### 4/5 — D Dobler

*2026-03-16, version 10.3.0*

I wish the app was a little easier to use with VoiceOver for the Blind. It’s a good app, but I wish it was easier.

### 2/5 — Setting up a smart list does not work on app & privacy issues

*2025-08-12, version 9.2.0*

I really enjoy RTM however the two major issues I have are: 1-smart lists are basically not functional on the iPhone app, and 2-there are too many privacy concerns (for example app tracks user content). In this day and age, productivity and note apps are only usable  if they are end to end encrypted. I don’t feel comfortable knowing that someone at the back end has access to all of my content and information.

### 2/5 — Стоимость ппц просто нереально высока для этого

*2025-06-15, version 9.2.0*

Чтобы выставить напоминание к задаче нужно выполнить около. 7-8 нажатий и разных манипуляций. Это просто отбивает желание пользоваться этим приложением. Кто такое придумал интересно ? Подписка стоимостью почти 5 тыс. это все таки через чур загнули я считаю. Впрочем, у каждого своё мнение. Но мне думается , что для задачника это необоснованно дорого. Можно купить вместо  этой  подписки целую полноценную программу для компа Things3 которая будет работать без всяких подписок. Она не такой мощный как этот на мой взгляд, но зато и цена меньше в два раза, и задачи он свои выполняет.

### 3/5 — Text is too small

*2025-05-21, version 9.2.0*

I am an older gentleman and the text on iOS is just too small in the app, even when set to their largest size.

### 5/5 — There are no words for how much I love this app

*2025-01-29, version 9.0.3*

Longtime user. It’s just perfect for me and there is nothing else like it.

### 5/5 — Must have

*2025-01-15, version 9.0.3*

One of two my daily must have apps. Strongly recommended. Just be careful on over manage. As playing with tasks in this app is so nice!

### 5/5 — Sehr übersichtlich 🤩

*2025-01-04, version 9.0.3*

Ich mag es das die App so übersichtlich ist . Ich hatte nie Probleme mit der App und hab auch immer meine Termine im Blick gehabt. Super App!!! 👍🥳

### 2/5 — UX is garbage

*2024-10-19, version 9.0.3*

Looks like it’s been written in React or Vue using react native .
First rule of UX is “don’t make me think”. Having to constantly think using this app. 
They need to do some solid UX testing on it.

### 5/5 — RTM

*2024-10-09, version 9.0.2*

I’ve used RTM for years and years. It’s a fantastic app!

### 5/5 — The Best

*2024-09-02, version 8.6.0*

So easy to use for all appointments

### 4/5 — I love this app

*2024-05-01, version 8.5.3*

The only thing that I don’t like is you have to make your own checklist every morning but it is completely free and I highly recommend it

### 1/5 — Almost dead

*2026-05-24, version 10.4.0*

Used it since 2011. Sad to see it being put on life support.

### 1/5 — App Appears Unsupported

*2025-12-05, version 10.1.0*

I had a problem clearing old data from the app to start new. RTM's process only worked on my iPad after multiple tries. Didn't work at all on my Mac or iPhone.

Emailed multiple times requesting assistance. Only reply was from RTM's automated Bob the Monkey acknowledging receipt on my first email. Absolutely nothing after that. No assistance whatsoever. As a result, I'm dropping RTM and moving on.

YMMV, but my advice is: Buyer beware.

### 1/5 — Disappointment

*2025-09-08, version 9.2.0*

This app is no better than the notepad every phone comes with pre installed. I was under the impression that it had actual alarms that would go off when your scheduled task was to be completed, it does not. I can just screenshot my notepad and text my lists to whoever needs to see it. Definitely a great disappointment.

### 1/5 — Had to ruin a great app.

*2025-07-09, version 9.2.0*

This app was and I repeat was a great app.
 Since removing text messages as a reminder it is now useless.

### 1/5 — Requires an account. Cannot test.  Privacy concerns.

*2025-01-07, version 9.0.3*

Unlike several leading todo apps, users are forced to set up an account even to explore the app.  That’s a major concern and an invasive requirement.  I do not want my personal, private information synced to a 3rd party server.  Developers:  Let us explore your app WITHOUT having to set up an account.  Give us an option later of synching, locally or via iCloud if we chose to—and even to skip your servers!  Respect our privacy — and let us try your app without an account; that is, to test the waters first!

### 1/5 — Alarm doesn’t work

*2024-06-02, version 8.5.3*

Crappy app that doesn’t do anything

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2024-04-15, version 8.5.3*

It took a little while to integrate this app with Google calendar, and once I did that I of course realized that my single little test task was hanging out, way up in the boonies above 1 AM, it was barely visible. And of course there is some kind of add on or widget for Google Calendar that is supposed to allow you to edit the task, so maybe you could add a time of day to the task, but I am not going to bother finding out because there are just too many steps and it’s too time consuming.

### 1/5 — Doesn't create notifications for reminders

*2024-04-04, version 8.5.3*

Doesn't perform like a reminder

### 1/5 — Unprofessional subscription service

*2024-02-26, version 8.5.3*

I’ve been using the App Store since its inception- maybe posted 3 reviews. This will be four. As for the app? It functions as intended, no better or worse than others in the App Store. I moved to RTM from Todo which worked great but was clunky for simple tasks. After using remember the milk for a few days I paid for a subscription and went pro. A year later they sent me an email staying the price went up 25% and it was time to upgrade because my subscription expires today. Great customer service- send an expiration reminder on the day the subscription expires. The pro features were shut off before I could even get to my desk at work and copy my subtasks over to the notes area. Typical cash grab apps. They give you subpar features just a bit better than the free apps online and constantly raise fees. I’ll go back to TODO and enjoy the app I only had to pay for one time.

### 5/5 — Effective Organization of Projects and Tasks

*2026-03-12, version 10.3.0*

Fantastic tool for creating listings (or projects) with additional functionality (calendars, reminders, repeat, notes, storage and email integration).  Intuitive interface.  Combined withtThe ability to prioritize then view by “all, today, tomorrow, this week and given to others” with a single selection is quick and easy.

### 5/5 — Genuinely the best To-Do list app

*2026-01-14, version 10.3.0*

This has been the most effective to-do list app I’ve ever used. It understands the need for simple yet powerful tools! I also really appreciate the due-date functionality because it allows me to easily switch between just tasks for today or tomorrow or all week. I genuinely recommend this app

### 5/5 — Mon 2ème cerveau

*2026-01-14, version 10.3.0*

J’utilise cette application depuis de nombreuses années pour organiser mes priorités, mes projets et mes tâches pro & perso. Je n’ai rien trouvé de mieux pour l’instant. Je me sers de l’application aussi bien sur iPhone que sur iPad et sur Safari en mode web (la version la plus avancée). La seule fonctionnalité que j’aimerais avoir et qui n’existe pas serait la possibilité d’imprimer les tâches de toute une semaine dans un format tableau avec les jours en colonnes et les différentes listes en lignes. Cela me permettrait de visualiser une semaine de travail d’un seul coup et mieux organiser mes tâches sur la semaine (un peu en mode Kanban).

### 5/5 — Great List App

*2025-12-30, version 10.3.0*

If you struggle with lists because you are ADHD then this is your app.  Easy to use, you can schedule and prioritize.   I had been using it about a month and love it.  I like filtering out to just the tasks I need to do today.  Sort could be better, I would want it from today forward on due date/time, then priority.   And another sort for priority first then due date/time.  When you get a lot of items like me you need the sorts and filters.

### 5/5 — Optional

*2025-08-20, version 9.2.0*

Optional

### 5/5 — Works for me

*2025-08-06, version 9.2.0*

I gave RTM another try this summer and I’m glad I did. It works well for me in comparison to all the other task apps that try to do too much. I have the Pro plan and have moved all of my tasks and goals to the app. I like it.

### 5/5 — Good task app

*2025-05-29, version 9.2.0*

Simple task app, we used for grocery shopping. Means we have shared the list between family members. Works well. It would be nice if we could share the list through the App. Currently sharing is possible through web interface only. A bit complicated.

### 5/5 — Ну

*2025-02-17, version 9.0.3*

Интересное приложение не похожее на другие, чем и привлекает. 
   Но только одна подписка на 5к?     Думаю было бы здорово добавить возможность подписки на пол года или на месяц

### 5/5 — My own assistant

*2025-02-10, version 9.0.3*

I am gotten used to organize my projects and to-dos with RTM. I’ve been using it for years and it does the job well done

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2025-02-06, version 9.0.3*

Todo lo que esperaba
