Undo deleted tasks

It is very easy, as a new user, to accidentally swipe delete a task. Since your engineers placed an undo button in place for a few seconds it would not be very difficult or expensive in terms of programming time, to leave that undo button in place either permanently or for 15 minutes. This would enable a user to undo what is currently a permanent and sometimes a very costly mistake. Please give this serious consideration.

Thanks Alex! Found and successfully tested Recently Deleted in the meny. Worked for deleted Action card, but did not for deleted completed Action card. ---- Alex from Bonobo:
Thanks so much for all your feedback!
You can now restore deleted Actions and Lists by going to "Recently Deleted" in the menu - this will show everything you've deleted in the last 30 days.

I LOVE your app. BUT I have the problem when accidentally checking a slide as done, i dont manage to get it back. This is especially annoying whem there is a slide with many subordinated tasks which get all deleted in this process😐. I once had 15 subordinated tasks - all gone😩
Thanks for minding my request.👍

YES! I asked about a back up for ACTIONS years ago and this was forwarded to the team. It is so easy to delete in error and that is a big issue if your actions has numerous sub-tasks. 15/ 20 reminders gone in an instant! Is a warning message an option.

Patrick: agreed! @Moleskin, please have an option to recover deleted lists and tasks for longer than a few seconds. Minutes at least! That would be great. Thank you!

Is the new “three finger swipe left” to undo in iOS 15 an option for undoing accidentally deleted Actions?

I have been using Actions for over two years as a “To Do” task management system for on the fly task management. I like how easy it is to use.
However, for years users have requested Bonobo/Moleskine to fix the accidentally deleting problem with Actions. This has been a “Feature Request” for ages! But it is not really a “Feature Request” when accidentally deleting is so easy to do in Actions, and there’s no Undo solution?
There are so many ways a user can accidentally delete Action cards.
-Slide to far to the right, and instead of opening, you have deleted.
-Accidentally hitting the backspace,
-or the trash can, especially when there’s a lot of text in a field, and the Action card will be deleted forever. And there’s no confirmation request! So it’s so easy that it happens far too often!
Until the problem is fixed users should not rely on the Actions app anything important. (And isn’t this why you would write something down as an Action, because it’s important?) Because in the present flawed design, Actions can, and will eventually accidentally delete your Action card.
Bonobo/Moleskine could fix this design error by either:
1- requiring a delete confirmation,
2- adding an Undo option,
3-adding a Deleted items trash can where accidentally deleted items can be retrieved.
The Actions app has SO many nice design features! It is just too bad that users cannot rely on it for anything important because of the accidental delete problems.
It would be a very good app if they could fix this design fault.

This just happened to me. I was trying to swipe between lists and I accidentally swiped and deleted a card. By the time I realised, the chance to ‘undo’ was gone. I don’t even know which task I deleted! 😡

I have deleted Reschedule items when I wanted to dismiss them. A backward curved arrow — undo? — had appeared briefly; please make it PERMANENTLY display.
