Cures an endless list
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.

Approaching Unusability
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.

Issues logging in all the time
It’s a decent app but I am sick and tired of it asking me to register my account once a month
No GPT / Claude connection
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 …

Seriously?
App freezes ALL. THE. TIME.
White text on a light gray background??
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.
Good but still buggy
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?

Плохо
Я вижу, мой отзыв удалили, придется его повторить.
Я платил за предыдущие версии, теперь с меня опять хотят денег за версию OF 4, а работающую версию OF 3 удалили из AppStore.
В ответ на такой же ранее опубликованный отзыв получил ответ от поддержки с предложением «If you need to reinstall OmniFocus 3, and you are signed in with the Apple ID it was originally purchased with, it will be available for reinstallation via the Purchases list in the App Store». Вот только нет в списке OF 3, уважаемые, не работает ваш совет.

Brilliant
I’ve been using this app for over 10 years. It’s not perfect, and sometimes a change makes it worse (I sometimes wonder if the people who write it actually use it - I review 30-40 projects every day, and that workflow has got more tedious over the years with every extra little tap). But it’s the only task manager with Review that I’ve found, it syncs, it has defer, it deals with time zones, it’s scriptable, it’s reasonably nice to look at, and I was dismayed to see it didn’t have 5 stars and worry that others might not give it a good go so here are some stars.

Daily plans
My day is much smoother and less complicated using OF4. Once I organized my daily routines for work and personal everything was much easier. I added tags (field, desk, email / calls). This improved daily plans focus. The forecast section makes the future plans easier
Powerful Once You Settle Into It
I’ve been testing OmniFocus 4 over the past week to organize both my work tasks and a few ongoing personal projects. What I appreciate most is how flexible the system is. Being able to combine projects with tags makes it easy to organize tasks in a way that actually matches how I think. I’ve been using tags for context (like “calls” or “at desk”), and it’s surprisingly helpful when deciding what to work on next. The Forecast view is another highlight. It gives a clear picture of what’s coming up without feeling overwhelming, which has made planning my day a lot smoother.

Simply the Best!
I don’t know where we would be without this app! We use it everyday to keep our business running. Unlike even Apple apps, it syncs everything perfectly, even between various users. Our highest recommendation!!
The Gold Standard for Complex Workflows
OmniFocus 4 takes an already powerful system and makes it feel much more modern and fluid. The ability to quickly capture tasks and then organize them into deep project hierarchies is unmatched. I love the Forecast view for keeping my day on track without getting overwhelmed by the big picture. It’s a serious tool for people who have a lot of moving parts to manage.

Love Omnifocus 4
I’ve used a lot of task apps, but OmniFocus 4 is the one I’ve actually stuck with. It helps me keep up with school, work, and everyday tasks without feeling overwhelming. I really like the forecast view and quick capture feature since they make it easy to stay organized. Took a little time to learn, but now I use it every day.

Pretty - but functionally more difficult to use
In v4 many of the features I use from v3 are difficult to find, Clicks in the User Interface do not do what I want them to do; less intuitive; navigation is frustrating. I'm going back to v3 til navigation and functionality have matured in v4. (Update May 2026) - I dropped v4 and went back to v3. If v4 does not get updated with the feature sets from v3 that all worked well - I will altogether drop omnifocus, and start looking for another app. No way I will consider paying money for anything v5 when the money I paid for v4 has already been wasted.

Losing its way: How OmniFocus 4 is alienating its veteran user base
As a power user of OmniFocus for 10+ years, I am deeply disappointed by the recent direction of the app. The UI feels over-designed and counter-intuitive, stripping away the streamlined efficiency that long-term users rely on.
The monetization strategy is equally frustrating. Forcing long-term customers to pay a steep premium (nearly ¥900) for basic functionality like Custom Perspectives feels like a breach of trust. Furthermore, the removal of the calendar export/subscription feature is a massive regression. The Forecast view is simply not a viable replacement for Apple Calendar integration.
It feels as though the current design team has lost touch with what made OmniFocus a gold standard for productivity. I urge you to reconsider these "anti-user" changes and bring back the functional simplicity that defined this software. Don't let "new" features be the death of a great tool.

Response from developer
Thanks for sharing your feedback - we're sorry to hear that OmniFocus 4 has not met your expectations! In case it's helpful, we did want to provide a bit more context about the two specific changes you noted in your review: • Custom Perspectives have been a feature of the Pro edition of OmniFocus since OmniFocus 2 was released in 2014. As an owner of a previous edition of OmniFocus, you should have been eligible for a 50% upgrade discount when purchasing OmniFocus 4 (Standard or Pro). If you recently upgraded at full price, our Sales team would be happy to look into this with you! They can be reached by email at sales@omnigroup.com • Support for publishing due OmniFocus items to a calendar was removed in OmniFocus 3, which was released in 2018. While we know some OmniFocus customers found this feature helpful in their calendar-based workflows, it was originally implemented as a method for enabling due alarms and there were a number of factors which complicated our ability to continuing supporting the feature (including the introduction of OmniFocus database encryption and persistent authentication issues related to iCloud keychain).
Leistungsstarkes Tool für Ambitionierte
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.
