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

Great!

This is exactly what I have been looking for! I have tried many different to do list apps and this is the one!

The only to-do app in my eyes

I’ve been using Things for years and this recent update reworking repeating tasks warrants a five-star review.

Best task manager for iPhone!

After trying several other task managers/reminders, I’ve founs this one to have the features and interface I find the best to work with. I appreciate the continued support and updates!

Excellent, pay-once app

I have Things for my Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. It works great across all platforms. It’s very intuitive, has tons of useful features, and helps me organize my chaotic life. Even better, it is buy-once. I loathe the subscription trend and really appreciate that Things hadn’t jumped on that bandwagon.

The perfect productivity app

I’ve been using Things 3 for years and it’s brilliant. I love how it’s calm and free of visual clutter - other to-do apps just stress me out with all the colour choices and other unnecessary things. I also love that I can view my calendar events in Things without them becoming tasks which is the perfect way to do it. This app is brilliant and the recent updates to repeating tasks are just the icing on the cake.

The absolute best

Have used this app for over 10 years and tried all the other to-do apps. Nothing compares to the simplicity of this one. I owe a lot of my productivity and organization to this piece of software.

Now that recurring tasks can be checked off before the due date, my life is complete. I’m not a big app reviewer but when I saw that feature included in the latest release I knew I had to write one. Thank you to the team for including that feature: that little change will make a tangible impact on my life.

Absolutely perfect

I am a picky reminders app, and this one truly is made with passion and careful thought. Much better than tick tick in functionality and purpose. Everything about it is simple and intuitive, yet powerful. The only thing I wish it had is all the AI power from the new competition and also the interface is a bit slower and less snappy than the competition.

Best todos app

This app has organised all aspects of my life for almost a decade now. It’s so powerful, with great tagging abilities and shortcuts, but also so minimalist. The pinnacle of perfect design. Well done and thank you team

Never change

Don’t break this beautiful software with anything new or experimental or trendy. I’m so grateful that I’ve been able to count on it for all these years to do what I expect it to do.

I love the app... however

I really love Things 3. I've been around the block when it comes to productivity apps, and Things simply does it best. However, I'm very disappointed on the fact it's not available on the web or other platforms. As a user who integrates both Apple and Windows into my life, I find trying to stick to Things 3 a bit of a pain. I have a macbook, I have an iPhone, however at home I use my Windows PC most of the time. Anytime I have reached out to Cultured Code, I always get the same basic and unheartfelt response 'There's no plans for that at the moment, but thanks for letting us know you like it.'

Their responses almost feel very robotic. You'll notice by going through their replies on Social Media, it's almost all the same mundane responses to people asking questions. I strongly dislike that the company behind the app does not share anything that's on the roadmap for Things. I'd sooner pay a subscription model to be able to use this on other platforms.

It's not all negative though. The app itself is beautiful. I love how they don't constantly add new features, as this could have easily ruined the app. I do however feel the app is slacking in comparison with its competitors. All I ask is PLEASE be more transparent with your service users.

E2EE

Elegant, intuitive, powerful, and always reliable.

Suggestion: I hope the developer can consider offering end to end encryption.

Simple + No Subscription

At this point, I approve the a one time cost then pay for another subscription. $10 seemed a little high, but after using it for 30 minutes you’ll understand why! Things is a very intuitive and enjoyable app to use. I just wish that the one time cost extended to the desktop application, but I understand.

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.
