With Twoodo you can create tasksrnand calendar entries, have private and team chats, and much more. You can syncrnyour Twoodo and Google Calendars to make this tool even more powerful. One wordrnof warning: Twoodo doesn’t play well with Android 6.0 at the moment. I wasrnunable to get the app running on Marshmallow. If you’re using Lollipop, on thernother hand, it runs like a champ.
