### 3/5 — Ok

*2026-08-24, version 8.3.6*

Ok

### 4/5 — Locura de app

*2026-07-10, version 8.2.6*

La verdad que me la descargué para ver qué tal, como hago con muchas, y esta se nota que es diferente, que está hecha con IA y ya es un gran salto y diferencia frente a las app antiguas que no podías hacer prácticamente nada… 

Mis felicitaciones la verdad!!! Seguir dándole caña y mejorándolo para hacerla más User Friendly, mejorar la UX y añadir más features… Porque de momento una pasada 👌🏽

### 5/5 — 추천해요.

*2026-07-04, version 8.2.5*

아주 좋은 앱이네요! 궁금한 게 생겨서 메일을 보내 봤는데 정확한 답변을 받을 수 있어요. 요즘 전부 구독제인데 이렇게 업뎃 잘 되는 앱을 평생 구매할 수 있게 해 주셔서 감사합니다.

### 4/5 — does what I need, and keeps improving

*2026-06-24, version 8.2.3*

This app does what I want, is frequently updated with fixes and new features, is less expensive than other to-do apps, is flexible to handle either complex filtering or subtasks or just simple lists when you need them, allows me to continue using the native Reminders app for sharing lists, and has options to buy all features once, to support with a subscription, or to just support in single payments when you want. (Which means those of us with the means to support can opt in, and those who can’t afford an ongoing subscription are still able to access all features for a one-time payment.)

### 3/5 — Stops alerting me

*2026-06-15, version 8.2.2*

It just stops alerting me for no reason. I can’t figure out why

### 5/5 — Beste Alltagshilfe um Aufgaben zu erledigen!

*2026-05-21, version 8.2.1*

Anfangs war ich etwas skeptisch und auch bis ich alles entdeckt und perfekt für mich eingerichtet hatte hat es kurz gedauert. Aber jetzt möchte ich diese App auf keinen Fall mehr missen. Mit dieser App schaffe ich es tatsächlich, meine Aufgaben zu erledigen und Kalendertermine einzuhalten. Danke dafür ❤️

### 4/5 — Great app but..

*2026-04-23, version 8.2.1*

Been using since fall of 2025. App was excellent, worthy of 5 star review. Recently, performance issues have been popping up while on latest iphone air, ios updated, app fully updated. The lag has been getting really bad. I’ve tried deleting old tasks, ensuring secrets in advanced features are not turned on… 
 Hoping next update will fix. 

If they fix performance, 5 star app for sure.

### 5/5 — Great Task App

*2026-04-19, version 8.2.1*

Love this app

### 5/5 — Sehr praktisch

*2026-04-12, version 8.2.1*

Es ist sehr praktisch und es gefällt mir sehr gut

### 5/5 — Best list

*2026-04-06, version 8.2.1*

Easy to use and synchronized with reminders well.

### 5/5 — Beste App mit Scrum Board

*2026-04-06, version 8.2.1*

Das Scrum Board erlaubt das Verschieben von Aufgaben, mit einem Tisch. Alle Aufgaben sind leicht zugänglich und veränderbar.

Meine Empfehlung: alle wichtigen Aufgaben zeitlich zu ordnen. Die manuelle Verschiebung auf dem Scrum Board ist sehr einfach. Die Zeiten ändern sich von alleine. Man muss sich nicht unbedingt an die Zeiten halten, die so verschoben werden, der Vorteil darin liegt darin, dass die Aufgaben so nicht verschwinden und aus dem Blickfeld geraten.

### 5/5 — Schon fast genial

*2026-04-04, version 8.2.0*

Einfach die schon vorhandenen Fähigkeiten von iOS zu nutzen und sie durch umfangreiche Filter und Ansichten zu ergänzen, ist eine geniale Idee. Zu jeder selbst oder automatisch erstellten Liste gibt es acht Ansichten. Zudem lassen sich Termine aus dem Kalender einblenden, was eine gute und übersichtliche Planung auch großer Aufgabenmengen möglich macht. Der Fokus läßt sich auf den Tag legen und minutiös planen. Der große Vorteil ist die umfangreiche Personalisierung, die hier vorgenommen werden kann. Das braucht am Anfang zwar Zeit, die wird aber durch gut geplante Tage belohnt. 

Getting Things Done ist hier kein Problem.

Nachdem ich diese App nun ein paar Tage benutzt habe, gibt es wegen einiger Ungereimtheiten und Bugs einen Stern Abzug.

Sie hat Potenzial, aber zu viele Baustellen.

Nachtrag:

Wegen vieler Updates wieder volle 5 Sterne.

### 4/5 — Promising Task Manager with Room for Improvement

*2026-03-30, version 8.2.0*

It’s a decent app with many productivity features.
I’ve personally never liked apps that hijack your Reminders and force you to use them as a way of managing your tasks, but this one is particularly well done. 
Unfortunately the biggest drawback is feature parity between the two apps. Things like subtasks, URLs, and photos can be added in either Reminders or GoodTask, but not usable in the other app.
If this can be remedied, I’d definitely consider this app a worthwhile task manager.

### 5/5 — 奥深い！

*2026-03-28, version 8.2.0*

単なるカレンダー➕リマインダーではない。標準アプリとの連携は前提として、リマインダーの中にサブTODOを入れられたり、年や月の目標や、日々目標、役割なども入力できる。集中するためにいくつもあるTODOの中でも次にやるものだけ表示したりもできる。
アレンジまで意識され、ワンタッチでリマインダーの時間やタグを設定できる。
標準的な使い方から、マニアックな時間管理、タスク管理まで対応している稀有なアプリ。

### 5/5 — 꾸준한 업데이트+이거 하나로 일정관리 끝

*2026-03-27*

리뷰 한번도 안써봤는데 이번 업데이트 보고 진짜 좋아서 리뷰 씁니다!  이 앱 하나면 모든 일정관리가 너무 편해집니다. 보조로 쓰고 있던 앱 싹 다 지웠네요 깔끔하고 필요한 기능 다 있고  최고요!

### 5/5 — I love this app! Thanks so much

*2026-03-27, version 8.2.0*

I love this app, takes a while to get used to, and I’m still learning it. But I can see already with the customisation and flexibility that it’s a winner!

### 4/5 — Good app. Amazingly useful. But…

*2026-03-20, version 8.1.7*

It’s got so many features as to be overwhelming in its complexity. It’s got so many options, that figuring out how to make it do what you want it to do is sometimes extremely difficult.  It could use major improvement and how you create filters. If you want to create a filter that has “AND” and “OR” logic in it, be prepared to spend a lot of time trying things out, because the app’s filter logic is schizophrenic.

### 5/5 — Супер! Класс!

*2026-03-18*

Супер классное и удобное приложение. Постоянно что то скачивала для удобства. И тут попалось это приложение, удалила все и построила свою систему только на заметках и напоминаниях, все это объединила через goodtask. Это просто сказочное удобство, которое не описать. больше ничего не надо, настолько все удобно, ничего лишнего, отдельное спасибо за виджеты. Спасибо за приложение, однозначно покупка!

### 4/5 — You can make it as complex or as simple as you’d like

*2026-03-06, version 8.1.6*

I’ve been trying this out the last few days. I had a few issues setting up a replica of Linear sprints (work stuff) but for personal tasks. Developer is unbelievably responsive and helpful. Completely solved my issue.

It requires some patience, but is a remarkably powerful tool. Considering it’s essentially a visual layer over your iOS reminders, it’s remarkable.

I love that they don’t read your data. E2E encryption on iOS reminders, and therefore here as well.

Very fairly priced. Thank you. Looking forward to a bit of polish on the configuration logic over the next year.

### 1/5 — Useless for me

*2026-02-19, version 8.1.6*

I need a reminder app that is separate from my calendar and reminders, because… I already have a calendar and microsoft reminders. For some strange reason this app refuses to function unless I give it access to these other apps. Why? Why can’t I use it solely for separate tasks I assign it?  Is this a spy app? Hmmmm?

### 1/5 — Nada útil

*2025-12-12, version 8.1.6*

Necesariamente debes dar permisos a tus recordatorios de iOS; si quieres una app para otro tipo de tareas, no te vale, si o si tienes que ver todos los recordatorios de iOS. Quería usar para cuestiones personales la de iOS y esta para trabajo, y no es posible. A parte que ni siquiera puedes probar la app sin pagar, vayas donde vayas resalta laceraba para pagar los 22,49€.

### 1/5 — Strong privacy concerns!

*2025-10-23, version 8.1.4*

This app advertises proudly that it has no ads. It’s also cheaper than competitors. That made me wonder how they earn a profit, until I launched this simple to do app and discovered you can’t do anything until you give this company full access to your calendar and your reminders.  You will receive an error and be unable to use and native calendar, reminder, or to do function of this app unless you give them permission to see ALL of your personal data. Absolutely not! I’m staying as far away from this app and this company as possible.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-10-05, version 8.1.3*

Every time I mark something done, you put it back. What's the point?

### 1/5 — Has crashed every time last two weeks

*2025-10-03, version 8.1.3*

Used to love this app now hate it with a passion. App is worthless has crashed every single time I try to use it for the last two weeks. Have made my comments known before with no help from devekoper

### 1/5 — Great with annoying bug

*2025-09-01*

I’m premium user but missing hourly reminder option causing me lot of issues. Plus widget do not refresh 😒

### 1/5 — 不具合を問い合わせたが…

*2025-07-14, version 8.0.0*

カレンダーイベントの操作に不具合があり問い合わせたが、iosの仕様だと返信が来た。
返信自体は早かったが、
カレンダーへのフルアクセスを許可しており、他のカレンダーアプリでは問題なく使える機能だったため、iosの制限ではないのは明らか。
気に入って使っていたアプリだが、適当なことを言うサポートで残念。

### 1/5 — Pricy

*2025-03-08, version 7.9.2*

Thought that one purchase would enable access for both the ios and mac apps. However, you have to pay separately.

### 1/5 — App demands access to Reminders—Fail

*2025-01-06, version 7.9.1*

Read good things about this app. Wanted to try it out. Unfortunately, the app insists that you change your Privacy settings and give it access to Reminders!

No way!  It will not even let you create a single task without doing that. 

Is it an app or an extension of Reminders?  Come on, developers!  Let us test your app and explore its features without having to give it access to another app!

In years of exploring and using ToDo-type apps, this is the first AND only one that insisted on access to another app.

### 1/5 — Buy this again?

*2024-12-04, version 7.8.6*

I bought this app once and they are charging again to all the people who wonder why it stopped working.  I don’t mind paying because they are great with updates but a reminder app that stops working without notifying users is an issue.  Let people know they need to pay again!

### 5/5 — Like fine wine…

*2026-09-22*

I have been using this application for years now and it continues to get better and better… Like fine wine!

The developer does a great job of constant monitoring and updating the app. It's loaded with tons of options, mini that I don't use because I have found those that work best for me, that give the user various alternatives for setting up and daily use. Particularly, depending upon which ever task management philosophy you're accustomed to. Whether it's something very simple, or very complex, this app does so much. And the fact that it's layer on top of the reminders app means that all the information is still in the generic reminders app (though not organized as well, e.g. the benefit of this app) end it allows you to add tasks using Siri with ease. 

A great app worth trying!l

### 5/5 — Sehr gute Funktionalität

*2026-08-30, version 8.3.7*

Sehr gut gelöst, dass es ein Zusatz zu den Standarderinnerungen ist. Erinnerungen ist. Ein Punkt: Zur Zeit funktioniert die Synchronisation mit dem Mac nicht

### 5/5 — Super Funktionalität

*2026-08-22, version 8.3.6*

Alles was man braucht auch wenn die Bedienung gewöhnungsbedürftig.

### 5/5 — User Friendly

*2026-08-18, version 8.3.5*

Great task app. Easy to learn and comprehensive. I’ve tried dozens of tasks apps and this is the best by far!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-08-12, version 8.3.4*

You can use it just as it is or modify it to your specific needs. For me the best on the market 🌈

### 5/5 — Love it.   And I’ve tried many other

*2026-07-26, version 8.3.2*

Only critical suggestion is eliminate the date wheel. Takes too long and is difficult to scroll to where you want to be. Just put up a monthly calendar that you can easily advance and pick a date from.

### 5/5 — Great App keeps getting better

*2026-07-25, version 8.3.2*

I purchased this app to help me extend my Apple task functionality and was blown away by how immediately functional it made my whole business workflows in the last six months. They keep adding more and more features and making it better and better for business use. By de-selecting my personal task lists, I can keep my Apple reminders for my personal world and Good Task looks after all of my business workflows all in the same Apple ecosystem, using my watch, iPad, and Mac all at the same time. I would give 10/5 if I could.

### 5/5 — Replaced 2Do

*2026-07-24, version 8.3.2*

Switched some time ago after 2Do developed sync problems. Works great.

### 5/5 — Comprehensive

*2026-07-14, version 8.3.0*

I love the Apple reminders integration and the ability to customise the experience like no other task manager

### 5/5 — Perfecta

*2026-07-10, version 8.2.6*

Ya la doy cinco estrellas, en mi anterior valoración estaba empezando a conocer la aplicación, pero la di de momento cuatro estrellas porque me pareció que iba a ser buena. Tengo que decir que por fin he encontrado lo que necesitaba, aunque en un principio me parecía algo complicada cuando te familiarizas con ella no tienes problemas, no se te pasa nada, ni tareas ni recordatorios ni citas, te avisa de distintas maneras y como está sincronizada con recordatorios si tienes Things también te avisa esta app.
