1. [R1] Calendar · Planner & Reminders 2/5 · US Not Getting What I Paid For Again: I paid for the Pro version of this app, and I am experiencing for the third time this year not getting what I have paid for. When I use the contact link on the developer site, I continually get an error that my message cannot be sent. This app is fine if you don’t mind constant ads but be aware that you will get them even if you pay not to.
2. [R5] Calendar · Planner & Reminders 4/5 · US Good but needs some fixes: Basically once a year this app deletes ALL of the stuff I’ve entered into my calendar. It is so stressful and inconvenient. I try to click the “missing calendars?” Button and it never opens to anything. And now all of my birthdays that I’ve been adding for years are also gone.
3. [R62] Todoist 5/5 · US Great Tool for Memory Loss: I have memory loss and this app has really improved my life. I used to forget to eat, do basic tasks, and struggled to get anything done because I couldn’t remember what I was doing. I like that I can have recurring tasks with sub-tasks every day so every day I can make sure I complete my whole morning routine, eat meals at proper times, do all my chores, etc. not to me
4. [R71] Todoist 5/5 · US Finally a good to-do list: I have been looking and looking for a good to-do list and finally have found it. This app makes getting tasks done fun and keeps you on track. Adding your Google Calendar is a major bonus and the layout is amazing.
5. [R3] Calendar · Planner & Reminders 3/5 · US Good but…: I love this app but it constantly makes me “restore” my subscription. Which is not a be deal in theory, but when you have to pull up your calendar fast but then have watch a one minute ad (when you pay 5 dollars a month), it’s not ideal… please fix this problem!! I might have to look for another calendar app if it’s not resolved.
6. [R15] Calendar · Planner & Reminders 3/5 · US Consistency PLEASE: It’s my favorite app for years!!! but even though I pay for premium, every other day I get ads and have to “restore premium”. HIGHLY ANNOYING
7. [R65] Todoist 5/5 · US I absolutely love this app: I’ve been using Microsoft To Do for years and just got turned onto Todoist in the last couple weeks. I am absolutely shocked by how many more features and capabilities it has. I can tune it to match exactly how I organize my life absolutely amazing application and the AI dictation feature is shockingly good.
8. [R89] Todoist 5/5 · US Preferred app!: After trying Asana, Apple reminders, Todoist is the easiest task management app to use. It is the most intuitive and it works seamlessly if you have collaborative projects that you were coordinating with other people. I especially like the macOS version on my laptop and how easy it is to add tasks.
9. [R19] Calendar · Planner & Reminders 1/5 · US Restore Purchases sometimes doesn’t work & no reminders: Clicking the reminders check box does nothing and can’t get reminders showing in the calendar anymore. Even though I’ve paid, sometimes I get loads of ads. Happy to change my review to 5 stars if these are fixed permanently. Tried to contact the company via their website form, but after submitting it says, “There was a problem sending your m
10. [R70] Todoist 1/5 · US No longer supporting older iOS and shutting down!: I’ve been paid a user of this app for years. It’s helped me manage my cognitive needs as a part of my disability. Some of the updates to this app have made it less accessible and when I’ve reached out, I’ve never gotten a response. Now, the developers/management have decided to no longer support devices below iOS 17 and they are shutting my versio
11. [R117] Todoist 5/5 · US Wonderful App: I absolutely love Todoist. I’ve been using it consistently for years, and it has genuinely improved my life. It helps me stay organized, focused, and less overwhelmed - both personally and professionally. The ability to easily capture tasks, prioritize them, and build routines has made a huge difference in how I manage my time and mental load. Todoist isn’t just a to-do list for me;
12. [R54] Calendar · Planner & Reminders 1/5 · US Too much money for app: Love the calendar. Started free, then went to $2 a month which I paid and is now $5 a month!?! Not worth $5 a month.
13. [R60] Calendar · Planner & Reminders 1/5 · US TRY TO MAKE YOU PAY TWICE!!!: I have a subscription to this app that is paid up till 2027. However, it is suddenly acting like I have no subscription and showing me the most annoying ads. When I try to get rid of the ads, it tells me that I have to sign up for a new subscription. I have done some research and found out that I’m not the only one having this problem. I have contacted the developers
14. [R110] Todoist 2/5 · GB Great app but price increase coming: Loved using this app but they are nearly doubling the Pro subscription price for 2026 to cover new features (AI stuff). I can’t justify £60 a year for a todo app.
15. [R112] Todoist 2/5 · GB Notifications and reminders no longer work: I’ve been a user for many years, but recently the most important feature for me, notifications and reminders, no longer work. I’ve raised this with support and the didn’t offer any help or explanation. I’m a paying customer and on an annual plan until August so it fees like they assume I can’t go anywhere so what does it matter. So disappointed in the
