Nice design, but some missing pieces...

Im constantly on the hunt for better todo apps. Nozbe caught my eye and after installing the app on my Mac and signing up for a free online account, here are some conclusions:

THE GOOD
- Very clean looking, sleek design. One of the best Ive seen.
- Extremely fast and responsive.
- Easily drag-and-drop tasks to reorder them. (However, see the missing drag-and-drop features in "Bad" section below.)
- Very helpful and intuitive buttons on right side of task page that shows at a glance which features have been assigned to that task already and which ones are still available. Excellent design!
- Certain details can be added inline directly while typing in a new task... # makes a drop-down list appear with choices for date, context, etc. Makes entering tasks much faster.

THE BAD
- Very disappointed to see that this app has NO keyboard shortcuts... not even the industry standard Cmd-N to create a new task! It forces you to use the mouse for everything. Mac users will find this very sluggish and unpleasant!
- NO user-defineable preferences whatsoever in this app!
- Cannot change the first day of the week from Monday to Sunday. This really throws you off when looking at the drop-down monthly calendars!
- No task priorities can be set.
- You can set a time "duration" for tasks, but sadly you cannot set a "due time" for a task. This is a huge missing piece because so many daily tasks have to be started at a certain time or completed by a certain time.
- Cannot create any alerts for tasks. Again, this is a deal killer for me. I need to set tasks with alarms that will pop up and remind me of certain things that I have to do at specific times. "Call client at 3:00 PM," for instance.
- Repeating/recurring tasks can be set, but only basic patterns. You cannot create "1st Tuesday of every month" recurring tasks, for example. Thats too bad, and this is another deal-killer for me, because tasks in the real world dont always happen neatly every week, every day, etc.
- Tasks with dates automatically move from the Inbox to Next Actions when their due dates arrives, which is perfect. But I cant figure out why those tasks are also left in the Inbox. You end up with 2 copies of each task... one in Next Actions and one in the Inbox. Its confusing.
- While the Mac app is really beautifully designed (one of the best Ive seen), the online interface has a 1980s feel to it, especially the calendar and other items on the right-hand side. Mac users will cringe when seeing that page, because it is clearly designed like an outdated Windows interface. Ugh!!
- One of the good features I mentioned above was the ability to drag-and-drop tasks. However, this apps drag-and-drop capabilities fall FAR short of the drag-and-drop capabilities of Nozbes online interface. When signed into your online account, you can drag a task to a Context, into a different Project, to a specific date on the calendar, or even to a more general area on the calendar like This Week or Next Week. Sadly, you cant do any of that in this app. Too bad, because the online version of Nozbe is far too ugly for me to use every day.

Hopefully these missing features will be added soon. Ill keep my eye on future updates, but until then, I simply cant make this my #1 task management app... there are just too many critical missing pieces.
