However, the deal breaker is that the developer included no way to do a full backup and restore. Sync with Google tasks doesn't include complete data. After communicating with Othelle soft, very quick to reply to emails, I was disappointed in their suggestion to me to go use a backup app that required me to root my Android. Developer would not give ETA on backup feature implementation. Data loss is not acceptable in the business world.'''Pros:'''* Best UI of all apps reviewed* Logical and intuitive with useful features* Developer replies promptly to email'''Cons:'''* No Backup Option (huge shortcoming)* No Documentation (just a lame youtube video lacking narration)* Developer replies with less than useful advice'''Recommended Alternative:'''List Master Pro by Code Fusion Mobile Software has an excellent backup feature, including auto creation of backup files as well as manual backup. What is does is nearly identical to ProDo, less the Google Sync. The UI is not as good as ProDo, but ability to back up my data (which I spend hours entering) trumps the UI being not quite as good.== ringer control / silent vibrate versus audible ring tone  ==* https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ktdroid.ringonimportantcallsLite&feature=search_result* https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bim.specialcall&feature=search_result* https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.melwin.ringminder&feature=search_result* https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tostada.android.kondou&feature=search_result* https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tostada.android.kondouEx&feature=more_from_developer== Android Annoyances Troubleshooting and Support ==[[Android Annoyances]]
