I like creating tasks in this design ### 5/5 — Great App - Easy to Use *2026-06-16, version 3.2.2* Downloaded the app and was able to get right into it, really enjoy the look and feel. ### 3/5 — Do items actually get deleted? *2026-06-13, version 3.2.2* Installed on iPad and phone. This morning all items of May and June including deleted and updated showed up with their original dates on my iPad today’s date. Next thing the whole works synched to my phone. What a mess. I don’t really need the app on my iPads so deleted them. I like the app but will stop it from synching with iCloud. ### 5/5 — A very intuitive list organizer *2026-06-12, version 3.2.1* I am an avid listener maker. I wanted to have a list that I could put alerts on for some items and have it be available across my various platforms. I can add things from my phone or while I’m at my computer and it’s so helpful. Being able to add details to the notes is amazing. I made a whole list for my subscriptions I keep forgetting about and so far out of the apps I’ve used I’ve liked this one the most. So I think it’s worth it ### 2/5 — Not great *2026-06-06, version 3.2.1* you have to pay money to do anything more than manually putting in tasks. I would love to be able to make it a routine task but i’m not willing to pay $$… ### 5/5 — Works GREAT for ADHD! *2026-06-02, version 3.2* This app is so simple to put things in, take them out, rearrange them, change their color and make multiple color coded lists. Before this app I had millions of sticky notes and paper lists all jumbled up and never where they needed to be when I needed them. I have this on my iPad and my iPhone so all my lists are always with me when and where I need them and I can change things on the fly at the drop of a hat. LOVE IT! This is the ONLY app I have ever found worth paying for, and I hope it never goes away. ### 4/5 — UPDATED BELOW: Update Created a Mess! *2026-05-29, version 3.2* I’ve come to rely upon this app to manage my daily life (including work). Since the last update, it’s been a nightmare! Every day, the app restored and returns to active EVERY task I’ve completed since 19 MAY. Cancelling my subscription and finding something more reliable. UPDATE: The developer was immediately responsive and asked for specifics about my experience in order to help troubleshoot and update the app. From my side, I turned off syncing and the app on my phone returned to functioning normally. Changed review from 1-star to 4 (and cheering on this developer to make it a 5-star experience like it had been for over a year before the glitch). ### 5/5 — LOVE IT - one thing would help SO MUCH *2026-05-25, version 3.1* This app is the best i’ve used it for years. so much flexibility and somehow remains simple and intuitive. If there could be a way to see ALL tasks as one list (in the same layout as the “next 7 days”) then it would be perfect. that is my only issue with it, and why i sometimes opt for another system, because it’s is tedious to click on each day to see my tasks and events. ### 5/5 — It changed my life in the most efficient way possible! 😃 *2026-05-19, version 3.1* I am a person who will constantly forget tasks the second I enter another room 💀 the simplicity and very efficient design helps me A LOT to quickly write the tasks I need to do at some point in my day or week and categorize them as needed with reminders. Highly recommend using this app as you would be amazed by how little yet powerful tool it becomes during days you need a reminder the most 😅 Thank you so much to the sole developer for making this app as I’m sure it improved a lot of people’s routines! 😊 ### 4/5 — Great app *2026-05-08, version 3.0.1* This is a great app. I love that I can make categories and color code them. One little thing I would love to see in the future is the ability to check things off straight from the apple Widget on my computer. Right now, I have to open the app to do that. ### 5/5 — basically perfect *2026-05-01, version 3.0.1* I love this app, have paid for premium for years and it has been a holy grail to me throughout work and uni. Definitely the best planning app, it’s equal parts user friendly, customizable and detailed enough for busy lives. My only recommendation would be an option for how tasks are sorted by the system each day, would be nice to assign flow based on a tasks time or urgency. ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-04-17, version 3.0.1* Fantastic job of keeping me on task & efficiently completing tasks. ### 5/5 — Powerful, Easy, and Beautiful *2026-04-08* Smart Tasks is an incredible app that combines power, ease of use, and beauty. I’ve tried many apps for organizing my checklist, but most of them were too complicated, lacked essential features, and were not visually appealing. I eventually gave up on them and returned to using paper and pencil. Smart Tasks stands out as a true gem. It’s incredibly easy to use and highly user-friendly. Despite offering a wide range of options, it maintains a simple and intuitive interface, embodying Steve Jobs’ philosophy of “powerful but simple.” The app also boasts a visually appealing design with customizable colors, making it a pleasure to open and use in the morning. The developer behind Smart Tasks appears to be highly responsive and committed to regularly improving the app. He seems to genuinely understand our needs. The fact that the app is available for all devices at a reasonable yearly price is a huge bonus. Overall, Smart Tasks is a fantastic app that has truly changed the way I organize my tasks. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful, easy-to-use, and visually appealing task management app. Remember, achieving a task increase boosts your dopamine levels :) ### 5/5 — my lifeline *2026-04-07, version 3.0.1* I have used this app for a couple years now and I would be insanely lost without it. The customization is perfect!!!! I wouldn’t change a thing. It has every feature you could want but isn’t overstimulating. ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2026-04-01, version 3.0.1* Very affordable and very useful! I love how quick and easy it is to view and add things. You can also color-code everything with endless colors, unlike other apps! Makes ADHD life easier! ### 5/5 — Hi *2026-03-31, version 3.0.1* I love this app it helped me with my Acap test ### 5/5 — I use this every day *2026-03-30, version 3.0.1* I love this app! It’s clean and clear with all of the same functionality of apps that look more crowded/complicated. I love that things can be color coded too. It helps a lot with adhd and overwhelm. The developer is super responsive to suggestions as well which is awesome ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update Created a Mess! *2026-05-27, version 3.1* I’ve come to rely upon this app to manage my daily life (including work). Since the last update, it’s been a nightmare! Every day, the app restored and returns to active EVERY task I’ve completed since 19 MAY. Cancelling my subscription and finding something more reliable. ### 1/5 — Won’t keep my tasks in order *2026-04-27, version 3.0.1* I was loving this app until it started glitching out. When I go to delete a task or mark a task complete it’ll scramble my tasks and take them out of the order they were in. At first I thought maybe it needs an update but I’ve been keeping up with all updates and it still does it and I’m getting tired of reorganizing my tasks all the time ### 1/5 — Will not sync *2026-01-27, version 2.15* This paid for app will not sync between my iPads and my phone. I am also not receiving any communication back from the support team. 👎 ### 1/5 — What’s the point of tasks with no notifications? *2026-01-15, version 2.15* Beautiful app wasted potential. They could’ve made premium features for the colours and customization (I would’ve bought it) but NO. They make you pay if you want to repeat tasks and have notifications. I’m looking for an app to tell me to take vitamins and do homework on time. This app as neither of those abilities ### 1/5 — Ew *2026-01-13, version 2.15* I was supposed to have ad free games for my toddler and it starting showing feet picks and talking about world war 3 and doomsday ### 1/5 — Subscription!? *2025-12-11, version 2.15* A subscription for a TODO app. No thanks. ### 1/5 — Not intuitive *2025-12-05, version 2.15* Thought this would be a nice addition, but not so much pendant paper is easier more efficient. ### 1/5 — Leider völlig verbuggt *2025-11-16, version 2.15* Aufgaben werden alle 2 Monate auf einmal ungeordnet angezeigt, dann darf man alles neu erstellen ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money or space *2025-11-13, version 2.15* This is probably the worst note type app that I have ever used. It’s so limited and provides little to no flexibility. ### 1/5 — I want to love it… *2025-09-30, version 2.15* I reallllly want to love this app. I keep coming back to it but end up so frustrated. I have to spend my time ordering my tasks the way I want them for the day and then they all shift back to where they were before I finish. Categories should group together automatically or they should automatically group by time or something! I really wouldn’t’ mind reordering EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. if it actually stayed in the order I put it. (I wrote this review after reordering my tasks three times this morning only for it to shoot back to where they originally were…now I’m shopping for a new app) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — One of the most creative and simple apps I have seen *2026-08-17, version 3.5* The guy who created this is honestly awe inspiring, one day I was searching inside app-store to find app to my liking and when image popped into my brain about what kind of to do list apps I wanted to download, this came closest to it, honestly can’t underestimate the impact it had and still has on my life, I think creator of this app is very creative yet structured, just ideal match for bringing stuff to life ### 5/5 — Best To Do App *2026-08-17, version 3.5* I have used this app for years and it keeps me organized and efficient. I love everything about it! ### 5/5 — The best to do list app!!! *2026-08-16, version 3.5* I’ve tried so many to do list apps, and none of them come close to the functionality of Smart Tasks. I’ve been using it for years, and each update makes it even better! ### 5/5 — Really really good *2026-08-12, version 3.5* This is a really, really good app ### 5/5 — Best app yet *2026-08-09, version 3.4.1* This is the best app for task lists. I can create many with different colors and can tick them off once complete. If I don’t get to them today, it is easy to update the due date. I really like the whenever option. ### 5/5 — Easy to use—great colors! *2026-08-05, version 3.4.1* I have a lot of tasks. Tasks are easy to set up and modify later. I would love a category like Whenever that can be locked on the top of the 7 day view for those tasks that are super important tasks-more important than prioritize for the day. More like a “these aren’t done YET”????? 😉 ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-29, version 3.4.1* Very intuitive. Easy to use. This is from someone who bounced around the more complicated apps (Reminders, Todoist, etc.). ### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed! *2026-07-14, version 3.3* I just needed a simple task app that worked on my iMac, Macbook, and iPhone. This app checks all those boxes. It's straight forward, simple, easy, clean, and I love the cloud feature to sync it across my devices. A and very necessary for my workflow. ### 5/5 — I’m in love with this app *2026-07-12, version 3.3* This was EXACTLY what my ADHD behind needed 🔥 ### 5/5 — Best app! *2026-07-09, version 3.3* I have been searching for a list that actually does all that I need and I finally found one that is at a reasonable price and easy to use. I adore this app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
