# Redesigns phone task rows

## The problem

> "…tapping a task should open a bottom sheet."

- Skip sat a thumb-width from the check.
- One slip skipped the task.

## What we considered

### A. Row as built

![A](https://updates.poolcloud.com/media/poolcloud/phone-task-rows/52A.png)
- Baseline.

### B. Row is check

![B](https://updates.poolcloud.com/media/poolcloud/phone-task-rows/52B.png)
- Skip stays nearby.

### C. Swipe to skip

- Hidden gesture.

### D. Hold for skip

![D](https://updates.poolcloud.com/media/poolcloud/phone-task-rows/52D.png)
- Also hidden.

### E. Two zones per row

- Skip in footer.

### F. Skip asks twice

![F](https://updates.poolcloud.com/media/poolcloud/phone-task-rows/52F.png)
- Still on row.

### G. Sheet with strip {chosen}

- One-tap check stays.

### H. Big check first

![H](https://updates.poolcloud.com/media/poolcloud/phone-task-rows/52H.png)
- Taller sheet.

### I. Full-screen photo viewer {chosen}

![I](https://updates.poolcloud.com/media/poolcloud/phone-task-rows/52I.png)
- Shared by albums.

### J. Skip reason page {chosen}

![J](https://updates.poolcloud.com/media/poolcloud/phone-task-rows/52J.png)
- Two taps minimum.

### K. Camera-first photo task

![K](https://updates.poolcloud.com/media/poolcloud/phone-task-rows/52K.png)
- Fast; rigid.

## What we went with

- Rows show the check and photo count, no Skip.
- Tapping the words opens photos and actions.
- Skipping asks for a reason.

One tap still completes a task. Skipping takes two taps and a reason.
