Leave a Review Remember The Milk
The Best!
I’ve tried and use several task and project managers in conjunction with my various companies, Wrike, Teamwork, Trello, Basecamp, etc. We’ve also used high end CRM applications. I can honestly say RTM is the very best, simple yet powerful, fantastic GUI, manages all my work, my companies, and my life. My go to for reminders, for lightweight project management, and to manage my life. Works great on a desktop, even better on the iPad with the pencil, long press on tasks to change priority, date, tags, lists, etc. This is a “Gillette” situation, I liked it so much I tried to buy the company but it’s apparently run by a group of techies from around the world that like doing this. It’s apparent they do, works great, not commercialized, and not continually dis-improved to an over complex mess. This app can’t be beat and it doesn’t get the credit it deserves.Show lessWorldWIseTrade
Cool app
I got the “moo” just where I want itDr Frank N. Shroom's review
13 Years of being my FAVORITE ❤️
I have been a RTM Pro subscriber since 2009. It has only gotten better, more powerful, more, reliable, and more useful in that time. What I love the most is that it hasn’t gotten overly complicated in the process. It still stretches from simple todo list app to backlog project management without losing what at the core are some really good ideas.
There is a lot of research on how much space in your brain is used up trying to remember things you need to not forget. Being able to capture those things somewhere that is reliable and will pop them back up when they are important is what lets your brain release them and use its energy for something else. RTM’s elegant capture of tasks literally gives you your brainpower back! 🧠 Worth every penny!Show lessschuss
Great app!
I love this app! My review is for both the desktop as well as the app version. I was looking for an ideal thing to meet my needs, and remember the milk came along.
I actually use it for my to do list and as a goal planner. It’s functionality is neat and you can sort everything into categories (under lists). Whereas I dislike a lot of other list and goal apps where they make it so difficult to do anything and even charge for creating a goal. 😡
For this app, if you want subtasks, you have to pay, but you can just separate things by spaces and commas.
Everything that you write on the desktop version is immediately updated on the phone app version.Show lessKetyan20
Love this app
Still a few bugs like in custom sorting with items from Evernote appearing as “other”InterStellar_Zeus
Great while using the free version!!
I’m a student and I really enjoy using the app and have it synced to my laptop for both school work and personal reminders!! I love how it’s easy to make separate lists and combine them altogether because it helps me prioritize properly. My only grief is that it doesn’t send a banner notification through the app on phone, because I don’t want a text or email. Altogether tho, super helpful!!Show lessDeviled Albumen
All in all failing
Rememberthemilk (RTM) is a decent todo list manager with a very cute brand. I used web version and app with a subscription for a few years.
However a few usability issues never got addressed: So for example Tag selection on existing tasks is a nightmare-ish long list.
What drove me away is that the iPhone push notifications never worked reliably: You set them up and they work, but maybe a month later they stop functioning. You need to go through some hoops to get it working again - and the same will happen.
But NOTIFICATIONS CAN BE CRUCIAL and need to be trustable. So eventually I gave up and moved on.Show lesshalloleo

Udderly fantastic!DgF29
Not worth downloading.
It’s a bit annoying to set up (can’t be set up entirely from phone, you have to use desktop for the features that you want) and I wish having a reminder was the default setting with an option to turn off. I spent hours putting in my gardening and summer chore plans and none of them notify me at all because I didn’t manually add and set a reminder which takes extra time on top of the already time consuming task of making the item. Plus you have to use a desktop to enable reminders. So far apple reminders has been more functional for me but they are too easily dismissed. Not sure if I’ll use this app going forward, pretty disappointed in it. The user interface is also very clunky looking.
Between the annoying way to have to input everything, the annoying way you have to set reminders and basically the annoying way you have to do everything on this app makes it not worth it to me. Plus they clearly take your data. They should be paying you for your data.Show lesstheymakeyouhaveauniquenickname
