We have options to set recurrence for every weekday, every day, every week, every month, every year, etc.

We also have the option to customize the recurrence. You can have a task repeating every ‘x’ days/weeks/months/years.

    Allow to set custom spaced recurrence for example: first after 2 days, then 10 days, then 30 days.... It helps for students for revision...

    Google Calendar/Business Calendar Android App have the option to select to make recurrence based on Due Date or Completion Date, it is a good solution.

    Agreed! Please incorporate "repeat every 2nd Tuesday of the month" functionality.

    I'd like to see customizable repeat dates. I'm working on repeating things, but never at the same day or time. Today I want to be able to make a task recur on today, today+5, today +13, today+ 26, today+98.

    A small date picker calandar that lets you tick every day that it should return without it being limited to a repeating pattern

    Allow recurring event to reoccur immediately after completion. This is for a process where the elements of the process is consistent and the next process only start when the previous process ends, but the timing is inconsistent.

  • Michael Kaiser commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Some tasks re-occur irregularly. For example, "Go to Dry Cleaners." I would like to mark it as done because it feels good to check it off as done. However, I have to immediately create a new reminder to pick up my dry cleaning. A feature "Mark Complete and forward to new date" would be ideal.

    Repeating specific days is really needed. I have a task I have to do on Tuesdays and Thursdays for instance and there is no way to set that up.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    More repeating options please. I’ve seen other task managers that offer things like:
    -repeat every first Saturday of the month
    -repeat the 1st day of the month for June, July, August
    -repeat one week after todo is complete

  • Shreesha Muthyala commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    If the earliest recurring task is not done it doesn't show the next one. It should show and notify us for the next one too.

    If I have a weekly reoccurring task, when I complete this week, next week's task in the Suggestions should have next week's due date, not last week's.

    I agree with Charles K.:
    "I've actually gotten to the point of confidence in To Do where I have migrated MOST of my tasks from Outllook. However, you really do need to offer the same options for recurring tasks that Outlook has (as others have mentioned): n days or weeks after last completion, every nth Friday (or other day) of the month, etc. Thanks!"

    There is a similar suggestion at https://todo.uservoice.com/forums/597175-feature-suggestions/suggestions/20122687-due-again-repeat-after-completion

    with 1959 votes making a total of 5700 votes, which is higher than many suggestions you are working on so please start working on this ASAP. Many more people using this feature in Outlook will start using this app across all devices.

    PLEASE PUT THIS IN iOS in 1st implementation.

    include the option to recur x days/weeks/months after the LAST COMPLETION DATE - no matter when that is (if I didn't finish my task on the due date, but maybe two or three days later).

  • Cerys Hyde commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This is the only thing I feel is really disappointingly missing. I need to schedule tasks to repeat like "the second Tuesday each month" or even "the third Friday, every three months".
