OmniFocus for iOS 2.0.1

September 27, 2014

Our deepest apologies, everyone! Our OmniFocus 2.0 submission was unintentionally marked as a test build, which meant it stopped working on Friday, September 26 (displaying the message “This OmniFocus prerelease has expired"). This update removes that test flag so that the app will never expire.
