In an effort to provide an ultra minimalist interface they’ve decided to skip loads of features and leave things simple, perhaps too simple for most. There is, however, functionality with Gmail to create tasks using emails that seems pretty good. There’s no reminders for a start (a remedial requirement for any task management app) plus there’s no way to add tasks from Google Assistant, sync with Google Calendar or share lists, add other people etc. Well, it’s literally as basic a to-do list as they come. So with so many competitors including some of their own apps, you’d expect Google Tasks to differentiate itself from the pack and offer something essential right? Seriously we have note taking apps such as Evernote, Onenote and Google Keep with this feature, the default notes app that came with your phone, loads of calander apps and dozens of specialized task apps like Todoist, Any.do, Wunderlist, Tick Tick and Habitica. Google released a new app to compete in the task management space, a market that is highly saturated as it is. IOS users can expect Touch to come to iPhones in the near future, Opera’s website lists it as coming soon. It’s worth downloading both and taking the time to try them out, especially if you’re rocking a phone wirth a 5.5 inch screen or higher. It will ultimately work best for users who use Opera on desktop as well. Touch looks different to a lot of other browsers out there which is nice. Users with really large phones should see a big improvement for one handed use, smaller devices not so much.

It’s easy to use and the design has been well though out, Opera have been expeimenting with UI a lot in recent years and it shows. Overall Opera Touch is quite an impressive browser. There’s a feature called Flow that saves all the pages that have been shared between devices so they can be browsed through or stored for a later date.

History, passwords etc are synced between devices and tabs can be pushed from one device to another. It’s set up for immediate web search, the keyboard is activated when Touch opens for faster searching.Ĭommonly used web pages can be accessed with the Fast Action Button, a scroll wheel that pops up near the bottom of the screen for thumb navigation, works well and looks pretty slick, although visually it won’t please everyone.Īs expected of a mobile browser, there’s synchronisation between Touch and the desktop Opera browser. It features a UI that’s been designed for one hand operation. Opera have launched their 3rd browser for Android called Touch.
