Takes up a lot of memory

wakela says:
Is this becuase the tasks are stored on the internal memory rather than the SD card? I've been using RTM heavily for a few years, and this sucked up a major chunk of memory. An option to store tasks on the SD card would be nice.

yea, that makes no sense to store data on the internal memory vs the SD card. Oversight on the developers part?

The tasks data is stored in a database, and database locations are managed by the Android OS -- unfortunately we don't have any control over where the OS places databases. :(

We've done a bunch of work to make everything take as little space as possible (for instance, we compress notes in the database). By default, we're also only transferring completed tasks going a month back (you can change that option in Settings > Sync in the app) to reduce the amount of data.

Hopefully the Android OS might have some more flexibility in the future with regards to external storage of data.
