Extremely useful and unique, but a little buggy sometimes
This is a super helpful app to organize long projects or sets of tasks using dependencies - it lets you focus on what’s needed or possible now and then hide what you don’t need to worry about yet. Definitely helps one stay on track.
There are bugs in the UI. Sometimes the flowchart disappears or has glitches, and you need to restart the app. Fortunately data loss has not been an issue. Also, some details such as needing to click in the text box to start typing a task name (rather than having it pre-selected after creating it), or not being able to bulk-edit (eg, color-coding several tasks at once) would make it easier to use.
But overall an extremely functional tool that doesn’t have any peer.

Excellent view
It visualizes ideas exceptionally well quickly, unlike any other.
I moved from OmniFocus UI because lack of a flowchart visalize and Taskheat accepted the import of 1,000+ tasks and 100+ products great.
A feature users may not be aware of is Taskheat works with Focus Filters

The best
If you looked at my download history since 2013 you will see hundreds of defunct mindmap flowchart to-do apps. Nothing visualizes the way I wanted. MIRO comes close but it’s much more for a team setting and lots of pretty things. However, Taskheat sorts automatically and is straight to the point. It is perfect for me. I migrated from Omnifocus to get away from the UI and visualize connections! I successfully exported/imported 1,000+ tasks 100+ projects from a .CSV because TaskHeat excels at visually connecting everything. This made it quite SLOW until I slimmed everything down. You can see as a Flowchart or a LIST. and even in a LIST you can DRAG connections of tasks, called prerequisites and dependencies.. Every tasks has a connector wire that lets you link with other tasks. — If I had to give one suggestion it would be to let users begin typing the task name after creating a new task (instead of having to manually click.

Looks good!
Looks good one purchase for all latforms.
Great app. It simplifies the chaos that is my task list.
I really enjoy using this app. Would recommend to friends who like using flowcharts to organize task lists.
This app would be even better if it had a browser accessible version.
I’ve so far been using this app to track my one off personal tasks and also my personal habits.

It's OK
Recently revisiting. It's a handy app for tasks; however, I am seeing no way to reorder items under headings. Drag & Drop does not work. Frustrating...
Needs iPad Improvements
Great application on desktop; however, I am not able to connect tasks with Apple Pencil or touch input.
No longer so promising and useful
I agree with the other reviewers - this is a promising piece of software and it is useful right now, but it's not a fully fledged task management solution at the moment. Not yet.
There are many features still needed - repeating tasks, for example. Also tweaks and polish - the ability to have a due date without a time, for example. But a great start and a good looking, fairly intuitive piece of software. Others have reported crashes - not me - stable across my platforms.
And tt's great that it works across all platforms. Much to comend it.
At the moment I'm using it purely as a visual workflow planner and for that alone it's great and worth the price.
Get on board now, purchase it at a great price while you can, give the developers some encouragement. This could, eventually, be a really essential app.
-Update 1
The developer is working hard to fix bugs and add features. Synchronisation has recently seen major improvements and now seems to work really well. Other new features have been added, such as the much needed Undo. This is starting to get to be quite a solid offering. Still more needed - repeating tasks, tasks without a due time but with a due date. After about a year of using this software it's still delivering for me. Glad I stuck with it.
-Update 2
The app just starting crashing on my Mac. Probably related to some kind of sync issue since I had just made a change. Although the Mac app would not start, the iPad and iPhone apps still worked so I was able to get to my data. I tried to contact the developer - no response. I tried to remove the Mac OS app after backing up my iPad data and then re-install it. Several attemps - no improvement. The Mac app is obviously getting stuck and I've tried using various dev tools to see what is going wrong but can't find it. With no support from the developer, I'm afraid it's goodbye TaskHeat. I'll use a MindMapping tool instead, which is very similar, and more stable. Shame. It was a useful app. Just not stable and without any support, of no use primetime.

This app is terrible
No sorting of tasks. Flowchart puts the tasks where ever it wants and you cannot move them. Linking is hit or miss. Import is terrible. I defined the links between tasks in the CSV file and it ignores them. STAY AWAY!!!
Great App
I rarely write reviews but this app is just amazing. beats all other apps of the same kind easly. I use it to map projects, brainstorm.
Good but...
A little jittery and kind of explodes if I add too many connections, or try and connect two paths that are too far apart on the tree, which I need. Still good though.
Great idea & great philosphy
I love the idea and the experience I have had from installation, to user guides, to syncing, to tech support, to privacy and finally to purchasing have all been superb. I have loaded a lot of info in and had very little issues. I feel very happy to support this company.
Update : 2 years on
Still use this nearly every day on two iPads and an iPhone. Customer support is still great. Thanks everyone.

App doesn’t work as intended
The simplest thing as adding a new task doesn’t work correctly because the layout just goes crazy not showing new information. When it does work, navigation is start tripping. The idea is great but execution need a lot of work. I paid for this app and see potential but developer/s need to put in that work.

TASK TRASH
App has bugs seems abandonded i tired and it failed good idea tho
A Potential Game-Changer with a Critical Issue
I really think the app "TaskHeat" is a great application and could potentially be a game-changer among all other "to-do" apps in the market. However, there is a significant flaw we should not ignore. In some situations, after you create a task and three subtasks, when you click on one of the subtasks, all four tasks, including the main task and three subtasks, are marked as done simultaneously. This is definitely not right. As I mentioned, I'm really glad that I found this app, but please fix this issue to improve my experience. Best regards.

Excellent app
This is an excellent app that use frequently.
Broken
On first launch couldn't even add a task - doube clicking the canvas and choosing add task from the menu both did nothing.
Quit, relaunched and could then add a task, but given that it's obviously broken I wouldn't trust it to remember my lunch.

Awesome tool for quickly mapping out and visualising task dependencies
Love using this tool. Some potential improvements:
- add ability to generate a shareable URL (which updates when changes are made)
- add export to PNG/PDF/SVG function
- prevent dark colours from inverting when shrink to fit (affects print to PDF too)

Please… Fix the small issues with iOS, make it great!
On macOS, the app is superb. On iOS, it’s not as good.
Are you able to push this over the line into greatness?
Thanks

Nice app, but I wish some things were different.
Here is what I like about this app:
- The organization chart aspect is wonderful.
- Easy to learn and use.
What I really dislike and wish would be different:
- I know the developer is trying to be helpful here by putting all of your projects together in just one file -- but I don't want all of my projects being stored together, as if they are somehow related. I want each project to be in its own seperate file that can be opened, saved, etc. This "bundle it all together", even if its completely unrelated is is not good.
