OmniFocus 2.0.3 makes improvements to syncing and notifications, as well as fixing several crashes.

• Background Sync When Activated From a Suspended State — OmniFocus once again responds to background fetch requests after being suspended (for example due to low memory).
• Sync When Returning to Foreground — When appropriate, OmniFocus once again syncs when returning to the foreground.
• Sync in Nearby Perspective — Sync changes can now be incorporated while the Nearby perspective is open.
• Background Sync — Changed our use of the iOS Data Protection API to avoid blocking background sync.
• Location-based Notifications — Notifications for unavailable or completed items no longer appear anyway.
• Reminders Calendar — When Calendar Alarms are turned on in settings, the OmniFocus Reminders calendar is once again updated with every sync.
• Hang on Launch — Fixed a hang with the spinning progress wheel appearing on launch.
• Crash — Fixed a crash when dragging action groups between parents.
• Crash — Fixed a crash more common on older devices related to tapping controls while something else is already in progress.
• Hang — Fixed a hang related to publishing OmniFocus’ due items calendar.
• Crash — Fixed a crash on launch.

OmniFocus 2.0.2 For iPad fixes several problems present in version 2.0:

• Background Syncing — OmniFocus no longer informs the user that “The Internet connection appears to be offline” when launching after failed background sync.
• Crash Pressing Return — The app no longer crashes when pressing the return key with a non-English keyboard.
• Crash From Lock Screen — OmniFocus no longer crashes when launching from a lock screen notification.
• Edit Mode — The contextual menu no longer blocks items from being dragged and re-ordered.
• Audio Recording — Recordings are no longer lost if the app is backgrounded during a recording.
• Interface — The dimming effect for inactive elements (including the sidebar) is less severe.
• Localizations — Updated several localizations for completeness and accuracy.
• Many Smaller Issues — Including crashes.

Our deepest apologies, everyone! Our OmniFocus 2.0 submission was unintentionally marked as a test build, which meant it stopped working on Friday, September 26 (displaying the message “This OmniFocus prerelease has expired"). This update removes that test flag so that the app will never expire.

This is the initial release of OmniFocus for iPad 2. The app has been completely redesigned:

• New Design — Completely new design for iOS 8.
• Pro Upgrade — Pro features (custom perspectives and sidebar customizations) are now available as an In-App Purchase—which is free for customers who upgrade from v1. (Thank you for your support!)
• Perspectives — Save and revisit custom views for specific tasks or situations: “Show me the chores I can do in five minutes” or “What do I need to follow up on with the people from the planning meeting?”. OmniFocus for iPad now supports Perspectives that use project hierarchy in addition to those that don’t.
• Customizable sidebar — Show just want you want, in the order you want it
• Today Extension — See OmniFocus items due today right in Notification Center
• Sharing Extension — The new Sharing Extension makes it easier than ever to add new items from other apps.
• Interactive Notifications — Alerts for nearby and due items let you mark complete (or snooze) without even opening the app
• Duration — Edit and view estimated duration for actions
• Improved Search — See results from the current view or your entire OmniFocus database
• Background Sync — OmniFocus syncs in the background so changes you make on other devices are ready when you are
• 64-bit — OmniFocus is now optimized for A8 and 64-bit for blazing fast performance.
