ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

To Do List holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: To Do List has 3.3K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of To Do List's written reviews are positive against 80% of Task's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

To Do List ships an update every 5 days, Task every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
