Just want to say I agree -- changing to a "what to include" method
instead of "what to exclude" would be a big improvement.

The ideal option would be to allow users to specify criteria for
things like priority, due date, and list name, and also whether the
criteria should be treated as AND or OR (e.g., task should meet all or
any of the criterion).

For example:
include tasks where priority = medium or higher, OR where due date =
Today or earlier

or,
include tasks where list name = "work", AND where due date = tomorrow
or earlier


Gotta say, I generally love the app. I've been using it since version
1 and it's definitely getting better with each upgrade. Started out
using it with Toodledo, but now use the Appigo Sync function. Would
really love it if you could figure out how to sync to iCal via
MobileMe instead, though, so I could have instant sync when away from
my Mac.

Thanks for the very useful app!
