"simple and intuitive while having a rich feature set"
What do you like best about Todoist?

Todoist is very easy to use from the first day, there is really no learning curve, which helped me get into the habit much quicker than it typically takes me with a new tool. However, don't let the simplicity fool you - all (most?) of the features you seek from a To Do tracker are there. I especially like the shortcuts when creating a new task. For example, you can type in "tomorrow follow up with Peter #zebra @jason" and that will create a task due tomorrow, in the project "Zebra", and assign it to the user Jason.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

In terms of functionality, I don't have any great complaint at the moment, though I'm sure I'll find some things as I graduate from being an intermediate user to an advanced poweruser. One thing that annoys me a bit is that some very simple features are hidden behind a paywall, such as labels and reminders. I don't mind paying for a product I like, I would just have liked to test all the features first.

What problems is Todoist solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have started using it on my Product Management team to add and prioritize tasks directly related to our department, so we can assign tasks to each other and track progress. So far, collaborative features work well for us and much easier to use than our main project management tool.

"The first list that has it all"
What do you like best about Todoist?

The non-pro version is perfect for me. The combination of phone and desktop apps allows for use anywhere. It combines the simplicity of making a list of things to do with more sophisticated date assignments and grouping using hashtags.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

Nothing really! Still getting into the habit of using it. I would like to see more integration with Office.

What problems is Todoist solving and how is that benefiting you?

This is the first to do list that keeps up with my work pace and I've stuck to using.

"I love how simple they make a to do list function."
What do you like best about Todoist?

The ability to reschedule extremely quickly and keep tasks organized. The interface is very easy to use and allows me to navigate between multiple tasks very quickly.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

The only thing that I really do not like it that the premium requires an annual fee. I understand why they do it but it seems like it could be significantly less.

What problems is Todoist solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps me keep my daily agenda organized where I can see everything in one place and keep my day organized time-wise. So I would say increases my productivity and the ability to see what I have actually accomplished.

"Straightforward and easy to use"
What do you like best about Todoist?

Todoist is a great tool that I can take with me, share with my clients and see at a glance exactly what I need to be working on. I like the "today" and "next 7 days" views. I also really like the ability to nest tasks.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

The commenting is a bit clunky and the tasks must remain simple. And you can't @ tag people!

What problems is Todoist solving and how is that benefiting you?

Task management. It's a great snapshot of the day.

No Apple calendar integration or reminders through iPhone

"Good Simple Checklist App"
What do you like best about Todoist?

I like how it integrates with Google, so it makes it easy to share with Google users! It's also easy to organize.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

It doesn't seem to have quite as many features as some other task tracking apps I've used, but it's extremely useful to have for other Google users who use it.

"A Very Well Designed Task Manager"
What do you like best about Todoist?

I like how Todoist is a well designed and minimalistic task manager that synchronizes tasks between all my devices.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

I don't like that there is no direct calendar integration in Todoist, and it would be useful if a week view of task could be presented in a spatial rather than just a linear view. It's difficult to organize tasks when they are in lists rather than say calendar like boxes.

What problems is Todoist solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Todoist to complete daily tasks and projects. Todoist helps me keep up with client deadlines as well as my own business requirements. Once I put tasks in Todoist I don't have to worry about missing due dates. And I use the manager to organize and complete projects.

"One of the best to-do apps you could find anywhere"
What do you like best about Todoist?

Very nice UX/UI. Great design, highly functional. Easy to use. It's a great app all around.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

Nothing really. No cons here. Just a matter of being consistent with the product.

What problems is Todoist solving and how is that benefiting you?

Great way to group to-do's into specific short term and long-term projects. Makes project management a breeze, so long as we heed the reminders and notifications.

"Todoist keeps me on track "
What do you like best about Todoist?

I like that the app is user friendly and not overwhelming. Reminders are simple and not annoying. I also like that it syncs with my Gmail and can be used on web or mobile. Subscription costs are reasonable as well.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

Not a big fan of the limits to active projects, which I would imagine I am a rare case.

What problems is Todoist solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is keeping me on track with deliverables for my clients. It also helps me realize my workload and when I should cut back on accepting new clients.

"Great timeline tracking software."
What do you like best about Todoist?

The software does a good job at laying out tasks and due dates with the ability to lump subtasks into projects and assign a time and due date to make sure you are on track. You start by entering what needs to be done and by which day, and then you get daily reminders (by push notification, emails, and through the app) that must be completed today, the next 7 days, and in the future. The software is like an email inbox and it prioritises things by due dates. I can see all of the tasks due today, and if I keep a running log of what needs to be done and assign it into due dates, I will complete all of my things on time. I can also drill into a particular project by making subfolders and assign subtasks to that folder in the event I need to inspect a project.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

I dislike that you can not make reoccuring tasks at odd intervals, and there isn't a calender/overview mode that allows me to see my tasks in any specified interval I would like: such as the next 14 days, next 21 days. I would also like text/email reminders/notifications of only specific tasks that I flag, which isn't currently offered now. I also dislike that I can not assign collaborators, and a way to tie other products into it such as email follow-ups/tracking packages, etc.

What problems is Todoist solving and how is that benefiting you?

ToDoist allows me to manage my tasks, see what is overdue, and when I open it, I immediately can see what needs attention, and see what all of my known tasks for a particular project is. It has made my personal life as well as business life more organised. I have a way to track tasks now and in the future, without a paper planner.

What do you like best about Todoist?

I like how easy it is to use. I love the tags and shortcuts it provides. Mobile and desktop version both integrate and sync flawlessly.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

I really wish there was a way where you can see your past completed tasks. An activity timeline would help out tremendously so you can see all the comments and tasks and any other changes that have been made throughout time.

"Todoist review"
What do you like best about Todoist?

With Todoist, it's easy to see all my tasks and organize them by project. I can also delegate tasks to other team members, including my boss. It's easy to reschedule tasks for another day. The interface is also very modern and streamlined- I like the design and layout of the product.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

There is no integration with calendars on Macs. Its also hard to see any kind of summary of productivity or where I'm at with my projects overall. I wish that I could see everything in one place in addition to having different sections for each project.

What problems is Todoist solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can track my tasks and assign tasks to others. I'm an Executive Assistant and Todoist has really enabled me to track not only my projects and tasks, but also that of my boss who I assist. For example, if I need to follow up on a tiny detail about something, I just add it as a task in Todoist and the program pings me to complete it.

"Great way to internally track the flow of document review"
What do you like best about Todoist?

It is easy to categorize and assign documents such as reseller agreements and non-disclosure agreements. We have significantly cut back on the amount of emails we have to send around when passing agreements between departments.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

Occasionally sub-tasks will fall out of the master task making it hard to know what stage the review is in. It would be beneficial to allow individuals not using Todoist to have a view that lets them check on status without having upload/modify rights.

What problems is Todoist solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have 2 people perform a business review and 2 people perform a legal review on all agreements. This allows us to cut back on emails and use a single source to readily know where the agreements are in the review stage.

User experience is really great. A lot of shortcuts are available, making the process of writing a task easy. Projects and filters are fully customizable. The due date system is very impressive (you can write due date in plain text like "until monday; every 2 days and so on".

"Good tool but not for all, I guess"
What do you like best about Todoist?

It's gonna list down your tasks and can be arranged according to your own categories. Either you want to read it for later, or it's a task that you need to finish step by step.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

Maybe not everyone would want to use it, especially if you're more of into calendars, i guess. It's just a simple list and the chrome extension doesn't notify on your email for that additional ping.

What problems is Todoist solving and how is that benefiting you?

Since I always work with multiple tasks on ActiveCollab, most of the time, I list down the tasks that needs to be done via Todoist. I can see the task in an easy list view with just a single click. And if I'm done, i just simply tick that so it'll be crossed out.

"probably the best to-do list manager, but you have to do things "the Todoist way"
What do you like best about Todoist?

Works well on Android and web. Have never seen any sync issues. Very quick to add tasks with basic information.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

The company adds, removes, and changes features as it sees fit, with no warning to users. They recently implemented a change that broke a common workflow of mine (and many other people) but they insist it's because we aren't working the right way, and that their way is better. This arrogance is very frustrating.

What problems is Todoist solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is so easy to add tasks on mobile and to "share" items to new to-do items that I no longer and emailing myself reminders, links, etc.

"TO DO or NOT TO DO - be the structure, your users missing"
What do you like best about Todoist?

IT comes in a day by day manner to you... not big or heavy - you have a task. fine - you will find it there. the reason for me to stop using it, was probably the-adoption by some counterparts. if someone is not able to understand the purpose, we dont laugh or pointing finger on him or her. in a first try we say the app itself is not logic. and we mean the road to customer success is nit given based on the missing adoption performance delivered by the app-team. the task-lists could become in a very short time, quite heavy, polluted. I could change deadlines, set by another layer - and with this it became obsolete for me. i cant stress it tooo often. apps need personality and a personas to be identified with ... make the onboarding or trial a great user experience to even win a gratis month by checking all needed core features.. one simple idea... FAZIT: be lucky todoit - you have your clientele safe and committed. not everything in the business day needs to mirror silicon valley or media agency soap opera lightness - tasks are there for structure the business. people use it, because they cant develop structure by them-self. be the structure, have red lines for the a-signed people. help to form the right post culture. remember they all come back from working home..

"Great tool for simple quick organization, but not very robust for more complex circumstances"
What do you like best about Todoist?

It is a great tool to have quick lists of things to do through the day/month/year. You can divide lists in different projects and in subsections inside those projects. There is also time tools to organize things in dates and there is option to see what is due today, or upcoming amongst others. It also allows you to customize a little, with themes and settings for example. There is a free version that allows you to do enough for individual organization, but there is also a premium version where you get more functionality such as labels and archived projects.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

It is a wonderful tool for personal use, however it is quite limited when it comes to robust enterprise organization tools amongst multi-project teams. I can see it more as a way to create quick to do lists for different projects, but when it comes to assigning sub tasks to different teams members and managing deadlines, steps inside those tasks, collaborations etc.. it is just too simple of a tool. However that is what makes it great for other purposes like self organization.

What problems is Todoist solving and how is that benefiting you?

Allows to keep track of personal organization for different project/areas, and have to do lists for all of them, with sub sections for each and deadlines if necessary.
