What users experience

1 excerpt from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

When I delete a task for the day, which is set to be a daily recurring task, it doesn't keep that setting continuously, so I have to hunt for it in the deleted tasks section, or enter it again. Then I end up with a huge amount of the same task.
