"This product is good if you're needing a to do list that syncs with all your devices "
What do you like best about Todoist?

It's great that you're able to sync your to do lists with other devices if the app is downloaded. I love that you are able to schedule tasks that you want done and you are able to create different tasks lists

What do you dislike about Todoist?

I do not like that you have to be on wifi or the internet to sync your lists if you've added items on a different device.

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

I'm ensuring that I complete all tasks I must perform in order to be successful in school. It allows me to keep track of what I need accomplished on all of my devices

"Great for personal tasks but not for teams"
What do you like best about Todoist?

I liked how I was able to organize different tasks and color code the groups of items. I love making lists, and Todoist made it look clean and sleek. I used Todoist for both work and personal tasks.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

I dislike how Todoist does not cater to teams or features a "team view." My manager wanted me to create a holistic view of our boards, so I created different groups to help organize, but my formatting was not reflected in her account. The notifications were also a little spotty; sometimes, we weren't notified of deadlines. There's also a learning curve with Todoist; I needed to watch many YouTube videos to learn how to organize my account. It took a while to get the hang of.

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

We are solving project and task management. We were looking for software that showed the status of each task, stakeholders, and deadlines to help the team stay aligned.

"Fine reminders tool for the slack workspace"
What do you like best about Todoist?

When I used todoist a few years ago, it was very well integrated with slack. (It still is!) the online dashboard was great.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

I did not find that todoist was more convenient than slack reminders or more built out systems like trello, jira, or even Google reminders.

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

Todoist is a basic reminders app that allows tasks to be assigned to teammates. It is sort of a project management lite software.

"Todoist, leaving many spaces to fill."
What do you like best about Todoist?

I like this application because it reminds me of all the things I have pending during the day and I don't need to work hours to remember them, I really like its design and easy access ... I like too much to be a premium user for the wide variety of options it enables me.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

I don't like that the application doesn't work well for me from my mobile phone nor do I like that Premium users don't have many more tools and the costs of the rates are too high for what they offer.

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

It has helped me more on a personal level but at the same time I have improved a lot on a work level since I fulfill all my activities assigned to daily without needing to be forgotten since all my plans I put them in the application todoits and already informs me of all the things that were pending to do, thanks to it I am much more efficient at work and I have fulfilled many more activities on a personal level really that this application has fallen from the sky.

"Very simple To Do App"
What do you like best about Todoist?

It's simplicity, a very easy to use app that you can integrate with your Gmail and Gmail Calendar. Very straight forward.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

It's too basic, as a To Do list does the job but if you want something a little more focused on getting things done, this is not it. This is more of a notepad of reminders on steroids but that it's it.

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

I tend to use it less now, when I do I use it more as a notepad that will remind me everything.

"Great todo application, but the cost does deter me."
What do you like best about Todoist?

I really like Todoist because it's on my computer, my phone, online, and even my watch. It's easy to use and has bug updates almost daily. If you're looking for a todo manager, definitely try it out and see if it's for you. I preferred it to most todo list managers.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

Ultimately the price. The market is FLOODED with todo list managers and, quite frankly, there are too many free ones to pay for one. Todoist does have a free version, but I found some of the paid features were available in other free programs.

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

Todoist lets me keep all my todos in one place--and take them with me no matter what platform I'm on.

"To do is good to do"
What do you like best about Todoist?

Simplicity of use and easy learning, it is one of the most completes on its field. I like specially the possibility of opening my list in all platforms and to edit them and see the changes automatically

What do you dislike about Todoist?

I don't like the lack of client for every platform and neither the old android interface. Also I think the possibility of sketching over a list is not well implemented and could be a positive point

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

Lost information and to do list unfilled because of the bad communication between members that can be solved due to this tool.

"Love the UI, Want better features in free"
What do you like best about Todoist?

I love the UI, and usability of this simple and straight forward app / website.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

I dislike that many of the features I want to be able to use are hidden behind the pay for version. I would really like the ability to put notes on tasks in the free version.

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

I use task lists for many of my staff and this is one way for us to keep a live, running track of what needs to be accomplished in the facility in real time. I can get notifications when tasks are done, share the list with others through their apps on their phones. It save a lot of time and paper.

Might as well just use alarms on your phone.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

Unless you have the paid app, it won't remind you.

I was hoping for audible reminders, but see no benefit.

What do you like best about Todoist?

I like the ability to receive emails for due items.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

I can't get reminders on my phone the way I can with my apple Remind app and I would like a notes feature where I can make freehand lists

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

I wanted to use this to be able to write lists as well

"Todoist - great for small orgs, tough for larger ones"
What do you like best about Todoist?

It's a great to-do list, and I like it for family use or for keeping track of personal tasks at work.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

Our organization used todoist when we were smaller, but now that we are a larger team (15) and need more project-management functions, we outgrew it. It doesn't group tasks well.

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

We were trying to solve the problem of understanding tasks of an entire team. What we realized is that todoist is good for one person to track their to-dos, but doesn't work well for more complicated assignments and team structures.

"Todoist "
What do you like best about Todoist?

The best feature of Todoist is that I am able to prioritize items, categorize them by type of project (work or personal, for example) and allows me to stay organized. I love the feature of "post-poning" projects too. Often-times in my work day more pressing items tend to pop up which renders my to-do list moot. With Todoist I can push lower priority items to another day, while still keeping it on my docket to get done.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

I dislike that calendar view is a premium feature. It's a basic tool, but it would be so helpful to see my To do list in calendar format rather than a list. The fact Todoist limits what users can do in the free version at such an extreme amount, it does make me seek out other options to use that meets more of my needs. It's not worth paying for such basic features.

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

Sometimes with new priorities that pop up at work, it is very easy for me to get distracted from items I originally intended to get done. With Todoist I no longer forget about any items. I can ensure that all my projects get done.

"Beginning to sit on the shelf"
What do you like best about Todoist?

I like the idea of a ToDo list that can be used to plan your tasks and time and have used several over the years. Todoist has the features to become a good tool including a good mobile App.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

I have found that I use Todoist less and less. I put things that I need to do on it but somehow it has not earned its place in my daily workflow, probably because it is a standalone system. It does integrate with Google Calendar but I had to switch that off because it did not integrate in way that saves time.

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

Time and priority management.

"Needs more features"
What do you like best about Todoist?

Todoist was very intuitive and had a nice simplistic design.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

Todoist is missing lots of features compared to competitors like TickTick and are more expensive.

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

I used Todoist as my main to do list for some time. Todoist helped me manage my to do's but was missing features. I had to use clunky IFTTT integrations to get functionality that already exists in TickTick

"Missing Features"
What do you like best about Todoist?

I like that it is easy to collaborate and share tasks with others (on the business plan).

What do you dislike about Todoist?

I dislike the fact that you cannot export tasks and that you cannot easily see task history. I also don't like the fact that you cannot have push notifications on the desktop app.

It helps to make tasks more visible for a team that does not work in the same location

"Decent app"
What do you like best about Todoist?

It is very easy to create tasks. Prioritization is okay.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

It's too easy to ignore. I need more than one reminder, but customizing reminders for each task is time-consuming.

"Just not as useful as you would hope"
What do you like best about Todoist?

I enjoyed the idea of having a To Do list on my computer with reminders. I also like that it links with your calendar for the reminders. You can also set up projects and sub-projects.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

I just didnt find I used it. I think I prefered to have a written calendar in my hands that I can add and edit to. I found the online version less exciting to cross off things on the list and feel accomplished. This may entirely be a personal preference, but I also think others would probably agree with me once using it.

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

We were trying to solve problems of deadlines and missed tasks. It was used mostly at the beginning of 2018 and then stopped being utilized.

"Didn't work well for me"
What do you like best about Todoist?

I like that you can add tasks with deadlines and it shows overdue tasks towards the top to help with task prioritization.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

I wish the program would always be pinned to the desktop, and would start up on computer start up so my to do list would always be visible and top of mind.

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

task prioritization, increasing efficiency
