One of the apps that I use on a daily basis is Remember The Milk. I love the service, and enjoy the fact that it works on multiple platforms and even allows me to do things like email items to add onto my list. That said, the Remember The Milk (RTM) app that was previously available for Android had a few shortcomings — namely in that I could not set the app to launch with a specific list. That and, the widget was pretty limited.
But like what happens in time with all good apps, Remember The Milk for Android was recently updated, and this update corrected both of my main complaints. This update brings the app up to version 1.1.0.
In terms of the new features, RTM users can now customize the widget. Of which there are now two widget sizes available. Users can also choose a start screen of their preference.
There was another change, but this one may not be visible to all. The Quick Search Box for Android has been given RTM support. To enable this feature you will need to go to Settings > Search > Searchable items, then once there just check “Remember The Milk.” Of course, this one is limited to those running Android OS 1.6 or later.
And finally, RTM was given support for multiple devices with different screen resolutions. Which basically means that the Motorola Droid and HTC Tattoo are officially supported.

RTM is a great service, but their PRO accounts are entirely too expensive just to get the right and ability to use their little official application. I do use RTM, but even the free service is way more than I can ever use. I have absolutely no reason to upgrade. So, in essence, just to get that application, I would be paying $25 for the PRO account for the sole reason of getting that programs … thus making that app $25. Worth it? Hardly. Thanks but no thanks.

I would have to say this is a pretty slick app and well worth the $25. I came over from a blackberry, and was using ToDoMatrix by RexWireless and IdeaMatrix, both which cost $60. Granted, RTM doesn't have quite the same functionality, but it's the only application that comes close. I'd gladly pay $25 to enter and edit my tasks and plan my day online versus on the phone.

Astrid does a great job, is free, and syncs with RTM.

$25 a year to support a great company and great people is not a lot. RTM is extremely powerful, fully enabling you to utilize as much or as little of the "Getting Things Done" philosophy as you wish. I am happy to pay for apps I love, especially when they are produced by small companies like RTM! If you want innovation, you have to back the little people!

I'm with you, Krell. ~$2/mo. for a fantastic app without which my work life is unmanageable.

I had a good laugh when RTM decided to start charging $25 per year for the mere privilege of synchronization (which Astrid does for free). Chutzpah!

Dude it's only $25 per YEAR. How cheap are you. If you are not getting that much total value from RTM then stop using it.
