1. [R4] 1/5 · US Tried both laptop and iphone: All i wanted was a calendar that offers check marks . Unfortunately upon downloading there are still no check marks , i guess until you pay yearly ? I downloaded on my laptop it wouldn't even display my calendar at all. Someone else's calendar and all grayed out. I'm not a freebie seeker but you don't show to me that your app works . Like if you would show me for 1 ho
2. [R170] 3/5 · US Paywall is annoying: I think the app works fine enough, but it can be really frustrating to have so many basic features be locked behind a paywall. If the free version purely limited max lists and attachments, it’d be fine, but the fact that it limits the duration of events is kind of absurd. I’m sure you can find apps that offer the same features with no paywall required.
3. [R273] 1/5 · GB Removes basic functions: Makes you pay to view the calendar in a monthly, weekly or yearly way, like most calendars do for free…. The payment isn’t even one time but monthly. Love me greedy apps
4. [R363] 1/5 · GB Paywalling Duration: I can’t fathom putting task duration behind a paywall. Why else would I want to download a planner, if not to organise tasks? And I can’t schedule things unless I pay? Woeful, unfortunately.
5. [R109] 1/5 · US Every useful feature behind a paywall: Just when I thought I found the perfect app for social media planning….literally every useful feature is behind a paywall. Without the annual subscription you’re better off just using your notes app
6. [R212] 1/5 · US So stupid: App is free but we HAVE to pay to actually use it. 🤦🏻‍♀️ false advertising
7. [R238] 2/5 · US IDK: Honestly looks like it would be a great app, but they give you the most basic format of the app. If you want to use what they’re advertising you have to pay 35.99/year up front. For a scheduling app it seems NUTS !!
8. [R284] 2/5 · GB Okay app but calendar is subscribe based?: A pretty good app but it feels like it’s gamifying my todos. Also the subscription prompts are extremely annoying and behind some very basic functions.
9. [R34] 1/5 · US bad: i love the app and its features but when i had gotten a free prescription it canceled a week later as planned. I haven’t been getting notifications from the app and I haven’t really been minding because I didn’t really think the app suits Me, but it’s been a few weeks since I had gotten my free subscription and two days ago I had barely noticed that they charged me for the yearly plan, which
10. [R315] 1/5 · GB Scam: Starts a premium subscription without your permission, took me a few months to clock it.
11. [R353] 1/5 · GB Subscription renewal cheats: Subscription does not appear in Apple list of subscribed apps but it renews without warning. Very dirty tactics.
12. [R475] 1/5 · GB Getting Charged after cancelling subscription: Very unhappy, have been charged when cancelled within the trial period as I wanted to see how the app measured up against Todoist. Watch out for charging during the trial period they have two apps, by mistake I down loaded a different named Tick Tick App onto my I Pad and got charged 12 months as had already downloaded the App onto my IPhone ….. try
13. [R344] 1/5 · GB Pay to breath: There’s a subscription for everything it’s not even worth it. I don’t mind paying for the app but they want a sub charge every month/year and then put the price up once you have become reliant it. Sick and tired of this
14. [R362] 1/5 · GB too expensive: would be nice if the price was affordable
15. [R752] 3/5 · AU Loved it but not the $$: Fantastic app. Did the 7 day premium trial. But cannot afford or justify the AUD$5.99/mth or even AUD$59.00/yr price tag. Not when there are comparable products for a onetime price of under AUD$20.
16. [R815] 3/5 · AU Constant advertising: Works fine as a cross platform todo list, but on mobile I’m harassed by full screen “SUBSCRIBE TO PREMIUM” ads every time I open it. Newsflash folks; that doesn’t make me want to give you any money.
17. [R7] 5/5 · US Love this app: Fabulous task manager. Allows for categories and subcategories, repeating, custom due dates, detailed notes. Priority and timing alerts. Sorts logically. Allows manual sort. Lots of shortcuts if that’s your thing. I use it to manage work tasks (over 1000 repeating annually) and it keeps me on track, sorted and focused on the priorities. I tried To Do once my org moved to that. Not
18. [R8] 5/5 · US Helps organize every aspect of my life: I use this app for personal, work, and school. I love the ability to rank importance and schedule a time for tasks.
19. [R12] 5/5 · US So so good: Does everything. Took me a long time to find this. Spend time learning it. The ways to use it are endless.
20. [R15] 5/5 · US So feature rich: And easy to nav. I’m still getting used to it but I plan to keep my subscription after the trial. I guess that’s the ultimate test of an app, right?
21. [R29] 5/5 · US An amazing app for someone with ADHD!: Helps keep my to-do list, task, and ALL of my calendars in one place so I can effectively manage my time! With this app I can see everything at once as well as its importance! The notifications and reminders keep me on track! So happy I found this app! ❤️
22. [R31] 4/5 · US Great app, a few features could be added: This app is incredible for ADHDers who need to switch up their task view and break tasks down. You can even choose a sound for when you complete a task, and there’s a GREAT stats section that’s not just based on how many things you’ve done, but how efficiently you’ve done them, which makes it waaaay more rewarding to level up. Quite a few features I’d li
23. [R54] 5/5 · US If you have adhd, you need this app!: I would forget EVERYTHING if it weren’t for this app! I have the widget on my home screen and it keeps me so organized. If you’re in school, you can create different folders for your assignments, and the satisfaction of checking something off the list is everything!
24. [R11] 5/5 · US 10/10!: I have been looking for a planning app for what feels like ages. None of them had everything I needed until now. I’ve been using this app for about a month and it’s been game changing. It’s customizable, but not overwhelming. I am a full time student and full time office manager. This app has helped me organize school work, plan todos, track habits, set timers for studying, plan for my hob
25. [R20] 5/5 · US Great App: I literally use TickTick for everything, highly recommend. Very customizable.
26. [R37] 5/5 · US Suggested Features: Love this app! I’ve tried everything from physical to-do lists, Google calendar, Notion, other to-do list apps; but nothing has offered features that are as comprehensive, easy-to-use, and customizable. Just some small suggested features: - Classify Calendar events into the matrix. Changes the color of the event in the list and appears in the matrix tab. - Colors should apply
27. [R39] 5/5 · US I like it: It’s a little bit better than the iOS reminders app even without the premium because you have more options to use like habits and Eisenhower matrix
28. [R6] 5/5 · US Great time management tool: Great product to keep you on track and focused on the task at hand, and to monitor non-priority tasks. That function alone is worth it. The bonus is the focus and built-in timer to track your focus time on a task. I would highly recommend this app to anyone looking for time-management tools.
29. [R41] 5/5 · US Best productivity app I’ve used: I’ve been using TickTick every day for probably seven or eight years now, and it’s honestly one of the most useful apps I have. The habit feature has really helped me stay on track and get things done, and I love how easy it is to add tasks especially with the voice feature now. Being able to send emails into TickTick and have them show up as checklist items is als
30. [R48] 5/5 · US MY FAVORITE APP EVER: This app is amazing! I’ve been using it for a few years after attempts with to-doist, calendar apps, and good old paper and pen! This app just sticks to you like glue. It has everything you could think of and mind you after the first few months I did pay for the subscription, here’s why: - the background ambient music (particularly deep sea) became the only thing that provide
31. [R13] 5/5 · US Great Things Alternative: Things but works on Windows too. I can’t believe how dumb the developers of an app have to be to lock you into one ecosystem. I love Apple products but sometimes I can’t choose what ecosystem my employer uses…
32. [R21] 5/5 · US TickTick better than Todoist (for me)!: 1. Better repeating task options 2. Better Calendar Views & Integrations 3. Ability to link tasks to each more easily 4. Ability to integrate with Notion more easily 5. Todoist has a nicer UI, is slightly less buggy, and has a slightly nicer quick entry option for tasks 6. But in general, just a lot more little nice power features that make it subst
33. [R58] 2/5 · US Missing key feature: Great app potential, but you must rely on third party apps or native calendar app to create an event. If you try to create an event in this app, it becomes a reminder, so it does not transfer to other calendars as an event. I asked the developers in-app for an explanation for why I cannot schedule an event in a *calendar* app and they said they’d consider that feature in the f
34. [R233] 2/5 · US Warning this not a calendar app, it’s a calendar viewer.: Please add an option to either create a task or an event. I love this app, but it boggles my mind that you cannot create an event like every other Calendar app.
35. [R770] 3/5 · AU ..: Would be better if we didn’t have to pay for a calendar.
36. [R92] 1/5 · US Widget broken after new update: The home screen widget no longer works which was my whole time with this app
37. [R117] 3/5 · US Everything’s gone: I used it for my basic tasks for the day and for recurring tasks. It signed me out for no reason today and none of my emails are working. They all sign in with a brand new account. All of my tasks are just gone. If you’re going to use this app just make sure you at least have a record of the tasks you have and the frequency you do them. Because otherwise it may just disappear.
38. [R183] 2/5 · US Lots of potential, lots of bugs.: The notification bubble on the app icon is often inaccurate for overdue and snoozed tasks. They are double counted or not counted at all until the app is opened. This happens when background updates are enabled or not. When a task is very overdue (from prior day for example) if you select “Done” from lock screen, it won’t mark complete in the app, it only disappea
39. [R221] 1/5 · US Crashes On Vision Pro: I just wanted to be able to have my todo list visible when I’m working without having to take up screen real estate. I’m pretty confident that it used to work on Vision Pro about a year ago. As of now it crashes on launch. It did let me sign in though. Very frustrating that it doesn’t work. I guess I’ll open in safari.
