Very promising app, but very buggy

Lots of instances of the app freezing up or prompting me to undo or redo tasks. Feels kind of unintuitive and I’m sometimes guessing whether or not my input has registered.

That said. I do really like the app. Extremely awesome UI and a simplicity seems to be there. But under the hood there seem to be some issues.

I do love the app and find it useful though it’s troubling at times.

Hi Jonyewest, thank you for the feedback. Regarding the undo/redo prompts, I was under the impression that it was a nice feature to be able to undo/redo actions if a mistake was made? I did not know this would be have a negative effect on users. I’m always trying to improve the app’s responsiveness, and I hope to have your support in the future!

Outstanding

One of the best yet. Keep it up my one and only.

Really Good

I really like it, but am there needs to be more repeat options - for example ‘weekdays only’ or ‘weekends only’, and even specific days of the week - for example, ‘Mondays Wednesdays & Fridays’

Looks good

I like the layout and the look of this app. I’ve taken one star off because I’m having a heck of a time figuring out how to use it. The videos on YouTube weren’t very good. I need a user manual I guess.

Delightful experience

Integrated calendars for all accounts

Misrep

The app store shows the lifetime is free, but this feature is not available in the application itself, which clearly constitutes a misrepresentation.

Nice but….

It is a great app, but I don’t plan to keep for two reasons. When it pulled in reminders, it took all of the sub tasks and made them regular tasks. The calendar is not in the format ui prefer which is a list.

Response from developer

Thank you for reviewing Yata. I would love to support importing subtasks from reminders, but unfortunately Apple does not expose this capability to third-party developers. I hope you understand! As for the calendar, there is the Upcoming list which presents your calendar in a list view. It is pretty basic right now, but I’m working to improve upon it in future updates!

Would be my top choice if not for bugs and lag

This is essentially Things, Structured and GTD jammed into one app which is really nice. It is borderline unusable however, because the app somehow lags a lot on my iPhone 12 Pro,
every click has a 3s delay before it registers. Please fix it to be responsive and I will subscribe to premium for sure.

Hi tkcamper, Thank you for your review. Performance on older devices, especially for users with more data, is definitely something to be improved. I’m working on it, and I hope to regain your trust and support in the near future! EDIT: Do try out the latest update (v3.2), I made lots of changes under-the-hood to improve the performance and responsiveness of the app!

Awesome app

This app exceeded my expectations. I've finally found the "to do" app that works for me. I tried so many of them, but I definitely prefer this one. It definitely has a learning curve to it. I recommend reading the user guide because it helps explain how to use this app to its full potential. After playing with it more and learning it, it really clicked for me. I'm going to keep using it. Oh and the widgets are great too. I'm going to pay for the pro features because it is only $5 a year. Definitely recommend this app.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review! Your support means a lot and knowing that users find Yata useful really motivates me to continue working on it!

Great Concept. Lots is bugs and issues

I love the design, ascetics, and concept but lots of issues with things nor working. I don’t see a way to create a calendar event vs an action item. I can’t sign an event to my different calendars that I pulled in from gmail. I created one project but could was not able to create another project. I then used the iOS shortcut Action to create a new project and it said it was completed but the project does not show in the app. Needs more polish than I will give it more stars.

Hi Daveh3100, I appreciate your feedback and criticism, and I apologise for the poor user experience you had with the app. However, without more details, it is difficult to know what is causing each of the issues you brought up. If you are willing, I would love the chance to help you personally debug the issues you are experiencing! Please get in touch with me via email at support@yata-gtd.com. Brandon P.S. regarding the creation of calendar events, this can be done in the Calendar view. You can tap and hold on the plus button to bring up various menu items, including an option to create a calendar event.
