  • Finally an App that’s works for me

    Finally an App that works across all my time and space. I’m just using the free version and there have been no limitations. I’m impressed and my overwhelming experience with my work load is abating. Maybe just maybe this venture is going to be a success. I’m even sleeping better.

    Sounds awesome! Love hearing Any.d is helping you get your day in order ;)
  • Best to do app, but...

    I upgraded to pro just because I do use this app all the time and want to help the developers keep being able to develop the app. I like this app the best out of the few major apps I tried out before. Other than supporting developers, the upgrade is pretty pointless. I thought at least being able to take pics as attachments could be useful to me, but the attachment function is terrible! It forces you to fit pictures into a square, and if you zoom in in the picture you can’t move to either side of the image. It just stays static. I want to use this to take pictures of handwritten notes or anything, really, but the cropping constraints render it almost totally useless!! Please update this!

    Honestly I’d update this rating to four or five stars and recommend the upgrade if this attachments issue were fixed.

  • Review update:

    Super happy with this app. It has become much more intuitive to set tasks and change dates/times when needed. THANK YOU!

    Old Review:I am really upset about the recent update, which removed the ability of the Plan My Day feature to utilize a daily/hourly calendar with plenty or options to organize and move tasks around and defer to specific calendar dates. It has instead reverted to the old, basic, dot progression, which allows for moving tasks only to “tomorrow”, “two days”, “next week”, and “someday”. I will not be renewing my Premium subscription when it expires if nothing is changed.

  • Efficient Way to Organize my To-Do Lists

    I use this for my To-Do list every day. I used to keep paper lists that I’d have to scribble on and re-write when they got messy. This app keeps everything organized, and if I don’t plan to do something until later, I can put it out of my mind until then, because I get a reminder on the specific day of the task. I can have less on my mind, knowing that everything is accounted for & that it’ll come up on my list as it needs to. The only down side is not being able to adjust to a custom date when using “Plan My Day.” (“Someday” is not a helpful category because I’ll just forget to do it without a reminder, so I end up choosing “next week “ even if what I want is “in ten days,” then in a week I have to choose “two days from now” and then in two days choose “tomorrow” if I’ve forgotten to go in and adjust it from the other screen.)

    Thanks for the feedback! We appreciate your input and will definitely have our Product Team look into adding a custom option to the Moment feature for future developments :)
  • So nice..

    Like it! A lot. I have recently came out of hospital so had a lot of catching up to do. People have said my achievement level has been impressive. I know it’s partly..., okay, a lot to do with this app. It prompts me and I get things done, even when I don’t feel up to it. It’s some how developed to motivate, and as it’s so easy to do (just click email, or call etc and details come up and it calls or ‘does’ for you. Well done devs. Well thought out, presented UI.
    Just one integration question. Don’t know if you will ball at the idea, but can this integrate into Google, iCalender and todos?? Will it ever happen??

    We love hearing how you were able to utilize the app to get back on track! We already integrate with any of the calendars added to your device so just make sure you add those under Settings - Accounts. As for todos - if you're referring to Apple Reminders, we're already offering this integration under the app's Settings.
  • Frustrated loyal customer

    This has been my to-do list app for the last year and a half. I have created/deleted/shared many lists. But within the past 2 months the syncing issues are getting in the way of my love for the app. I’ll be using my phone for days at a time- only to log onto my desktop version and find 15-20 undone tasks that I completed days beforehand. Lists shared between family members aren’t syncing anymore either. The only fix is to uninstall and reinstall. Every time.

    The grocery list needs work. I want to be able to drag and drop my groceries into other aisles. Again, more sync issues here too. If you have someone you share your grocery list with, be prepared for sync issues and for you both to come home with groceries you thought the other person hadn’t bought yet, since your any do lists didn’t sync 😐

    For the record, our grocery lists synced for the past year, these issues aren’t connectivity based on our end. We have never had a problem with this until the past couple of months.

    I will say that developer support is decent and you will get a response if you submit a ticket. I’m holding out hope for a sync fix because I love this app- but it is a frustrating issue for sure.

  • Drag to sort is my favorite feature

    It’s why I chose this app out of many choices. This responsive dragging feature does not appear to be an option in the new designated Grocery list. Here’s why it’s useful to me: suppose I need carrots, onions, lettuce, eggs, brown sugar, bread and cereal—and I’m thinking there will be time to go to Costco and Trader Joe’s. So, I drag-sort into grocery sections by likely stores, as I’ll probably get carrots, onions, maybe bread etc at TJ’s or I’ll end up with too much food to get through before spoiling. But I want the entire list in view as might run out of time and just get that 5 lb bag of carrots at Costco, make soup or juice with the excess. And, I can sort the grocery items by area of that produce department (ie apples, pears, citrus found together as are onions, potatoes, garlic, shallots, etc) so I’m not zipping into that chilly (Costco cooler room!) area more than once. Please preserve this lovely feature.

    Thank you for the feedback! We definitely appreciate the explanation and examples which will help our Product Team optimize the feature with its next developments :)
  • On the right track, love the core concept, sadly execution fails

    I've been using this app on and off for years, I keep trying other options, yet always keep wanting to come back due to the simplicity.

    The today, tomorrow, upcoming & someday approach helps me to keep priority without adding burden of dates and times (this is my fav feature).

    However sadly the following frustrations in day to day use keep me from returning permanently:

    1 - Automatically remove completed tasks, rather than a two step process, this is such an odd decision, especially with things like shopping lists (support tell me no plans to change this feature).

    2 - New features that are advertised don’t seem to show up in the app. For example drag and drop of sub tasks (with this feature sub tasks are useless), listed in release notes for months yet still no where to be seen (either in beta or normal release). Shopping list feature also still missing, but listed clearly in release notes. (Support told me these features are rolling out slowly, I’m not sure over months is within this definition).

    3 - At least a passable desktop experience for windows and mac, not just a stupidly spaced out "web app" that doesn't make sense (support suggest this will be fixed in 2019).

    Thank you for the feedback. To remove completed tasks just shake your phone and confirm :) Regarding Shopping lists, we've just released a Grocery List feature which might be a good solution for such items. New features are always rolling out gradually so we can get some feedback and solve any minor kinks before we open them to all users. We already have a Mac app and we are currently working on a new Web app and afterwards will proceed to working on all other web-based apps :)
  • Great BUT maybe add an option for one off purchase

    Great app , really beats the heck out of other stuff on the market. Only issue is the recurring payments for ‘premium’. I’d happy pay $5 once off without the 24/7 support and new features

    Either way - great app 😀

    Developer Response

    Any.do is not only a product but also a service. We are continuously adding new features, keeping your information synced and safe 24/7, and providing Priority Support for any need you may have. Since Any.do is offering much more than a standard product, we have decided a subscription is the best pricing for it, like similar apps on the market :)
  • I miss some old features, but I really like the new color-coded tagging system

    I really miss the old “moment” feature where you could drag and drop tasks onto a time chart. You could resize the blocks for how much time they would take. This feature used to really help me realistically plan how much I could get done in one day. They canceled the feature and now the “moment” feature works differently. I really miss how it used to be. I hope they can add it back someday.

    However, one new feature that I really like is the tagging system feature so you can add your own color-coded tags onto your tasks and define what each tag means to you.
    For example: you can have a tag (red tag) that means to you “this takes 3 hours or longer to complete.” So you know not to plan a lot of stuff that’s tagged red.
    I personally also added:
    (yellow tag) = “this task takes 30 minutes - 2 hours to complete”
    (Green tag) = “this task takes 15 minutes or less to complete.”
    You can also tag stuff like (blue) = “social”
    Or (grey) = math projects for college.
