I'm evaluating the Mac and IOS versions of GT. The Mac version seems to handle reminder notifications properly, while the IOS version seems to have notification issues. All devices in my testing are running the latest Apple and GT software. Here is what I found:
Using two Macs, an iPhone, and an iPad, I set up a test task due in a couple minutes. I enabled notifications for both Reminders and GT on all devices.
When the task modification of the due date is done on a Mac:
- On both Macs, notification is proper (both GT and Reminders notifications happen)
- On both IOS devices, only the Reminders notification happens,
When the task modification of the due date is done an IOS device:
- On both Macs, notification is proper (both GT and Reminders notifications happen)
- On the IOS device where the modification was made, notification is proper UNLESS the GT app is running with the screen open (in which case only the Reminders notification happens). In other words, notification will be proper on this device only if a different app is shown running or the device is in sleep mode.
- On the other IOS device where modification was NOT made, only the Reminders notification happens.
BTW, I'm very certain that the Reminders and GT due date/times are properly being synched across all devices. It is only the IOS notification aspect that seems to be iffy. As this notification functionality is critical for my use, I am hoping there is some setting I have overlooked. Please advise. Thanks!
