  1. [R2] Todoist 5/5 · US 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
  2. [R8] Todoist 5/5 · US Great app: I love how flexible it is with when to plan things. Easy to figure out and keeps me on track.
  3. [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.
  4. [R17] Todoist 5/5 · US Well that was fast: Needed something fast. Downloaded fast. Up and running fast. Organized fast. Getting task done faster than ever! Free And Saving Time!
  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. [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.
  9. [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.
  10. [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
  11. [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
  12. [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
  13. [R5] Todoist 5/5 · US 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.
  14. [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.
  15. [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.
  16. [R42] 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
  17. [R55] Todoist 1/5 · US Customer Service is Nonexistent: I recently purchased and annual subscription to Todoist but unfortunately the app doesn't appear to recognize that I did. I submitted a support ticket (actually several) since there is no way you can actually speak to a human and they have yet to address this concern.
  18. [R26] Todoist 5/5 · US Unbelievable App: Legitimately the #1 productivity app in the world. I use it with Claude and my life became incredibly more efficient. I’ve tried every app out there and never could hit the sweet spot with anything until now.
  19. [R50] Todoist 5/5 · US 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
  20. [R61] 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.
  21. [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.
  22. [R27] 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
  23. [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
  24. [R64] 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.
  25. [R70] Structured 2/5 · US This game seems cool: This game seems cool but it said I had to pay monthly money which I don’t wanna do even tho it’s cheap I’m just not interested in subscriptions cause I already have to do that so I want a game that is free now it seems cool and helpful but not for me
  26. [R73] Structured 1/5 · US Pricing changed and cannot purchase Pro Lifetime: I was using the annual pro, only for one year, and saved up for the lifetime for Pro. I'm extremely sad and upset seeing the lifetime rose so much in price. I can't afford it now and will unfortunately be moving to something else. I feel this is unfair... I genuinely enjoyed using Structured when I did, but it's unusable without Pro, for me at leas
  27. [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
  28. [R91] Structured 1/5 · US Was great till accepting AI required: I was a satisfied user of this app for years. But this morning when I opened it, it wouldn’t let me view my own information unless I gave unlimited permission for OpenAI to access my account. So I have sadly just uninstalled it on all of my devices. Very disappointing.
