Repeat

This app is absolutely ridiculous. She put something in to repeat on a certain day each week and suddenly you have six of the same item each week.

Not impressed worst app ever.

Nice UI but Lack of Multi-select hinders app

The UI is stunning and I love how an item can “live” in multiple lists. Every app should allow this. Two things keep me from using Task Flow more regularly: a) inability to drag an item from a list and then into a different list in the side bar and b) inability to select multiple items at once.

Good One

It's a good one app and i love it

Blatant Things 3 Ripoff

This app is a blatant ripoff of Things 3.

Good One

It's a good one app and i love it

Lovely surprise

I’m always looking for a better task app and I just love Task Flow-frictionless, so great having multiple homes for tasks, and Canadian!!

Excellent task app with great data privacy.

Easy yet has most features you need with added privacy as data uses your iCloud account.

Way better then Things 3

Some small flaws. Not sure how good costumer support it. App Icon Image will change back

Good good easy to work with

Getting better

An Excellent and High-Quality App

The interface is intuitive, sync is smooth and the overall feature set feels polished without unnecessary clutter. The lifetime option offers excellent value compared to other competing task apps.

Totally worth it!

I really like how it handles my complicated projects while keeping my daily to do list simple. Being able to use the built in focus timer is awesome for actually getting things done without distractions.

There are better options

This app is buggy and hard to follow. The FLOW of the tasks doesn’t flow well at all. There are better apps for managing daily activities and projects with a far more intuitive and graceful UI than this one.

Easiest I’ve tried

I’ve tried a lot of apps and this is the best I’ve found. I love how I can drag tasks to different positions, and move them to different (or multiple) lists. I really really like how the completed tasks can be unchecked for things I repeatedly have on my list. I started with my iPhone app and then added the app to my desktop. I wish they had it for my iWatch and they said they’re working on it when I asked for that. Very responsive customer service. I Highly recommend!

Tasks Checklists That Flow

I’m excited to try this out and grateful to do so 🙏

Archiving

Can’t archive completed tasks/projects.

Still not there

Gets close to being ultimate task manager but falls short.

- Still no Apple Watch app or even a hint of one.
- Those quotes are a distraction. Still no hide or customization option. I don’t want to be annoyed with quotes I don’t resonate with every day. It’s not considerate of user experience. Not everyone is the same.
— Much rather have a timer than Pomodoro which I won’t use.

Most of my previous suggestions haven’t been addressed. The above are the top three. Just communicates you don’t care too much for the feedback or are tunnel visioned on things that don’t matter as much as the things I’ve already mentioned. I wouldn’t bother writing if I didn’t think the app had amazing potential. I was looking forward to trying it again after the 4.0 update but my feedback has not been addressed and this is now years later after I shared them. If you ever make some of these changes I will reevaluate then. Take it easy.

# Great Potential

Very promising and beautifully designed app.

### Things I appreciate ...
• Clean and pleasing interface with color highlights via themes
• Can assign a task to multiple projects
• Unlimited subtasks
• Image and file attachments
• Project icons
• Full Screen notes view editor with Markdown support
• iCloud sync
• Mac app
• Multiple icon choices
• Board view with editable sections
• Non-invasive privacy policy
• Family sharing
• Lifetime purchase option
• Actively Developed
### Things that hold me back upgrading to Plus
• Subtasks can't be assigned to Focus, Today or Upcoming.
• Upcoming doesn't allow you to drag and drop tasks between dates for easy scheduling.
• No System calendar integration.
• No Reminder import.
• Callback URLs not clickable in Notes field.
• Timer doesn't integrate with tasks — The desired behavior would allow you to associate the timer with any task or subtask and keep a running log of how much time spent on tasks and projects. Also a straight time logger as an alternative to Pomodoro would be preferred for some (as an alternative option).
• Missing Apple Watch app and not on the Roadmap.
### Few other little things that could improve the user experience ...
• Allow us to add a new task from the app icon for quick entry.
• Task / subtask / project creation dates placed discretely.
• Contextual menu support for tasks / subtasks for quickly scheduling or adding to projects, etc.
• Section icons (like for projects).
• The ability to turn off quotes on Today view and ideally be able to add our own custom quotes if we desire.
• It is confusing to have two different elements named the same (Focus view and Focus timer) — maybe change the name of one of them so their purpose is unambiguous.
• Custom tab — let user add a view (I.e., a project, Today, Upcoming) as one of the tabs at the bottom.
All of these suggestions were offered in the spirit of helping Task Flow to reach its highest potential. Thank you for listening.

suggestions

would be helpful to allow mobility of tasks within “today” tab. i.e. rather than priority only way to sort allow drag to top of list

Officially old

I don’t understand how it works. I added a list of things I need to do on task flow app instead of on iPhone calendar or a simple notebook. Everything so complicated and Tim consuming :(

Task Flow in use

Works well in use and does exactly what you need to ensure you never miss another appointment.

Excellent and easy on the eyes!

The UI is excellent, the speed is great and the pomo is a nice add on.
