Best To-Do list App On The App Store

I love the app I just wish there was a way to sync it across apple devices somehow, so I can open my macbook and see my to do list and calendars there as well. Hopefully this is something the developers will integrate soon because once that happens there is no going back!

Great app!!!

Love this app!!!

Very good app

This is a well-designed app that helps me to get the most important tasks done. A lot of thought and effort has gone into it and I appreciate all the details the developers have included. Well done and highly recommended.

Thank you for the review Taylor! Definitely yes, I’m working on adding more options for repeating tasks. I have added this feature as requested on the pipeline for upcoming updates. Please always feel free to reach out with more feature requests. Thank you for using Firstly

Отлично!

Красивый дизайн, отличная функциональность, возможность настроить организацию дел и задач по своим потребностям.

Great app

With a resonable price model and a unique setup

Thank you so much for the review. Please do not hesitate to also sending us feature requests, bug spotted, and any feedback at support@focuscove.com

Ide buona ma

L'idea di per sé è ottima e l'applicazione è ben fatta. L'unica cosa negativa è l'assenza della lingua italiana e il fatto di dover pagare gli add-on nonostante si sia già pagato per la versione premium. Sarebbe bello anche avere la possibilità di utilizzare l'applicazione su desktop.

Response from developer

Ciao a tutti, grazie per la recensione. Il supporto all'italiano e ad altre lingue è qualcosa che accadrà presto. Al momento stiamo lavorando sulle versioni iPad e Mac. si prega di rimanere sintonizzati. Grazie mille per aver utilizzato Firstly.

Greatest Productivity App ever!

WOULD GIVE 10 STARS IF I COULD!

The designer’s focus on helping people stay focused on their one BIG goal is huge! And something I haven’t seen in other apps. It’s good to see mine before planning my day and helps me make better decisions on what matters and what doesn’t.

In a world where collecting data on people has become so ubiquitous it’s refreshing to find startups that still value privacy as a basic human right. They don’t even ask for an email.

When I click browse the app crashes

This has happened twice now in the past 24hrs. I would click browse and the app just crashes. It only would let me interact with the today section. This started happening shortly after I purchased the subscription for the app and after adding a 5th project. Even after closing app and opening it back up that doesn’t resolve the issue. So, I decided to delete & redownload. This temporarily resolves the issue but, when I go back in app after set up a considerable amount of recent data is wiped rendering this app unusable at the moment & waste of time. I’m writing this review to let the Dev know about this issue. The UI & functionality is great so hopefully this can be fixed soon. Till then I will have to move on to something else.

I love it!

First todo app I have used that does not ask for my personal information. Plus the design is beautiful and I love the different prioritizers. It really helps me see the importance of things differently. Highly recommend!

Very good.

I like how easy it is to learn this app. And, I appreciate the idea of buying it outright with one payment, no subscriptions. Unfortunately, I am about to switch to a Samsung phone. I wonder if this will eventually come to android.

Very impressive!!!

This app is well designed and brings something new to the table when it comes to prioritizing. Yet, it still doesn’t require a monthly or yearly subscription and I love its privacy. The app literally doesn’t even ask for emails.

Nice touch with the daily quote. It’s just the boost I need before looking at my day’s schedule.

I really hope it stays the same. Good job to the developer. Very impressive indeed!

Thank you Rick! We take privacy to the highest level. I’m glad to know that you appreciate it. Also we will keep on improving prioritizers, user experience and Firstly overall. Your warm review is truly encouraging! Thank you

Almost there for me

Works great and is very helpful to me. The only thing lacking is customizable repeating tasks. The app offers repeats but they are basic and I need to be able to add something like “every third Wednesday” for example and there is no way to do that. Hope it is being worked on.

Almost Brilliant

For many years I have used expensive ‘branded’ apps for the same purpose as Firstly.
Congratulations to the developer for competing with the best on their grounds. Thank You for not requiring subscription, membership or eMail and personal details for using it.
Eventually those who switch to Firstly would like to have an app that doesn’t just give notifications on Apple Watch but has its own complication and a two way communication with the watch.
iPad version of this app would be helpful.
It is absolutely essential to add the option to export and import calendar and reminder details from Apple’s own apps else there is needless effort and duplication to enter the events and task information due to the functionality gap.
This is an excellent app at a sensible price with some room for improvement !

Response from developer

Hello Emediq, Thank you so much for your review. I’m so grateful that you are using Firstly. And your ideas/suggestions are so great and true that I’m already working on them. It might take a couple months before their are completed and tested but they are coming soon. Including a Watch app and sharing/collaboration. Meanwhile a major update is coming up soon related to user experience. By the way, you can already import Apple Reminders to Firstly from the Settings page. I am studying new ways to implement Calendars that will be Firstly worthy. A way that you could also prioritize Calendar events for example. I’m confident that I will get to the bottom of it soon enough. Thank you again.

Well designed, most customizable

I’ve tried so many organizer apps. This one far exceeds them all with its customizability. I also appreciate the aesthetics. The developers are quite ingenious. This is a must-try. You won’t regret it.

User friendly

Best app ever! It’s easy to use and helps me keep track of my daily tasks! I highly recommend it!

Interesting

It feels very basic…almost like an app for senior year.

Con add-on

He pagado por lifetime, pero aún así tiene temas y cosas de pago. Me parece tener mucha cara. Encima seguro que seguirá sacando más cosas de pago y esto no acaba nunca. Es una pena.

Response from developer

Hola, mis disculpas por cualquier confusión. Como se menciona en la página de compra, la versión de por vida desbloquea todas las funciones actuales y futuras de la aplicación y viene con 7 bonos adicionales (3 priorizadores diferentes y 4 temas de proyecto).

Free Version doesn‘t allow prioritizing

I downloaded a bunch of similar prioritizing apps today to try out which fits me most to help with my adhd.
I was impressed with the description and the pictures, so I downloaded this one too.
Sadly it just allows full functionality in the paid version, so I can‘t test it before purchasing.
Very disappointing.
I’m going back for a closer view now. Maybe my adhd overlooked something?

Response from developer

Hello, I’m sorry about your initial experience with Firstly but I want to check if you have tried the seven days free trial. It won’t charge your card at all. The free trial unlocks all the features of the app including 3 prioritizers and 4 project themes for seven days to check if the app is a good fit. Plus, this free trial is different because at the end of it, your card will not be charged automatically like most apps do. After seven days of using the app for free, instead of being stuck in a subscription, you could buy the lifetime access for a one-time price. Also, after purchasing the lifetime access, if you are displeased, you could ask for a refund within 30days. Please get in touch at support@focuscove.com for even further support. Should you like the features, could you rate the app again?

Outstanding task manager

I am a traveling healthcare professional and this app really does everything you need it too. This helps me stay on top of tasks and priorities. I will be going back to school soon for additional credentials and I know having this app will relieve some of the stress with deadlines and projects. I highly recommend this app and i look forward to the morning quotes everyday!
