User Reviews

TaskMator is a capable TaskPaper client with faithful TaskPaper support and solid cross-device syncing, plus a clean, distraction-free text interface and useful tagging. However, multiple reviews flag serious reliability problems: data loss or sync failures, frequent crashes, and fragile gestures. Cloud integrations like Dropbox/Files are inconsistent, and the mobile UI can feel non-intuitive or cumbersome in practice. Despite these drawbacks, many users rely on it for their TaskPaper workflow and appreciate ongoing development from the author.

Pros

Faithful TaskPaper support (reads and writes TaskPaper files)
Cross-device syncing with iCloud/Dropbox/Files (cloud access across devices)
Clean, distraction-free plain-text interface suitable for tasks and outlines
Powerful organization features (tagging, filtering, drag-and-drop reordering, nesting)
Active development and ongoing support from the developer

Cons

Data loss or unreliable syncing (iCloud/Files) leading to missing or wiped data
Frequent crashes and stability issues (crashes on launch, endless loops)
Fragile gestures and drag-and-drop interactions (unintended moves, unreliable swipes)
Cloud integration problems (Dropbox/Files issues; some feel integrations are abandoned)
UI/UX friction on mobile (too many taps to add items; interface feels non-intuitive)

Still a problem - and fatal for me. Using the scroll bar feature works well and can quickly move from top to bottom of a file be sliding your finger tip from top to bottom of the edge of the screen. But the normal method of scrolling up or down on an iPhone remains how Steve Jobs demonstrated it in 2007. Flicking up and down the screen. 14 years of muscle and brain memory is really hard to stop using. And this is Taskmator's failure. I regularly see some random bit of text flying up the screen to a new location without doing a "tap and hold" to select the text I want to move somewhere rose. The problem with the super speed of dragging to the top of the document after just starting to drag seems to have been fixed. So the inadvertent move does seem constrained to be modestly local to the starting location. When I do use tap and hold it seems to have a significant delay before popping the text up to move. This is good and I wonder how flicking can get past this delay. Perhaps if tap and hold to move is set to only work when the text is STATIONARY. Just thinking. I will not give up on Mac TaskPaper as it is one of the most creative apps ever introduced. I use it every day and a lot. Thank you to Jesse Grosjean. Just duplicate TaskPaper on IOS and you can have a real winner.

The direct Dropbox integration doesn't work at all -- maybe it was abandoned when the Files app integration got added? Or so it would seem. Sadly, the Files app integration is quite bad; syncing doesn't seem to happen. Also (maybe related?) there's some weird lagginess if you turn off Apple Reminders integration. This app might be okay if you're only working with local files on your iPad, but if you want to store your Taskpaper files in the cloud. Essentially, this seems like abandonware. Stay away.

I’m frustrated by frequent crashes and menu options not working. Edit: where do I find version 3.9994? The last iOS version 5.46 is 3 months old. Edit 2: tried contacting the developer but received no revert ☹️
