### 4/5 — It's OK, but missing a few crucial things.

*2026-08-21, version 26.33.0*

They're used to be an app called GTasks that allowed me to assign individual subtasks a priority, and that was really nice because I could share that with my team and they knew which one to focus on regardless of what order I entered them in. Also, I could print out the whole thing. Both of those are sadly lacking with this. I'm surprised that no one else has requested both of those improvements. Come on Google, get with it!

Also, the three-bar icon to see the list of all tasks has gone away. This is what happens when you have a UX team who gets free pedicures but doesn't actually use the app in real life....

### 2/5 — Mixes up my tasks every day

*2026-08-21, version 26.33.0*

It’s a god app but every time my tasks reset it mixes up the order even though I’m on my order. It also changes my previous edits to the task every day. I’d love for you guys to fix this

### 4/5 — repeating tasks don’t work

*2026-08-20, version 26.33.0*

i created a repeating task i want to be notified to do at 7AM everyday 4 days ago , & it has not once sent a notification for me to do that task. please fix!

### 4/5 — Organizing titles

*2026-08-18, version 26.32.0*

Would like to be able to organize titles according to alphabetical order

### 3/5 — Opção de compartilhar faltando

*2026-08-17*

O aplicativo é bom mas é preciso uma opção para compartilhar com a gente

### 3/5 — Need task list colors

*2026-08-14, version 26.32.0*

Google tasks is good but to be great you need the option to choose a color for each task list!!

### 4/5 — Good, not great

*2026-08-13, version 26.32.0*

Good tasks lists with no frills but a buggy widget that list the color code with the list title.  I wish the widget could be made one size larger and that widget would allow you to see just the scheduled tasks despite which list they are in.

### 4/5 — A list for due today and overdue tasks?

*2026-08-12, version 26.31.0*

A list that includes all tasks due today and overdue would be helpful

### 3/5 — Great but wish there was more

*2026-08-08, version 26.31.0*

I wish there was as option to delete or edit a single task. If there is, it’s not intuitive and it seems like the only option for this is complete the task and add a new one

### 4/5 — Add search

*2026-08-06, version 26.31.0*

Could you add search for tasks please?

### 4/5 — Sugestão

*2026-08-04*

Poderiam dentro do app mesmo poder colocar alguns filtros para as tarefas

### 4/5 — Great!

*2026-07-30, version 26.30.0*

Please allow just two things:
custom re-arranging of starred tasks, and collapsing of subtasks!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2026-07-29, version 26.29.0*

As a new Apple user this is a familiar interface, syncs with my Google Home environment. It has a great stackable widget too! Google, please do the same for 'Keep'!

### 4/5 — Update

*2026-07-25, version 26.29.0*

Not now have appointment try on Wednesday or after 08/06/26.

### 3/5 — Works good most of the time

*2026-07-25, version 26.29.0*

Recurring doesn’t work the way it should. It eventually stops pushing a reminder so you don’t see it unless you go into the app

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — gTasks is better

*2026-08-25, version 26.33.0*

For the biggest tech company this side of the Sun, it’s clunky, unreliable, not nearly as smooth and intuitive as gTasks, and I simply don’t like it.

### 1/5 — Longtime user frustrated by iOS version

*2026-08-11, version 26.31.0*

I’ve used Google Tasks for 10+ years, multiple times a day, with 30–40 lists containing everything from daily tasks to personal notes, memories, work information, and even detailed lists of what’s in my storage bins. It’s become an important personal reference system.

After switching from Android to iPhone about a year ago, I’ve been extremely frustrated by how limited the iOS version is compared with Android. And now, in the latest update, a particularly useful feature appears to have been removed: the drop-down menu in the upper-left corner that let you quickly see and select from all your lists.

With dozens of lists, having to scroll horizontally through them is significantly slower and more cumbersome. I genuinely don’t understand why such a basic and useful feature would be removed.

Please bring it back—and please give the iOS version the same functionality as Android. Longtime users like me depend on this app, and it’s frustrating to see it become less useful over time. I’m now being forced to look for something different. Ugg!

### 1/5 — Absolute garbage

*2026-08-05, version 26.31.0*

Really bad. Unintuitive. Repeating tasks are trash. Impossible to undo. Really regret getting this app.

### 1/5 — Please update your app!

*2026-07-30, version 26.30.0*

1) The Widget is borderline useless especially the square one. The rectangle one isn’t as bad. 

2) The UI is bad, old looking, lacks modern appeal. 

3) No badge support so you don’t know what’s due unless you use the widget or open the app. It goes in the Notification Center and that’s it. 

4) No logic for entry; “Do the laundry at 6 PM on Monday” will literally just write that out instead of adding those times. 

5) No voice integration with Siri like Microsoft ToDo and other Reminder/Tasks apps. 

6) No meaningful updates. It’s in maintenance mode. Look at the history and you’ll see nothing substantial for years!

### 1/5 — Almost useless

*2026-07-26, version 26.29.0*

Despite this being part of the Google ecosystem just like Google’s other mishap (Keep) it is not a useful tool. You can add some tasks and that’s it. It has Calendar integration (not required tbh). But it doesn’t have any share functionality and I’m not talking about corporate integration but rather if you want to have a shared grocery list with your spouse then you’re screwed. 
Todoist is better but the paid plan is too expensive for a family organizer. 
So I guess I’m back to MS To-Do.

### 1/5 — No search?!?

*2026-07-18, version 26.28.0*

Why would Google of all companies create an app with no search feature?!

### 1/5 — App keeps crashing

*2026-07-04, version 26.26.0*

The app keeps crashing without any warnings. I’ve uninstalled, installed and updated the app but I am still unable to open it on my iPhone 11.

### 1/5 — Owner

*2026-07-02, version 26.26.0*

Review’s are not free and they are not from myself. Please STOP using my services  platform to encourage people . Please Stop spreading negativity please.  Lora

### 1/5 — Zero for release notes

*2026-07-01, version 26.26.0*

Bug fixes an improvements, what the hell does that mean? Just try putting something reasonable in here just one sentence that says what you're changing. It's not that hard.

### 1/5 — Missing a search function

*2026-06-08, version 26.22.0*

The Google Tasks mobile app for iPhone does not currently have a built-in search feature for finding specific tasks. To locate items, you must manually scroll through your lists.  My lists are long and this is a PITA. Google, please add this simple feature ASAP!

### 5/5 — Google

*2026-08-23, version 26.33.0*

Best app ever

### 5/5 — Google táxi

*2026-08-14*

Ótimo app para organização, prático e direto!

### 5/5 — PRINT BUTTON

*2026-08-13, version 26.32.0*

I like the stars that you can add or subtract. This way you can keep your list but mark the items that you need for that day or event. Can you add that feature to Google Keep list?

### 5/5 — Keeps me together

*2026-08-12, version 26.31.0*

With my ADHD google task and calendar is the ultimate life hack!

### 5/5 — I love it so much, my favourite app

*2026-08-09*

This app has been with me for years. Use it with gmail and it's the only app that has made me stick to my to do list.

### 5/5 — Get It Done App

*2026-08-04, version 26.30.0*

Helps me keep all my to dos / lists organized. Widget on the screen is an easy reminder. It’s also so satisfying clicking off an item. I do wish we could reorganize the order of the lists. But love that it automatically goes into my Google Calendar. Only app needed to stay organized these days, plus it’s free and not gimmicky.

### 5/5 — Love!

*2026-08-01, version 26.30.0*

This app is Da best!!!

### 5/5 — Muito útil

*2026-07-30*

Eu uso todos os dias para uma rotina mais organizada e produtiva. Amo a parte prática de abrir também no computador com muita facilidade. Peço aos desenvolvedores que coloquem uma opção de: buscar tarefa agendada, pois é comum eu agendar uma tarefa e esquecer que dia será aquele compromisso, se tivesse a função buscar seria melhor.

### 5/5 — Daily driver

*2026-07-30, version 26.29.0*

Big part of my OS

### 5/5 — Excelente!!

*2026-07-29*

Organizo tudo por aqui!
