I am, however, not able to launch v. 1.2.2 because there appears to be a bug that will not allow me to register the demo version.
I have had the iPhone app for several years and have not been thrilled by it, but I thought I would at least try the desktop application to see if it would enhance the use of the iPhone app.
The online sync service is exorbitantly overpriced, and, given how difficult it is even to sync the iPhone app via Appigo's own desktop sync app, I am beginning to wonder if I should abandon Appigo altogether.

I looked on developer's site for further information re: troubleshooting; they suggest submitting a crash log for analysis. Link to page giving instructions on how to do this is broken.
All of these things taken together show a clear pattern that everything about this app is too flawed to trust with my project data, and I have no confidence that it ever will be repaired. It's regrettable, as I have quite a bit of information stored in the iPhone version of the app.
I am not an expert in this, but it appears that the architecture for this app never was native to the Mac OS; it does not have the Mac "look and feel." Yet another reason why I don't expect Appigo will ever get this right, especially when they start trying to integrate cloud/iCloud syncing.
I would be interested in hearing the opinion of others before I ditch this app completely.

It was more than 48 hours before a person responded to the first report. No one has ever contacted me on the second cry for help. Before anyone responded to me I got a generic email from Appigo asking me to write a positive review on Todo. What? I'm asking for help from Appigo, getting no response and you want a positive review?
When I finally did get a response it was poorly written and provided no useful information. It was as if the person did not bother to read either of my emails or the Diagnostic Reports. He wrote, "Dropbox lunched an update and now Todo does not sync to it. They seems to have change the database location." "Dropbox lunched". Really? Was it a buffet or did they serve the food at the table? "They seems to have change the..." Really?
More to the point, I was being told, I think, Dropbox had been updated and the database was in a different location. Dropbox has proven to be solid as a rock and the problem started after an update to Todo. I didn't say Todo was unable to sync, I said the data was not where it was suppose to be and I getting error messages. I wrote back right away, including a screen shot showing that the Todo folder was in Dropbox and that Dropbox was where it has always been. I also noted I have another App that uses Dropbox and it continues to work fine. The problem did not start with any update to Dropbox, it started with an update to Todo. And it happened on two computers. Of course I did not get a response that day. I sent another email the following day, Friday morning but still no second response. Is a person to expect one communication every 48 hours or more? At this rate it could take a month or more to resolve the issue and in the meantime I am afraid to use the App. Good Apps are important but customer support is just about as important no matter how cheap the App.

With determination, I visited the developer's website. Under known issues, they had a fix that you might find helpful. All I did was make the change that was suggested, and so far, everything is working perfectly. The fix involves highlighting the app, selecting Get Info, and checking "Open in 32 bit mode." Voila, all my tasks were visible! I have not yet tried the syncing, so I don't know about that yet. Perhaps the 32 bit mode will correct it all, I hope so anyway.

In addition, I find they want to charge me a monthly fee to have my stuff synced through their cloud system!
So. I can't access the demo app. I can't sync for free. And the only way to purchse this is through the MAS.
Is this some kind of scam?

Mac developers have been doing this with their wares for some fifteen plus years, with great success I might add.
I know you guys are feeling the pinch in sales, because I have many developers confide this to me. (Many, as in over 100)
Take the hint: provide a test drive, before asking us to buy the car.

While I do put a little credence in user comments, at the end of the day their experience is based on their setup/configuration/needs, not mine.

I seldom go to the App Store as I prefer to try before I buy, in this instance I went to the Appigo site via a marketing email I received from them. One would think they would have ensured the demo was available to coincide with their marketing.
Thank you for the heads up that one is now available.
