Need: 'To Do' App w/Specific Qualities

Check out the toodledo service online and the "got to do" app. Their may be a tiny subscription fee to sync to mobile, but it's a great service and the app is great to. It can be complex enough for Getting Things Done or simple task lists if that's all you want.
And Toodledo is a separate account and password from google. Good luck!

 

I think I remember reading several months ago that Astrid would sync to a free RTM account (to use the RTM Android app, you need a paid account). I just checked the Astrid page and apparently the most recent Astrid version won't do this (I didn't quite grasp the reasons, legal issues of some sort). But an older and less advanced version seems to be available, and they mentioned another sync service too (in addition to Google). Might be worth checking out.

 

I use GTasks by Dato. It allows you to pick which Google account to sync with. One option for your scenario is to create a new Google account and use that to store tasks in. That way the tasks are available on his Android phone and you can assess them via the web. GTasks has a free Android client.

 

Toodledo online is free and got to do is $5 but there is also a got to do lite. Don't know if it will meet your needs but it's worth a look.

My thoughts are with you - trying to stay to employed by a guy who can afford a personal assistant but won't pay $25/year for a service to make it easier for him to tell you what he wants you to do.

Good luck and welcome to the forums.
