Simply excellent
Easy to use with out having to have a degree in computers. Simple but very effective way to keep everything you need to do, remember and schedule. Recommend!!Jerseha
Great App for Projects, Reoccuring lists and Referral
I love the app on iphone. It’s a bit pricey to get it on my Mac so i’m not sure if i will buy it on there. It’s a shame because i love the layout of this app however there is not an option to access it online. It would be so helpful if you were without your laptop one day and you wanted to open it up online from a different computer. Plus sometimes i like to copy and paste my notes from my icloud notes onto work i do on my laptop. It would be awesome if you guys provided the option to access from anywhere after paying the fee.Show lessNiggaplsomg
Easily the best task manager I have ever used
Not only is it filled to the brim with actually useful features, it has such a fluid and clean interface that it is a delight to actually plan my days.bry.jiang
Wipes the floor with other task apps
I’ve tried a lot of task managers and it was such a relief to find Things. It has features that seem really essential and obvious, yet are missing from other apps.
Like separate start dates and due dates. You can plan when to start working on a task and also add a deadline.
Projects can be completed and have start and due dates. So can the tasks inside them. So for example you might set up a project to run through February and March, then have tasks for different stages of the project.
I’ve tried some newer apps just to compare and found myself utterly confused about how to plan what tasks I’ll do when while also tracking deadlines, and how to set up projects when the only options are a task or a list that can’t be completed.
You can also add headings in projects - good for visual arrangement and you can also do things like drag-and-drop, move or archive a heading along with all its associated tasks.
Other good things about Things: view your calendars in their respective colours, URL scheme that you can use to link from other apps, nested tags, beautiful calm design, view logged tasks easily. I don’t want lots of busy colours and noise, or gamification - just simplicity. I’ve been so much more productive since I started using this app. Give it a try you won’t regret it!Show lessstripedrabbits
Sadly, this won’t quite do it for me
This is a beautiful app and I love how it approaches tasks and projects which is why I give it 3 stars instead of less. But there isn’t enough functional integration with calendar to make this useful for me. I can see my calendar items but can’t open them or do anything with them which leaves me to have to jump to another app to work with meeting invites and other calendar items. This is a fatal flaw with this app for me, sadly.
I’ve been on Informant Pro for years since that app integrates calendar and tasks so well. But have been trying to find something else that is more elegant and simpler. I thought this was going to be it until I discovered how severely limited it is with respect to calendar. Oh well, the search continues, and another $10 down the drain.
Edit: I’ve come back again to Things 3 because it seems that I’ve become sort of hooked on how extraordinarily well it handles tasks. I’ve decided to try to live with using a separate calendar app along with Things and see how it goes. Hopefully in the future the authors will consider adding at least some ability to edit or even open calendar items in Things. Meanwhile I try this setup.Show lessJakkDiddly
Brilliant to-do app
I’ve used a range of to-do apps over the years eventually settling on one that worked well across platforms and was free (and supported moveable sub tasks). However, Things is functionally richer with a more enjoyable interface. It does what I need for simple tasks as well as for more complex situations.
In particular I like being able to slide up the blue + symbol and add a task to where I want (eg on a particular day in the upcoming calendar view, or to a particular project (sliding up the + in the anytime view).
Also handy is being able to do a voice input to add a task to Things using my Apple Watch.Show lessAMPOST
Love this app!!
I downloaded Things 3 a few days ago and am already loving it. Reminders I had already set have been imported from the Reminders app and were very easily sorted into ones to keep, remove or make recurring. I love that I can see my calendar in the app so that I can plan my to dos around any meetings or appointments I have. I have been able to easily create areas allowing me to keep work, home and school to dos separate, add tags to each to do so I can find them easily, set deadlines for to dos and projects and set reminders for recurring to dos. The only thing I feel is missing that I really want to be able to do is attach emails, documents and notes to a to do or project.
Thanks for creating such an easy to setup, use and navigate productivity app that will keep event the most disorganised person (me) organised!Show lessSkuttlebut
Two steps forward, one step back.
This is an amazing app, but I'm puzzled at the latest Apple Watch complication choices. Branding has been prioritised over usefulness. I'm already using the app, I don't need anyone to sell it to me.
For example, on the circular infograph complications, the big Things icon is a checkmark with a progress bar around it. Why isn't that checkmark just a number of remaining items? I already know I'm using Things.
Also the middle complication of the Infograph Modular face has gotten less useful for some reason. Now instead of a list of three items, you can only see one, and a progress bar of limited usefulness. It had more value for me to be able to see other items I can complete out of order, than it has for me to see I'm half way through for the day. I like progress bars, but I like actual information much more.Show lessMilorad Ivovic
Looks great. Works perfectly!
It’s a pleasure to use from the icon on. Visually appealing. Easy to use. And wicked fast. Constant updates. X URL callbacks means it fits into my daily workflow with out friction. Lastly no subscription! I would rather pay a lot more for a quality app than constantly paying subscriptions.
Purchase now!Show lessPCompers
I love it but there’s just one thing missing.
So I’m loving this app so far, I was just using the built in reminders app on iOS and it’s pretty barebones in comparison. BUT there is something that the iOS reminders have that Things doesn’t: persistent banner notification! The thing I love about the built in reminders is when a reminder pops up it will stay there all day on your lock screen until you complete it, that way every time I look at my phone I get reminded!! I really miss that as I have to open the app to check my to do if the reminder time has passed.Show lessNickoBlayde
