It would be nice if the refresh thing wasn't necessary.

Agree with Jason on the refresh. In practice, this almost makes it unusable. I know that I can keep disciplined enough to do it, but I can't say the same for my employees. They might have finished a task, and even checked it off in Google Tasks, but if they don't sync it doesn't work. Why can't some sort of autosync be enabled to run every 5 minutes or so? is this a bandwith issue?

This is perfect. 

Pefect feature ..but you are really right in your critisism

We really need to have a Auto sync feature

... the way to have full confidence in the task list, is no room for simple errors like forgetting to push sync. Learn from Apple and cut workflows down to a absolute minimum push of buttons

But really nice to see some development action on Manymoon ... keep up the good work :-)

Hi! When I add an task at Manymoon, in Google Taks appear a date one day before I set up at Manymoon. What's the problem?

We have a free MM through a Google Apps account, but I'm not getting this option in my settings.  Is this only available to paid accounts?  We are planning on upgrading, but I'm trying everything I can out first to be sure this is the right solution for us. 

One more thing.  If you do need a paid account to have this work, what level is required?

Hi, I have problems with the sync from manymoon to the goggle task, I can't see the tasks I have in manymoom in my google apps account.

What we can do about it?

Regards

Me again, the thing is I can't sync my old task I have in manymoon with my google apps account, I don't have problems with the new ones ... any advice?

Thanks

I also have a problem with the "sync link". I have turned it off and on in Manymoon, logged off, restarted the browser - no link.

Started another browser, still there is no "sync link" in Manymoon.

However the tasks from Manymoon were synched to Google Tasks (I actually ended up with double tasks, as mentioned above)

* Does the Customer Service have any idea? 

PS.

I would like to take the opportunity to say that Manymoon is brilliant. 

We use it within our members of the board (in our neighbourhood community) to keep track of common activities to perform and upcoming events, and it's perfect. 

Some users would like to have it in our native language (Swedish) beside that, we love it.

I must quote Morten  - Keep up the good work !

Just wanted to inform you that the Sync link is now visible and works very well.

Thanks for the quick support response, very professional.

Thanks a lot ... I have a problem with the dates, when a I do task in manymoon change the date in one day, example, if i put 26/05/2011, in my google calendar shows in the 27/05/2011 , any advise?

Regards

Aldo

Thanks a lot for you super fast answer !!!!

Is Ok, :)

this could be a really great feature.

if you can auto sync to google tasks, i can use gtasks to sync to my android, and at last manymoon would be just what i need.

please get an auto-sync up and running asap.

also noticed, i was logged into my wife's gmail when signed into manymoon on my google apps account. when i clicked sync, it sync'd the tasks from my wife's google tasks, not mine... - potentially bad bug here?

 I have a small problem with the Google Tasks sync: if I mark a task as "completed" in Google Calendar (or Tasks), it gets deleted from Manymoon - is this supposed to happen?

Keep up the good work!

I change Dates from Tasks with no due dates in Manymoon. In Google all changed tasks dont have a due dates. I try to refresh the Google Tasks list, and I try "sync my Google Tasks". Dont work. What can i do next?

Ah when i try "sync my Google Tasks", all due Dates in Manymoon deleted.

Hi, it would be interesting to sync with multiple List or automagically Manymoon could create a task list in google for each project =).

thanks for this great app.

Only a few tasks from ManyMoon are syncing with my Google acct even after pressing sync.

That's perfect !

We really need to have a Auto sync feature

I think the link to Google Tasks is a great feature.  Unfortunately, I'm finding that Manymoon is syncing all tasks on all projects I'm working on (330 tasks and counting).   It does not seem to be filtering for the tasks that I'm assigned to.   If I look at the same list in Manymoon, my tasks number 35.  Is there a way to sync only those tasks I'm responsible for?

David,

I spot checked a number of tasks.  None are currently assigned to me.  I suspect that the problem was me being assigned to the tasks originally.  A month or two ago I cleaned up my Manymoon Task lists.  I'm a heavy user and delegate tasks to our teams very frequently.  Early on, I allowed myself to be teamed with the person I delegated the task to - this way I could see when something was being completed.  Problems arose when we plugged all of our projects and teams on Manymoons.  A Task list with hundreds of tasks becomes unmanageable - Time to Delegate !  I did this and now my Manymoon list is down to 35 or so - very manageable.  Problem is Google appears to still be syncing the original tasks making that list unmanageable.  I've included a couple of screen shots for this.  We're looking forward to the IPhone App - this will solve a lot of problems.  In the meantime, I'm hoping to use Google Sync to manage my life on the fly.  Let me know if you want more detail - screenshots attached (see SCE G04).

Is auto-sync up and running yet?

I agree with Ignasio, and would love to have MM create a separate task list in google for each project using each project as a Google Task List name. Not all of my tasks are specific enough for me to know what customer it is for (i.e. I don't title my tasks "Customer A: XYZ Product: "Did we receive the samples from customer yet?").

As always, I love Manymoon-- just a suggestion! ;)

It wouldn't be technically impractical if it was using something like RSS.

Is there a set or even estimated time frame for when the automatic sync would be available.  I just recently changed over to google apps for the collaboration available through manymoon, but without auto sync, I do agree it almost makes it not worth the effort and I might have to see what other apps over this capabiltity.  

Is there auto sync in the non-free versions?  Is there a way to sync multiple list from gmail as opposed to just the default in any of the paid versions?  

When I attempted to use the Sync to Google Tasks feature, it indeed synced ALL of the tasks assigned to me, (including Deferred, and Deleted ones, which I wasn't interested in Syncing) however it seems to have also taken the 'Deferred' tasks in MM and made them back into 'Open' tasks, all by itself.

I repeated the experiment, by deleting all the tasks in the Google Tasks Default list, and once again changing all of the tasks in MM I wish to be Deferred, back in to 'Deferred', and followed instructions above to select "Me" and "Open" (as I had inadvertently left it selected as ALL TASKS the first time).  THIS time, after Syncing, Google Tasks was populated with the correct tasks (Me, Open) but ALSO still the deleted ones (that I can't find listed anywhere on MM).  

Biggest problem was when I looked back in MM, after this Sync, I found that all of the 'Deferred' tasks had completely disappeared!  They are no longer on ANY of the lists: All Tasks, Deferred, Completed, I checked all of them.  (Fortunately I'm a brand new MM user, thus these Deferred Tasks were actually from a Template, so no lost data, however this could have been disastrous for someone who already relies on this system for details on projects.)

I will refrain from using Sync to Google Tasks for the moment, however thought you may want to be aware of this bug.

I just realized that the reason the Deferred Tasks were likely deleted from MM, is because I deleted them on Google Tasks before the 2nd Sync.  I didn't think this would be an issue, as I was not asking it (the 2nd time) to Sync 'All Tasks', but rather only the 'Open' ones.  This still seems glitchy, as if someone inadvertently (as I did) Syncs 'All Tasks', there is no way to get them off of the Google Tasks list, without affecting MM.

I will add these Template tasks back in, defer them, and try again to see how it goes.  

Ok, third try, with Template tasks added again and then marked as 'Deferred'.

Selected 'Me' and 'Open' and once Sync was complete, the Deferred tasks WERE synced to Google Tasks, and in MM they were no longer marked as 'Deferred'.  Seems to be a definite bug.

Hope this all helps you to recreate and narrow it down.

Hi, so my Google tasks were syncing for a while, but then just quit.  I tried changing the setting to allow tasks to sync, hoping that somehow "resetting" the sync option would get it back in gear.  Unfortunately, I can no longer choose the option to sync my Google tasks.  Please advise.  Thanks!!

I've been following the Google Tasks/Manymoon sync discussions and I think things are moving in the right direction.  When I first used sync, Google Tasks imported any task that I had ever created into my task list (hundreds of tasks).  I posted my concerns on this on 6/20/11.  Since then I have not been able to whittle my list down in Google  - even though my Manymoon list includes 10 to 20 tasks.  Is there a way to easily clear the Google Task list so that I can start the sync over?  I've only been able to delete these one at a time, and I'm guessing it would take me 3-5 hours to clear my Google list.

David - just to elaborate on your last "WARNING: Deleting tasks from the Google task list to "clean it up" can delete them from Manymoon as well."  I thought I would be able to navigate around this by handing off a task on my list in Manymoon, then marking it as complete in Google Tasks and Syncing.  Here's wht I did:

1. Created a shared task for myself and another member of my team.
2. Sync'd my task lists so the item was showing up in both Google Tasks and Manymoon.
3. Completed my portion of the work, so I handed this off to my partner and removed myself from the Task in Manyoon.
4. Marked as complete in Google Tasks 
5. Re-sync'd my task list
6. Cursed out-loud when I discovered that Manymoon had completely deleted the task (it didn't leave it alone since I was no longer on the task as I had hoped, nor did it simply mark the task complete - it completely erased it).

David -  A quick follow up.  It now appears to me that if I create a task and don't immediately make an assignment to someone on our teams, this task is permanently linked to me.  Here's what I've been doing:

1. Create a new task in Manymoon without immediately designating who this is assigned to.
2. Edit the task immediately and make someone else responsible for the task.
3. Do not sync my Google Tasks and Manymoon tasks while I'm making the readjustment of task ownership.

David,

Aside from the bug - tasks remain on your Google Task list once they've been handed off - I think the other fix needed is not to simply "delete" the tasks.  We archive our completed tasks in case questions come up later - "hey, I've handed off a task to you with a whole lot of support documentation and thread of all important communication - please don't delete this!"   We mark tasks complete, then place them in a Milestone called "Archive - Completed Tasks".  Linking MM tasks to Google tasks is a great feature that reinforces it's strength as fully integrated with Google Docs.  However, if important conversations disappear because my teammate marks them complete on his Google Task list, this is a weakness.  Any hope completed tasks can be simply marked as "complete" in Manymoon?

David,

Having the task disappear from your task list in Google is important for those of us who manage and direct project related info.  In Manymoon, tasks can be shared, and you can chose whether one person can complete a task.  If you share the task with someone and they mark it complete, the communications and documentation attached remains intact.  I'm hoping your team will find a way for tasks marked complete in Google Tasks to simply be marked complete in Manymoon.  I think only creators of tasks should be allowed to delete them, and that this should only be done in Manymoon.  My two cents.

David,

Just hit the Google Task landmine.  Here's what I did:

1.  Created a new project using a standard Template we have - this imported about fifty standard project tasks.
2. Opened the new project and noticed that I had been assigned ownership all tasks, by default.  I'm not sure if I sync'd my Google Tasks at this point, or if my Google Task list updated automatically.  Anyway, my Google Task list suddenly had sixty tasks I'm not working on.
3. I reassigned the tasks in Manymoon to a generic user "Unassigned Tasks" and took myself off the task.
4. I then went into Google Docs and check the box next to each of these sixty tasks, then under actions I chose "clear completed tasks"
5. A while later, after adding some misc. tasks in Manymoon, I clicked "sync my Google Tasks"
6. I went back to the new project I created, one I had handed off to a teammate.  Voila - the sixty tasks that had been imported had been deleted along with all connected documentation.

A quick comment to support the Android app release asap. That is the preferred solution to using the Google/Manymoon apps sync, per this thread discussion, as a viable work around with its inherent limitations.

Regarding the manual sync issue: would it be more "technically practical" to have the sync occur whenever the task list is refreshed (definitely more user friendly)?

This way the service doesn't have to run constantly (i.e. for offline users) but we'll be able to see our most up-to-date lists whenever we navigate to the list or refresh the page -- much more natural and common content-refreshing activities than finding and clicking a link.

Completing a task in Google, clearing completed in Google (NOT deleting), then syncing with Manymoon (both sides) does not maintain the task in Manymoon as a completed task as indicated at the end of the instructions.
