Leave a Review Things 3
Love it!
Only thing I would recommend is a tag browser. Perhaps a horizontally scrolling one. And show count for each tag. That way you can see, for example, how many pending tasks you have at a glance. Ideally there should be a "Waiting" list as per the original GTD guide. Nice work :)notaweenie

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain to us how we can improve the apps even further – we really appreciate it.Dream come True
I am one of those who seldom spare time to write reviews. By the way in the 7+ years I have been an Apple products consumer, this is probably the third time at most I am writing a review for an App.
I have dreamed for an app like this one many years before. I used to scan the App Store to download top rated apps, but I could never find the type of app I was looking for. They just weren’t practical. For instance sometimes you want to write down something that just popped in your head. You don’t want to worry about figuring out then if it’s a reminder or a To-do or just a note. You don’t want to worry about setting it for a specific day and a specific time. You just want to quickly jot it down in your To-dos/ reminder/ notes and be able to easily access it and take care of details later.
I had given up on my hope of finding an app that would solve this type issue. So for the past few years, I had just been relying on the iOS default note app.
I have been using this app now for a few months and it has everything I have ever dreamed of in a To-do/ reminder app. Honestly I am beyond satisfied. I have now found “the piece of resistance of my existence”!!Show lessbkgadam
Needs location support
Good but needs location support for proximity based reminders.Victoria4S
In awe of this app
I am in awe of this application. Paired with Things on all my iOS devices and my Mac (yeah, I'm one of those folk!), Things has really revolutionised my habits. Once upon a time I continuously put off completing tasks, and was crazy forgetful about everything. Now, I simply rely upon Things to remember for me, and to prod me into doing stuff on time.
It took a while to actually form the habit of listing my to-dos in the app, but once I started, it became almost automatic. Things has also become so beautiful over the years, especially the new Dark Mode. The design and intuition that’s gone into it is stunning. I love it, and recommend it to everyone. One thing I would really like to draw attention to is the sync speed between devices — it is SO fast. I honestly don’t know how they manage it.
It's only now that I'm writing a review (something I never do!), but as a result I can vouch that Things is one of the best apps I've used over a multi-year period. To think that the team are still adding small quality of life features every now and then! I think it’s perfect already, but you can be sure they’ll think of something.Show lessJTG~G
Elegant and efficient
After months or even years of deliberating I finally switched from Appigo Todo to Things a few weeks back. Why did I take so long? The decision took a while because I had to transfer hundreds of items manually as Appigo offers no export. Indeed, this was one of the reasons to switch, I don’t like being bound to an app.
I have never looked back. Things is brilliant. It works smoothly in the background on desktop and phone, does the job with no fuss and minimal effort, and it’s even pretty to look at.
Absolutely love it. I can see that this will be a constant for me for the next decade.Show lessBernd.Meyer
Thought the app was too pricey, until I got so much stuff done.
I was looking for an app that would help me stay on task with ease. I downloaded so many task apps before but I couldn’t stay on task, I’d enter my list and just didn’t complete them. Why did I took the risk of getting this expensive app?? Was I gullible ? I guess so. But something was different, I got stuff done !! everyday every week so far. What you do is type any idea that comes up. Then you move it around to whenever you want to compete it, that’s it! But why is it so expensive for such a simple task ? I gave it 5 stars because I competed every task that I’ve been listing for 1 month now. My only suggestion is how about sharing the task with other people in household?
I just discovered that I can share the list by scrolling down so that it opens up a move task bar and clicking on the “. . .” . I’m very happy with this app and of course there’s always room for improvement.Show lessMommyKun
Maybe not
I bought this as a replacement for iOS reminders only because I wanted a useful complication for the Apple Watch. Unfortunately the complication I had hoped to use (infograph, center stage) gives as much space to a big unsightly logo and the text ‘things’ as it does to actual useful info from the app. I’m so unhappy with the way my watchface now looks, that I would just rather go back to iOS reminders. Why not just show me my next two goals instead? Why do I want to see your logo? The progress bar also seems meaningless.Show lessLily Marie K

Hey Lily, Thanks for reaching out and leaving a comment. The new Infograph Modular watch face which was introduced with the Series 4 watch actually is a template that is given to developers by Apple. That means we cannot control what it shows, we can only fill it with the content it allows us to use. That's why we can only show the app name and one to-do--it's what the template prescribes. But you can always use the original Modular watch face: it was designed by Apple to allow for more content and it will show you three to-dos at a time if you use the center complication.Why didn’t I find this sooner?
Let me start this by saying I’m one of those people that never leave written reviews. I had to give praise where praise is due though.
First of all, I am a very visual person so even if I found an app with perfect functionality, I wouldn’t use it if I didn’t like how it looked. However, this app combines functionality with a nice sleek design that’s not only easy to look at but, easy to use. I’m SUPER picky about to-Do apps and I have been on a search for “the one” for literally years. I think I’ve found it though. They allow you to customize And organize your to-do’s in a myriad of ways. For instance, my favorite thing so far is the Ability to set “Projects” and in those projects, you can not only add notes and headings to keep the todos organized but, on the main screen of the app, there’s a small circle to show your progress on the todo’s inside. I absolutely love this app and had to let y’all know you did an amazing job.Show lessEnrapture137
This is a great app but not quite perfect
Firstly, I recommend this app. If you’re using it for yourself as an individual or self employed professional on your own it’s fab. I have it for both iPhone and iPad and it’s great (I don’t have a Mac).
So I did have three things but the excellent customer support told me how to use the slightly hidden intelligent language parsing in the date picker. So two of three minor issues solved. Great first class customer support too.
So that leaves the most annoying issue for me, which is task order in the today list, or the upcoming list for that matter. There should be the choice to order these by time of reminder as well as date (in the upcoming list’s case it does group tasks by due day but not reminder time). It especially annoys me on the today list. Just an option in settings to turn on sorting by reminder time would be perfect for me. Personally I’d like to have no due time tasks first in today then tasks with a due time below in order of due time getting later towards the bottom of the list. Having to keep manually reordering things each day is a little tiresome. It’s good that I’m reviewing all the tasks each morning but still, some automation for list order would be super useful and would personally save me that extra little bit of time.
But other than this grumble I love the app. Fav task management app that I use daily for personal and work tasks. The Apple Watch app integration is great too.Show lessJ-1-M-B-0
Only One Day View on my Watch?!?!?
I took the plunge and paid the $9.99 for this app and immediately regretted my purchase. Wanted a to-do app that would sit in my complication area of my Apple Watch that Uses Siri to enter to-do’s. Che k, it does that but.....and a big but...it sends the to-do to an “In Box” on the app on my iPhone. I did see that I change from In Box to Today but it’s not easy to switch between them on my phone as the lettering is tiny (smaller than other words and sitting just above the task-that’s too easy to tap). Then you have to go to your phone to move it to a day, and the app asks ‘are you sure you want to move this?’ Adding another few steps and time to a simple entry...that’s self defeating. Then I CANNOT see anything beyond the current day’s to-do’s on my phone....I find that very limiting. I need to be able to scroll down to at least a week’s worth of to-dos. So I can PLAN for those events before that day...not a far fetched idea. This app could be useful but at the moment( in my opinion) this app is better suited to the iPhone and NOT the Apple Watch. I wish I could get my money back on this one. Doesn’t do what I need or enough for the cost.Show lessZeusman
