Danny D.: Hi, my name is Danny, director of Website Development. I would rate Things a 4 out of 5 stars, and if you want more reviews like this, click the link below. Before Things, I was using, gosh, probably every task manager you can imagine. The most recent one was Todoist that I tried before Things and I just felt it somewhat more restrictive compared to Things. The tagging system and all the categorization felt very hierarchical and very linear, whereas Things tends to be a little bit more flexible. We also chose Things for the organization because of the pricing structure. There's just a one-time fee per device as opposed to a monthly payment structure with Todoist. So that was something that drew our organization to Things. Getting started with Things was very simple once it was purchased. When you open it up, there's this nice onboarding that they give you to teach you. It's slightly different from some of the other task management programs, but that's what drew us to it, was the flexibility. So they had a good onboarding that popped up on the screen and walked you through it, and that was super helpful for the initial setup and trying to get to use a task manager that was slightly different from others that we had used in the past. For anyone thinking about switching to Things, I would say just do it. The pricing structure, the onboarding, just the flexibility. It also integrates with calendars so you can link your calendars into your to-do list, which is almost magical to have that integration. I feel like having them separate was a challenge for us in the past and Things helped us to give this bigger picture look into the to-do list, as opposed to having it separate from the calendar. So that was something that drew us to it.
