I'm Happy to Support

I do not use Doo much. However, after being prompted that Doo was no longer being supported, I panicked. I was like here we go again. I am being instructed to navigate over to the App Store to download the latest version Doo 3. I immediately thought subscription! To my surprise, I was wrong.

I am tired of developers treating apps like cable subscriptions - it's a failing business model, ask any cable company. I am happy to pay a one time fee upfront.

Thanks!

New UI not for me

I was a big fan of Doo 2. But after dipping my feet in the water with Doo 3 I’m just not feeling it at all. The menus feel clunky and it’s not as intuitive for me. I don’t think it’s a bad app- but I feel like with this new step it’s no longer a no brained app for me. Something doesn’t jive and it just doesn’t make me WANT to use it. I always wanted to use the old UI. Anyways- YMMV.

Not as good as the old version.

This is still a good app but using the old Doo app was extremely intuitive to use and I constantly get lost trying to edit my lists I make. I used the old Doo over the apple to do list stuff but I’ll be going back after this one.

Good features compared to Doo 2, but doesn’t sync with Mac

Still useful, but kinda miffed I can’t get this to sync with MacOS app. I’ve verified iCloud drive is active on both sides... it seems like others are having this problem too

Not as good as before

Not quite sure what the team at Doo we’re thinking, but I would save your money. Really basic app, all the charm of the last version has been stripped away. It’s a basic black and white calendar-light now. So disappointed.

Calms me down

Doo is a unique to-do list app, because it forces you to simplify your lists and focus on one thing at a time. I’ve become much more thoughtful when adding tasks to it, because I can’t just hide my overdue tasks in a folder. And in turn, I’m spending less time stressing out about how much is on my plate, and more time actually getting things done.

Sync Fixed

Right now, it is a swing and a miss, Sync is broken! I went through the troubleshooting points and sync is busted! Hopefully the developer can fix this bug quickly because it looks like it could be very useful.

In addition, the app would benefit from a badge count!

Update: Sync somehow magically works so I really like this app, needs a few tweaks including badge count and maybe a more intuitive interface but I will use it and watch it grow, 4 stars!! Bam!!

Hi EndoGI! Can you describe what you’re seeing to me at support@getdooapp.com? A few troubleshooting tips: Be sure iCloud Drive is enabled and you’re using the same iCloud account on each device. Best, Michael

Great update to an already useful app!

I really enjoy the new color scheme and usability of the app. Looking forward to how it helps my workflow!

Hi davidcook1971! I’m sorry Doo 3 isn’t living up to your expectations. I’m not quite sure what your feedback is referring to. Are you talking about task editing to add items to a checklist? Doo 3.0.3 will add the ability to tap the task title to quickly edit. It will be available in the next day or so. I hope you’ll consider giving Doo 3 a try as it gets better and better! Feel free to reach out to me directly at mike@getdooapp.com Best, Michael

Regression from previous version

Hey!

I love Doo 2! It is the only productivity reminder tool that works for me after having tried everything from the Moleskin Studio product suite through to Things 3.

Doo 3 feels like a completely different product and requires additional steps and introduces multiple layered workflows that adds mental overhead that I didn’t previously experience in Doo 2.

The simplicity of Doo 2 is what made it unique compared to other products. Doo 3 is much too similar to Actions by Moleskin Studio (and others in the same task to do management category), which in my opinion, does a better job at achieving what Doo 3 does, but a worse job when compared to Doo 2.

This product feels like a compromise between two ways of managing tasks and consequently has become a poorer solution when compared to either category.

This is harsh feedback. Don’t get me wrong, I love your work and am very appreciative that’s your pouring effort and creating genuinely unique solutions in what is an over crowded market.

Please don’t discontinue Doo 2. I’d be happy to take over development and evolve it further and share future profits if it’s no longer an area of focus? I would pay a subscription to keep Doo 2 alive and evolving further.

Response from developer

Hi Ben, Thanks for sharing your feedback! The base experience of Doo 3 is the same as Doo 2. I wanted to introduce multiple lists without affecting how the app works. The only slightly controversial change is to put the list view and options behind a tap, which hides the bottom complete and snooze bar. This was done purposely to keep the UI clean and reinforce that your task content, like in a video player, is the most important. Please feel free to share any additional feedback with me directly at mike@getdooapp.com. I think you might enjoy a conversation about the design rationale. Best, Michael
