### 5/5 — Becca

*2025-10-08*

I love this app!  Easy to use and effective.

### 4/5 — Efficient and User-Friendly To-Do App

*2024-11-15*

This app is a game-changer for staying organized. Its ability to let you speak tasks and automatically add them to your to-do list is incredibly convenient, especially for busy moments. You can also manually input tasks if needed, making it flexible for all preferences. The lock screen widget is a fantastic addition, allowing quick access to your list without unlocking your phone. Overall, a wonderful app that seamlessly combines ease of use with powerful functionality. Highly recommended!

### 2/5 — Continuously gets stuck on loading screen

*2024-08-07*

No longer usable, too bad I really liked it in the past
Note to developer I have deleted and re-downloaded this app easily 10 times to try to work around the frozen loading screen 
it works for a day or two and then freezes again it does this on both my iPhone 15 as well as my iPad so I don’t think it’s hardware related

Old review: Five stars, well-made, just works
For quick voice memo style notes, nothing beat this app BTW I’m not connected to the developer even though I sound that way

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback. Nothing makes us happier than reading a comment like yours! Have a nice day.

### 5/5 — Perfect!

### 4/5 — Love this App!

*2023-03-10*

I love this app. It has saved me a lot of time with writing multiple to do list on pieces of paper and putting them together. I particularly love the feature of speaking the list, which has saved me a lot of time in writing and organizing. The app developers are super responsive to questions and suggestions and seem committed to improving the product. I look forward to the updates.

### 2/5 — Nice concept but ….

*2023-01-10*

App is nice , but it is in very nascent stage , it requires a lot to be updated as compared to other to-do similar apps. Hope it catches up soon..

### 5/5 — iCloud間でデータ連携について

*2022-12-19, version 1.3.12*

便利に利用させてもらっています。 同じapple idでログインしているiPadとiphoneで データが連携されません。 設定画面では2台とも「iCloudにデータ保存」をONにしていますが、 他にも何か設定が必要でしょうか？ よろしくお願いいたします。

(2022/12/19追記)
ご連絡ありがとうございます。
解決いたしました。

※行った方法
設定を見直しましたが、誤りは無かったので、
iPadのタスクを一旦全て削除して再度やり直しましたら、連携内容(iphoneに登録したタスク)を
表示する事ができました。

※考えられる原因について
iphoneでタスク登録した状態でiCloudをONにする。
次にiPadでiCloud同期をONにする前に、
ローカルでタスクを登録しました。
その後にiCloud同期をONにしました。
すると、iPadにiCloud上にない(ローカル)タスクがある事になり、iCloud上のデータがiPadへ
上書きできないようになったのではないでしょうか。
---------
これからも使わせていただきます。
ありがとうございました。

### 1/5 — Good, but no upgrade path

*2022-10-02*

I had been using the developers’ prior app, Voice ToDo and liked it. SpeakTask replaced it and it works even better, except for one large flaw: there is no way to import data from the old app to the new app. So, if you have large to-do lists in the old app, you’re stuck with either a) using the old app for them or b) recreating them in the new app. Just be aware that there is no data transfer when you upgrade.

Update: I’ve had to downgrade this app. This is the second time I’ve lost all my data. I use iCloud syncing and when the app was updated a few days ago everything was gone. While the concept of the app is nice, the implementation has too many flaws. It’s simply unusable if it will keep randomly erasing all my notes.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback and continuously using our apps! We are sorry for your trouble caused by the lack of task transfer feature. It would require some complicated data processing as the data structure of the two apps are completely different. We would look into it if there is pressing demand, but we need to prioritize other features for now. Again, we are sorry for the trouble and hope you will understand. Have a nice day!
----------
(Update on Oct 16th) We have identified a potential problem that may be causing the issue and the fix will be included in the next version (1.3.10). Again, we sincerely apologize for all the troubles and thank you very much for reporting the issue.

### 5/5 — Five stars, well-made, just works
