- [R3] Todoist 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
- [R9] Todoist 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.
- [R63] Habit Tracker 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❤️
- [R75] Habit Tracker Free & great but limited: I wish apps were up front about what all is included on the free version. I was really looking forward to using this tracker and really enjoyed the interface and setup. After creating 6 habits I couldn’t add more. I reached out to the support team and learned that you only get 6 habits on the free version and if I wanted more I’d have to buy the subscription. I also learn
- [R2] Todoist Amazing Application: I have been using this application for over 13 years and have been witness to the amazing product development that the task manager is today. Very intuitive data input allowing for simple daily reminders to complex team project management. I love the simplicity of quick task entry putting the essential organizing categories up front. It even allows for verbal entry. Ther
- [R8] Todoist Great app: I love how flexible it is with when to plan things. Easy to figure out and keeps me on track.
- [R61] Habit Tracker This app sucks: It’s not intuitive.
- [R73] Habit Tracker Not worth it: No different then the reminders app that’s already included for free on your iPhone. I set reminders on this app to remind me to do things and it never sent notifications. And yes I went into settings to make sure notifications were enabled. Really disappointed. Want my $9 back.
- [R1] Todoist 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
- [R10] Todoist 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.
- [R70] Habit Tracker 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???
- [R109] Habit Tracker Love it but not recommended: I purchased the Premium Lifetime Family subscription last week, but only my own account was activated. The family feature is still not working, and I cannot find where to add my family members’ email addresses or accounts. I also tried contacting support through email and Instagram, but I have not received any response so far. Very disappointing experience.
- [R5] Todoist Big fan of this program: I’ve been using Todoist for years. It’s rock solid and I rely on it it to keep my life organized. Very good product.
- [R50] Todoist Highly recommended: Been on the paid plan for years now. So intuitive and easy to use, truly a game changer. You can create projects (private/shared/work team), easily organize with labels and levels of priority. It has board view, list view, calendar view, set multiple reminders with an alarm, add Time Tracker to see how much time you spend on a task etc. Now you can also add tasks by speaking. J
- [R77] Habit Tracker Amazing: The lifetime membership fee is $8.99. You can’t beat that for an app this awesome.
- [R28] Todoist 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.
- [R64] Habit Tracker No Way to Delete Account: I’d like to delete my account and don’t see a way to get in contact with the developer or delete through the settings. Please delete my account.
