Google Tasks, the popular to-do list app from Google, is receiving a significant update that brings a fresh and modern look to the interface. The update, which was initially previewed in June, ditches the traditional list format for a more visually appealing card-based layout. This change not only improves the aesthetic appeal but also enhances the overall user experience.
With the new card-based design, each task is represented by a distinct card, offering a more organized and intuitive way to view your tasks. The bottom bar has been eliminated, replaced with a floating action button that provides quick access to create new tasks. Additionally, the three-dot overflow menu, which offers additional options for each task, is now conveniently located next to the sorting options on each card.
The new cards have a slightly darker shade compared to the app’s background, making them stand out more prominently, especially in dark mode. If you’re eager to experience the new design, you can sideload the latest version of the Google Tasks app via APKMirror.
While the update is being rolled out gradually, it is expected to reach all Android users soon. It appears that Google is implementing the update on the server side, eliminating the need for a separate app update from the Google Play Store. You can try force closing and reopening the app to speed up the update process, although this method has not been successful for everyone.
Google Tasks, like many other productivity apps from companies like Apple, simplifies the process of creating tasks, adding details, setting deadlines, and organizing them into lists. The app also seamlessly integrates with other popular Google services such as Gmail and Calendar, providing a comprehensive overview of your schedule and tasks. This integration ensures that your tasks are synchronized across all your devices, including your mobile phone and computer, allowing you to access them anytime and anywhere.
