### 5/5 — Awesome to do app

*2023-03-23*

This is by the the best app to organize tasks.  So much better than google tasks, outlook tasks, etc.  

I have a whole bunch of apps to help organize my time. This is by far the best app I have found.    Customer service is awesome as well. Highly recommended!!

### 1/5 — Not bug free

*2020-09-02, version 2.44*

This app obviously hasn’t been supported for some time.
 Firstly the “day” & “month “ views show different days for the same day, for example Friday in one view and Thursday in another. 
Also there is no way to link the tasks to your Device Calenders which means you have to check the program to see what’s due. 
I tried contacting the developer but didn’t get a reply, which tends to suggest he’s no longer interested in the app. 
I’ve applied for a refund, not something I do very often

### 1/5 — Problems.

*2019-07-13, version 2.44*

App crashes.  Note text just disappears repeatedly!  I have never had problems like this before.  Please fix.

### 4/5 — Generally works well, issues with syncing

*2018-10-27, version 2.44*

I've tried a number of todo apps, but this is the one I actually use. The features make sense. Unfortunately I’ve run into issues with syncing lately, which is an essential feature.

### 4/5 — Love this!!

*2018-07-20*

I love this app and it’s flexibility in organizing multiple tasks, assignments and folders.   It even lets me share folding with others for collaboration.  

This app would be perfect if we could attach pictures or PDF’s.  Five star for perfect when we have that ability.

### 5/5 — Awesome to do app

*2018-06-28, version 2.42*

I have a whole bunch of apps to help organize my time.   

This is by far the best app I have found.  

Customer service is awesome as well.  

Highly recommended!!

### 1/5 — Issues

*2018-06-13*

Not sure whats going on but the app is not opening at all and just purchased it!  Help!!

### 5/5 — Unbelievably Good Customer Service!

*2018-02-16*

This is a great app with many useful features.  What’s more, should you have a question or a problem Christian Stone, the developer, is unbelievably responsive.  Highly recommend this app!

### 4/5 — Unique and effective

*2017-12-11, version 1.92*

This app is unlike any todo or task app I've used. A series of recent updates may have brought it to light in the App Store and I decided to try it out. I'm impressed. It's quirky in style, but I think I'm going to stick with it. Think of it like this. You organise your life into a set of folders. Inside each folder you may have projects, tasks, notes, checklists. Then you have this friendly app that sorts through all of those things in every folder and presents you with a list of items you ought to work on or monitor now. There is a lot more to the app. There are also oddities to get used to, but I'm finding it works for me very well. I hope the developer keeps up the momentum on it now and continues with it because it really is a unique and clever app at its core.

### 3/5 — My favorite organizational app!

*2017-11-13, version 1.92*

I LOVE the color-coded folders! I love the different ways I can create folders, lists, notes. I've never had any problems with this app. It is my favorite organizational app!
Update Nov 12 2017
The new iPhone X screen is less than idea for this app - I can't easily add new tasks from the task view - the iPhone X information displayed to the left of the notch partially covers the ,"+" symbol.

Is there any way to drop that feature down a little further?
