### 2/5 — Mostly great but notifications suck

*2026-08-26, version 26.8.18*

It’s extremely difficult to find comments made on tasks. I get a notification, but what task does it belong to???

### 4/5 — Rating

*2026-08-22, version 26.8.11*

Very nice and good features, really helps with organizing your to-dos. The problem is that unless you pay 5 dollars a month for pro, it is a little tricky to navigate the app, but I totally recommend trying the app.

### 4/5 — Missing feature even in paid version

*2026-08-20, version 26.8.11*

I love this app but there is a particular weakness that is frustrating. If I make a list of things to do that have associated deadlines, it kind of disappears until it’s due. I want it to stay in my todo list and be a reminder that it’s coming up. They could have a feature that says when it appears on the calendar (as distinct from a due date). I also wish the widget would have the option to display the inbox rather than whatever is due today.

### 3/5 — Sometimes Frustrating

*2026-08-17, version 26.8.11*

I this app because it was suggested to me on an ADHD Facebook group. I have the pro version and use the Urgent alerts on everything. 

Todoist misses alerting me about my tasks, often or it sometimes alerts me several hours after the task is scheduled and I’ve already marked it as completed.

### 5/5 — Love this app.

*2026-08-16, version 26.8.5*

Simple but does everything I need it to do.

### 5/5 — Almost perfect

*2026-08-16, version 26.8.5*

I use this everyday for both personal and business. I’ve only found one thing annoying. Example: if I write that I want to prepare for my  Thursday meeting or for something on a specific date it will put it on the calendar for that Thursday or the date mentioned.

### 5/5 — Powerful Task Tool

*2026-08-16, version 26.8.5*

I cannot do life without this tool. It takes a bit to get used to all the options and how to set it up best, but once it’s set up to fit your life, this powerful tool is a game changer to keeping me on task and allows me the head space to be fully focused with others when I’m not completing tasks. The daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly reminders are perfect for things I do regularly and don’t want to try to remember when I did it last. The import from a spreadsheet is perfect for my grad classes to easily copy and paste from the syllabus and import the tasks into Todoist. The different ways to view the task lists are flexible depending on my needs for that list. I love that I can set something to remind me every few days to do something and with the additional paid for features, I can keep on top of everything even more granularly. It is the perfect tool and I have not come across anything I’ve wanted to do that it cannot do. Their help section on their website is fantastic for figuring out how to do various things, no matter what I dream up. I used the free version for a while, which worked great, but about 6 months in, I realized the paid for version was worth it for the additional projects and for the deadline so I could have various school projects show up daily before the deadline and I could still remember when it HAD to be turned in. Get it - you won’t regret it. The best task tool I have ever found and it keeps me sane.

### 5/5 — Redo Banner & 300 Task limit

*2026-08-15, version 26.8.5*

Redo banner comes on the inbox and other tabs when a task is ticked which is annoying and reduce the speed of completing tasks. I’d like iit to have it a little more north. Also I would like to have more than 300 tasks per project. The desktop app also glitches and it’s not that fast and efficient which is expected from Todoist. Overall it’s one the best todo apps.

### 5/5 — Great product

*2026-08-13, version 26.8.5*

Great for productivity and not letting commitments slip through the cracks.

### 5/5 — Super helpful!

*2026-08-13, version 26.8.5*

I have found Todoist to be super helpful in getting my thoughts organized.

### 5/5 — Best app for organizing your life and business!

*2026-08-12, version 26.8.5*

I use this for my small business and in my personal life and it’s such a great tool for doing asynchronous work across teams as well as assigning tasks to your hubby without having to have a big convo about it! 😂

### 2/5 — Was great until it wasnt

*2026-08-12, version 26.8.5*

This app was very useful and simple, all of the sudden it just stopped working. I cannot reorganize the tasks at all which sucks greatly.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2026-08-09, version 26.7.17*

Truly aids every day life. Stress free productivity starts with an app just like this one.

### 3/5 — BUG！！！！！！！

*2026-08-06, version 26.7.17*

I have been using Todoist and really like the product, but I ran into a critical bug that locked me out of my account.

My original account was created via Sign in with Apple. When I tried to update my account email address, I accidentally typed in an incorrect email address that belongs to someone else. Todoist sent the verification email to that wrong third‑party address.

Now I cannot log in with my original Apple account anymore. I also cannot log in using that wrong email since it is not mine. I have no way to complete the verification step and regain access to my Todoist data.

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2026-08-05, version 26.7.17*

Great!

### 5/5 — Keeps my life intact

*2026-08-05, version 26.7.17*

Without Todoist, my life would be in shambles. 

I am entering my #1 choice medical school program in a week and I can confidently say that I wouldn’t have done it without Todoist. 

Forget Monday.com and Asana, and pay for the Pro. The money you will earn and the skills you will acquire far surpass the cost of the yearly membership.

Best task management software ever.

Oh, and start doing weekly reviews. Thank me later.

### 2/5 — Link with Windows Computer

*2026-08-04, version 26.7.17*

Very difficult to sync Apple account with windows computer. Not convenient and efficient to user

### 1/5 — Completely loses items

*2026-08-21, version 26.8.11*

I had a long list of items in a ‘project’ I had laboriously copied ovet from Apple Reminders app.  Today opened Todoist and 90% of them were gone without a trace.  Not marked completed, not marked deleted, not even appearing at all in the ‘activity’ section as having been entered.  I can only guess required syncing to Todoist servers rather than much superior local storage is completely broken and a SEVERE risk for anyone using this app.  Avoid at all costs.

### 1/5 — PAGO

*2026-08-20*

Não dá pra fazer nada se não pagar

**Developer response:** Sentimos muito por essa experiência! 😔 A versão gratuita do Todoist tem bastante funcionalidade. Se precisar de ajuda, entre em contato conosco: https://todoist.com/contact 🙏

### 1/5 — App is trash

*2026-08-14, version 26.8.5*

No reason to download this app is because it’s supposed to integrate with ChatGPT. Unfortunately, every time you tell ChatGPT to put this as a reminder or put this on my calendar, it comes back and says sorry. There’s a hiccup on our end. I can’t integrate that really is happening every single time both apps are up-to-date. It just doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Freezes constantly

*2026-07-30, version 26.7.14*

Always freezes and no in-app support

### 1/5 — Partnered with ChatGPT

*2026-07-21, version 26.7.9*

I think Sam Altman is evil, so you get 1 star. I’ll use another to do list app

### 1/5 — Nice app with extortion pricing

*2026-07-17, version 26.7.9*

$60/year for a todo list? Are you guys out of your minds? 

This app should be $5-$10 one time. A subscription at all is insane. 

Greed at its finest.

### 1/5 — Great until you lose everything

*2026-06-21, version 26.6.11*

App is great to use and have been using for several months…..until all my tasks disappeared. There is no way of getting them back so cannot rely on app going future. A huge inconvenience tbh. Would not recommend.

### 1/5 — No hay sincronización

*2026-06-17, version 26.6.11*

Existe un falta de sincronización entre completar una tarea desde las notificaciones y creando tareas con Siri que no aparecen y no envía recordatorios a menos que necesariamente vuelva a abrir la aplicación

### 1/5 — Перемудрили

*2026-06-17*

Новые обновления добавили возможности планирования в разных категориях, командах, разные отображения. А толку в них, если нет кнопки самого таймера? Список дел я и в заметках написать могу((

**Developer response:** Спасибо за отзыв! 😔 Понимаем ваше разочарование. Пожалуйста, поделитесь своими пожеланиями здесь: https://doist.typeform.com/to/r6wTYRZ7. Ваше мнение помогает нам улучшать приложение! 🙏

### 1/5 — My favorite feature isn’t currently working

*2026-06-09, version 26.6.4*

I can no longer drag tasks to reorder them in the Today view. That was a feature I heavily used. 

I’m using Todoist 26.6.4 on iOS 26.5. I’m in List layout, Grouping is off, Sorting is set to Manual, and I’ve also tried Reset All in the view options. This used to work, but now tasks in the Today section can’t be moved into a different order.

I’m also no longer able to drag overdue tasks from the Overdue section into the Today section to reschedule them. That used to work as well, but now I’m no longer able to move/drop overdue tasks into Today.

### 5/5 — Game changer

*2026-08-30, version 26.8.18*

This has been a game changer for my life and business. If I could only have one business app on my phone it would be Todoist

### 5/5 — Went from $23 to $60 /year. Can't select no access to photos. After 6 yrs i should be grandf'thed in

*2026-08-30, version 26.8.18*

How rude are they. Their support sucks, i asked them to give my photos "no access" months ago. I started with them at $23/ yr. They added a lot of featured i don't need and raised their pro plan to $60/yr.  After 6 years i should be grandfathered in by now.  Sucky little app.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-08-29, version 26.8.18*

Very happy with ToDoist, easy, clean - works really well when connected to ChatGPT.  One added feature I’d love to see is having a swipe option to set or change projects/labels

### 5/5 — Works

*2026-08-27, version 26.8.18*

The app works. Not super usable, but gets the job done.

### 5/5 — Best todo app

*2026-08-23, version 26.8.11*

Best todo app so far. Love the integration with Claude. 2 minor annoyances, the speech to text on mobile isn’t the best and the constant attempt at dating numbers is annoying.

### 5/5 — The app that got me through a BA, MS, and now PhD

*2026-08-20, version 26.8.11*

I downloaded this app my freshman year of undergrad, shortly after finding out I had ADHD. Keeping track of all the things I have to do and assignments I need to remember has always been a huge struggle, and this app has been a LIFESAVER. It clears up so much mental clutter to just immediately put tasks and reminders into my inbox, and then be able to prioritize and reschedule them. I used this all through my bachelors and masters degrees, and am now using it during my PhD program! I also love being able to set recurring reminders and organizing them by project. The free tier has worked well for me, and I really appreciate not having necessary features behind a paywall. Please never change this app!!

### 5/5 — A calm single dad with 2 jobs and 10 kids

*2026-08-20, version 26.8.11*

All I can say is that with my ADHD focus was the biggest issue in my life. Staying up all night from worry My brain never turning off. 
Todoist had me going in a couple of minutes. It been such a success organizing my life that I upgraded my “set up “ to add a 3rd screen where I can refer to it all day.  
Don’t let the simple interface fool you. There some powerful organizing tools inside. It’s been 3 months and the only reason I am writing this review is because I scheduled it on Todoist.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-08-19*

I am using the free version an it is quite easy to use and learn. Very useful tool. Considering to used the paid pro version now

**Developer response:** Thank you so much, Mark! We’re really happy to hear Todoist has been easy to learn and useful for you ❤️ And if you decide to give Pro a try, we hope you enjoy the extra features just as much 🌟️

### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2026-08-19, version 26.8.11*

Having tried many others I have found just what needed from a to do list and planner.

### 5/5 — Organization

*2026-08-19, version 26.8.11*

It sure is an easy way to stay organized
