To make future changes as easy as possible, we\u2019ll be in touch with users shortly to share how to download data.<\/p>\n<p>We are grateful to the more than 4 million of you who have downloaded our apps, to those who have shared Astrid with friends, family and co-workers, and to all who encouraged us with your kind words along the way. You honored us in so many ways, and we won\u2019t forget you.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Yahoo is quickly adjusting its mobile strategy for maximum impact. The recent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webpronews.com\/yahoo-acquires-summly-to-integrate-into-its-own-mobile-offerings-2013-03\">acquisition of Summly<\/a> has already turned into new Yahoo apps <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webpronews.com\/yahoo-puts-summly-to-use-in-new-iphone-app-2013-04\">for iOS<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webpronews.com\/yahoo-launches-its-new-android-app-2013-04\">and Android<\/a>. Competition in the to-do list space isn&#8217;t getting any smaller. Rival Google <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webpronews.com\/google-keep-arrives-in-an-official-capacity-2013-03\">launched Google Keep<\/a> in mid-March. The reviews on Google Play are overwhelmingly positive. Speaking personally, it has quickly become one of my most-used mobile apps. <\/p>\n<p>A good to-do list could fit neatly into Yahoo&#8217;s mobile strategy. <\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=GqyTZBWr-fU:Oag-3CEyAz0:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=GqyTZBWr-fU:Oag-3CEyAz0:wF9xT3WuBAs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=GqyTZBWr-fU:Oag-3CEyAz0:wF9xT3WuBAs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=GqyTZBWr-fU:Oag-3CEyAz0:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=GqyTZBWr-fU:Oag-3CEyAz0:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=GqyTZBWr-fU:Oag-3CEyAz0:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=GqyTZBWr-fU:Oag-3CEyAz0:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=GqyTZBWr-fU:Oag-3CEyAz0:mfZ73u_VV2s\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=GqyTZBWr-fU:Oag-3CEyAz0:mfZ73u_VV2s\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/webpronews\/all\/~4\/GqyTZBWr-fU\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yahoo continues its hiring spree with to-do list application Astrid.
