  • Amazing app, amazing people

    ToDoist is my jam. It works exactly the way my brain does for task and project management. With endless features, advanced labeling and filtering, native language input, and so many integrations and well-designed use cases, you’ll quickly become a productivity superhero.

    As a six sigma black belt and operations expert; I have a sharp edge when it comes to productivity, I demand an insane amount from the tools I use. ToDoist is one of the few to have never let me down.

    Here is an example… I integrated my entire life into ToDoist. I use it for everything along with Fantastical. Recently, I questioned if I might move to a free option like Reminders which has made great strides and is borderline usable! I decided to share this with ToDoist and they awarded me an extended trial through the year to convince me to stay, I did… and I could t be happier.

  • Try it!

    i am very disorganized, but this app makes it easy to display my goals for school in an efficient and aesthetically pleasing way. ive been using it for almost three years now, and it has saved me so many times. I also love how, even without having the paid version, you have access to all of the features you need. ADDITIONALLY (wow this is long) i really live for how easy it is to access on all my devices, since there is a browser version(no download necessary) that i can get to on my computer easily. Todoist has stopped me from forgetting so many things. [tips to use it- make labels for your classes if you are in school, (it makes it so fun and color coordinated) also! if you have an iphone, add it as a widget on your home screen, so that you can easily add tasks and see what you have to do without opening the app.] my sister got into harvard using this (and loves it enough to pay for the pro version). im just a generally disorganized kid trying to graduate highschool and ive never left a review for anything before this. But for real, If you are looking for a digital planner or organizer try this one out. :)

    Wow! Thank you so much for giving us your first review 🥹 We really appreciate that. And, thanks for sharing the way you use Todoist 🙏🤗
  • Great Organization App!

    This app is great for organizing a bunch of highschool/college classes that have a bunch of assignments. This app lets you create different sections of lists and labels to help categorize those lists into more manageable amounts. Tasks and assignments that you want to get done today all show up in the today tab, eliminating any other tasks that might be in those other lists due at another time. Having all of these resources in this one all minimizes stress and anxiety when it comes to getting things done! You can customize your lists and the projects that you are working on however you want. This app really helped my overwhelming lists turn into priority and success. This app work great. Although, I would like for the app to have a way to make more than five projects without paying, changing the layout of the main project tabs would be cool to, specially making those tabs bigger! Overall I recommend 5 stars.

  • Slow burn, second-chance romance

    I was a Wunderlist devotee and I’m still not fully over it. ToDoist always felt like too many bells and whistles. I resisted. I shopped around. Then eventually I concluded ToDoist had everything I wanted. So I took the plunge, spent a few hours getting it all set up in a modified bullet journal-esque style, and now it’s a match made in heaven. I have a few tiny quibbles: I don’t use subtasks much because the way they work hasn’t been intuitive for me. I struggle with weekly recurring tasks—when I don’t get to a Monday recurring task and reschedule it to Tuesday, I still want it on Monday the following week. And finally, I would love to have ToDoist for home as well as work, but I don’t want those lists to share space and I don’t want to pay for a second subscription; I would love to be able to partition it for work-life balance. But overall, I love it. Love love love. It makes my cute lil ADHD brain settle down a little and get S done. Which feels like a miracle.

  • Discoverable, full-featured, adaptable, excellent!

    I have been using this app for eight months now and it had a little bit of a learning curve probably because I was trying too many features at once. It is a really, really good program and it has yet to belch. It has helped me immensely and guided me into a much simpler workflow than I started out with and I am very happy with it. I wish I had found this years ago when I was doing project management it would have been an invaluable resource. Now that I am retired and I don’t have much use for the project management features But the beauty is they are there if I need them and when I don’t they are not in the way at all. That’s probably the most impressive thing about this application is it’s adaptability to the way you want to work. Great job guys, I love it.

  • This app changed my life

    I’ve been using this app for ~5 years. It’s truly an exception app and so well-developed. I have recommended this to all of my employees and colleagues (we build and launch rockets/satellites, so this app is quite literally powering affordable access to space). Being able to use this and sync across mobile and my laptop is beautiful. I use it to organize work tasks. I use it to keep a grocery list. I use it to create a packing list. I use it for a weekend to-so list. I have “need to buy” lists and ad-hoc lists for all sorts of things. For work, priority and due date are essential. The task nesting functionality is amazing and so easy to use. Task frequency has saved the lives of many plants that live with me and require water regularly. Thanks to the developers for putting so much thought into making this a simple platform capable of so much. Y’all are awesome!

  • Life Changing

    I’ve tried so many different to-do apps and this one works for my specific criteria. 1 - I like to bullet list my to-do items. This makes it super simple to work off a simple bullet list or take it further and get down into the weeds with reminders, projects, ect. Basically you can go as complicated or as simple as you want. 2 - It works across my iOS, Mac and PC. This is huge. I maintain a robust excel tracker during the day and I can very quickly add items to Todoist which syncs across all my devices. 3 - Syncing across my calendar and inviting my wife to a separate project is incredibly easy. 4 - Easy to change priorities and dates. Life happens and we don’t always get to everything we think we will do in a day. It’s too easy to push less important tasks to a later date. I love how flexible this app is. Too many apps want to lock you into a certain ecosystem (i.e. apple only) or force you to conform to using the app a certain way. If you don’t want to use the markdown features, shortcuts, projects or boards then you don’t have to. I use it for absolutely everything now. Everyone in my life now knows if it’s not on my “list” then it’s not going to happen. Worth every single penny.

  • Would be better if notifications actually worked

    The notifications for this app literally don’t work. Even with background refresh turned on, and connected to cellular network or WiFi, the notifications don’t go off. I don’t even get notifications in the Notification Center. I literally only see updates on my tasks when I manually open the app and see all my overdue deadlines because the notifications for them never went off.

    I don’t know if the regular notifications are unavailable without a subscription. I know Todoist has what it calls “reminders,” which requires a pro subscription. Are reminders supposed to be regular notifications? If so that would explain why mine aren’t going off because I don’t have the pro subscription. But if notifications and reminders are different features, then the notifications feature NEVER works. Even after multiple uninstall, reset, and reinstall attempts.

    I might as well delete the app since without notifications, it is useless to me.

  • BEST TO-DO APP OUT THERE

    I hardly ever take the time to write app reviews, but I feel it was very necessary for this app. Todoist has helped me organize my life and make sure that I never forget to complete anything that I’m working on, whether it’s personal-project-related or things for work.

    The UI is so clean, simple, and pleasant with dark mode options and colors you can use for labels, projects, etc. I found the UI/UX to be the best compared to any other apps out there (for what I personally use it for). There are also a number of awesome features baked within the app that make your experience seamless; however, it’s not overly-packed with features which is nice.

    This is the simplest app that had all of the features I have been looking for, and then some. You won’t regret dedicating your time to this app - definitely try!

  • Messy and disappointing

    In creating items that repeat, there isn’t a system of click a button or two. Instead the developers foolishly decided to force users figure words by typing that may or may not work. This only makes the task of creating daily todo items more timely, more complicated, more frustrating. Why do these developers try to come up with cute solutions instead of using proven successful ones?

    Issue #2: notifications. I have the red alert bubble showing in the app icon. I go to the app but there is no obvious place to show what is causing the alert. It turns out that there is nothing for an alert yet that red notification indicator bubble in the app icon is still showing. This only will make me turn off notifications from this app, thereby making this app completely useless. The objective of list users is to elimate these alerts by accomplishing tasks. If those alerts only continue to show, only frustrates us. Fix these issues. I’m already just about done with this app. Paper and pencil seem like an easier, cheaper, less stressful way to go.
