It wasn't the technology that made auto-playing video/animations bad. Just because you can now do it with native html rather than flash doesn't make it ok.

The auto-playing video on this site is Flash, though ... ?

I... installed it, came to the prompt about importing your contacts, decided that I didn't want to do that, found that I could not continue setting up the app without doing so, deleted the app.

Same exact comment. Definitely not giving them access to my contacts.

I rather pay for an app than spam my contacts.

How is it free? Are there ads? Is the project a portfolio-demo for an agency? Are they hoping to get bought out by Apple/Google, and then replace the app with a knock-off version discombobulated by the whims VPs and PMs? Ah, the price is giving the devs a copy of my address book. To sell? rent? analyze?

17 person team! That's a lot of payroll.

It's using a video tag for me; sounds like it fell back to Flash for your browser.

I really like Any.do but if you download it and sync it across the web via the Chrome extension, don't be surprised when a bunch of random tasks show up on your manager.

I emailed them about it and they said tasks are added as part of the tutorial and that it's intended functionality. I thought that was kind of weird.

Indeed. Surely they must have more than one project in parallel.
