I like a few things about this product: - The ability to separate tasks by classification or projects. - The ability to prioritize tasks within classifications/projects, and any given day - The ability to integrate with other apps (using Zapier) - The ability to quickly enter, move, and change tasks. - It's simplicity.
Not much to not like. It's simple and organized. I can't think of anything to dislike. If I had to choose something, I would say that I don't use the paid version and it limits me on some of the things I can do to customize what I see and notifications. I'm most likely going to purchase the premium level after having tested it for free (initial setup).
Staying organized with several tasks. I just started integrating my CRM with Todoist by entering the task into the CRM and migrating the task to the day's tasks on Todoist. Keeps me on track for the day. If it's not on my to do list, it doesn't get done.
Ease of use, great functionalities that integrate really well with any workflow. I personally use GTD and it works really well with the inbox and projects functionality. The reminders are really on point too, allowing for moment or location reminders.
Not many out of the box integrations from the app it self. You need to use a service like IFTT to add more integrations with other apps.
Visualizing my day and ordering tasks that need my immediate attention. I use it for stuff that needs to be done either within the next 7 days or for reminders about events/meetings and other stuff happening further down the road.
Its very easy to use, syncs across multiple devices (desktop and mobile)
Not being able to view history / closed tasks in free plan.
- We use it to manage our team tasks in shared projects. - it is very easy to organize daily task and keep a track of customer requests - We use it to keep a track of repeating tasks - like reminders of bills to be paid, monthly regulatory filings we do
i like that we are now able to watch everyone's job and how much does it have to do. I will use it now with more workers in the company, i've been reading about how can i calculate KPI with this
maybe i would change colours... maybe is already possible. Not todoist, but g2crowd should have an "spanish" version. It is a little hard to do this in a foreign language, i think maybe people from todoist won't even know what i tried to say.
different departments can now ask each other what is most important for them. We are great about the way leaders can ask an specific person to do something particularly necessary or just hard. This way you can see how much everyone is doing for the company
Todoist is one of the best productivity apps I ever used. I'm a Todoist premium user and simply I love that. It helps me to complete my personal and work tasks before the deadline.
Todoist free version doesn't let you set reminders. They should make this feature free.
As a professional Blogger, I use Todoist to create and manage my daily tasks. It helps me to complete my writings at the time.
My favorite thing about ToDoist is the design. It's lightweight and easy on the eyes so you're not bogged down by your tasks. The hardest thing about a to do list is that you easily get overwhelmed with EVERYTHING. Yes, it's a brain dump - but now that it's dumped - you see everything that you need to do. But the benefits is that you can change your views to see just today, the next 7 days or just things in a particular 'project'.
The thing I dislike is not being able to do reminders in the free version. That's probably the only feature in the premium version that I feel I could really make use of. But with the amount of software I use for project management, to do lists, design, development, etc - it's a little much.
The main business problem that we've solved is being able to add items to someone else's list. Usually something as small as 'Follow up with so-and-so' is not appropriate to put on a PM software but how do you get it onto someone else's list to remember? The collaborative project features in Todoist helps solve that.
The ability to manage all of my tasks in one app and look back at past tasks is the most useful part to me.
I do not like the app converting every hashtag into a list selection field.
I am trying to solve my scheduling problems and use it to remember what tasks i have coming up.
I love how I can add tasks from my phone, desktop, Alexa or Siri.
I tried the premium version but it took too long to load my completed tasks. I also was hoping the completed task view would differentiate between items I completed and ones I just postponed.
I have to write everything down or I forget it. Everything.
I love how easy it is to use Todoist to work with my team. The app is available on basically every platform, which makes rolling it out so easy!
Honestly can't think of anything. It works well and does everything we need.
Working with my team who is scattered around in different locations and using different platforms (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Windows, Mac, etc.)
This is my favorite multi-platform task management tool. I use it both for project management and for all personal tasks. Keeping all my tasks was such a headache, but this tool makes it so easy. Setting up a task that must be performed every Monday morning, and then it appears on all my devices, so I do not forget and do not miss anything important, it's fine.
Almost nothing. The only thing I would like to change is to improve the way of editing priorities in one task (now the user should open the task, click "change", change the priority and then save). It would be especially better to use a mobile priority editing system based on gestures, for example, the task of planning.
This is a good way to organize and track business and personal tasks. With this tool, I can better meet the timing. Notifications also serve as a reminder of the tasks that I need to perform during the day.
Consistent, excellent interface across all the devices and locations I touch throughout the day.
More of a nitpick, but wish adding files and comments to individual todos was a bit easier/seamless
Scattered todo lists and management software. Todoist is my defacto task manager that I coordinate all the rest with.
The simple format and process of adding and completing tasks are about as user friendly as you could get. It removes checked off items from the to do list so that your list grows shorter as you complete tasks, which is much more validating and comforting to a busy person during a stressful day.
I wish I could add other colors as the background, because it gives you the option of two aggressive colors (red and orange) or black or grey, which are clearer but a little more depressing. I wish there were blues, greens, purples, etc. available with a basic plan.
This brings the task list to ultimate organization. While Outlook's email tasks are helpful because of the ability to flag items for follow up, Todoist creates this effect for everything else. I love the categories available for projects, and the ability to set goals, days off, points earned for completing tasks, etc. helps keep employees motivated in a positive and growth-inducing manner.
First off, I love that the free version of this app does everything I need it to and more. The ability to sort all my tasks by project and/or client is what I was lacking in the alternative Apple notes and reminders on my phone. It syncs across all of my devices with ease and the productivity tracker is a nice little bonus to keep myself on track.
There isn't much to dislike about this app, the free features are just what I need, I do with some of the paid features were available - but, thats what paid features are for!
Organization when it comes to my clients, projects and my business in general is top priority when my memory fails me. I work with a variety of apps to keep my business afloat and this is one that I plan on keeping around for a while. The project based tasks and list creation and the overall interface of this app make tracking and organization a breeze.
Its a simple solution to capture all of your misc to dos, so that you know they are in one place, giving you peace of mind so that you can move on to get other stuff done. The key to the solution is its cross platform functionality similar to evernote so that you can sync across all of your devices and it includes an outlook integration. Similarly team members can collaborate and use it together - sharing tasks, delegating, and it creates the perfect tool for teams and managers to track progress.
Sometimes you just want a piece of paper to scratch things out...and then it feels repetitive even though you know that todoist is better... without the right discipline, it's easy to forget and end up right back where you started.
Ensuring that all of my client follow-up items, and other tasks from administrative to personal are in one place and dont fall through the cracks!
I love the ability to color code tasks based on the level of priority. My top tasks are at the beginning of the list in red, then orange, then yellow, then white. The interface is clean and so easy to use. I used to make to-do lists in my phone on my Notes app, but I will always prefer my lists out on a desktop with a keyboard. However, in a pinch, I can always open up the app on my phone and type there! It's great how you can access your account on any device, and no matter what device, it's still so easy to use. I'm also able to differentiate between work tasks, personal tasks, shopping lists, etc. Though I use Todoist mainly for work purposes, it does come in handy when I'm already at my work desk and need to make a quick grocery list for after work!
I don't have any issues with the software thus far. However, I can't figure out how to access tasks that I've already checked off. To view your activity log, you must pay for a premium subscription to the service.
Prioritization and recurring reminders are probably the best features that make me more productive at work. Having a clean, color-coded visual of my tasks in order of priority has allowed me to feel in control of my work. I no longer have a sinking feeling that something is missing from my stack of chick-scratch post-it notes. The software is also intuitive when it comes to dates, so when you start typing "next week" you have the option to put the task's on next week's to-do list. This is helpful and saves me time when I have a million things running through my brain and I'm trying to get them out before they float away!
The ease of adding new tasks on the web browser app is seamless The sync between the ios app and desktop app is really fast Ability to categorise, add notes, schedule with push alert reminders
Sometimes the app gets out of sync with the desktop app, this happens rarely
Task management and prioritisation within the team, ability to manage both personal and business taks
The ability to group and assign tasks to team members, placing priority to different responsibilities, and getting daily digests are all huge selling points.
I wish it had a cleaner integration with Microsoft Office products.
Unified project performance and responsibilities are the primary areas being addressed. It also increases accountability for users as others can see their progress.
My favorite thing about it is that I can push projects off to tomorrow or the following week if necessary.
Honestly, the only thing I would change would be more color options for the different projects. I love color-coded organization and the colors really help me to keep organized.
With my job, I juggle a lot of conflicting priorities. I love that I can manage everything I need in one place with Todoist.
Being able to create a project manger from scratch, putting together multiple tasks and splitting them into additional tasks. It makes building projects better and faster by micro-managing them.
Support is awful, ran into so many issues that were never solved. Very little customization and lack of Calendar view make it hard to use as an everyday Task Manager.
We tried to solve Website and Mobile design plus daily tasks for our company. When everything worked it created a faster workflow, however the lack of certain features slowed down that same workflow.
Very quick and easy and get going. No training required
Sometimes its a little bit too simple, and doesnt allow you to create a process/workflow around it.
