  • On balance - the Best

    Very user-friendly and amazing functionality, which is continuously enhanced.
    Only (minor) criticism: it seems to be a bit resource heavy. For example, completing a task takes a second two, which seems slightly irritating when several tasks are completed at the same time...
  • Great in the app, but terrible outside it

    GoodTask is a really well featured add on to reminders. It uses the super reliable built in sync of reminders to add a litany of new amazing features.
    Unfortunately once you leave the app it’s virtually useless. The Watch corner complication shows only the number of tasks you need to do (thanks, I’ll pass on extra stress in my life). The notification gives you the option to snooze or complete, and that’s all. And the force touch only gives options for new task, no list specific creation.
    So if you GoodTask is an incredible app that adds all of the missing features on top of reminders, at the cost of every other interaction method.

  • Not happy yet

    I just got the app. I’ve spent 2 hours over two days just entering data and losing it. Can’t figure out how to add a “heading”. I keep being referred to the internet. My Wi-Fi connection isn’t working so there seems to be no help. I am not happy that i can’t also get this on my iPad without paying $20 plus the $10 for the iphone. And i don’t have the mac yet because my computer is in repair. I do not see “help” at the bottom of the page. Or wherever it’s supposed to be. It seems awfully complicated to make a list. I bought it impulsively because i’m add and always looking for new organizational ideas. I’ll keep trying for awhile, but i hope i get help and response from the creators.

  • Reminders made perfect

    For those like me who don’t need an over-complex time consuming planner and preferred to stick with Reminders despite its frustrating limitations then this app is the answer. GoodTask takes Reminders to where it should be - a superb easy to use but very flexible and filterable task list that incorporates Calendar events too. Just what I wanted. If you peek into Apple Reminders (why would you now?) your tasks and new tasks are all there - which also means that if you are sharing Reminders lists with others then they still see them. That is also important to me as others prefer to stick with the simple Reminders app. I would also add that support has been excellent and sounds like this app is improving with each version.

  • A great find. Underrated.

    Why have I bypassed this app for so long?

    I wish I started using it are you long time ago through my quest to find a wonder list replacement. So many other systems I’ve used from the incredibly complex to those that just don’t offer enough.

    I thought this would just be an extension of the native reminders at which it is in essence but because the customisation and the ability to create such great smart this with so many options it turns it into a mini powerhouse of an app.

    Seriously give this a try.

    Some suggestions.

    Folders light wonder list but I know this is a feature many other apps don’t have either.

    Also make the notifications work. I don’t know why but they don’t own any of my apps and I’ve tried everything. But because it sinks with the native app I guess it doesn’t matter because those work instead.

  • An amazing and great task manager...but

    This is clean, simple and complete. It uses the built in reminders for its storage and syncing. This is the one issue. Apple reminders syncs with iCloud. It’s sync is not fast. OmniFocus and Things succeed because they have built their own syncing solution. Today I created a new folder and put some tasks in it, on my iPhone. After 30 minutes these tasks were not on my iPad or iMac. After a few stops and starts the reminders finally propagated.

    So this is not the solution for me, although it looks great, works great but the syncing and storage is the one weakness.

    So the app gets 5 stars because the app is doing everything right. However reminders will change in IOS 12 and people must wait for this app to catch up. So I cannot trust my data to this.

  • YESSS!!!! FINALLY!!!!

    I’ve literally been looking for this since I started trying to find a good task based app for three years!
    Never tried this one, it’s perfect. I finally have tasks, calendar, and to dos in ONE PLACE!!!
    It drives me crazy to fill out calendar events in iOS or google based calendars/apps, write notes and tasks/to do lists in iOS notes, and reminders in iOS reminders! It drives me crazy to not have a simple, central based hub where I can just get an overall look at everything in my day!!! 😡
    This app is IT!!! Thank god!!! Don’t change a thing- it’s perfect!
    -well, maybe not perfect, perfect but, man... Close enough! Thank you!
    I would like the ability to attach pdf’s and URL’s from emails~ whatever, not a make it or break it for me. ORRRR, maybe email too? 😮
    The only real thing I think needs addressed is when adding a task it doesn’t allow you to edit the details right away, you have to give it a name then go find it and add the particulars after, but, like I said a minor thing compared to the overall convenience of this planner.
    Awesome app!

  • Overpriced

    Effective as a ‘to do’ list, but they are a dime a dozen, so not sure why you would want to pay $15 to use this one. Make sure you read the fine print before downloading!
  • Want to purchase, but...

    I’m still doing the 14 day trial on this app, first few days, it worked great, but then every repeated tasks was moved to no due date, so I got no reminders when something was due. I reenter the due dates and times again, it worked for 2 days then back to the same thing.

    I reenter the dates again and this time I checked off repeat after completion, again it worked for 2 days then back again to no due date and now it doesn’t matter if I add a new task, repeated or not with a due date it just puts everything under no due date. What am I doing wrong? I want to purchase this but I don’t have time to keep reenter due dates on tasks, if I did I’d just use reminders.

  • Hard to imagine Apple Reminders without GoodTask

    GoodTask is an amazing app! I simply wouldn’t use the stock Apple Reminders app. GoodTask adds so many features and usability improvements. I highly recommend GoodTask!
