  • Stunningly Adaptable....

    I run £50k window cleaning business with 630 customers repeating every 8 weeks. I employ no support staff, doing it entirely on my lonesome. If it wasn’t for this app I’d be spending a fortune on therapy! Buy.
  • I prefer simplicity

    The app is fairly simple but I did not like that when I added a new item to the list it defaulted to the bottom of the list where I could easily forget about it. I couldn’t figure out how to make the items add to the top of the list. Also, I could organize by priority or by drag and drop but I could not use both at the same time which I found a bit frustrating. I like to keep a living list that I move around a lot to keep organized. I did not find that part very easy. But it was very easy to add new tasks, which is important. The app had a lot of features without being over complicated, but ease of use was not completely up to par for me. And extra points for the cute name and logo.

  • Best todo app out there, but that's not saying much.

    RTM gets what many todo apps out there don't get - an interface should prioritise function over form. There's nothing more irritating than flashy graphics and lame or convoluted ways to enter or edit information. Simplicity and speed of entry MUST be the number one thing.

    I wish it wouldn't require online syncing for the desktop app. Should have local lists and compare them when sync is available.

    We're glad you enjoy the app overall! The sync should work only when available and keep things local when it can't (for example when your device isn't connected), but we'd love to know if that's not what you're experiencing! If you want to contact us you can reach us by email at help@rememberthemilk.com, through the app's Help, or on our website.
  • Powerful AND Easy!

    EASY: RTM is very easy to jump into considering how robust a todo app it is. If you’re looking for a very simple todo app, built more for function over form, RTM is a great choice. Compared to other simple todo apps, RTM has a little learning curve but if you ever need to grow in your todo needs, choosing RTM will pay off big.

    POWERFUL: And if you need a very flexible todo app that will match most any workflow, RTM’s powerful customizable filtering (“smart lists”) and sorting has got you covered.

  • Basic features are paywalled

    No thanks.
  • I’m back and so glad to be here

    After being a remember the milk pro user for a few years I was tempted away to try and find an alternative cheaper task manager and thought I might have found a decent replacement but all the time I found myself missing some of Remember the milks features
    I decided to give Remember the milk another go and I’m so glad I did.
    I spent some time setting it back up and now use tags much more efficiently.
    I now have everything just where I can find it and in a format I can understand.
    My biggest gripe in the passed was the lack of a diary/Calendar built into the app but I have now found a way around that by using ITTT to send all my calendar entries to RTM and it works very well they arrive in my inbox and all I have to do is put them into a folder named Diary
    One of the great features for me is the ability to use and sync on many devices including my laptop and All for the one membership cost which when divided by 12 months of the year make it very much worth it
    I’m still struggling with some of the shortcut entries but I’m sure in time I’ll get my head round the ones I need to use
    Thank you RTM defiantly still the best and glad to be back

    We're glad to hear you're enjoying the app so much! 💙 We'd love to help with any questions you have about the shortcuts or anything else. We do offer iCalendar to view your tasks on your calendar too if that would be more useful than the IFTTT integration. If you have any questions, you can contact us by email at help@rememberthemilk.com, through the app's Help, or on our website.
  • A forgetful girl's best friend

    I have used every reminder app known to man and nothing, and I mean NOTHING, has stuck like RTM. It is simple and sensical and user friendly and just plain cute. The reminder tone literally moos and it makes my day. Thank you for creating this app, it'll probably save my job. Apparently I forget things alot. Or something like that.
    I'm #teamRTM for life.

  • Perfect app until it wanted $54.99 YEARLY

    This app is exactly what I have been searching for! I was really excited it had everything I needed and started inputting my info right afterxnfbvf fight you dc xx. I started making my To Do List and realized if I wanted any sort of notification or alarm to go I had to sign up for the pro version.

    I never pay for apps or subscriptions but I was willing to pay for this app until I saw how much it was. $54.99 a YEAR for features that should be included in a free model.

    I’m back on the hunt for my perfect app.

  • Awesome

    My only gripe is that there’s been a bug for a while with the alignment of tasks on screen. If you accidentally swipe at the screen it can go askew. Then you have to close app and reopen.

    Otherwise ...

    It does everything you could want and syncs brilliantly across multiple devices. Pro is worth every cent (I was highly sceptical but it is).

    have been a pro user for years and years. Very happy overall

  • I *want* to love it ... but I don’t.

    There’s a lot to love about this app. Multiple types of lists, flexible, the ability to share lists with friends, family, co-workers... all cool.

    The problem is that most of the useful features and controls are only available when you spin up your desktop computer.

    NOT. FROM. THE. PHONE. APP.

    As an example, I would like to add my husband to the grocery list. But the app won’t let me do that. Go home and use the computer, because I can’t do this simple task while I am out running errands. Okay. He’s added. (Took me two days to remember while I was actually in front of the computer, but that sort of thing is why I need a list app anyway, right?)

    He gets to the store to buy groceries. Pulls out his phone and opens the app. No list! Why not? Well, he was supposed to remember to turn on his computer and accept the list. He can’t do that (or even see that it needs to be done) from the app.

    Does this make any sense? No. It does not.

    If and when the RTM team ever gets their act together to make an app that actually works on a mobile device, I might revisit their work.

    Meanwhile? Forget it.

    Sorry to hear about your experience sharing lists! The list does need to be shared initially from the web/desktop app; sorry for the inconvenience. However, it can be accepted from the iPhone app (in the notifications at the top left) and then the list will sync and share as expected afterward. If you check out the app again, we'd love to help more if you'd like! You can reach us by email at help@rememberthemilk.com, through the app's Help, or on our website. 💙
