### 2/5 — とても使いやすいが

*2025-11-01*

とにかく同期が不安定
いつまで待ってもしてなかったり即同期したりで、どのデバイスが最新なのかとてもわかりにくい
せめて他のデバイスのバックアップデータから上書きできるようにして欲しい

前回のレビューから2カ月以上経っても全く改善の気配なし
即同期する事もあるが、一番同期して欲しい時に　2〜3日前のデータのまま一向に同期されない(他のデバイスで入力したもの)事が多く、話にならない

### 5/5 — Ошибка

*2023-11-11*

Здравствуйте, не работает переход по ссылке из календаря в приложение. Нажимая на ссылку в календаре, открывается приложение но не на странице заметки. И после выполнения задачи она не исчезает в календаре.
Version: Priorities 4.8.4 (4804094)
Device: iPhone14,2 (17.1.1)
Locale: ru_RU

### 5/5 — AMAZING!!!!

*2023-08-14, version 4.7.19*

This is exactly what I was looking for!!!!  Disclaimer - I am not using or wanting to use it to integrate with calendar or reminders at this point, just using it to make lists for different categories in my life.  Love:  can move items in order of priority within list, can “star” items, but most of all LOVE:  can click on “priorities” see all “star” items from different categories at once - basically the stuff I have to do today!!!  My priorities!!!!  Looking at individual lists helps me get organized mentally and not overwhelmed, but priorities lists helps me not to forget what I have to do today.  This is amazing!!!!  Well worth the money!!!  Thank you developer!!! It is also clean and simple - not overwhelming to look at or learn.

### 4/5 — 長らくアップデートなし

*2023-02-07*

もうずっと使ってる。iPhone4sぐらいの時からずっと安定して使えてますね。
LOOK & FEELは、類似アプリの中でもピカイチでしょう。ほぼ毎日使うので、見た目の良さは非常重要です。iPhone用アプリではあるものの、ウェブ版もあるので、実際にはMacでもWindowsでも環境を選びません。

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2022-09-10, version 4.7.19*

It was perfect but recently the calendar view has changed to Monday as the first day of the week, and my iPad settings have Sunday as the 1st day. I can’t see how to fix this, which creates confusion for my old brain when setting a new reminder. Otherwise brilliant in its ability to have various flexible reminders.

### 3/5 — Пожелание

*2022-01-04*

Сделайте что бы как главные заметки так и под заметки можно было менять местами. Спасибо.

### 4/5 — Great, but needs Dark Mode

*2021-11-17, version 4.7.19*

Great app that I’ve been using for years, but really need Dark Mode support.

### 5/5 — Темная тема.

*2021-09-21*

Добрый день. Тёмную тему не планируете сделать. Было бы неплохо.

### 5/5 — Extremely Useful...

*2021-08-03, version 4.7.19*

Love this app.  Most logical and quick app with total intuitive control of the info and the breakdown and the scheduling. I see you added a phone link.  That is one of the things I was hoping for. This app deserves a 5-Star rating. 

I’d like to be able to look at my accomplishments at the end of the day, and I haven’t figured about a way to see them all in one place. It would be a nice addition.

Thank you for creating this app.

### 5/5 — Best to do list ever

*2021-04-17, version 4.7.17*

I’ve tried many to do list apps over the years and this is the only one that does everything I need without being overly complicated. Very easy to use and with the right amount of flexibility. I love the ability to snooze reminders and creating sub-items that can be expanded and collapsed. Highly recommend it!

### 5/5 — Super

*2021-04-01*

Was habe ich nicht schon alles an ToDo Apps ausprobiert. Komplexe Apps mit GTD-Unterstützung, ganz simple und so ziemlich alles dazwischen. 
Nichts hat wirklich "gepasst".

Priorities schließlich ist einfach, aber nicht zu simpel. Gleichzeitig wird die Anwendung nicht zum Selbstzweck wie bei vielen komplexen Anwendungen und GTD-Tools. 

Positiv hervorzuheben sind die gleichzeitige Nutzung im Webbrowser und auch der Sync ist mit dabei, kostet nicht extra!, zudem die Option, Listen mit anderen zu teilen, die Konzentration auf wirklich wichtige Funktionen und natürlich das ansprechende Design.

Die Browserapplikation und die Synchronisation mit der App funktionieren perfekt. Gut wäre hier ein größer bemessenes "Notes"-Feld, wie in der App selbst.

Wünschenswert in der App wären eine differenziertere Erinnerungsfunktion, z.B. für Termine, an die man deutlich im Vorfeld erinnert werden will (bisher gehen bis 2 Wochen im Voraus), z.B. für den Ablauf / die Kündigung von Verträgen und eine Tagging-Funktion, um eine Aufgabe mehreren Kontexten zuzuordnen.

### 4/5 — 使い易い

*2021-03-31*

全ての未完タスク が一覧表示されれば、実施予定が立て易くなると思います。

### 5/5 — Идеальное приложение для деловых пометок

*2021-03-16*

Не представляю уже без него своей рабочей недели. Всё удобно организовано, после лёгкой настройки на авто присвоение новым делам даты и времени, за секунды вносятся новые дела которые потом легко отслеживать, переносить на другой день или зацикливать (раз в день/неделю (можно и по дням недели)/раз в год (ДР) и так далее. Очень рад такому помощнику. 5 звезд!

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2021-03-10, version 4.7.17*

Easy use for those not proficient with computers, Apps and Smartphones. If your are always in a time crunch you can add your list setup alerts in a few minutes. Good Job.

### 4/5 — So close

*2020-12-21, version 4.7.17*

I would love this application if it had one feature. You cannot add multiple sub-tasks within a sub-task. I love that you can create templates. This app is easy to use and the work flow makes sense. 

 I pay a monthly fee to Todoist because it has this feature. Outside of that I much prefer priorities.

### 5/5 — Happily Back With Priorities

*2020-07-22, version 4.7.17*

Bounced around between various todo apps since writing my initial review but now firmly back with priorities 

There’s always the lure of other apps but in my opinion there’s none more solid than this one.

### 3/5 — За годы пользования мое первое расстройство

*2020-07-08*

С недавних пор почему то нет возможности прямо на основной странице отметить выполнение задачи. Приходится заходить в неё и уже там в клеточке отмечать...

### 5/5 — The very best!👍👍👍👍👍

*2020-07-02, version 4.7.17*

Simply stated the very best task manager! This blows all the others out of the water. One time purchase and cloud services forever. Did I mention office365 and outlook integration.

### 4/5 — A great App

*2020-06-11, version 4.7.17*

I’ve been looking for a Wunderlist replacement for a while now. Microsoft To Do came close but this is certainly better. Just two improvements from my point of view though.

1.   Allow the font size to be modified

2.  Allow full screen for tasks. At the moment the screen is shared by the pages section on the left with tasks on the right. As per Wunderlist please allow a swipe function to display tasks full screen.

### 1/5 — Disappeared

*2025-02-23, version 4.8.4*

What happen? It stop working. All my tasks are deleted.

### 1/5 — 通知

*2020-01-24*

通知を許可しているのですが、サウンドは鳴らないし、バナーも表示されません何故でしょう？これでは使えないです。他の機能は素晴らしいだけに残念。

### 1/5 — Due daye bugs

*2019-10-09, version 4.7.10*

They just fixed some bugs but created a bigger one.  The monthly calendar where you put in the due date for a priority is completely messed up. FIX IT!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Разрабы!!! Вы забросили приложение!??? Так и скажите

*2019-04-05*

Печаль. ...PS или не печаль. Ушел от вас в ToDoist. Теперь все серьезнее)

### 1/5 — Отметка выполненных задач

*2018-02-18*

После того как сворачиваешь приложения и открываешь его вновь, перестают ставятся галочки для отметки выполненного задания, нельзя добавить новые задачи. Нужно выгрузить приложение полностью и запустить его вновь, тогда все работает до первого сворачивания. Не хватает FaceID. Пожалуйста исправьте данную проблему.

### 1/5 — Not so hot

*2016-11-24, version 4.1.2*

Deleted items keep returning. I cannot recommend this app.

### 1/5 — It only works, but NOT great!!

*2014-12-21, version 4.1.1*

Expected a great features of this app, but very disappointed after brought this.
Would suggest Hi-task to everyone. This app, just works, but NOT great, better dont waste money if anyone looking for better than just "works".

### 1/5 — Shame

*2014-11-09, version 4.1.1*

I used to recommend Priorities to anyone who'd listen, I even gifted it to a couple of people. I think I fell out of love with it though when, having contacted HCC about the lack of an iTunes backup, they replied to say that it wasn't needed, that they were happy with the system they had in place and that it wouldn't be coming anytime soon.

Shortly afterwards something went wrong and I (& other customers), lost our data. As if by magic, iTunes backups then appeared in a subsequent release.

Forward-wind and I've downloaded Priorities out of curiosity to see what's changed in the many months since I deleted it.
The new UI is awful, for a start and things they could have improved, well they just haven't.

I'm afraid it has now fallen by the wayside and has been overtaken by other, better, apps.

Sorry HCC, deleted again! Such a shame, it could have been brilliant once.

### 1/5 — 同期出来なくなった

*2014-04-01*

同期出来なくなった
データ消えた

### 1/5 — FANTASTIC!!!

*2013-06-24, version 3.3.2*

Very few apps have thought things through as much as these guys. They really understand the process and needs of to do lists and setting priorities. Well done! I have my whole company using this now. 

Excellent!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — 심플. 완벽.

*2026-07-24*

심플하면서도 원하는대로 자 정리할수 있어요. 폴더.페이지. 서브 아이템. 이동. 알람. 메모, 우선순위, 지금당장. 매트릭스, . . 간단하게 보이는데 하고 싶은건 다 할수.있어요. 할일 매트릭스 우선순위 최고의 어플. 강력추천.

### 5/5 — Top App mein Begleiter seit 10 Jahren

*2025-10-15*

Diese App ist für mich simpel und zugleich einfach und flexibel in der Handhabung. Ich benutze sie seit nun zehn Jahren und finde es genial, dass ich mich auch von jedem Computer über den Browser einloggen und meine Prios checken kann. Priorisieren, ohne großen Schnickschnack. Perfekt für mich. Vielen Dank euch.

### 5/5 — Daily goto

*2025-08-12, version 4.8.4*

I have used this App many times a day for many years now. It is so intuitive, simple to use and can function in the way you choose it to. Remembering the system for organising you find the easiest is the one you’ll actually use. Priorities serves me very well indeed. Every so often I look on the App Store for alternatives, it has to be said nothing touches this one in terms of usability and user friendliness, most newer Apps simply add fanciness and functionality rarely used that just adds complexity in my opinion. I cannot recommend Priorities highly enough.

### 5/5 — Нужна темная тема!

*2025-07-04*

Нужна темная тема!

### 5/5 — Что-то с синхронизацией

*2025-06-26*

Где-то неделю глюки с синхронизацией, не каждый раз успешно синхронизируется

### 5/5 — Nahezu perfekt!

*2024-09-30*

Die App macht genau das, was eine To-Do-App zu machen hat. Ausreichend tief strukturiert und trotzdem leicht zu bedienen. Was mir fehlt, ist genau diese App beim Konkurrenzsystem. Die Entwickler sollten unbedingt eine solche programmieren. Ich wäre der erste, der einen vernünftigen Einmalbetrag dafür investiert. — An Apple: Ich habe vorher nicht und auch dieses Mal nicht gegen den Abschnitt L verstoßen!!!

### 5/5 — This app is a hidden gem

*2024-05-25, version 4.8.4*

It’s amazing that it’s so simple on the surface, but yet if you want more capabilities, they’re right there just waiting for you.
I can make a simple list of things to do, and it’s super easy with Voice mode and the NEXT button. 
Or I can make a separate page for projects, with scheduled dates.and detail in the notes. 
I can have a separate page for my Mom’s needs, and they pop-up in my FIRE list. 
I’d like to attach contacts, and I wish it went one level deeper for more complex projects. But I really wish it had a report that I could review at the end of the day to look at all my glorious accomplishments using this simple, elegant tool.
I’d gladly pay for these extra features, but I’m happy that it does 95% of what i need just the way it is! Kudos to your skills in design and execution.

### 5/5 — I use Priorities every day!

*2024-03-21, version 4.8.4*

It took me a little while to streamline the information I needed to process with Priorities, but I now have a smooth system that keeps me up-to-date with my various responsibilities. The "repeating" function has permitted me to enter my weekly, monthly, yearly, and even periodically repetitive tasks. It gives me TREMENDOUS peace of mind knowing that Priorities will remind me of all upcoming responsibilities. POWERFUL AND FLEXIBLE APP FOR SUCH A SMALL PRICE.

### 5/5 — Einfach und gut!

*2024-03-19*

Nutze diese App seit über 10 Jahren. Sie ist täglicher Begleiter aller meiner Aktivitäten. Der Umfang der Möglichkeiten ist super und die App läuft und synchronisiert auf dem iPhone/iPad und Web hervorragend. Wirklich empfehlenswert!

### 5/5 — Great app. I couldn’t live without it.

*2024-02-04, version 4.8.4*

A great app & my most used app. I couldn’t live without it- use it throughout each and every day for work, personal, and household. Easy to use, very customizable. Developer is easy to contact, work with, and fast to respond.
