Use Todoist as your own personal task manager and/or with your team to collaborate on projects and execute ambitious plans.
Students, professionals, and project managers.
With the many features, beautiful UI and even productivity strategies explained and supported in the app, it's fantastic.
There is one annoying feature that is turned on by default: it reminds you of your unfinished tasks every day. I ass tasks to remind myself whenever I need to, not every day.
The Kudos feature is amazing. And the report that you get at the end of every year showing all you did during the whole year is pretty cool as well.
Initially, it can be somewhat confusing to figure out how to use. It seems quite complicated and can be difficult to use efficiently.
Todoist helps the creative person whose ideas are all over the places. It helps to put it together and create a timeline to complete / convert those new creative ideas into tasks.
The main dislike I have is the collaboration. I don't have buy in from my family to integrate the software into my group.
The design is really great at promoting a sense of accomplishment when you mark something as done and this helps you keep going.
There are some features that are lacking such as inability to add details to your tasks, limited entries and even some basic features such as reminders are not available in the free version.
I love Remember the Milk. For a long time, I used the free version but switching to the Pro (paid) version has been worth the price - the ability to sync with my android app is amazing.
The method of marking tasks as done is a bit confusing.
The interface is clean and makes it easy to quickly generate new tasks and follow their progress. I can use it from anywhere and the animations for a completed tasks are satisfactory and motivating.
It was always difficult for me to find tasks that I marked as done. Labelling is also quite problematic.
I just love using Remember The Milk for my teaching tasks, also my students love the name of this app (lol).
Not many downsides observed while using the application. Main problem is that the app is not so spread among other users.
I really like how easy it to use and get started, plus all of the free features are great. I also like how it integrates with Google so easily.
NOTE: I am a beta tester for Remember the Milk via their Pro program. That means I pay for their service and in return I get to opt-in to the beta version.
Jonathan T.: Hi, I'm Jonathan. I'm the founder and owner of WalletWin, an e-learning company, and I give Todoist 5 stars out of 5. Before I started using Todoist, I was all over the place with my to-do lists. I was using paper and pen and losing them. I was using Evernote and then forgetting to check it. I was all over the place. And finally I found Todoist. I chose Todoist and have stuck with it because it's all over the place. I've got the app on my computer, on my phone, on my watch, so I always have my to-do list available. It's easy to use, easy to check things off, especially when I'm out and about and I can just call it up on the watch and check off my item. It was incredibly easy to get started with Todoist, downloaded the app, I think created my account, and then just got started creating my lists and my items. It was very easy to figure out. I think it's a pretty intuitive interface that makes organizing my tasks nice and easy. If you're checking out Todoist, I'd say just go for it, download it. They've got a very nice, generous, free tier, so give it a shot maybe for a week or two. See how you like it, how it fits into your workflow, and it might just be a winner.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
