Android app no longer allows long press to check off item

It looks like there are a lot of cool new features to the updated RTM, but one feature that was very useful seems to have been removed in the Android app! I used to be able check a task off as "completed" by long pressing the task, which would return a check mark that I can just tap to mark the task complete - now it forces me to open the task and check complete from a second screen. This takes longer and is a bit of a pain. Why was the long press removed? And more importantly, can we get it back?
