Simple is great (if you need simple)

Tasks has been really helpful in managing my daily life and the random things I just have to get done in a week. it’s replaced by weekly ‘To Do’ checklist I always make in notion. I really like how simple it is and have things separated with my custom tags is really the reason’ve kept with it. One small note is I love how far you can go without premium. I forget that they even offer a paid version at times which is amazing for the day to day user experience. If you’re looking for something super basic but still a small step up from basic to-do list tasks is perfect. My only dream feature request at the moment is the option to have each task wrapped in a small box with rounded corners for some visual representation. (closer to the design in Jira) as I find them a little bit harder to seperate at times (it would also look super clean) otherwise great and useful product.

Useful but for two things.

I have been using this app to replace my earlier Kanban app, and I do like its functionality better. It does pretty much what I want it to do except for two issues.

1. I cannot resize the columns. I have to have the kanban open to the full length of my project sections. The columns do not dynamically resize when grabbing from the app corner to resize the whole thing.

2. Please update this to allow images to be posted in the comments. I work alongside Wrike when I use my kanban, and having screenshots to provide me exact examples of things I'm waiting on or working on or mistakes to correct would be a godsend.

Missing feature

I was surprised to find a todo list that lets you schedule a time and date but is not synced to the calendar.
If it was synced with calendar, it would be much easier to arrange in order of when the tasks get done or if not done, to re-schedule. Otherwise, it would be a great app

Doesn't sync

Task titles sync but dates do not from my handheld to the desktop or back????

Nice app

It would be useful if tags could be available to copy from one project to another. Instead of manually entering new ones. Other than that quite happy with the app so far.

Great Layout - Syncing is a real issue

Love the layout of this app but it syncs badly between iPad and iPhone. Times and days for tasks dont sync at all. Notes and items sync mostly. So if you need to use it cross platform it isnt a good choice. But for one device its a great looking program and well laid out

Regret

I very much regret having purchased this app as nothing works as it should and constantly crashes.

Previously almost perfect

I’ve left ratings for this app in the past because it was just so good and so close to being perfect.

Latest update though has definitely brought the features and experience down a few levels.

Since the update I’m getting lots of problems managing tasks, task statuses and wettest of all - syncing.

Losing faith in accuracy off my tasks by the time I pick them up on computer during the day having added them in faith in the morning.

Will monitor for a few more days then have to ditch if I’d it continues to let me down.

Really, really excellent

As a team lead for Front End Software Development and an aspiring stand-up comedian, I juggle an array of tasks on a regular basis. With the Tasks app, managing these varying responsibilities has never been smoother.

The Kanban-style layout is a game-changer, providing a clear and concise visualization of my work in different stages. This not only assists me in staying on top of my assignments but also facilitates a seamless transition from one task to next. I also appreciate the synchronicity across my Apple devices - from my mac to my iPhone. It enables me to keep track of my tasks on the go, which is a must-have feature for my busy lifestyle.

Beyond the practical and efficient design, I love the user-friendly interface of the Tasks app. The developers have done a fine job making sure that the app isn’t only functional but also enjoyable to use - kudos to them for the thoughtful design elements, and the clean, intuitive user interface.

In short, if you're seeking a potent task management tool that blends into your MacOS and iOS ecosystem seamlessly, look no further than the Tasks app. It stands as an exceptional tool in the task management realm - an essential for anyone aiming to boost productivity and streamline their to-do lists. Five stars all the way!

Keep up the great work, devs. I can't wait to see what additional features you'll roll out in the future!
