Tasks - Create Live Activities 4+

Pretty much what I’ve been looking to do for ages!

I’ve been trying to find a way to add reminders quickly and prominently to my Lock Screen but nothing seemed to do it. I finally found this app and was sceptical because of the one negative review and at first while I was trying to get it working, it didn’t appear in my Lock Screen so I thought it was a dud but after I deleted it and reinstalled it again due to the demo task amount lock that made it impossible to trial without purchasing, it came up with an iOS question about whether I wanted it to allow time sensitive notifications. After I said yes it was finally working and I saw the potential of this app so I purchased it for a relatively cheap one off price.

It’s very basic though and only really lets you customise the colour scheme of the notification window background and the text to different colours (I use a dark mode style scheme) and then a bold / strike through system for the text to mark tasks complete, but it works. It could probably do with a few more features like icons and images to customise your tasks if possible though and especially stuff like the ability to edit a task without having to delete all tasks at once (annoying if you add a fourth task and misspell it so have to wipe them all and start over) but I presume that might be due to how it works by using the live notification system which is also probably why it has a 12 hour countdown limit to keep in the notifications centre (I like how you can hide that though).

Still it does exactly what I’ve been looking to do for a while now so it’s well worth the small one off payment for me especially since it’s also able to put a task in the Dynamic Island, something I’ve wanted to do for ages now which I thought would have been easy enough for an app to do but not many apps seem to do it and if they do then they definitely don’t do it well or as simply as this app does.
