Easily import Astrid tasks to Any on Android, iOS
The most important feature your to-do list needs is accessibility. A written grocery list you forgot on your kitchen counter doesn't help you much at the store. For this reason, among others, many people use a to-do list manager on their mobile device. But what happens when the app you're using shuts down their service? That's the thought on many users' minds following Yahoo's recent acquisition of Astrid
Fortunately, some of the other to-do list apps are stepping up to help you migrate your data. Such is the case with Any.Do, which released an update today that makes switching to their app supereasy. This feature is available to new and current users.
To get started, you will need to be using the mobile version of Astrid. Then, install a copy of Any.Do on your mobile device. There are both Android and iOS versions.
Once you open the app, you'll be prompted to create an account or log-in with an existing one. Any.Do also offers the option to log in with Facebook if you want to skip past most of the account creation process.
A pop-up will appear that asks if you'd like to import your tasks from Astrid. After clicking Import, the amount of time needed will depend on the amount of tasks that need to be migrated.
Important note: According to Omer Perchik, Any.Do founder and CEO, Astrid and Any.Do implement their task descriptions and subtasks in different manners. For this reason, descriptions of tasks will not migrate from Astrid to Any.Do, and any subtasks in Astrid will appear as new tasks in Any.Do.
If you decided to skip on importing so you could use Any.Do and see if the app fits your needs, the import feature can be found in the Settings menu.
