Amazing

Would like to see time passage like Tiimo end of day feature.
Time between one event and another or until end of day from current time

Very satisfied longtime user

According to the logbook, I’ve been using Things since November 2008, and I can see no reason to stop.

I’ve tried many other todo apps over the years, including iOS’s own Reminders, but none of them offer the flexibility or the clean look of Things.

Thank you for a brilliant app.

Balance

A good balance between being simple to use while still giving you flexibility in how you want to organize your tasks

Great, but possibly overpriced

It’s a great app that does everything I want and more, though Apple Reminders has caught up to it in many ways, so I’m not sure it’s worth $10.

Beautiful. Reduce cognitive drag.

I've tried many task manager apps over the years and never found one that felt like a fit. I admire Todoist for its many powerful features and have made several runs at trying make it work. After spending over a month with Things 3, I've finally found the task manager that works. It has plenty of powerful features and wonderful flexibility and adaptability. But the winning feature is the clean, simple, fresh-looking user interface. Every app designer should take a lesson from Things 3 for how to create an app that decreases cognitive drag. I believe that a high complexity visual experience for in a task manager app (and other apps) decreases its utility - even creating a barrier to using the app. Things 3 does what a task manager is intended to do - improve my productivity and organization. Many thanks and kudos to these developers.

Perfect.

This app is literally perfect. The best task management app I’ve used by far. No subscription, no AI, no BS.

Still can’t append images?

Love things. Have used it for yearsss… and we still can’t append images guys please.

Calendar

Hello 👋🏻

Could you please tell me if tasks will be displayed in the form of a calendar, and not just as “plans”?

Review

Good

AWESOME UPDATE

FIXED REPEATING TASKS AND KEPT ITS OTHER GREAT FEATURES AND SIRI WORKS Ahhhhh 😊 THANKS!!!!!!

Gorgeous. Lacking. Just Behind.

Lifelong user since the beginning. Which is Latin for “lifelong both delighted and frustrated” by Things.

I have ported everything to Stuff and never again found a reason to come back.

It’s simple, and gorgeously.. old.

Great for goal setting

Been using it for years for goal setting having stopped using a whiteboard, I now use this and one of their widgets to see my goals on main screen. Thanks!

Links to Mapquest

I’ve been using Things for years. Unfortunately, I can’t natively change address links from Apple Maps to MapQuest.

The best workaround is to create an Apple Shortcut that converts an address into a MapQuest link and inserts it into Things. Then tapping that link opens MapQuest instead of Apple Maps

Amazing app and attentive support

I’ve had Things 3 on my phone/laptop for two years now and I absolutely love it. It’s super easy and intuitive to use, no other to do list app has worked for my ADHD like this. I can keep my consistent routines in check as well as breaking down little tasks and major detailed multi step projects in an approachable and organized way. I had some problems with the recent update and their support team was so responsive and were quick to find a solution to my problems. I’m so grateful to them and to this app for truly making my life better! Cannot recommend enough

Still the best

How doesn’t everyone own this? I have been using this app for as long as I remember and it still works seamlessly on all my devices without forcing me to pay continuous fees. Keep up the good work!

Gorgeous but widget…

I’ve known about Things for many years, and I’ve tried many different reminder and task apps. I always ended up coming back to Apple Reminders because I was missing something in the alternatives.

Some apps have too much information and too many features, while others are too simple. Things feels like the golden mean for me.

The only thing I really don’t like is the widget. It’s functional, but I think the list name could either use a slightly larger font or have some extra space below it. Right now, the spacing makes it look a bit cramped and honestly hurts my eyes. It feels a little bit like Android design.

Amazing for me!

I've hesitated on this app for years because of the price and because most todo apps just do not work at all for me with my adhd. However, this app is incredible! The user interface is so so nice, and it has the perfect balance having just enough features while still being really simple to use with no learning curve! I'm so glad I finally purchased this! However to bring in new people I'd definitely recommend letting people download and try the app for a few days before purchasing to unlock the full version. But I'm so glad I bought it, and so glad it doesn't require a subscription! The one thing which would help me so much, even more, would be if along with today and someday, if you added a "soon" or "priority" section on the main screen which indicated it needed to be done soon without adding a specific date. Thanks so much for your work on this app!!

Exactly what I needed!

Things 3 has filled a need that no other app or paper system has been able to fill. It’s as if the developers made this app to my personal specifications. And the bonus is the app is a one-time purchase; no ongoing subscription.

Old timer with some ideas

I'm a user of Things since version 1 and a product designer. I've seen how many technologies have changed over time, and what happens when industry leaders get lazy.

Things is still an amazing app for productivity — it’s position in many country’s App Stores proves this. Meanwhile, many competing apps now feature collaboration, AI-integration, and other improvements.

Things needs to integrate these features now, while they’re still in the lead; otherwise, competitors with these features will eventually take over.

As Steve Jobs said, “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.”

Actualicen

Necesito que actualicen la app, que sea mejor que la app de recordatorios de Apple, que tenga más funcionalidades e integraciones con otra apps
