Astrid 2.0 Brings Shared Task Lists and Voice Recorder to iPad
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Astrid, a popular online task list, today launched its free app for iPad as well as a new Premium service. Astrid for iPad works as a standalone to-do list and syncs seamlessly with the Astrid App for iPhone and iPod touch and with astrid.com. Astrid Premium adds the ability to save voice recordings and attach files to tasks. Both free and premium accounts provide unlimited list sharing between users on any iOS device.
Users can subscribe to the Astrid Premium service for $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year via In-App Purchase. Those with a subscription can attach files to tasks by emailing task@astrid.com and by dragging and dropping documents and images to the task on astrid.com.
Beyond attaching files, mobile users can record voice notes on the go. Astrid Premium also automatically stores the recording of the user's voice when something is dictated through the app's speech-to-text features. This feature helps remove the frustration users experience when voice transcription isn't quite right. With the audio file available, users can simply speak and go.
Premium subscribers also get a slew of other benefits, including an improved web dashboard with new ways to filter tasks, graphs to track personal or team progress, and charts to help visualize how responsibility is distributed in a shared list.
The Astrid App is available for free from the App Store on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch or at http://www.itunes.com/appstore.
