Decent - would be even better if syncing issue was fixed
Generally good, especially if using it solo. Sometimes shared lists can lag on each other's phone, which can cause confusion.JoannaCake

We're sorry you're seeing delays with shared lists! Each app should sync to your account on the web within a few moments, and then our servers push a sync to the other device, so the whole process should take just a few seconds usually. If that's not the lag that you're seeing, we'd love to know more so we could help! You can contact us through the apps, on our website, or at help@rememberthemilk.com.Simply the best serious to-do app
I've tried all the rest, and for power, usability, features and flexibility this is absolutely unbeatable. The pro version costs £30 per year and its features are pretty essential, but it's (just about) worth it for this indispensable app.Philblogs
Very good to-do manager
It's not a project manager, so set your expectations appropriately.
I have been using RTM for years and I live and die by it. It is an excellent day-to-day to-do organizer. You can set repeating tasks, give tasks locations, assign a time estimate, and tag tasks to help you organize yourself.
RTM doesn't enforce any "getting things done" framework, but is flexible enough to be made to work for just about any organizational style.Show lessbenvon
Indispensable!
The new RTM is indispensable. Overall, this has to be the best manager out there, even with strong competition from Wunderlist and Todoist. It feels like RTM is built by a smaller team. They aren't always the best at marketing, and they took a long time to update their app to compete with the other modern task managers, but once they did it was completely worth it. I (still) use MilkSync with Outlook to capture tasks from my email, and I also love that they have maintained Siri capture support. With the combo of using Launchy on my Windows laptop for work, this means that I have quick capture that is as fast as paper and pen, no matter what I'm doing. I think this is the area where most task managers fail, but RTM just shines. My wish list for improvements would include rich text notes support when transferring tasks to and from Outlook, and honestly to include some of the cool graphic customization options available on the web app. Thanks Bob!!Show lessBrycerton
Life saver
Having written down my work list at the start of each week by hand this saves me over 2 hours a week and gives me so much more control!! Can't recommend it enoughTheBluck
Great Value
Money well spent on Pro - productivity benefits over 1 year are enormous. Customer service is quick and helpful. The app makes good use of slide navigation. No bugs that I can see. Check out forums for clever tips by extremely clever users.Flybouy7
Simply great
Have tried lots of productivity/planning apps and this is the only one I have been able to stick with. I cant exactly put my finger on why but this app just works for me. I like how you can track all your projects including the big ones but not feel overwhelmed because you can look at the daily task list and just start knocking stuff out one by one. Keep up the good work!Show lessPenandsword6744
Better than Todoist for me
I moved here from Todoist, because it truly wasn't meeting my needs. Todoist's project management is only ok, it sucks when it comes to sub-tasks and completed tasks.p65ils
Why have I never tried this app before?
Just downloaded this on a whim. I've used Todoist, Wunderlist, Omnifocus 2, Things 3, 2Do, and paper planners before but never tried RTM. Since I'm addicted to dabbling in different apps I decided to give it a try. The interface has come a long way. I'm finding the web and iOS apps to be snappy, easy to use, and have a feeling of flexibility and understated power. Feels faster to sync and more flexible than Omnifocus, easier to navigate than Things 3, less fiddly than 2Do, and most importantly of all, more powerful than Todoist because it has START DATES!! iOS app look and feel is simple, clean, polished, and friendly.
Really pleasantly surprised. Also love the monkey mascot.Show lessclearly751

We're glad you tried it out, sounds like a good fit! Let us know if you ever have any questions or feedback for us! 🐵Lifesaver!
This app was recommended to me by a career counselor at my law school, and it helps me keep my life under control and to manage my stress.
The lists are excellent, since whenever I have a complicated task with a lot of subparts, I can break it up under a list and spread it out over several weeks. I have about eight lists, and they populate their tasks to the daily and weekly planners every day. So I can see what I need to get done for the eight or so sources of responsibility in my life, without having to worry about anything getting away from me. And I'm able to redistribute things easily when I have too much on my plate.
Plus I was able to create a personal fulfillment list, put activities there that I enjoy, and treat them as part of the things that I need to get done every day, if possible. So it helps me build more "me" time into my schedule and I'm much happier for it.
The only thing better would be if it integrated with Yahoo! calendar like it does with Gmail. Also, I had to pick one device to use it on, since I found that when I paid for continuous syncing and tried to use it on my iPhone, iPad, and laptop, the sync would not work well. It actually duplicated a lot of entries. But those are just a couple of side issues, on the whole, the app is really a lifesaver!Show lessJothika
