Still good compared to other apps
Genuinely powerful for serious goal tracking
Just set up MLO 3 on my iPad Pro and I’m impressed by the depth. The unlimited hierarchy of folders, projects, and subtasks lets me organize life areas — health, diet, work, hobbies — far better than the iPad’s built-in Reminders.
What I’m using it for: time-bound goals broken into weekly milestones, with recurring daily and weekly habit tasks under each goal. The Project status field (Not Started / In Progress / Completed) is great for visual progress.
What works well: the one-time Pro purchase (rare these days, much appreciated), the strong recurring task engine, and the ready-made views like Today, Active Goals, and Due Next 7 Days that already function as a usable dashboard out of the box.
One suggestion: weekday-specific recurrence (Mon/Wed/Fri) currently requires the Desktop version. Would be great to have this on iOS too — for someone using only the mobile app, the workaround of creating three separate tasks is clunky.
Overall a serious tool for serious task management. Recommended.

Good Task/Project Management App
This application has good inclusive functionality. It is everything all in one, with easy user interface, functionality control, and program management software.
Been using MLO about three years ...
...and I really like it. Cloud sync keeps MLO on all three of my platforms updates. Recommend it highly.
Great app. Needs updating.
Great app. I also use MLO Windows. The iOS needs updating so Home Screen widgets can be used. The Apple Watch version is stuck on the starred view because Apple took away 3D Touch on the Apple Watch.
Almost Perfect iPhone App, Perfect PC Software
I love this app. Its ability to easily set task dependencies makes it the best possible tool for project management. The PC version is top notch—above any other software out there. The iPhone app is awesome, but I keep waiting for an update that will allow the full recurring options we have available in the PC app. I use this on both iPhone and PC, with the cloud sync service. I almost always have to use the PC software to setup recurring tasks though. Please, please add that feature to this app. That missing feature is the only thing holding it back! (Well, that and open/closed hours setup, but for me, open/closed is far less important to me for the mobile app since I can still manage that as a “set and forget” feature via my PC version).

I like
This is an incredible app. It has helped me a lot.
Awesome personal organizer
Intuitive. Great cloud sync. Nice Windows version too.
Not bad
There are some features of this app I love so much, such as the open/close function on contexts. This is one feature that even Omni Focus does not have. However, this app is made to rely on the desktop app for optimal performance. I wonder if that is a business strategy for people to buy both. I believe it should be a stand alone app with full functionality contained in the mobile app. For example, anything beyond simple recurrence setting needs to be done on the desktop app. That is absurd.

Clear, Clean, Flexible
I’ve used this for years. I sync across 5 devices and it works great.
My favorite functionality is the infinitely deep and easy Folders and Files.
It is very easy to create hierarchies of Folders and Files, or within Files / Tasks. It is the best simplest solution available.

Great for projects
This is the best app I’ve found for project planning. Having the ability to add subtasks and minimize them when needed is extremely useful.
I Am So Happy About This App
I have been looking for something like this for a long time. There is a little bit of a learning curve but, honestly, I hate trying to follow instructions and I jumped in. I explored EVERYTHING. I love organizing and MLO has made it so much more fun.
Great app
Good
Great
Keeps you organized and can be used across devices
Very good
A wealth of options. Almost too many, but would love to have a numeric field that could be set to total up within a branch.
Potential
Just need to work with it. Not 100% intuitive to set up. But once up and going it’s a game changer.
Back to MLO!
Been a user since my Visor & Palm Pilot days…to Android & iPhone. Used MLO for big projects but cleaning the slate for my To Do Lists. Very unhappy with using other Task apps that either become too complicated or get bought by bigger companies & then ruined (Wunderlist). My lists are info based. I don’t want due dates. I want a simple, but large, file tree where you can rearrange list order easily. Can’t wait to jump in this week & pull over all my lists!

Still disappointed
Good if you do not need customized recurring tasks. Recurrence need to add flexibility, e.g recurring every 6 weeks or 8 months. Still no print functions. And still not a happy user
New task Tool
I've replaced other tasks in favor of MLO3 ! Very configurable!!
All the features I’m looking for
MLO3 has many feature under people complaining other task management apps don’t. Location based reminder, projects and folders, iOS reminders sync.. but only MLO3 and one other offer project review! Which is a game changer! Well done!
