1. [R6] Google Tasks 3/5 · US Still no badges: Years later still no red badges telling you how many tasks are due or overdue.
2. [R8] Google Tasks 4/5 · US Great integration! Too simple tho: I would say this is the best app for those who use smart assistants to set reminders. google assistant of course works but you can use the newer gemini to set reminders with natural language. you can even put a screenshot into gemini and it’ll put the reminders into tasks automatically. i would like it if they added location based and app usage based triggers for
3. [R9] Google Tasks 3/5 · US No search function: The application would be much more useful if there was the ability to search within the app. The only way to search is to do it in the Google calendar application. If you lose the search capability in Google calendar (which is a known problem that I have not been able to fix), both Google Calendar and Google Tasks lose a major function that I depend upon. I am looking for oth
4. [R10] Google Tasks 2/5 · US Reorder Lists: No ability to reorder the lists themselves??? Everything else is good. No I do not want to log in from a computer to move my lists. No i do not want to rename my list then move all the tasks to a new list. This seems like a fundamental feature this app is lacking.
5. [R5] Google Tasks 5/5 · US Getting organized: Great App, allows you to tick of tasks and especially for really busy people who get distracted. I find in retirement I am probably more busy than when I worked a full time job. It adds focus to your day and allows ability to track tasks
6. [R11] Google Tasks 5/5 · US Best organizer: I use if for daily tasks, and things to remember in the future. Super easy to use and features let me create reminder lists that fit my life!
7. [R17] Google Tasks 5/5 · US Helps with organization!: Tasks helps me organize all my to do’s in one place. From business tasks, personal, and joint, I can organize everything in one place and assign dates/view it on my calendar. Love it!
8. [R21] Google Tasks 3/5 · US Generally good and def helps me keep track of things i need to do (with caveats): Generally good and helps me keep track of things i need to do with a simple interface ! Three things would make it sooo much better- 1) Ability to Search for a task in Google Tasks, 2) Ability to see an aggregate list of tasks in addition to by category (all by sorted by due date for example), 3) More reliable
9. [R1] Google Tasks 1/5 · US App keeps crashing: The app keeps crashing without any warnings. I’ve uninstalled, installed and updated the app but I am still unable to open it on my iPhone 11.
10. [R3] Google Tasks 3/5 · US Keeps crashing: I used to use this all the time but now I can't even open the app. I've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it still crashes on open. Back to using Apple Reminders I guess
11. [R12] Google Tasks 3/5 · US Convenient but buggy: App crashes whenever I click ‘add tasks’
12. [R20] Google Tasks 5/5 · US Great: I think it is equivalent to Apple Reminders but if you have all of your stuff on Google Google calendars Google maps they all sync up together, keeps it all in the same place
13. [R36] Google Tasks 3/5 · US Calendar integration is great, but missing table stakes features: The only reason I use this is its integration with Google calendar. But the lack of multi-sort and deadline dates on the app hold it back. Custom sortable fields and sharing tasks with other google users would make it elite level. I'd pay for that.
14. [R85] Google Calendar 1/5 · US Terrible: This is the worst calendar app on the market. I would rather pay for one than use this for free.
15. [R98] Google Calendar 5/5 · US Google calendar get organized: Easily plan & schedule
16. [R7] Google Tasks 1/5 · US Zero for release notes: Bug fixes an improvements, what the hell does that mean? Just try putting something reasonable in here just one sentence that says what you're changing. It's not that hard.
17. [R13] Google Tasks 1/5 · US Missing a search function: The Google Tasks mobile app for iPhone does not currently have a built-in search feature for finding specific tasks. To locate items, you must manually scroll through your lists. My lists are long and this is a PITA. Google, please add this simple feature ASAP!
18. [R19] Google Tasks 1/5 · US Where is Alphanumeric Sorting?: I cannot be all alone in wanting to sort the task lists I create in alphanumeric order. But maybe I am, because this app gets high praise. Wunderlist / Microsoft To-Do it most certainly is not. Be better, Google.
19. [R32] Google Tasks 5/5 · US Đề xuất bổ sung tính năng tìm kiếm (Search): Tôi rất hài lòng với ứng dụng vì giao diện đơn giản và dễ sử dụng. Tuy nhiên, hiện tại ứng dụng đang thiếu một tính năng rất quan trọng là tìm kiếm (search). Khi số lượng công việc tăng lên (ví dụ 200+ task), việc tìm lại một công việc cụ thể trở nên rất khó khăn và mất nhiều thời gian. Trong khi đó, các ứng dụng tương tự như “Lời nhắc” trên iPhone đã
20. [R15] Google Tasks 3/5 · US It's ok: Give the ability to share
21. [R16] Google Tasks 1/5 · US Needs to be able to share tasks with other accounts.: I like that this is integrated with Google suite but unlike calendars and docs etc ya see is are only for you. No shared home grocery lists no project management in your team. This could be so much better instead it’s just irritating.
22. [R23] Google Tasks 4/5 · US Sharing: Great app. Want to share task as or with others or “family”
23. [R46] Google Tasks 1/5 · US Can’t share lists: Can’t share it
24. [R68] Google Calendar 4/5 · US Wish the day of the month showed on the app: The app works great. I love how calendar invites that come in to my Gmail also goes to my calendar once accepted. The only complaint I have is that it always shows “31” on the app. It would be nice if it showed the day of the month, like Apple calendar does. It’s helpful for quick glance to see the date.
25. [R69] Google Calendar 3/5 · US Live date gone: Love the app, but don’t like the update where today’s date is no longer part of the app icon.
26. [R84] Google Calendar 3/5 · US Icon Change: Why does the icon show the number 31, instead of the current date? Even Apple gets that right.
27. [R86] Google Calendar 4/5 · US Just needs one tweak: I wish the app icon would show the date, instead of constantly saying 31.
28. [R87] Google Calendar 3/5 · US Location Glitch: Every time I try to put in the location for an event when I’m inputing something into my calendar, it glitches and deletes the entire event. I’m able to edit the location after I make the event, but it’s incredibly annoying to not be able to put the location in when I’m originally inputting the event into my calendar.
29. [R100] Google Calendar 1/5 · US Cannot enter locations: I used to have the infrequent problem of only being able to enter the first letter of the location of my events, but then the app froze and the only thing to unfreeze it was to force close the app and lose my draft of a calendar entry. But I didn’t think much of it because it happened once in a blue moon. Now since this latest update I can no longer put a location on any of
30. [R105] Google Calendar 3/5 · US Location glitch that won’t go away: When entering a new calendar invite on iPhone, I must enter all details except location first, save it, then edit to add location otherwise the event freezes and a restart of the app is required. It’s been happening for about 12 months. Today, I went back to an event I booked earlier this morning to add location. It froze. Needed to close and restart app. This i
31. [R111] Google Calendar 3/5 · US Freezes Up: For past few months, I put in all information…title,date, time…then when I go to add location, I start to type and it freezes up.
