Effective without being complicated!
Limiting each quadrant to 8 items max prevents having to do list that are too long. Best thing about app is how you can easily move items between quadrants and rearrange them the same way with just a touch. Improvements would be having a link that would automatically bring up calendar app for scheduling like the link they have that brings up ail app for delegation. But these are minor compared to the ease of use and
Simplicity of the program itself.

Disappointing
A very limited application with no lists of items achieved/deleted and less than 10 items per section.
I will be deleting.

Do not buy - too limited
You are limited to 8 items per list with no extension. This is a killer. Overpriced for a ver very limited app. Do not buy
Needs iOS reminders app task integration
This app delivers on its promises, and I haven't run into any problems so far. I also really like how you can easily drag a task to a different priority quadrant, since the 4 quadrants are neatly displayed at the bottom of each screen view.
However, I would really like to see an option to easily transfer items from the built-in iOS Reminders app!! Please, developers????? Pretty please??!? Even if the imported tasks had to show in a new, separate screen view (maybe under settings or something?) and each task be manually dragged into the respective priority quadrants, I would love it.
Also, it would be cool if we could adjust the timer to settings other than 30 minutes (e.g. 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 45 minutes). I also agree with one of the previous reviewers that it would be nice to have an option to turn off the ticking sound but still hear an alert when the timer runs out.
Otherwise, it's a great app, though. It helps with prioritizing (using an Eisenhower/Covey-type method) and also focusing on completing just one task at a time. If you struggle with those things, this app will probably help you.

Very helpful!
Very helpful in figuring out your daily list of things to do! I wish there was a mechanism for inputting all tasks over a week but that's unnecessary as you can simply write them in Notes or Reminders. I would recommend it!
It's different...that's good
Because it is different, it took awhile for me to catch on, so my advice is keep doing it until it works for you---then the breakthrough happens. And it is GOOD. As far as the limit of To-do's, I found that some daily tasks could be clumped together. For example 1) supplements 2) salad 3) juice drink 4) drink water 4) healthy breathing all go under DAILY NUTRIENTS. When I started using the timer, the magic kicked in. It is set for 30 minutes so I hit start. The task may continue longer according to my discretion. Sometimes I go shorter to get to the next task. It doesn't matter. I'm doing it and checking it off. I'm in control and getting to each item and that is just what I wanted!

Focused todo app
Bare bones focusing and a limited number of tasks is perfect to make me prioritize what i want to do today. I still use omnifocus for the hundred other projects but go to this during the day to remind me where to put energy.
Simple and useful
I use to always supplement my productivity app with a pad of paper, but not so much. I love the steps Eisenhower takes of matching prioritization with the first steps to making it happen (email, calendar, Pomodoro timer). It's be cool to see task competition by type over time as a graph/archive view for reference, but don't let something like that take away from such a simple, straightforward experience. Rockin, thanks!

Good but crashes
Good features such as timer but crashes occasionally.
Recommended
Having used various Pomodoro-based apps, I found this visioning of the simpler yet more rigorous Eisenhower method to be much easier to incorporate into my routines on a sustainable basis. It has only the features you need so no distracting frills. I can recommend it to consultants or anyone seeking to maximize their output.
