(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 ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Decent functionality but frequent crashing and sync delay *2026-02-02* It crashes when it cant keep up with your edits and sync back to Reminders. Then it is a major headache to open it snd switch to another view in the app as it continues to crash. This seems to be an issue with delayed sync back in the app Smart list views or widget coordination. The Smart lists is where this problem exists. Makes it unusable until the app can figure out where it all is in the updates and sync across views, etc. Ive had to restart the device to unstick the app. Annoying. But the Smart lists are the main problem, selecting and trying to update goes thru crash after crash. I cant update on the ‘next three days’ snd be able to then reliably switch to full list view without a crash. So good idea with unreliable sync execution inside the app itself across views. I think the $20 one time price is a little overpriced for the execution issues. ### 5/5 — 요청사항! *2026-01-30* 캘린더 미리알림 모두 연동되고 투두목록별로 묶어둘수도있고 지금은 무료체험 기간이지만 결제할 것 같아요 근데 한가지 요청사항이라면!!! 다른 사용자 초대해서 보거나 투두메이트처럼 다른 사람들 것을 보면서 동기부여 혹은 참고 받을 수 있는 것도 있었으면 좋겠어요!!! 제 것만 돼서 아쉬워요 초대해가지구 친구들이랑 같이 할 수 있으면 더 조을 것 같아요!!!!!!! 제발 ㅠㅠ ### 2/5 — A bit misleading *2026-01-13, version 8.1.6* After downloading the GoodTask app, I found the wording to be a bit sneaky for two options of offering a free trial period for 14 days or signing up to the subscription which did not mention the price. ### 5/5 — I like it a lot! *2025-12-20, version 8.1.6* I’ve been using this app for years now and I think it’s one of the best apps for making and adjusting and viewing reminders. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Great app and NO privacy concern here *2025-12-11, version 8.1.5* When I saw a review indicating a privacy concern it was obvious some people may not understand how this app works. Unlike most todo apps, this one provides a new interface to access your Apple Reminders. The whole point is to use the system Apple has set up and add more capability. There is a nice task manager called Things. It works well but doesn’t have location based reminders like Apple Reminders. Since Goodtask works WITH Apple Reminders data you get all the features already there including location based reminders. You’re also not storing your data on some third party server like many other task managers due. Another advantage is there is less chance of obsolescence. If a program like Things goes away I have no access to my data. If the developer of Goodtask stops development all your tasks are still in Apple Reminders. ### 5/5 — Essential! *2025-12-02, version 8.1.5* Coming from Android, I love how Apple has the reminder app and how it integrates with the calendar. Unfortunately, the widgets are useless. I was looking for a reminder widget, but this is so much more. It shows the reminders AND the calendar events. It integrates with Apple’s data so there is no need to set up a special account. I love my games, but this is my favorite app. It is a one stop shop for keeping me organized and on time. ### 5/5 — icloud 동기화? 연동? 이 안됩니다 *2025-11-27* 너무너무 잘 쓰고있는데, 일정을 ‘하지못함‘ ’진행중‘으로도 표시할 수 있으면 좋겠습니다. 미리알림과 연동은 안되어도 괜찮으니, 표시가 가능하면 좋겠습니다. ### 5/5 — I enjoy this *2025-10-25, version 8.1.4* Great for me, a very busy person. Helps me stay focused ### 2/5 — Never seen an app show a paywall so many times *2025-10-22, version 8.1.4* It never used to be like this when I tried it a few years ago. It used to be everything Apple Reminders should be. It used to have a useful free tier and a compelling paid tier. Now it shoves a paywall down your throat for almost every action. It’s actually comical. Also as others have mentioned: the UI is incredibly confusing. I get the value of a power user tool but some serious UX work needs to be done. ### 5/5 — Fantastic to do app at a great price *2025-10-18, version 8.1.4* I love this app and use it for all my to do list needs. I’ve been using it for two years and have found it indispensable. It is easy to use and has lots of great features. The simple low cost one-time pricing option beats competitors. It also integrates perfectly with iPhone’s Reminders app. ### 5/5 — Clean and easy *2025-10-18, version 8.1.4* This really helps me get my reminders and tasks organized. I love how clean the UI is and it has a ton of features. I looked into at least 20 different apps. I dictate my reminders via Siri into my phone when on the go — so that’s where they live. So I need a place to work with these reminders and Apple reminders is unfortunately too limited. Thank you for creating this! The only ask I have is to create a browser access on Windows. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 — 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! ### 1/5 — Greedy paywall *2024-11-14, version 7.8.6* I understand the requirement for the dev(s) to monetize but paywalling of the app including the settings without and free trial is ridiculous. How do I know if the app is suitable for me when most features apart from “Lists” are paywalled without a trial? ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2024-06-02, version 7.7.2* Glitchy ### 1/5 — Keeps removing lists from my smart list *2024-05-25, version 7.7.2* I have a specific smart list that I have selected “Specific (include)” Reminders, Bills, & Shared leaving only my MISC list excluded. It keeps automatically removing my Bills list therefore I have to keep manually adding it back. Please fix asap! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 — 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 — 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. ### 5/5 — Great Task App *2026-04-19, version 8.2.1* Love this app ### 5/5 — Best list *2026-04-06, version 8.2.1* Easy to use and synchronized with reminders well. ### 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! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
