Todoist Reviews: 4.4/5 — Solid Choice

I like that they have "karma" points for the tasks that you list out. It ends up being really motivating. Also, it was really versatile with the dates. You could add in things that you did monthly, bi-monthly, weekly, etc.

The group collaboration didn't seem very helpful for our company. We wanted it to be, but it ended up being more of an individual thing.

It helped us keep track of tasks.

I really like that it can be used across multiple devices to keep on track and on task both at work and at home.

I think that there should be stricter ways of assigning and completing a tasks to individuals within a group. It’s easy for one person within a group to “accidentally” check off someone else’s task. That task is then marked completed.

It has helped to make sure important deadlines and tasks are getting communicated properly and effectively to the right departments.

The overall design of the app is clean and simple. It's easy to see what steps you need to take next withing the defined due dates. Using this app to fill a specific role in my workflow solely as a "Next Action" list for designated areas of completion proved quite useful.

While using Todoist I kept mostly to the free subscription level, and for the most part it meets the requirement I needed. It was a bit distracting though to be constantly urged to upgrade for use features that I'd shown no desire or need for. In an app that was supposed to keep me on task, this was somewhat of a downside.

My goal was to integrate Todoist into my "Getting Things Done" workflow as a "Next Action" list. It works ell for this purpose. I have actions seperated by the location where they are to be completed. This includes using project categories like "At Home", "At Computer", "Calls", etc. It has worked nicely for that purpose by giving me a clear next action list that I can sort by my current circumstances. This prevents unnecessary downtime simply because of where I'm currently at by using the mobile app to track possible actions I could currently check off.

Recurring reminders, being able to easily set due dates, categorizing tasks

I wish you could change the status of certain items, like "doing now" so that I know what items are in progress

Small tasks that I want to get out of my inbox, I will create as a task item. That way, I can remember it but am not cluttering up my inbox.

I love the simple structure and usability of todoist, and the seamless interface between the web and mobile versions.

todoist is limited in its task tracking capabilities, and I would like to be able to link tasks between lists. I would also like to be able to create custom time filters and timelines.

My company used todoist for task management before we switched to more robust SCRUM software.

It's connected to the world pretty well, such as having Zapier and IFTTT access, and it handles GTD very well, except for a couple of glaring omissions. It's intuitive and flexible. you can make outline-like projects/subprojects, tasks/subtasks and so on, and the security access is also great. It's one of the best out there. And that's a bit of a backhanded compliment.

The things i dislike are really more like annoyances, but some are real architectural and usability snags that stop things from flowing. For instance, discussions/comments are hard to see or follow, attachments aren't well architected. You can't create a checklist and check things off. its a small thing, but i like clicking in a box or circle and seeing the checkmark pop into the box, or see the task get scored done. I like checking things off. The task lists are crowded, and there's no way to select a "streamlined" view style. Who could guess you have to click on the "comment" icon to attach a file?! I spent an hour figuring that one out. And then i kept forgetting how to do it for a while before it finally sunk in. I still can't get Dropbox to work on my iPhone 6+ on iOS 9.0.3. It says "Please install Dropbox' which is already installed and working fine on my phone. And there's no way to back out of that screen. So, clicking 'Install Dropbox" sends me to the App Store, where the button invites me of course to Open the app. I open it, and then that's that. Going back to Todoist, it's like it never happened. Now it does work for Google Drive, but then once you've added your link (can't actually attach the contents) and you're back in Todoist, it's really hard to describe to someone how to look for the file, since it's in the task inside the comments, which are hidden unless yo edit the task, and then open the comments and THEN you'll see the link to the file. It's little things like that that make it difficult to use Todoist with a scattered group of colleagues rom different companies, and asking them to really use it. I just couldn't get traction with the teams I tried it with. i want so muh for this product to work. it has such potential, but the glitches and the little architectural and usability snags are more than i can manage.

Just basic team task management, with a little collaboration and file sharing.

The best thing about Todoist is the organization of windows and tasks and the filters.

I don't entirely like Trello because sometimes it's a very rigid tool regarding methodology, and it doesn't allow you to adapt 100% to your way of working.

It solves the problem of organizing tasks by distinguishing between what is important and what is urgent, and allows for sharing tasks with other people.

Keeping track of tasks was very straightforward.

Not being able to look at a past completed task older than a few months was a downside when researching activity on an account.

Creating a quick task keeps you from forgetting to call back a client!

Easy to keep on adding to-do's in a jiffy

Cluttered interface which can get challenging to navigate once populated with multiple deliverables

This is great tool to dump all your daily work tasks. Helps plan your day ahead

Ability to add different tasks under different categories. I have one for groceries, another for certifications I need address, another for regular shopping, holiday shopping etc. Ability to move task from one bucket to other bucket. I have an app on my personal phone and can easily move tasks form one bucket to another. Ability to create lists under one category. ex: I have different lists under groceries - costco, HEB, Walmart etc.

Not very intuitive to add tasks under sub categories. Its easy to add task in the app but it defaults to top, it doesn ask if it needs to be in subcategories or lists. This could be an enhancement to the app.

Personal organization and reminders. Manage shopping lists Be on top of things to be completed.

Todoist helps you to create an outline of your week by allowing you to add tasks for the upcoming 7 days. I like the feature where it shows you which tasks are overdue, and that you can create different labels for different projects. It helps to keep everything organized.

The downside of Todoist is that tasks can only be sorted according to date but there are no time breakdowns. Moreover, some features are exclusive to Premium users, which can be costly.

Todoist has helped ensure I don't forget any tasks and that I can record them in an organized manner, as opposed to something generic such as the Notes app.

I really liked that it automatically alphabetize my projects.

The tech support is not good. I wish they are more responsive and available for their customers.

I organize my tasks of the week with this platform.

Todoist's best feature is easily its natural language processing, which makes it incredibly easy to schedule task reminders by just writing it with natural language. Also, the amount of integrations it supports out of the box is unmatched among task management apps.

Todoist interface feels very dated, and many tasks which should be arguably simple to do, such as rescheduling tasks, or snoozing reminders can take a large amount of clicks and taps. This is one area where one of its big competitors, Any.Do has left it behind long ago.

I needed a reliable, task management tool to keep track of all my everyday tasks, both personal and work, and Todoist fit this bill perfectly.

That I can list the stuff I needed to do for each individual events.

The way the daily to do list is portrayed

I am able to deal with individual event projects separately

I like to do list because it helps me to get things done. It organized my day and tasks and is very user friendly. When you input tasks, it recognizes where to place it on the calendar without you as the user having to do it manually.

I wish the app would show sub-projects under the parent project again, like it does on the desktop version. In addition.. When you view a project, you'll no longer see all the tasks in its sub-projects? I dont understand why this would be an update.. it feels senseless to me. I also wish that this app didn't have a subscription fee. I have no problem paying a one time fee but I don't feel like a glorified To-Do app requires a monthly subscription fee. Especially when considering using something like this for larger TEAM management projects, I would likely go to an app that requires only a one time payment and can handle larger projects as well as individual to do lists, than get 2 separate ones.

Todoist helps with project and task management and provides a level of accountability when it comes to keeping up with what needs to be done and what is still outstanding.

I loved how easily it maintained all my tasks, helped with my email and reminded me of birthdays.

When the update came it eliminated the connection between other apps making it really difficult to use and not as useful.

I used to make lists, manage email to dos through this and birthdays/anniversaries for my team through this app.

I like that there are ways to categorize and organize different tasks

I wish the user interface were more customizable such that I could pick colors and themes that are pleasant and attractive to me.

I needed a way to organize tasks for different projects -- and found that the #hashtag system was easy to use.

Todoist is a handy application for tracking your to-do list across multiple platforms. With the ability to use it on my desktop, android phone and as a browser plugin (so I can use it on a chrome book or when I log in to Chrome remotely) I have my to-do list handy where ever I go.

I haven't found a way to get integration with Google Calendar in a way that works for me, It syncs tasks, but the manner in which it does so isn't fluid with the way that I work so that is probably due to user error or my personal preference and less likely a reflection of the program.

Todoist is great because you can assign tasks to projects and place them into a team inbox to assign them to your team members. We aren't implementing this feature yet, but look forward to doing so in the new year. We've noticed increased productivity from workers who have begun to use the program on an individual basis.

Easy to enter in tasks, due dates and information

Doesn't show up unless I click on my tasks

Helping to keep our tasks together and all in one place.

Keeps me organized. Easy to use. Works on browser and app.

I feel like it could be more intuitive. Maybe I am just not using it correctly...

Organizing my team. I can’t imagine not having it. It’s good for long term project but is a hassle to keep up with for short term stuff.

Todoist is a simple and basic user-friendly app that helps to organize priorities effectively.

I dislike the lack of organized to-dos in each folder

Figuring out how to organize projects and ideas

It works on multiple platforms and devices

Reminders category is only available in the premium version

It helps make delegation of tasks easier and helps keep track of various projects

The user interface is fast and is designed to be very easy to use. I like the organization of the apps contents that make it very usable even on the phone.

Many useful features need to be manually connected via IFTTT or api in order to work or else a premium subscription is required. This includes Project templates iCal synchronization Productivity tracking and charts Task comments & file uploads Location-based notifications Add tasks via email Task Labels & Reminders

I have tried many to do and project management apps and what I needed is one to fluidly sync with other apps such as google calendar, maps, email, etc.

It's easy, and there's a shortcut for quick tasks. It functions as a Google add-on and there's also an app I can keep on my phone. Satisfying to check off items, and there's also an archive of those items.

Can be sort of messy, takes too long to categorize and sort, and the Todoist emails are really overwhelming.

If my manager suddenly assigns a task to me mid-sentence, I can pull out Todoist and type it down. I also use it as a chore and laundry list for my personal errands, and I like that it is sorted by day. I can see it both on my phone and my work laptop, which is great!

Can be added as a widget near the bookmark area of the search bar

I wish that it could be more customizable and not as rigid

Keeping organized and not having to nag others of things to do

Complex task and project definition possible Gamification of goal achievement integration on MacOS as app as well as iOS app Searchable

Value / $ same problem as all task management: integration to other data sources - email, calendar(s) other project management systems) - is limited at best. not good for collaboration unless there is executive mandate for usage

Good personal task management Can balance personal and business needs / Filter based on current interest of tasks/focus

The simplicity of the app is great. I also like the collaboration of list with other app users.

The interface on mobile is a little wonky. Perhaps not as intuitive as expected.

I tried using it for work but found that other software worked better for project management that needed various items. I then moved to just using for personal use.

I like the reminders that it sends daily to let you know how 'overdue' a task is.

This program became obsolete when we began using a shared platform on Basecamp.

The program is able to remind other people of action items that I needed from them or for them to complete.

It allows me list my task for the day while browsing I used it as an extension on chrome.

It is not accessible except on chrome because I used it as an extension.

Achieve daily tasks with the software
