Here are the steps to create a recurring (repeating) task.

  1. Click the "Add" () button to enter the Create Task screen.
  2. In the Create Task screen, enter the subject. You can also select the icon if you want.

  4. Scroll to the "Recurrence" section and tap the space below the "Recurrence" line to open the Recurrence Pattern Edit screen.
  5. In the Recurrence Pattern Edit screen, select “Monthly” in the Recurrence Pattern, and then select "first', "Monday".
  6. Then, tap the "Save" button on the top right corner. It will go back to the Create Task screen.
  7. Done.
  8. In the task list view, click the checkbox on the left to complete the task. Once the current task is marked as completed, the next recurring tasks will be created automatically (For this case, it's due on 2 Dec).
