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. ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2026-06-24, version 3.2.2* This app is absolutely amazing for anyone wanting to be organised who loves a colour coded way of working ### 5/5 — Aesthetically nice! *2026-06-24, version 3.2.2* Such a cool aesthetic. 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. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Super “To Do” App! *2026-10-15, version 3.7* I’m a long-time happy user of Smart Tasks. The app has tremendous features for keeping me organized. Love the color-coding UI for organizing my tasks into groups. Love the widgets. Love the quick responses from the developer when I have a question. Love the frequent updates with new features. This is a must-have app for anyone who wants to keep their life in order. ### 1/5 — High price for low features *2026-08-25, version 3.5* £11 per annum isn’t a lot, but too much for a very basic to do list. Now cancelled. ### 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 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best simple planner app *2026-10-01, version 3.6* As a person who has tried countless apps and planners to manage my time, this one has stuck with me. It is very simple, which was something that I was looking for. ### 5/5 — my lifeline *2026-09-24, version 3.6* 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 — What an AMAZING app!!!!! *2026-09-21, version 3.6* This app is simply phenomenal! Very simple and super straightforward, which was exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Go to app to keep me sane *2026-09-19, version 3.6* I’ve tried several apps and kept coming back to this. The features fit my needs, it’s easy to configure and modify and is reasonably priced. ### 5/5 — Best app yet *2026-09-18, version 3.6* 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 — Great App To Keep You Organized *2026-09-18, version 3.6* I have been using this app for a couple of years now and it has been very useful at keeping me on task. You can enter a single task or tasks that are recurring like checking the filter on the ductless heating/AC unit each month. I especially like being able to add notes and reminders to tasks. I highly recommend this app. ### 5/5 — A Great All Purpose App! *2026-09-18, version 3.6* Thank you, Francesco for this wonderful multiple uses app! I needed an app for scheduling appointments, perpetual tutoring sessions, etc. I’m glad your app also allows me to insert some emoji which I matched to my tasks & to help mme identify some of my students & interests! Your app replaces an app I had used years ago & is now no longer in service. **Suggestion: Please, could you consider making some specialized task symbols (that are just a little larger than emoji,) that we could insert along with our written tasks information —for example: medical, sports/recreation, school, grocery & shopping ones? I think this would ADD to the attractiveness! TY in Advance! 🙂 ### 5/5 — One suggestion sorry if it doesn’t make sense *2026-09-03, version 3.5* I have ADHD and can never remember to do things and I have an Apple Watch that I use smart tasks on, I think we should be able to get notifications at a set time for something to do ### 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! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
