Unfortunately I’ve had significant sync issues, especially on the Mac, where tasks simply never show up. I’ve tried using a Doneit-only database and also syncing with reminders but the issue persists, and on a couple of occasions I lost the contents of whole projects, including what would otherwise have been safe in Reminders. My most common use case is adding tasks while offline on my phone (public transit, underground) as I do a lot of my planning for the day during my commute and then not having the work I’ve done sync back to my Mac after. I look forward to coming back to this app when the reliability of sync improves as it really is very well designed. **Developer response:** Hi, Thank you so much for your feedback! We will try to improve the app in the future updates. Thank you so much! ### 4/5 — Предложение *2025-12-13* Добрый день! Было бы классно, если можно было выделять сразу несколько задач методом протягивания, а так же менять сразу во всех выделенных задачах какие-то свойства. **Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Большое спасибо за ваше предложение! Мы постараемся добавить эту функцию в будущих обновлениях. Спасибо! ### 3/5 — AI features *2025-12-08, version 3.0.7* Hi there. How can I use AI features? I don’t see any button on toolbar. ### 4/5 — Everything’s okay, except Chinese translations *2025-10-04, version 3.0.3* The translation quality in the app is significantly impacting the user experience. I would appreciate it if you would consider either improving the translations (perhaps by integrating a more advanced AI like GPT) or providing an option to switch the app's language to English. Thank you for considering this feedback. ### 3/5 — Good app but *2025-10-02, version 3.0.3* Sharing options are not working for me. I shared with someone else but they can’t see any category… ### 2/5 — Too bad … *2025-09-28, version 3.0.3* Kanban means “moving tasks as cards on a board through defined phases.” This software cannot do that—and if it can, the GUI is useless. In the 21st century, software should be intuitive to use. And anyone who calls themselves Kanban should deliver Kanban. Too bad... ### 3/5 — 不好用 *2025-06-16* 1、添加任务功能太繁琐，影响效率以及直观性。 2、添加任务必须“强制”添加分类，分类这功能没有存在的必要性。 3、设置在锁屏小程序后，只显示分类名称，却看不到任务，导致小程序形同虚设。 **Developer response:** 您好！ 非常感谢您的反馈！ 我们会在以后的更新中努力改进这款应用。 非常感谢！ ### 5/5 — good update *2025-06-07, version 2.10.7* it’s better than before it looks good thanx ### 2/5 — Buenas ideas mal optimizadas *2025-05-19, version 2.10.5* En general me gusta mucho la app y las ideas que intentaron ser aplicadas, digo intentaron porque no funciona bien la sync entre dispositivos y se vuelve algo lenta. Cuando menos lo esperas se te desaparecen recordatorios o categorías enteras lo cual merma mucho el UX. Si pudiera pediría un reembolso, la app no está lista. ### 5/5 — Super zum Aufgaben verwalten *2025-05-16, version 2.10.5* Die App hat ein schönes und aufgeräumtes Design. Sie eignet sich super zum Verwalten von Aufgaben und bietet viele Funktionen und Optionen, um die Aufgaben effizient zu kategorisieren. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Really wanted to like *2026-07-24* Critical bad design—deleting a tag *also* deletes associated tasks. Very. Bad. Design. Basic database skills. Would not use this for anything beyond a grocery list—and not really for that either. It also deletes the wrong items! Create a folder name it “Test”. Create a category with the same name “Test”. Delete the folder—it will delete the category too!! How aweful. That means the title is also the ID or there’s some really bad decisions being made. Like, why would I be able to have the same titles then? Either way it’s bad. Nobody could possibly be using this seriously. There is NO undo so it’s all gone forever. Scary thing is…what else behaves like this. And this is with version THREE?!?! Peace out. **Developer response:** Hi, Thank you for your feedback! Doneit doesn't delete tasks when you delete a tag. The tag is simply removed from the tasks it was assigned to. The app also doesn't delete categories when you delete a folder. Doneit always shows a confirmation before deleting items, with a message that deleted items can't be restored. If you have any questions about the app, you can always get in touch with us via email at info@designtech.so. We are always happy to help! Thank you so much! ### 1/5 — Didn’t last 2 minutes *2026-04-17, version 3.0.9* Downloaded, opened it, looked around, try to add something, deleted it. Elapsed time about 3 minutes total. This app has lots of overlapping features, and no obvious method for how you might use it. Do yourself a favor and stay away. Use a todo list app written by people who want to help you do things instead. ### 1/5 — 空间删除后可否恢复？ *2025-11-26* 空间删除后有恢复手段吗 **Developer response:** 您好， 对此我们深表歉意！ 请问您使用的是“归档”还是“删除”选项？如果您使用的是“归档”选项，则可以在应用设置中选择“归档”选项来访问已归档的数据。如果您使用的是“删除”选项并确认了删除操作，则无法恢复已删除的数据。 如有任何其他疑问，欢迎随时发送邮件至 info@designtech.so 联系我们。我们非常乐意为您提供帮助！ ​​ 非常感谢！ ### 1/5 — Sync doesn’t *2025-09-27, version 3.0.3* Followed instructions, reset token, nothing doing. ### 1/5 — Mal *2025-09-21, version 3.0.2* Tenía Premium , actualicé, y ya no lo tengo. ### 1/5 — Massive UI issues *2025-09-07, version 2.11* The basic idea is nice, however implementation is far from perfect. Many fields are right aligned. Cannot close some of dialogues using ESC key. Not possible to change order by simple drag and drop. Support does not respond to reports. Definitely cannot recommend the current version. Hope it will be improved in the future. At the moment the application seems to be abandonware. Not a single update in months despite the massive bugs, shortcomings and issues that were reported. There is only option to send them email - no GitHub issue tracker, forum or similar way to report and track progress. ### 1/5 — Kanban features don’t work on free app *2025-07-07, version 2.10.9* The free version of this app is essentially useless. There are many other free versions that will not prompt me to pay for them whenever I want to do anything. Uninstalled immediately. ### 1/5 — Синхронизация не работает *2025-05-31* Upd 2. Скачал спустя полгода - позор. Вид временная шкала просто поломанная штука, зачем, почему, почему шкала всегда справа, где время, почему блоки такие крошечные? А когда попробовал уже убрать вообще базу данных doneit + напоминания и оставил только doneit на всех 3 устройствах - офигел. Синхронизация почти не работает между 3 устройствами, категории, разделы то появляются, то пропадают. На одном устройстве 4 категории, на другом 3. Перемещаешь местами пункты - на другом устройстве ничего не меняется. Upd. Отвечаю вам на ваш ответ, вы ничего не поправили, категории в Doneit сами удаляются и создаются постоянно, потому что происходит конфликт синхронизации между устройствами. Версия приложения 2.7.6 Ужасней приложения пока не видел. Синхронизация iCloud и Doneit с напоминаниями + iPhone, Mac, iPad просто не работает нормально. Напоминания передают изменения и те начинают обновляться в Doneit. При этом каждый из устройств начинает передавать изменение Doneit по iCloud и все вообще начинает ломаться. Куча дубликатов, разная сортировка, удаляются категории, дублируются ярлыки, приоритеты и все такое. А также эта штука без предупреждения удалила мне все календари, когда я удалял просто категории в Doneit. Пришлось восстанавливать через iCloud.com **Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Приносим искренние извинения за это! Не могли бы вы связаться с нами по электронной почте info@designtech.so? Мы сделаем все возможное, чтобы помочь вам с проблемами синхронизации в приложении. Мы постараемся улучшить приложение в будущих обновлениях! Большое спасибо! ### 1/5 — How is there no tutorial *2025-05-19, version 2.10.5* I am 30 years old and know how to code in python, sql and have advanced excel skills. I could not figure out how to use this app for the life of me. I spent 30 entire minutes trying to figure out how to make a board with 3 columns “To Do”, “In Progress” and “Completed”. I never figured out how. This app is harder to figure out than calculus. ### 1/5 — 快点退款 *2025-05-15* 会员显示免费，最后扣款298，请尽快退款 **Developer response:** 您好， 我们对此深感抱歉！ 此折扣仅在 2025 年 5 月 5 日至 6 日有效。请注意，由于 Apple 处理应用内购买价格时区的方式，在特定时间段内价格调整时，价格可能未正确更新。 我们已在应用的购买屏幕上添加了文字，要求您在购买前确认价格是否确实为免费。价格显示在每个 Doneit Premium 选项的标题下方，Apple 还会显示一个包含价格的确认屏幕。 很遗憾，我们不处理退款。您可以在此处向 Apple 申请退款：https://support.apple.com/en-us/118223。 对于由此造成的不便，我们深表歉意！ 非常感谢！ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Kanban Board Needs Work *2026-04-27, version 3.0.9* I really appreciate the UI and simplicity of this app when making tasks for many different things. It allows you to sort all your tasks with tags, folders, and categories. I find that having to add tasks to a folder after making them outside of the folder is inconvenient, especially when I’m trying to make a folder for programming projects or school work. The biggest flaw to me though is that the Kanban Board just isn’t intuitive when making custom areas to put tasks in. I want to be able to make a task and have it go in the starting category I make. For example, “Brainstorm Project Ideas” would go in “to-do” and not “uncategorized.” I also would love the tasks to go the next category, for example “Clean Up styles.css” in “almost done,” instead of just getting a strike-through and staying in that category when checked. Overall it’s a really great app for task management, but the whole reason I got this app was for keeping up with tasks mainly with the Kanban board. I would recommend! ### 5/5 — Прошу вернуть деньги 799 руб *2026-01-22* Прошу вернуть деньги снятия за подписку, так как я не дала согласие! Подписка мне не нужна! **Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Мы приносим свои искренние извинения! Похоже, вы начали бесплатный пробный период годовой подписки Doneit Premium. Подписка автоматически продлевается, если не отменена как минимум за 24 часа до даты продления. К сожалению, у нас нет возможности сделать возврат средств напрямую, но вы можете запросить возврат средств у Apple здесь: https://support.apple.com/ru-ru/118223. Если у вас возникнут другие вопросы, вы можете связаться с нами по электронной почте info@designtech.so. Мы всегда рады помочь! Большое спасибо! ### 5/5 — 反馈bug *2025-10-19* 你好，先生，您的软件非常好用，但是有些问题，比如说新建立的任务里面设置了关联日历，再次进入修改关联日历自动关闭了，时间也自动到当前的时间，如果直接点击关闭，就会以新的来，希望您修改一下 **Developer response:** 您好， 对此我们深表歉意！ 请您通过电子邮件联系我们：info@designtech.so。我们将尽力帮您解决这个问题。 非常感谢！ ### 5/5 — More than I need but… *2025-10-06* I’ve had this app for a few months now and didn’t consistently use it due to it not being feature specific for my needs. However, I looked beyond it being more capable than what I was looking for and treated it like any other product and focused on my requirements since it is designed to be used in this manner. I’m pleased with it just as much as I am with their other app Accountit. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback, we highly appreciate it! ### 5/5 — Well thought out & continuously updated *2025-09-21, version 3.0.2* Love developers that are open to suggestions. Application offers allot. Definitely worth a try. ### 5/5 — Junxing St Ln 265 *2025-09-07, version 2.11* Junxing St Ln 265 ### 5/5 — Excellent for ADHD *2025-08-30, version 2.11* Although it’s a work in progress and documentation is scarce, this app is already the best for an ADHD brain. Buy and support them! ### 5/5 — Rewelacja *2025-08-12, version 2.11* Super fajna przejrzysta przyjemna aplikacja, chyba najlepsza i współpracuje z kalendarzem Apple, więc widzę też w kalendarzu co mam do zrobienia ### 5/5 — 非常好应用 *2025-07-09* 但是由于我的电脑是使用windows的，开发者能考虑开发windows网页端或者应用吗 **Developer response:** 您好！ 非常感谢您的反馈！ 很遗憾，我们目前没有计划推出 Windows 版应用。对此我们深感抱歉！ 非常感谢！ ### 5/5 — 可以添加中文吗 *2025-07-02* 可以添加中文吗 **Developer response:** 您好！ 该应用程序已经支持简体中文。 您可以在 iOS 设备的“设置”中更改应用语言，方法是：依次选择“应用”选项、应用和语言。 在 macOS 设备上，您可以在设备的“设置”中更改应用语言，方法是：依次选择“通用”选项和“语言和地区”选项。之后，您可以通过点击“应用”部分中的“加号”按钮来更改应用语言。 非常感谢！ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
