Upgrade idea
How about Gantt and PERT techniques and the use of Pareto graphs
For busy people
This app does everything, from simple tasks and reminders to creating involved projects. This app covers everything..
Well worth the price

Was really really good, a five star player, now unsupported? Hence one star...
My go to app for a while with the Pro version on all my devices across iOS and Windows I’d invested a fair amount in it. Good, powerful, effective - once you learn some of its idiosyncrasies, as some others have said.
Now seems to be unsupported. Emails not answered, app does not seem to be being updated, Twitter and Facebook feeds are old and outdated. Based on that I’d recommend extreme caution before parting with money. I’m now looking for an alternative.
Sad really because having used many this was the best I’d tried and had settled on it as The One...

Me Nik V
Top stuff having ADHD this has become part of my daily routine.
Ugh
The new update deleted all of the tasks I had written down... I lost everything... I guess lesson learned to not rely on using electronic programs for scheduling all my important tasks
Very interesting!!
I am a total Omnifocus user, but even though its my go to app i found Task Pro while looking around and decided to give it a go... And i am very surprised - its a useful app though a little confusing at first - once over the slightly frustrating start stick with it and it actually make a lot of sense. Love the different views , especially the Kansan view...
Anyway liking it so far...i do feel its a little dated in some respects but that is not always a bad thing...
All in all i think this is a decent app with great syncing too....for a one off reasonable price....
Thanks

Day 700...still very pleased.
Update.
Still using this..the others Toodledoo and Errands have fallen by the wayside.
Original review c2015
Bought this because I wanted something more sophisticated than Errands. Also bought Toodledo at the same time but abandoned that almost immediately because you have to pay and link to their website to create sub-tasks.
So far (day 2) Organise has everything I want as far as loading action, tasks etc. You can have sub-tasks, and sub-tasks of those etc. You can assign multiple user defined "Contexts" to a task. These two elements (sub-tasks and contexts) give great flexibility: the formal hierarchical way to look at my actions, and meaningful groupings (e.g. all the phone calls I need to make, or all the questions I need to ask my boss when I next see her).
It's too early to say how effective it is at managing my time. Maybe I should make a note to report back in a month or so :-)
I spent a couple of hours researching this, and I am happy with my choice. (though I'll still use Errands for simple checklists).

Best project or to-do app
Best in Class!
Strengths
• Freemium offer is fully functional (especially important for non-profits). This allows for rapid scaling out to those who have limited project tasks, while paid options allow core team members to go beyond the 250 tasks, 6 Project freemium limit. (I suspect that many freemium users try will find app so helpful they will buy into paid options and share this tool with other orgs that need it).
• Urgent, Important, Priority, Reminders/Review, Task Description/Note, Context filtering, Duration, comments, Attachments, Timeline, Subcribers/People RACI, subprojects, and Progress in combination allow the best in class combination of task features available with a freemium option.
• Kanban, Mind Map, hierarchy, List, Next Action, Urgent and Important, By Duration, Project Dashboard, Urgent, Important, Prioritized, Repeating, and Everything views provide a best in class easy access perspectives on work. You can drill down into Flagged, Upcoming, Running, Overdue and so many other custom options.
• Purchase: no subscription hook! I don’t mind paying for additional feature sets as needed, but having to pay a subscription to keep things going is really a one sided business relationship. Kudos Taskfabric!
Weaknesses
• Need option to select which iOS calendars show. Project managers manage multiple calendars and you don’t need all to show (e.g. birthday calendar for 5k contacts distracts from important appointments in Next Actions view)
• No spell check!
• Extensive feature set needs more documentation. They have basic FAQs, but more is needed for first time users. A day in the life view with a narrative on best practices would also be a great supplement.
Opportunities
• Automation - Apple will hopefully bring back some variant on Apple Script or Automation which you can integrate with. Until then, IFTTT and Workflow have lots of options that could be launched by task. It would also be nice to select articles or text and to create a task from them. While you can do that via email, the Action menu available in all apps in is the cleaner option.
• Links in addition to attachments. Especially now that there is a iOS Drive file system that goes to cloud services, it would be good to pick the file and have a link, instead of a copy that may be outdated shortly.
