I'm not kidding when I say you could basically read my diary by checking my completed tasks in ToDoist... my husband and I operate off of ToDoist for everything - daily chores, monthly chores, annual chores, scheduling annual doctor appointments, reminders to purchase anniversary gifts, packing lists, ideas for long road trips, reminders to plan a date night, work projects, finances, reminders to change our address when our car lien expires, etc. There are plenty of pro-users out there that use every trick ToDoist has, but we LIVE off of the multiple projects, sharing, tasks, subtasks, priority levels and due dates. There is not a single day that goes by where we don't use ToDoist and it improves our mental health to have everything we should do written out and easisly check-off-able. We have our daily walks with our dog, exercise, a reminder to start cooking lunch & dinner, medicine reminders, etc in there too. Cannot recommend enough! Also, for work, I am consistenly recognized as the most efficient person for completing my work. I owe this all to ToDoist. Everyday, I clear out my easy stuff that takes a total of 5-10 minutes apiece for the first 1-2 hours of my day, then jump into my big projects for the day. I know exactly what to do when based on due date and importance level. Couldn't get through my workday without it!

Love this tool so much, it's easy and quick, and I'm on it all day long to organize myself. But there are areas that fall flat, including in the premium version, and they matter so much that I had to doc a star. 1) Dates - adding a date to a task is laborious - gotta click through a bunch of stuff. I bought the premium version for this feature, but it's so hard to use, that I just don't, and I use another (free!) tool intead for managing by date-based activities. 2) Deleting from recovery - if I delete a project, even by mistake, I can't just hit Undo and get it back. On the free version, you're toast and have to try to re-create it. On the paid version, it can take you back to the last back up, which only happens daily. For an active user like me, that's not much better than having to re-create it. Also, if the subproject are deleted, they are scattered through the backup (i.e. not all stored together), so it is barely useable. 3) Last, the export feature, even on the premium version, doesn't give me something usable. I want to export to put items into my project files and get them off the todo list to de-clutter it. But each list and sublist is stored in it's own little Excel file, and they're not ordered according to my order in Todoist. So again, not really useable. If you just want the free version, I highly recommend this tool. If you want something with good date functions and backup functions, I'd look elsewhere

I've used Todoist for quite some time, and gladly pay for the premium version. I appreciate the ability to define and use as many tags as you want on items, the ability to define sections within each project. I personally add sections for backlog, in progress, and paused to help keep me focused.I have few complaints: (1) on mobile, rearranging items by dragging is made difficult because tapping on an item first brings up a pretty long menu, and you have to slide your finger outside of the menu area to make the menu go away so you can drag the item to a new location. (2) While I like being able to arrange projects into a hierarchy, I would love to be able to select a parent project and see a consolidated list of all items that isn't divided up by project and section. For example, I have "work" and "personal" projects, and under each of those I have other projects like "Q3 planning", and "yardwork". and so on. If I click on the work project, I'd like to see all the items in one list, not just all the items in "work" followed by all the items in "Q3 planning" followed by sections for each other subproject.

Been a paid subscriber for awhile, Todoist has the best overall user experience in my opinion. However, I have come to find that Todoist is missing two very basic features that Microsoft Todo has. The latter's UX is not as good, but the lack of these two things prevent me from thinking Todoist is flawless.1. When I have a repeating task, say daily, and I forget to mark it as complete on the previous days, making it as complete treats it as marking the *last* occurance as completed, and the next occurance is shown. i.e. I haven't marked a daily task as complete for three days, marking it today treats todays occurance as complete and the next notification is tomorrow. Maybe a design decision from having to mark the same task as complete many times, but is annoying fo rme.2. This is the sticking point for me, and I am likely going to cancel my subscription: There is no way to notify when a task is ADDED to a shared list. Todoist only notifies on shared lists when items are assigned to you, or when items are marked as completed. This is very annoying for shared lists, because you might see an item that was just added via a notification that you can quickly address. This is a bigger issue for shopping lists. My wife adds some items to the list, I have no idea unless I open the app to see, or unless she assigns them to me (assuming I am the one going to shop).

I removed Todoist a while ago but decided to give it a go again because I wanted an easy way to maintain a living list that I can re-order as needed (as compared with pen and paper). I hit nothing but headaches right off the bat. I can only add items to the bottom of the list, not the top, unless I want to make two extra clicks for every task. Once I have all these items at the bottom of the list, there's no way to drag them all to the top at once. I have to do one at a time. If I give them a priority of 1 and group or sort by priority, there's no way to manually reorder the individual items within a priority group. I can't do anything with multiple tasks at once, including delete or move to another list. I can't click and drag to copy a portion of my list and paste it somewhere else, like in a status update. To delete a task, I click the triple dots and see that there's a keyboard shortcut, but that only works if I've selected the task. I can only seem to select the task using the arrow keys on my keyboard, but that only works from the top. To get to the bottom I have to arrow all the way down. Once I do delete a task, my selection is gone and I have to start from the top again. It really is maddening, and I don't know how the devs could actually be using this. I started out with three stars here but I've changed my mind to two.

I like Todoist as a program. It has good features and definitely works to help keep me more organized and help me track tasks and projects.The Todoist app has some glaring bugs, however. Sometimes, after it has been open for a little bit, it does this weird thing where the little blinking line goes away when you're typing. You can still type, but there is no blinking line so it's hard to track where you. When this thing with the blinking line starts, it usually also will do this thing where the feedback from the interface stops. Normally, you can hover over the dots on the side that allow you to drag a task to rearrange its position in a list but sometimes that will just stop. You can still select a task but if you are just hovering over the dots, it won't change the interface at all, which is confusing for using the program. When these things happen, I usually just quit the app and relaunch it. This sometimes works to remedy the problem but often does not. Another issue that sometimes happens but that cannot be fixed by relaunching the app is that occasionally the circle that you can click to check off a task will just disappear on certain tasks.So overall I like the features of Todoist and its layoout and all that but this particular app has some issues.

I was diagnosed with ADHD last year at age 38. Even though medication has helped things like focus and motivation, the executive dysfunction is still there. My whole life I’ve constantly forgotten important dates and deadlines and still struggle with keeping everything organized. I’ve tried all sorts of planners, Google calendar, bullet journals, productivity apps — nothing has worked until I tried Todoist. Before, I jotted down random notes in my phone, random dates in my calendar but always had a low-key undercurrent of anxiety that I was missing something. There’s something about the functionality of Todoist that hits the sweet spot of keeping me organized (I have sections for work, school, and general reminders), on top of dates, AND getting that sense of satisfaction from checking things off. If I can’t get to something that day, you can shift the date easily and completely guilt-free. It’s the only thing I use now and I feel so fortunate to finally be able to stop worrying about forgetting the things I need to do.

I'm trying Todoist after using Reminders for a long time, but a couple bugs they haven't fixed are problematic, and I used Wunderlist for years before MS bought it... I'm trying out Todoist and TickTick as my possible replacements. Ticktick has some annoying UI/UX things, but some of their feature implementations work better than in Todoist... Todoist is WAY more polished/refined from a UI perspective there there are a lot of small annoyances in TickTick that add-up; for example, creating a clickable link in Todoist is way cleaner looking than in TickTick... but while in general the UI tends to be overall better, there are some design decisions that create a lot of extra clicking around in Todoist that I don't have to do in Reminders or TickTick; e.g. the "Labels"/Tags get burried in another menu and you have to add them to a "Favorites" list to show up in the sidebar (which you can't change the order they appear). Another example is setting up Recurrence can only be done with NLP, which sometimes you just want a UI setting to go change... we're used to it from Calendar recurrences, or Reminders or Wunderlist MS Todo... Taking away the UI element for this and using only NLP feels awkward... Provide NLP, but also provide the UI settings to interact with (also TickTick has some great Recurrence options I'd like Todoist to adopt). Feature sets between TickTick and Todoist are very close, but they are both also full of annoyances and I feel like I'm making a decision based on which UI/UX design decisions annoy me less, vs making my decisions based more than which tool "Wows" me. I was expecting to be "Wowed" based on the previous reviews and accolades, and frankly, I'm just kind of "Meh, it's okay."

I switched over from Wunderlist, reluctantly, because Wunderlist is being discontinued. Todoist took me some real getting used to, because the UI is a little busier than other todo lists. However, I can safely say that after putting in this effort, I am finally arising from the mess that is my previous todo-list system into one in which I am not dropping balls and forgetting stuff. While some of that is my own personal systems, Todoists "today" and "next 7 days" windows and the natural language date and recurrence settings ('every' vs 'every!' is a great little feature) have certainly helped me to tackle the mountain of todos I previously had. It also helps with ubiquitous capture, as it's share sheet acction thing on iOS is great, so I can quickly toss something into my inbox for later processing. I just switched to pro or premium or whatever for the ability to forward emails to todoist, and now I'm consistently, daily even, reaching inbox zero. In short, it won't solve your productiproblems for you, but it definitely has all the tools to let you do so.

What won me over was the ability to add to-do’s from email straight to the ToDoist app. I’ve been using this everyday at work to remain on top of what needs to be done by order of priority and day it comes in and it has proved useful. I’ve looked at other applications similar to this, but this by far has better extensions that complement the application. I do agree with some of the other reviews how the application could streamline the UI a bit better, but I’m happy with it so far. If you are curious about getting this, take a look at the platforms and extentions that it supports. If used correctly, this application could certainly prove to be very useful, more so than the others.[edit] This app has gotten buggier over time. There are instances where certain parts of the menu won’t scroll down so I’ll have to resize my window to kick it out of it’s weird ‘stasis’ that it’s in, as well as some other instances of irritable glitches. Come on, please fix this. I’d hate to jump ship to another app.

I have been in search of a program to replace Wunderlist- This program has what I liked about Wunderlist in terms of sharing and multiple platforms. I had a great start to the program and will get to what I think the fail is in hope they will correct it quickly. They must have also gotten this complaint before because they have a useless work around they reference. When you create a project a task or however you decide to use the program, when you complete a task it disappears. You can bring it back, but it is cumbersome, Wunderlist would just collapse them, and you could see them at any time by un collapse them. It was suggested by todoist i look at an option for being able to see my tasks by placing an : in front of them but the instructions clearly say this makes them not completable. Why would you make a to do list not completable ? For those of you that do to see a problem with making completed items disappear, if you are collaborating on a project which this program has projects, people need to see what has been completed and read the notes if you have entered them.

Tried out this to do app after seeing the demo photos in the app store. The demo images are for the PAID version. The free version is very basic and no better than Wunderlist or other similar apps. With the free version I was not able to create new folders or tags. You are stuck with the most basic and generic defaults. Even something as simple as creating ‘Home’ and ‘Work’ folders could not be done. I tried to cancel my account through the app, only to be sent to an endless loop of filling out an online form, clicking submit, and then going back to square one as if nothing happened. Also note that I started the account by signing in through google/facebook option, which then requires you to change your password (not a bad idea, but why even offer those options if the password has to be changed?). After this attempt, same issue of endless loop of changing password, app not accepting change, and repeat over and over again. I finally have contacted customer support to cancel the account. Hopefully this will work.UPDATE: One day after requesting cancellation by email, my account was cancelled.
