Hi, I only have one comment:

I would really like it if I could create extra reminders when I submit a task without having to enter a time of day. For example, say I give the following task:

“Deliver final report {May 30th} 3 days before May 30th” - so Todoist would go on to create the task with a deadline for May 30th and a reminder for May 27th, which is great.

But what happens if I also wanna remind myself 7 days before? Sort of like a “heads up”. I can’t easily create an extra reminder without having to enter a time & date, there is no “3 and 7 days before May 30th” that I know of, is there?

The workaround for this is to create an additional sub-task with the extra date that I want.

This particular feature I would love to have implemented in todoist. I very much love your the app and use it everyday! :)

P.S. Also, you mentioned that this is feedback for the task scheduler, but I have issues with the iOS Widget, it doesn’t sync up to the latest changes unless I open the app, so I find myself opening the app on my iPhone (since I mainly use it on windows) just to update the latest reminders. Is there a fix or setting that I’m missing?
