Setup your Google mail address and password from the iPhone Settings application > domo Todo > Settings item before starting synchronization. You can also setup the name of the synchronizing calendar. Default name is "domo Todo".

3.2. Synchronization

Tapping the date area of domo Todo+ navigation bar starts synchronization. The first synchronization may take a while.

3.3. Data that can be synchronized

You can synchronize the tile of Todo items, due date, tag, memo and completed status. The application won't synchronize Todos with no due date. Star and Soon status also won't be synchronized.

You will see a check mark (✔) next to the event name on Google calendar when synchronizing completed Todo.

Tags are irregularly corresponds to the Where field of calendar events. A semicolon ";" indicates multiple tags.　

3.4. Repetition event

You can setup various repetition values on Google calendar. Each repetition event corresponds to an individual event in domo Todo. This helps you setup detailed repetitions settings which domo Todo+ doesn't support.

3.5. How to complete a task from Google calendar

Editing an event's name in Google calendar completes the task. When you synchronize domo Todo with your Google calendar, add a word "(done)" or "(DONE)" in the beginning of the event name of Google calendar. This allows the application to read the event as completed task and the check mark (✔) will appear on the application instead of  the word "done".

3.6. Alert settings

You can receive alerts using Google calendar's alert function. Detailed explanations about alert settings are discussed on the AppBank site. Please refer to the site for more information.
