Hi,
Thank you for your feedback!
Q:1. The character font is way too big for my taste, even with my screen resolution, any way to reduce it and make it as small as in the Web app?
A: We will improve it. I am sorry that there is no option for you to change it.
Q:2. If i choose a specific context (Work for example), there's no Project list under that context like in Web app?
A: Do you mean that you want to see the projects under the specific context?
Q:3, Where's the Today golden star?
A: We have removed it. You can drag the task to Today box. Do you want to be back?
Q:4, Tasks under a context aren't sorted by Priority like before?
A: Do you point to the specific context view? It is not sorted by Priority. Every Group has its order logic according to the box name.
Shall you need any help or have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me back.
Thank you for your support! Happy New Year. : )
Best regards,
Doit.im Team

With all these flaws i don't think it's much better than the isolated Web App so I think i will move back for the time being. Thank you for your consideration.

* Do you mean that you want to see the projects under the specific context?
=> Yes, like in the Web App, if you choose Work context in the sidebar on the left then in the main windows you will have :
- Today tasks -
- Next tasks -
- Tomorrow tasks -
- Projects list (that relates to the Work context) -
- Scheduled tasks -
* About the golden star for today list yes we all want it back
* About sorting order of tasks (in any list), I think besides of "Group by" button you should add another button called "Sorting" with Alphabetically / Starting time / Priority order, so everyone can auto sort tasks as they see fit (in my case I mainly use priority sorting).

I agree with most or all this, but I would like to point out a few things:
Re #2. Contexts: Some people (and it seems @LongNguyen) use context as a Personal/Professional differentiator (a grouping of work related areas of responsibility versus private areas of responsibility), whereas others (me and others) use it in the more classic sense to differentiate main requirements for being able to do the task, e.g. that I need to be @Out or with @Person etc. I am not sure that in the long term both of these needs are best met with one single feature. (We have discussed this in other threads, though.)
Re #3. Star: Yes we "all" want a star - but not the old star back; we want a new normal star (like in all other apps) that does not corrupt the tasks in any way, just makes them clearly visible in their list and also makes them visible in the special view called Today. Anything that is scheduled for today or tomorrow or in the past should still "live" in Scheduled and just be starred for visibility. And Next actions and S/M action and W/F actions and future Scheduled actions should be "starrable" too without thereby being moved or changed in any way. Nothing at all should ever "live" in Today.
Re. #4. Sorting: Yes the new sorting is very complicated and "secretive/random" (based on all kinds of invisible and unknown factors). It seems most of us liked a simple and reliable priority based sorting, at least as a default. Although of course the old sorting could be improved with manual adjustments (and possible further sorting criteria), it is important that the old simplicity of use is regained. (This has been proposed elsewhere. New tasks, created on or moved to the list, can be initially placed immediately before the first existing task that has the same priority color, and from there on be manually adjustable. This would be simple and automatic and consistent, and still have the new power of manual sorting.)
On minor thing in Windows: I would like to see the selected left menu item in a different color as an explanation to what you are seeing in the main pane. The web app has this.
