This is the original To-Do and Task Management List and one of the most popular, powerful, and award-winning to-do list and task manager iOS and iPad apps ever! Todo has been used by millions of individuals, families and teams for GETTING THINGS DONE. "Todo has stood the test of time" -Silicon Slopes. Winner of the “Best Productivity App for iPad” (Best Apps Ever, To-Do Apps) and listed among the “Top Ten Paid Productivity Apps..." "Appigo Todo oozes with awesomeness. I’ve tried numerous iOS task-management apps, and none to date have satisfied me as much as Todo.” –Macworld, 4.5 stars. Four main reasons to consider Todo: 1. REAL PRODUCTIVITY. Unlike lightweight, freebie or cutesy list tools, Todo 10 is useful when you have a deadline, NEED to focus, prioritize and get things done quickly--from home or school projects to dozens of detailed work tasks. Includes: Projects, Sub-tasks, Start Dates, Due Dates, Recurring Tasks (with detailed recurring options), Multiple Task Alerts, Overdue Tasks, Drag and Drop, Search, Print Lists, Folders, and much more. 2. PROVEN GTD METHODOLOGY. Todo uses the popular Getting Things Done approach with Focus To-do Lists, Starred Tasks, Multi-level Priorities, Quick Entry, Context, and Projects with Layered and Prioritized Sub-Tasks—all recommended GTD approaches. 3. BUILT-IN SYNCING. Sync automatically in the background with Todo Cloud Sync. Keep everything in sync, access your data from any device and never be locked into a specific service—your data remains yours. 4. COOLNESS • Add, schedule, and organize your to-dos • Set due dates and reminders to never miss an important date or deadline • Quickly add tasks using Siri, Email or Todo Cloud’s Quick Add buttons • Streamline projects, checklists and tasks using customized Siri commands. • Customize task reminders based on day (January 1), time (2:00pm) and place (when you are near the grocery store) • Create themed lists to organize your to-dos: home, work, friends, etc. • Take control of how you view and execute your to-dos with Todo Smart Lists • Collaborate with friends, family and/or team members using Shared Lists • Leave yourself (or others) updates through in-task notes and comments • Create recurring tasks for those to-dos that come over and over again • Sync your to-dos across all your devices 14 day FREE trial!

Todo's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (397 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
