Used for years. Essential app for organization.
I’ve used OmniFocus for about 6 years now and I still love it. Many reviewing this app want it to be something it’s not. It’s a to-do list. However, it is the most powerful to-do app you will ever use. It is for organizing projects down to a granular level. It’s for people who have multiple facets of life and each needs its own special organization for their tasks. It’s for sorting related tasks into however you want to view them. It’s for alerting you about your tasks in any way you wish. It is insanely powerful and customizable. I use it for everyday to-do lists. I also used it to manage my entire last year of university when I was 39 and had a full time job and family. I use it for all of that too. This is the best organizing tool I’ve ever used. It especially helps me being bipolar and autistic when I forget about things I need to do. It always reminds me.
Keep up the good work! I can’t wait for v4!

BEWARE
Absolute garbage, scam app. Paid full price to "buy" the already overpriced OmniFocus app when it was released, only for it to become quickly obsolete and no longer maintaining even the most basic function of a simple text editing & notetaking feature. Now when you go to open up that OmniFocus app, that you supposedly own, all it allows you to see is a "proof" picture receipt that you do "own" it that they then have the audacity to say can be used to gain a discount[!] on a future version for which they now want your [more, and more, and more] money. Which brings us, finally, to now, a time when the forty-fifty dollar iPhone/iPad app is now - get this - FREE. But only so for two weeks. And only so if you create an account with them, and hand over to them your credit card payment information, with which they can indeed very soon begin charging you with recurring dings that are even higher, forgetting for a moment the matter of frequency, than they were at the beginning. GARBAGE.

Lacking polish
I use and love OmniFocus on the Mac. It’s wildly powerful, and I’ve extended it with community plugins and my own Keyboard Maestro macros. The iOS app feels like more of an afterthought that hasn’t gotten the same attention. Where the Omnigroup excels at Mac software, it lags on adopting a lot of conventions that make for great iPhone and iPad apps. An example of this is swiping left or right on tasks. Many apps make use of multiple actions that can be custom mapped, so that sliding over a little in one direction gives you access to a couple actions, and more when you swipe in the other. OmniFocus doesn’t offer that level of customization. That means that, in my experience, you end up doing way more tapping to organize or even access tasks, and move more slowly in dealing with them.
I use and love this software if the Mac, and feel like I shelled out $50 for what basically amounts to a way to simply see my tasks on mobile, rather than getting a good task manager.

Was amazing but lately…
I have used Omnifocus for YEARS and it has always been my go to. It has always bee 5 stars, however for the last few months, it takes FOREVER to load on my phone and frequently freezes or shuts down while I’m using it. It also isn’t syncing reliably with my other devices. If this keeps up I will have to look for a new program to use. 😢. I can’t sit for 3 minutes for it to load to be able to add something or check it off! Please fix! 🙏🏻

Making me pay again
I like this app. But I spent a decent amount of money on it just a few years ago. Now I am told it’s discontinued and I have to buy it again. Its disappointing. I guess they need to make money too, but try to get new customers rather than tax your existing ones. The app market doesn’t work like old software did and I don’t feel good about having to rebuy effectively the same product twice. Had I bought the product a year later I would have only had to buy it once. If I buy this new update, how long until it’s no good?
