Allowing for arbitrary review
 
A major inconvenience of OF for iPad is that you cannot easily do a review at a more frequent interval than you specify. For example, I reviewed 6 days ago, but decided that today was a good time for this week's review. However, my projects are set to review weekly, so when I switch to the Review view, it says that I have no projects to review. I know I can manually review individual projects, but I want to be able to do a full review whenever I like. It does not seem that I can do this on the iPad, whereas I can on the Mac version.

We've got a feature request open on that, hardcoreUFO; attaching your forum post. Thanks!

If you have a way to remotely trigger the execution of a script, you could use something like this:

[code]
tell application "OmniFocus"
tell default document
set allProjects to a reference to every project
set next review date of allProjects to (current date)
end tell
end tell
[/code]

which will tell OmniFocus that every project is due for review. One way to do the remote triggering of this script is to set up a Mail rule that runs the script when it gets an email from you with some magic string. You would have to leave Mail running, of course. Another approach might be a folder action that ran the script when it noticed you creating a certain file in your Dropbox account. Whatever the triggering mechanism you use, you would wait a minute or more for the script to run and OmniFocus on your Mac to sync the changes, then sync your iPad and start reviewing.
