Leave a Review Remember The Milk
Middle School Principal
I was using Todoist to stay organized and focused. Was very happy and even went premium after a while for a few added features .Downloaded the free version of RTM just to play with after reading some great reviews. The free RTM is more functional for me than Todoist and even had the added features I wanted from Todoist. It works flawlessly for me, especially with the many repeating tasks in my role. Weekly and monthly tasks are entered once and appear on the day I need to handle them every week or month. Great for safety, maintenance items, and monthly reports.
Emails that require my attention are forwarded to RTM and appear as a task with the email body as a note. That really beats reading them once and flagging them as unread so I don’t forget them, which was clogging up my inbox. I can schedule the task when I have time to decide on a date, and no more important matters falling through the cracks. Most importantly...inbox zero every day in my email. I am not sure the premium version of RTM has enough added value for my particular use, but I may try it just to make sure RTM stays profitable so I stay productive. The daily morning email of my tasks and the text reminders are perfect for me. I still have Todoist on all my devices and desktop, but it has become a good but lonely app as of late.
I would recommend RTM to anyone not completely satisfied with their current to do app.Show lessndjvmsirmx
Happy user for almost a decade
I have been using RTM for a very long time. It is a very configurable task list manager that can be accessed easily on the web and mobile. The team is continuously adding features and fixing bugs without making it complex over the years. RTM has truly become a trusted and indispensable task management tool for me. Thanks team RTM and Bob!Show lesssayaneebasu
Option to keep reminder on the lock screen!
Great app, but its quite easy to overlook sometimes. Could you please add a feature where the notifications from RTM stay on the lock screen even after the iPhone is opened? Kinda like the apple reminder app.
Also, and option to say “progress has been made” or “task has been started” would be awesome for keeping track of things one may have started but not finished :) that way you get to feel like you checked something off but know that it still needs work.Show lessLeBronwyn
Easy to set up and prioritise reminders
Lifesaving app, really easy to use and set up reminders. You can configure the reminders to any sort of frequency. You can search for incomplete or completed tasks. But the best bit is they synchronise perfectly between phone and laptop. I don’t lose any tasks.Virgin used
Ignores modern gesture support
RTM does a good job of honoring recent Google interface standards. For example it has a big circle with a plus sign to let me add a task.
Unfortunately it completely ignores the use of gestures. Yes, it has two primitive strokes - stroke left and stroke right. Those “complete” a task or let “postpone” it.
However, how delete with a stroke? It’s as though they never looked at a modern app such as, Clear. No delete stroke.
Well, what about creating a new task? Nope. You have to tap through a series of awkward choices. No stroking.
Switching lists? Of course there’s a stroke, right? Nope.
Switching views? In your dreams.
The bottom line it is much slower and more awkward to use than it should be.
Additionally, and this may be my fault, the View mechanism seems awkward. I spent a while trying to figure it out. Help pages are *pathetic*! I gave up after a fair amount of effort.
I suggest you go find a To Do app that keeps up with the exciting and excellent use of stroke gestures, deep press, and all the other simplifying ideas that Apple has added to iOS.
P.s. I just remembered - I could not even drag items to reorder the list. Even if there is a “sort manually” options (which I could not find), there aren’t drag bars. I invite the developers, again, to go check other cutting edge apps and keep up.Show lessEben.Visher
This one works
I have tried them all. Wunderlist, My To-Do and numerous others. They all failed one way or another. Mostly synchronizing problems. Remember The Milk has a perfect record. Have used it quite a while and it never failed me. I use it several times a day. Works great from computer to phone and phone to computer. I had a question on its use and customer support was right there with an easy to understand answer to my question. When you try this application your search for a reliable To-Do List will be over.Show lessDuh ?

Fast! Clean and versatile
Quick and runs on everything. Handles any workflow. Used for work and home.
However I found that after some years, I longed for a calendar view that could also see my Google calendar, so just switched to TickTick. But I’ll be keeping an eye on RTM.Gazoola
Excellent mobile productivity
I've used Remember The Milk since 2007, and their iOS app has been my favorite way to manage my tasks and stay on top of everything.
Smart Lists are my favorite because I can see just what I want to do, but I also love the subtasks, attachments, drag and drop ordering, multi-edit, and quick navigation through the app. The Evernote integration is handy also.Show lessandrew.conkling
Good task management app
Overall I like this app.
My one complaint is that tasks not completed disappear from the "Due soon" list once the deadline has passed. It might be technically true, but doesn't seem right to me.Gonzo78
