### 4/5 — Occasionally clunky but great at handling many disparate projects

*2026-08-13*

The review functionality is fairly unique and works really well.

The mobile app is noticeably more janky than the desktop version, but still works pretty well. I’m also occasionally frustrated by the cumbersome and busy UI (lots of things require a bit of navigation, or too many taps).

However, the combination of defer dates and review functionality is great for limiting the amount of tasks I’m looking at, without losing anything across many projects.

### 5/5 — Leistungsstarkes Tool für Ambitionierte

*2026-08-04*

Zugegeben: die Einarbeitung dauert etwas. Wenn man aber viele Projekte begleiten muss und den Überblick behalten will, kommt man um die GTD-Methode und ein Werkzeug wie OF 4 nicht herum. Mit den neuen Funktionen der Versionen 4.7/4.8 gewinnt die Software weiter an Professionalität. Weiter so!

### 5/5 — Cures an endless list

*2026-07-18, version 4.8.12*

By allowing dates to be both 
- don’t think about this until X
- plan to do this on X
- actually due on X 

You’re able to look from a menu of tasks (the endless todo lists we all have) and choose/prioritize what needs to happen today. 

All I’ve ever looked for.

### 2/5 — Approaching Unusability

*2026-07-15, version 4.8.12*

It is sad to see an app that gets worse over time not better.  I have used the previous versions.  The latest is the worst ever.  The way the screen scrolls automatically is horrible.  Often I click on something and either nothing happens or a different action is marked complete.  Using notes is an exercise in frustration.  Copy and paste is nearly impossible.  I wish I could go back to an earlier version.  Looking for a replacement.

### 2/5 — Issues logging in all the time

*2026-07-13, version 4.8.12*

It’s a decent app but I am sick and tired of it asking me to register my account once a month

### 2/5 — 建议

*2026-07-12*

应该多出一些中文教程，软件本身使用方法的不清晰，很容易让人放弃这个软件，而且这个软件让人有很强的挫败感，自己账户的信息也不清晰，买一个5年的账户都无法和自己的Mac同步，也很无语

### 1/5 — No GPT / Claude connection

*2026-07-06*

Love omnifocus and have been a loyal customer for years. But with the evolution of AI they need to get with the times and build a connector into various AI tools or risk being outpaced and out performed. They already are to be honest. I can pull my database from their console and give it to AI to allow that AI to replicate my database with omnifocus somewhere else. I would prefer to keep it where it is. So please speed up and create the connector. Knowing omnifocus you will want to charge for some privilege …

### 1/5 — Seriously?

*2026-06-30, version 4.8.12*

App freezes ALL. THE. TIME.

### 2/5 — White text on a light gray background??

*2026-06-21, version 4.8.12*

Seriously guys, do you even test your product? Answer is clearly no. Selecting a task changes the background to light gray, with a white foreground; yellow if the task is due. Completely illegible.

### 3/5 — Good but still buggy

*2026-06-09, version 4.8.11*

I have used and updated OmniFocus for many years and it works fine for the most part but there are still a lot of bugs that make the experience not so great. The app freezes frequently on my phone forcing a restart. When I want to enter a note, the note field is hidden behind the keyboard area on the bottom of the screen and I have to scroll the screen up to begin typing. I’m still not happy with a lot of the menu options. TaskPaper? Who still uses that? I don’t, but there it is as a prominent menu item. The pop up menu under Schedule only gives options for today or tomorrow. Why not have a way to pick any date I want?
