We’re still talking about applications that will be back to normal, and if Opera’s web browser has received its first major update in months, Google Tasks is more … “recurring” if I can. The question is Do you use Google Tasks?

Or, in other words, are you using a productivity app to keep things tidy? Because in such a case, it is very likely that it is a calendar or a to-do list, and if both, greater versatility and options. Of the calendars, Google is one of the best, its only black spot – apart from privacy concerns – was the weakness of Google Tasks.

That’s why when Google Tasks was revived a few years ago, the hopes of many of the Internet giant’s productivity suite that they would have the same level of product as others remained on the edge. But it was in vain. Google Tasks has been revived, yes, and an independent mobile app has ratified it, but over time, it felt like “Is it all?”

Don’t get me wrong, Microsoft has even bought a service that already works, such as Wunderlist, to create its current Microsoft ToDo, which is a task manager. In the meantime, Google Tasks has been embarrassing not only because of how little it compares to the competition, but compared to Google’s own products with which he lives and integrates.

However, Google Tasks seems to have regained some strength in the last few years, first by reformulating its Android application and more recently by adding virtually basic features to its category – a category of applications, ie task managers, not sorted by quality – as advanced recurring tasks. Best of all, it wasn’t a mirage.

Another novelty that awaits Google Tasks is again something as basic a priori in the task application, such as the ability star the most important tasks as recommended tasks for faster access. The news was announced a few days ago and will be extended to all Google Tasks users, including web and mobile apps, this week and next.

It’s a small thing, it’s true, but it’s also a sign that they’re actively working to improve Google Tasks. Although I’m not a Google Tasks user, I feel identified with what Johanna Romero writes in Chrome Unboxed, and it’s so that the simple fact that the service receives updates, even if they’re as insignificant as this, arouses one’s interest in following in its footsteps. .

Of course, I also agree with Romero in anticipation of the obvious and it is a separate application from Google Tasks for PC, which has been needed for many years. It seems incredible that it would be so difficult for a megacorporation like Google to do something similar (yes, there are extensions and other inventions, but … maybe we’ll talk about them another time).
