Any.Do transmits Passwords in plaintext.
==

Some of you may be interested to know that the Task Management and TODO-list Application, Any.Do, happily transmits 
your password and just about everything else in plaintext.

They were even so kind to include a README.md documenting exactly this "feature":

Login
-----

* Right now, the only form encoding call done to the server is the login process.
* Only POST is supported.
* The parameter *_spring_security_remember_me* should always be specified.
* Password is not encoded/encrypted in the request.

Endpoint: /state-manager/j_spring_security_check

POST parameters:

    {
            j_username: <email>,
            j_password: <password>,
            _spring_security_remember_me: "on"
    }

Just to verify this is actually happening I made use of wireshark:
