A great app, once….

How are people still giving Things 4 and 5 stars? Yes, I used to LIVE by Things but it feels old now, hasn’t been updated in forever with any meaningful updates or upgrades…I used to love it but feels like they just gave up on the app….

No brainer

Downloading this app is a no-brainer if you want to get things done two steps get a methodology is step one and step two is download this app

Not amazing

There should have been a trial period to test because it’s not amazing.

Simplicity, Clarity, Efficiency

As a 70-something GTD-er I've tried many systems and I hesitated before switching to Things. So glad I made the move!
Design matters to me and Things shines. The app makes me more resilient. It helps me keep on top of commitments even in the face of inevitable setbacks or illnesses when focus slides.
Repeating tasks support a large part of my system but an important step, for me, was learning to use Templates. Keep tweaking but enjoy opening Things where your life always looks beautiful.

Average at best

The app does what it’s meant to do to, but it not great compared to the apple reminders app that is already available for IOS users.
One of the issues i have faced which makes me return to the apple reminders app is that i have set up a widget on my home screen to have a glance at my pending tasks, but it doesn’t refresh until i open the app. That completely defeats the purpose of the widget.

Outstanding

I’ve been using a long in the tooth app for a long time just because it was too much trouble to migrate. AI walked through me through the process of migration and now I can use a vastly better app. No subscription fee, reasonable price. Huge thank you to the developers.

Collaborative features

It would be a five-out-of-five-star rating if the developer added modern collaborative features. I’d even pay for a new version!!!

Things 3 for now sits more idle and lonelier than I wish it were.

La mejor app del mundo

Me encanta esta app

New icon and interface?? Where?

So update 3.22 is supposed to provide a new icon and new interface but both look exactly the same. Very odd

Reminder isn’t working

I set reminders with a specific time and they don’t hold over! Extremely disruptive!!!

The ADHD Tamer

This deceptively simple app reshaped my life; being able to break tasks down into lists and set recurring routines has been magical for me.
Being able to jot down a thought and process it later (in your inbox) is a game changer.
I’d buy the software again in a heartbeat!

Wonderful app

ADHD meets the way

Consistency

Thinks app allows me to keep detailed task notes in markdown inside the tasks which helps me find the context and key information quickly.
Things app also allows me to set tasks for work during day and also for the end of the day for my personal time, so, it allows me to not think about personal tasks during the day.

Close to perfection

As one of those people who thrives making lists, I love this app! A couple of features I need to bump this up to a 5/5 are ALPHABETIZING and NUMBERING - specifically being able to see how many ✨things🌝 are in a project/list etc. Still really enjoy the way this app looks and functions otherwise

great app, major request

have been using it for years. please please please have it so that the widget also shows upcoming calendar events when on the Today view just like in-app, so I can use one widget to see my entire day.

Ok but nothing more

I’ve had the app almost three weeks and it’s ok but I’m not impressed.

It’s not at all intuitive to use, particularly if you use repeating tasks. Getting started with the system is a frustrating experience and given the functionality or lack of it, not worth the hassle.

The different options to input repeating tasks aren’t at all clear and why you should use one or the other. It’s easy to end up with multiple entries for the same task.

If you want to get back to zero so you can try setting it up again it’s a complicated multi step process without instructions.

When you do have it set up it’s hard to understand why the app works in a particular way and going the help pages really doesn’t help a whole lot.

For me, it’s not been worth it and I’ll be going back to my old app.

Works great for me

This app has become foundational to my life. I have four rentals three children, several sources of employment and income. It allows me to keep track of all of them seamlessly- at least for the way I think

Only Review I’ve Ever Written

I truly have never considered writing a review for an app. I’m an admin professionally and have spent years testing ways to keep a todo list that didn’t feel like more work. I could never find something easy that somehow cleanly held EVERY todo I have - and here it is! Worth every penny, would buy again and again - my brain has never been happier or less full of junk.

Great

After trying multiple planners and task managers, I can confidently say that this one is the best in terms of design and functionality. Clean and not overwhelming, perfect for daily use. I use it as a grad student and it helps me track my daily goals as well as multiple projects.

This one works for me

I get things… done.
