Leave a Review Things 3
iPad app is twice the price
Beware - get comfy on your iPhone, and you’ll have to pay double again for the iPad version. Slimy.
There is no point to this without location triggers. Stock iOS Reminders is superior.
Your cloud harvesting service is also creepy.The Only Alida

Hi, sorry if it wasn’t clear before purchasing that the app is sold separately for each device. We explain this in the app’s description, but not everyone notices that. We do it this way because some customers only want Things for one device. For example, there are quite a few people who only want it for iPhone because they don’t use a Mac or iPad. Selling it separately for each device makes it possible to charge a lower price than if we bundled all the apps into a single purchase. In any case, thanks for your feedback on the pricing! Thanks for your feedback on location-based alerts too. As for "cloud harvesting", it's not clear what you're referring to as we do not "harvest" our customers' data.

If someone asked me how to design a good app, I’d tell them to use Things for a month - it’s beautifully functional. Thank you.tomc1234567891
Just get it!
I purchased this on my MacBook and on my iPhone. I was hesitant to purchase because I have bought countless things to help me get organized — planners, calendars, to-do lists, sticky notes, and utilized countless modalities — paper and pen, GoodNotes5, Google Keep, Google Tasks, YOU NAME IT! Nothing has really helped me, and I have probably wasted hundreds of dollars.
Let me start off by saying that I am a very type A person and extremely productive, but I am also obnoxiously busy every day and have ADHD. It is hard for me to focus on what is the most important thing to do to because there’s just so much of it. I am currently a teacher, planning my wedding, I own an apartment building, and have so many other things on my plate. So, when my to-do list gets too long (AKA at about noon everyday), I become completely overwhelmed. I don’t know where to start or how to prioritize.
This app is truly life changing for me. There’s no thrills and it only has what’s important. I can focus on what needs to be done without distractions. It helps me prioritize, I can schedule things out in advance, remind myself of things, organize projects, break difficult tasks into smaller steps, etc. I am SO beyond impressed with these apps and there features, and I am thrilled to have found them to start my year off right!Show lessMissgazz
Reliable & Elegant
Great app in terms of markdowns & note taking, ability to share. Customer always seems to respond in a day or so 👍🏼.
But my problem is that the Calendar view is so small. Why can’t we resize. This is not a complicated request. I also don’t understand why we can’t choose alternative alert tones. I mean the standard & only choice alert is so low. Again not a hard request respectfully. And prob the biggest issue which they state they are aware of which has been going on forever is the repeat to-do part. Every time you choose a date then request for it to repeat it changes the date. So un-productive. Also wish when snoozing a alert they would space out the options like other apps not sure why this hasn’t been fixed either idk. Kinda a sad that they don’t listen to others requests. Because I’m not asking for extras just adjusting to existing ones. I also wish they had a web version because you can’t rely on a app to work always. But other then that the app is nice to use always seems reliable.Show lessR91240sx
On big problem
I love this app, however unless I am missing something it has a major failing. It does not display my tasks in the time order, i.e. if I have a task due at 8am and a task due at 10am they can appear with the 10am task listed first, for this reason I keep going back to iOS Reminders app.53B852
Restore this option
I used to be able to have Things open with Today. However, now it opens at the full menu list. Please restore my original option. I am unable to get it in Settings.OldDeacon
I prefer Todoist
This app is expensive and not as useful as Todoist. The killer feature of Todoist is that it runs everywhere, including Windows and in the browser. This is critical when you need to quickly get a thought out of your head and into the list.
On my work PC I use the browser app because I don’t want to install anything personal. On my home PC I have the Windows app and it’s a quick global shortcut to open up a dialog to add a task, no matter what application I’m in. And of course there’s the iOS, iPadOS and Apple Watch apps when those are convenient.
The other thing is that Todoist has a free tier which still covers basically everything I need, ad-free. Things is pricey. Buying it once isn’t too bad, but then you want it on another device, and another, and my wife wants to install it, etc. And in the end you’re paying a small fortune. Take a look at how expensive it is on Mac and convince yourself that either it’s worth it or that you’re comfortable just always having to reach for your phone or iPad every time you want to note something in the list, where it’s more difficult to type and paste links etc.Show lessMike9725

Yes, there’s no version of Things for Windows or Web. Sorry if that wasn’t clear before. Thanks for your other feedback!So useful and well-designed!
I use the Things iPhone/Watch app and Mac software to stay organised and it's by far the best to-do list program I've found 🙂 It has plenty of features like tags and repeating events, but has a clean easy to use design at the same time. Dark mode is beautiful, I love the filtering by tags (especially the interface on the Mac app), and being able to quickly add a task on my Mac using a keyboard shortcut is really useful.
It's almost perfect but I would love if:
- You could collapse headings.
- You could set location-based reminders (and/or other smart reminders, like weather-based).
- You could choose a few lists that can be viewed on the Watch app, not just the today view. For example I have a weekly and monthly task list that I'd love to be able to view on my Watch!
Overall though a great to-do app, suggestions are just me being nit-picky hahaShow lessEm Constance
Simply perfect. Almost…
I have to say that I love this app and don’t know how I’ve survived so long without it. I love the simple concept of typing up a thing you want to do, then assigning it to a day in the future so you don’t have to worry about it until then. Building out projects is a great way to keep track of things as well. I especially love the ability to integrate the Apple Calendar into the app so I can see everything at once.
I do have one small gripe though. I use this app to keep track of regular monthly bills and when they are coming due. My current system is that I pay forward all the bills that are due before my next paycheck. This ensures I’m always early. However, there’s no way to mark a recurring task as complete before they populate in the Today field. This means I have to keep track of which bills I’ve paid in my head until they come due and I can check them off. It’s very annoying. Other task apps I’ve used allowed me to check them off early, so why not this one?
Unfortunately, this one thing, while small, is so annoying that it affects my overall headspace, so until it’s fixed I can only give it 4 stars.Show lessyungstud
Not too shabby
After years of relying solely on the stock reminders, things 3 can come as a nice refresher for what a to do app can do and look like. What things does better than reminders for me: more granular time settings, there’s no “deadline” and “someday” in reminders. The ability to create to dos through email can also come in handy.
It is a bit more complicated to set up recurring events, having to tap the three dots at bottom and finish the setup before exiting a new to do in order to avoid duplicates. Also, not complaining but not a power user and I would never pay thrice for the exact same app just to be able to use cross device. Wish this app continue to stay true to the non-subscription pricing model.Show lessplatinum_coast
