Google Tasks may finally add this critical time-management feature (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-18 21:26:50

The test version does not allow you to specify a deadline time and does not display the due date in the main list view. Google Tasks has always been a bare-bones tool. For some, that’s part of the appeal, but its stripped-down approach often leaves power users wanting more. The lack of sharing,
