Still the best

Sure, the sync doesn’t work anymore but it remains the best simple and easy To-Do app. Have been using it for years and hope to continue using it.

Functional, but why not more intervals for nagging

I have used this app for 10 years, and for the most part, I quite like it. But why the hell aren’t there more nag intervals than every minute or every hour? There’s 58 other numbers that could be put there. Sometimes I’m busy at the moment an alert happens, and can’t accomplish the task, which leads me to either have to just let my phone continually chirp at me (annoying, also the banner blocks map instructions, which is inconvenient while driving), change the task time (annoying to do, changes for all instances of that task so I have to reset it later) or check the task off (and then I don’t actually get reminded when I am able to perform the task. Please give us the option to nag every 5 minutes and every 15 minutes so that we’re not stuck with three bad options.

Dseniorh

Love it. Helps me stay on track with all I have going on.

Errands

Needs a slider to facilitate repositioning tasks or make the "eye" icon do what it is supposed to do as described on the FAQ's. Then you would have a beautiful app!

Thanks you Apple👏

To keep this app alive and well! It is appreciated

iPad vs iPhone

iPad version does not sync consistently with iPhone version

Errands - simple & complex

Errands allows complexity or simplicity. You are in the driver’s seat to remember your stuff. Love it!

My data disappeared

My data disappeared. I followed the instructions and clicked on my latest backup. The app did nothing, just closed. Please provide assistance in restoring my data.
Prior to this happening, I really liked the app

Good but..

Great simple app but cannot sync between devices. Have followed all suggestions to no avail. Help!!

This is the best app I own

This is by far the most useful and best app. I use it daily. It keeps me organized and really helps me stay on track with what I need to do and when I need to do it. It is so simple to use, but does everything I need it to do. If I need to remember anything from when to send a birthday greeting to changing the furnace filter is all here waiting for me on the exact day I need to remember to do it. Such a perfect app!

Simply great

It's simple and it works great. I occasionally try out other "to do" apps but invariably they're either to convoluted or lack a basic function I need so I keep on coming back.

I lost ALL my data and there is no backup!

I’ve used this for several years but lost EVERYTHING AND THERE WAS NO BACKUP. This was a good app
But it is poorly supported. I’m going back to Reminders. I’ve never lost data on that

Warning

This is a great app and I’ve been using it for about 10 years. Unfortunately I think I’ve now lost all data built up over the last year. The current version doesn’t seem to be behaving properly on iPhone 16e and crashes when I try to load a backup. I deleted the app and reinstalled to get it working and now found it won’t synchronize from iCloud. The iPhone has auto backed up in the meantime so tje iCloud backup has now gone. Hence all recent data lost and currently unable to load an old backup from last year.

Till fix suggest if you have problems wait till a new release fixes the problem and don’t delete the app from the iPhone as may not be able to reload. Strangely last years emailed backup will install on my iPad but not the iPhone.

Love it! Love it! Love it!

Flexible, user-friendly, efficient, practical. Great way to keep track of appointments, errands & to-do's, even shopping lists. And the Help is actually helpful—something rare in an app.
Updated review: After several years of using Errands, I find it is my most-used app. So well thought out, so many useful features. Best calendar/reminder/to-do app imo.

It was great

This app was great, until the dev stopped updating 10 years ago. Now the half of the screen in app is black.

Love it!

Great app, easy to use, and keeps all my "to dos" in one place. I've had it for years. I don't think it's IOS 11 compatible, so I'll probably have to stop using it.

Used to work, now it does not sync

I used to use this and get results from the paid version. Now it will not sync on my iPad. I have tried MANY things to get it work and sync again. Finally, I found this in the FAQ: 5) iCloud Sync continues to work well for Alarmed, but some users of Errands have experienced sync problems on iOS 26. I haven't found a solution at this time.

Awesome

Works great. I love this app. I use it everyday.

Not syncing with my primary (iPhone) and iPad (secondary) after latest update!

I've used this app for years now and for some reason after the latest iOS update the app does not sync between my devices. Very frustrating! I like the app but can’t understand why it is not working properly.

Don’t recommend

I used this app for years. Right before my trip, I made a list and the app suddenly erased everything out of nowhere. Extremely frustrating.
