You can swipe down on the list to force synchronization at any time. Each task in the task list will display whether any of the following are specified for it: a priority - The high priority icon (High) or The low priority icon(Low). For Normal priority, no icon is displayed. Also, a reminder The reminder icon, recurrence The reccurence icon, and/or a category The Category icon.
This app supports Bluetooth keyboard navigation and shortcuts; hold down the Command key to display available shortcuts.

  • If you edit the task properties in Outlook Web App 2013 or 2016, such as the subject or priority, any inline attachments will be removed in BlackBerry Tasks.
  • If you edit the task body before the inline attachment is downloaded, the attachment may be removed. Users are warned when editing a task with an inline attachment that the attachment may be removed.
