that both were expanded.

The point is that being cross platform software, the functionality and expected behaviour should be the same across them all, including iPad, iPhone and mac. It currently is not. So when creating action groups on the Mac, they are collapsible. On iOS they are not. Which leads to having to think of work arounds and other methods of trying to make this work across platforms. You shouldn’t have to do this. It gives the user more work to do. The point of this software is surely that you should not have to think of work arounds, or do more work to make it function correctly.

(And if people want to continuously flag my posts, accuse me of offensive language etc, then I am at a loss regarding the ability to express a perfectly valid, reasonable, ‘unentitled’, civil and polite point. I am taken aback by the number of people who have criticised in a derogatory manner, such a straight forward and fair critique. Really bizarre.)

As I explained in another thread, the iPhone app has always had collapsed groups, while the iPad app has always had expanded groups. Neither platform has had expandable groups, but again, as I’ve already explained, that’s something we’ve always wanted to add and are looking forward to implementing:
