1. [R1] Todoist 2/5 · US User: I was enjoying it but with software updates it tells me to download the latest version but will not allow it (I guess the new version can’t be run on older platforms). So, it still asks me to download the new version each time I open it, and it now no longer syncs between devices. And, as far as I can tell, there is NO WAY to contact customer support or get any help with it. A useful tool wh
2. [R4] Todoist 1/5 · US No hay sincronización: Existe un falta de sincronización entre completar una tarea desde las notificaciones y creando tareas con Siri que no aparecen y no envía recordatorios a menos que necesariamente vuelva a abrir la aplicación
3. [R10] Todoist 1/5 · US Delays in updating the data and data loss: You change it on iPhone app, it can’t sync, overrides by desktop version, you lose your updated data. Ongoing problem for years.
4. [R33] Todoist 3/5 · GB Delete all records: I'm very disappointed that while I joined in February on my results before mid June been deleted or inaccessible and todoist support couldn't help.
5. [R3] Todoist 3/5 · US Calendar is the one big disappointment: I’m confused why I can’t sync my iCloud or a CalDav calendar with Todoist. I was hoping to move away from Google Calendar so it sucks that the options are so limited. I considered creating my own Todoist integration, but I don’t think the SDK allows me to sync calendar events. Looking for an app that can handle tasks and events with my family. The tasks par
6. [R9] Todoist 3/5 · US Why??: This company is too successful to not be able to have direct calendar integration! Why? Calendar and to dos are too integrated to not include in a task manger.
7. [R19] Todoist 1/5 · US Doesn’t connect to apple calender: Can’t use it for anything, doesn’t even connect to my calender? Built for iOS? Useless app.
8. [R21] Todoist 3/5 · GB RIP Google Calendar Integration: Used to love the app but since they killed off the old 2-way Google calendar integration, my use case for it has died
9. [R7] Todoist 1/5 · US Horrible Interface: This apps SUCKS. It’s impossible to add members, I literally only wanted to add one member to a project and it failed over 20 times. The interface sucks. Instead of it being easy to use and track, the setup itself was a nightmare to navigate and the page so messy with the multiple video and to do idea options
10. [R12] Todoist 3/5 · US Notes app is better: It’s like a step more advanced than the Apple Notes app in that it splits up tasks by days. But in my opinion, advanced doesn’t always mean better. Just less user-friendly in this case. Very simple app, 3 stars because it doesn’t make you pay for basic features. But I’m not a fan.
11. [R16] Todoist 2/5 · US Hmmmm: Wow, I must be a complete Moron, because I find this app to be very confusing! Deep Work? Weekly Reviews? 81 items to read in Deep Work alone! What’s up with all that? I just want a nice easy, clean “To do list” lol…..this app is WAY to complicated for imbeciles like me I guess.lol I’m sticking with Apple Notes & Reminders.
12. [R25] Todoist 2/5 · US Widgets?: I really enjoy the use of this app, and have enjoyed the prior Widgets. Unfortunately, the recent update the widget disappeared.
13. [R28] Todoist 1/5 · US Support not responding: I’ve been a paid subscriber for over 8+ years. Lost access a week ago. Restore doesn’t work. Support not responding. Already submitted two tickets 7+ days ago.
14. [R39] Todoist 3/5 · GB Account verification flaky: Signed up on a monthly basis, and entered my projects. Started getting accounts verification requests in the app. Asked for email to be sent and tried to verify but it wouldn’t accept it. Subsequently no more emails have reached me. So I asked for help which raised a ticket but no follow up help. Trying to check the ticket says access denied. Warnings received that ac
15. [R6] Todoist 3/5 · US bring back the add button: every since you guys removed the add button from the main menu i have been furious. my live is falling apart now please do add it back otherwise i will sue you.
16. [R18] Todoist 3/5 · US Bring Back Swipe Left: I used Swipe Left to select task A LOT. You got rid of it but why? And you replace select with a tedious Two-Finger drag? Why?
17. [R43] Todoist 1/5 · US Why take away the swipe to select option: Now I have to use both hands because they depreciate swipe to select. Makes working super hard on my phone now
18. [R34] Todoist 1/5 · US Missing important feature: This application does a great job with task management. But it’s missing a major feature. It must be launched and running in the background to use quick entry or to receive notifications. There should be a helper file running in the background at all times, even when the main app is not running so that no notifications are missed and quick entry is available.
19. [R24] Todoist 3/5 · GB Expect Spam: Downloaded this app, looks great and has great functionality, but I thought the in app purchases were quite expensive. The set up process includes giving your email and since deleting the app they haven’t stopped emailing me. I know businesses have to market their products but this is bordering on harassment
20. [R31] Todoist 1/5 · US Useless Trash - & Privacy Concern!: Privacy concern because they have access to your data and there’s no opt out! Every platform I’ve used has an opt out except this one. Also - the app is useless. I didn’t increase my productivity in any way using this app. They keep sending annoying emails and spam notifications daily and trying to get you to upgrade. Also the interface is horrible and totally u
21. [R36] Todoist 3/5 · GB Nice but…: I really wish completed tasks didn’t disappear, or there was an option letting you decide whether you want to see your completed tasks or not. For my productivity it’s really important to see/track what I’ve done towards a specific goal. When completed tasks disappear I get lost.
22. [R42] Todoist 3/5 · GB Basic but tidy: Tried this as a potential alternative to OmniFocus that isn’t iPhone only. It’s nice in many ways - clean and tidy. But very limited - especially for the subscription money. Limited to 300 projects, no way to group projects and no hierarchy. Doesn’t really support proper GTD methodology (haven’t found anything that really does which is strange as it’s really not that complicated).
23. [R52] Microsoft To Do 4/5 · US Love the app, but the widgets dont work with the clear or tinted themes of ios: Thats about it. Been using it for years and its really good at syncing stuff no matter which device I am on
24. [R55] Microsoft To Do 4/5 · US Won’t allow to rearrange alphabetically: This APP helps me to organize different categories. Under each category I add lists. One start out is if I want to rearrange the categories by alphabetical order, it won’t move but opens.
25. [R57] Microsoft To Do 1/5 · US Sync issues never end: Unfortunately, MS apps - primarily To Do and OneNote, have had sync issues on/off for 5+ years. They fix the issues for a while and then they come back. At work, home, and on Windows and iOS/Mac. Nice idea, just okay GUI, but horrible execution. BLUF: It’s not reliable. Time to replace.
26. [R58] Microsoft To Do 4/5 · US Almost great: I still haven’t found the perfect free (or reasonable ) GTD priorities to do list, but do enjoy this tool. Need to have more collaborations to make it optimally useful
27. [R65] Structured 1/5 · US Worthless Now: Was excited for the AI features to help me import calendar and emails to immediately add them to my planner. But the ai feels so limited, can’t even do custom colors for tasks, and missed the point of the prompts I gave it.
28. [R66] Structured 5/5 · US ADHD girlies, sign up now!: I am fortunate to be an OG lifetime membership user. I believe I got the pro plan early on for something like $20. I have since converted at least a dozen of my close friends and family. This is a perfect app that only continues to grow, improve, and impress. I could not function without it and I could not recommend it enough! The mobile version has reshaped how I can
29. [R67] Structured 3/5 · US Good but could use improvement.: I am trying this app out, but find myself severely disappointed in how app handles “overlapping” tasks. I juggle 2 jobs with variable schedules, and have ADHD which this app claims to be aimed at, so I schedule out work shifts in my calendar so I visualize my week and plan other events around them. I want to be able to nest work tasks within that scheduled time, bu
30. [R68] Structured 2/5 · US Free version too limited: Can only add 3 events per day with the free version. Want you to pay $30/year. No way to hide the AI button in the middle of the screen that you need to pay for.
31. [R79] Habit Tracker 2/5 · US Not sure: Good idea but I personally even struggle coming up with a shell of a. Daily schedule… maybe there could be suggestions based on you’re interests or hobbies etc
32. [R80] Habit Tracker 5/5 · US Glowing queen: Fab
33. [R81] Habit Tracker 3/5 · US If only: I really like this app I’m going to use it on my watch but I don’t like how you have to have a prescription and for free you only get six having good habits should be free❤️
34. [R82] Habit Tracker 1/5 · US Not syncing: I originally set all my habits on my iPad and then it synced up perfectly with my phone. I then recently got a new iPad and tried several times to sync it with my phone. I tried everything. All iCloud settings are enabled. I googled and double checked everything but it is still blank on my iPad. How do I get this to sync on my iPad???
35. [R93] Google Calendar 1/5 · US Color Update Broke Colors: The update for the desktop app broke colors. There is no consistency between the colors in the iOS app and the desktop version of calendar. Furthermore, custom colors that are available on desktop are not on the app. This update ruined the organization of my calendar.
36. [R94] Google Calendar 4/5 · US Just needs one tweak: I wish the app icon would show the date, instead of constantly saying 31.
37. [R95] Google Calendar 3/5 · US Give Me All The Colors: I love google calendar but I wish I had all the color options that are available when picking the default calendar color for when I am picking my event colors. They are so much prettier and give more variety for the various types of events with a shared calendar. Please let me do this
38. [R96] Google Calendar 2/5 · US Colors disappeared: Where did the color options for markings go? Now there's only one default color. · translated
39. [R107] Calendars 1/5 · US Could not even use because it wouldn’t load: Just like the title says.
40. [R108] Calendars 5/5 · US Excellent: So easy to use, everything color coded makes it easy to see at a glance.
41. [R109] Calendars 3/5 · US Calendars kept dissapearing because you have to have an apple or Google calender already: My whole calender disappeared and the whole reason I had it was because I had deleted the Apple calendars app but it needs it for it to work? Defeats the whole purpose of a calender app
42. [R110] Calendars 1/5 · US Not the best: I have used many calendar apps and you have to pay for repeat events like wth!! Over rated in my opinion. Use time tree!
43. [R22] Todoist 1/5 · US No Apple Calendar Integration: No Apple Calendar integration in 2026 is insane. You won’t be able to add your calendar events to Todoist unless you use Google Calendar or Outlook. There are a lot of people that don’t want Google or Microsoft to have access to their personal calendar. Unfortunately, Todoist doesn’t care about those people.
44. [R76] Structured 1/5 · US You can do better: As a Person with severe ADHD, I think this app is not giving me the opportunity to be organized. Without the Structured Pro plan, I can’t repeat some of the tasks that I need to do on a daily basis. To be honest, I do not have the money and patience for having to pay for this pro to only get 2 things unlocked. I know you guys got an Apple Award but the only award I would be givi
45. [R112] Calendars 3/5 · US Don’t bother if looking for free: Can’t even have weekly events repeat without buying Pro. Thanks but no thanks.
46. [R113] Calendars 2/5 · US Free version does not allow recurring events: Looking for free basic cal but lack of ability to make events recurring makes this an incomplete calendar. Other functions seemed great.
47. [R63] Microsoft To Do 1/5 · US Refuses to sync correctly: The iOS app refuses to sync correctly with the desktop app. Signing out and in does not fix the issue. Looks like it’s time to find a more reliable to do app. It’s sad to see just how badly Microsoft screwed up the Wunderlist purchase.
48. [R69] Structured 5/5 · US Organización de tiempo: Me a ayudado a mantener la limpieza de mi hogar y estructurar el tiempo
49. [R77] Structured 5/5 · US Love this App!: I use it DAILY. My whole life’s structure depends on this app. It’s simple, smooth, visually appealing, yet customizable with fun icons and colors. I’m able to keep up with reoccurring bills, when they are due (that I might forget about), appointments, parties, work schedule, etc. Everything!!! Highly recommend.
50. [R61] Microsoft To Do 5/5 · US Download it!!: Use it daily to stay on track this is by far my most opened productivity app!! 10/10 n I don’t write reviews EVER
51. [R71] Structured 5/5 · US Overall great: This app is like an all you can eat buffet, I don’t even have the pro version but still feels like it gives me all the luxury options. You should totally get this app if you haven’t already. it makes me feel so organized and prepared for anything.
