Q: What is Tasks by Telerik?
A: Tasks is one of the most popular to-do (productivity) applications on the Windows 8 and Windows Phone stores.
The purpose of the application is simple - to help you organize your everyday tasks.
With Tasks you can create tasks, projects, categories, use location services, use your contacts, record audio and much much more. On top of that, Tasks allows you to backup your data to the cloud and sync it across devices. This way you'll never lose anything valuable.
Q: Where can I get Tasks?

Tasks for Windows 8/8.1
Q: What is the Tasks Dedicated Cloud Service and why should I choose it?
A: Tasks Cloud Service is our own cloud synchronization solution which allows for full task/category/project synchronization among devices (windows phone 8, windows 8 desktop, windows 8 tablet). This is not the case with the other two providers - Microsoft Exchange and Google Tasks.

A: An activation key is used to unlock all application’s paid features. It is given to customers who provide us with valuable feedback about the application or discover an unknown major issue and that is not related to the purchasing mechanism.
Q: Do I have to purchase different licenses for the Windows Phone and Windows RT/8/8.1 versions of Tasks?
A: Yes, the Windows Phone marketplace and Windows RT/8/8.1 store are different stores, that have no connection between them and both versions of Tasks are entirely different applications, so two licenses are required.
