Uncluttered yet has everything

I love using this app to organise my routine tasks for the week. It has so many options for organising the tasks yet it never feels cluttered or too complicated like so many of the to-do apps out there.
It’s also great for habit forming.

Love Using it Every Day

I live a very busy, active lifestyle with 4 children in tow, this app helps me stay focused on the daily/weekly tasks that need to get done. Would be great if the tasks could easily be re-ordered. Other than this, love it!

Good app, needs minor adjustments

I like that the intervals are highly adjustable. The one change I would make is that I wish there was a setting so that the task would come due one interval after it was last completed. So if it’s a 1 week task that you complete on Thursday, it comes due next Thursday. Id also like if my husband could purchase the app and share my list, and as we completed tasks it would update the other persons list too. I’d like that, but otherwise it’s a good app.

Good routine tracking app

I really don’t like cluttering my Things app with normal routing things, so I tried this app to enter all of my regular habits. So far, I really like it. It allows you to set custom intervals for tasks (every 2 weeks, 1st Wednesday of each month, day 15 of each month, once every 3 months), making it very flexible. You can also set custom alerts for each task. There are a lot of settings, but they aren’t too hard to set. It can even be set to uncheck the tasks at the next interval automatically. One thing that it doesn’t do, though, is keep stats on how often you complete your routine, but I don’t really need this for what I am doing.

There are a few things I wish the app would do differently. For one thing, if you set an alert, it goes off at the time you set it even if you have checked off the task as completed for that day. It allows you to set a task for a time interval, but you can’t set, for example, a weekly task that can be completed any time during the week. You have to at least set a day.

You can set alerts before the time to complete a task, but you can’t set alerts to fire after the time interval if you haven’t completed the task or have repeating alerts if the task is not addressed.

It has a today page to show what you need to do today, but it doesn’t allow you to customize it to see more upcoming tasks.

Of course, it lacks any kind of cloud sync, but I can live with out this.
