  1. [R5] TickTick:To-Do List & Calendar 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.
  2. [R8] TickTick:To-Do List & Calendar 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
  3. [R50] TickTick:To-Do List & Calendar 5/5 · US Amazing Planner: It helps me remember so many things, there are so many appointments and classes I would have missed if it wasn’t for this. I would highly recommend it. It’s also very easy and intuitive to use. It lets you arrange tasks by priority and allows you to schedule things wayyy ahead of time. You can also schedule repeat tasks and then delete them on specific days without deleting the ov
  4. [R64] TikTok 1/5 · US so much bugs: the app banned me for no good reason and when i appealed and tried to log back in it gave me a weird old version of the app, so i had no choice but to delate the app because i was stuck on a old version and wanted to go on my other accounts, also delated all of my data such as drafts, so horrible and now i have to restart from anew.
  5. [R40] TickTick:To-Do List & Calendar 5/5 · US Easy to use: I am 64 and still easy to use.
  6. [R52] TickTick:To-Do List & Calendar 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! ❤️
  7. [R7] TickTick:To-Do List & Calendar 2/5 · US Not smooth: Interface is just way too much. Needs to be streamlined massively. Better apps are just like your calendar with two buttons on the side. That's it. Ticktick has like ten pages of shi
  8. [R21] TickTick:To-Do List & Calendar 1/5 · US Bloated apps: I would not recommend, bloated operations. I just want to add my lists and organize. I don’t want a tool that consumes too much management time. An easy drag in other apps requires too many clicks
  9. [R9] TickTick:To-Do List & Calendar 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.
  10. [R27] TickTick:To-Do List & Calendar 2/5 · US This app horrible: There’s a difference between nagging and outright obnoxious. This app is the later. I would not mind if snoozing a task on one device actually synced in a reasonable time on other devices, but it doesn’t. I’ve walked into a separate where my iPad is and the alert is still going 5-10 minutes after it was snoozed on my iPhone. Yes, they are on the same network. Rescheduling tasks
  11. [R59] TickTick:To-Do List & Calendar 2/5 · GB glitchy widgets: it was a great app and i’ve been using it for several years but recently the widgets are glitching. the main reason i chose this app was to display my list on my home screen but now this no longer works
  12. [R29] TickTick:To-Do List & Calendar 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
  13. [R57] TickTick:To-Do List & Calendar 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.
  14. [R67] TikTok 1/5 · US Full of ads now: Literally one ad every three videos now??? Really? Totally just trash and unusable
  15. [R70] TikTok 2/5 · US Inappropriate advertisements: I get inappropriate advertisements on this app. Although I block them, they keep showing up on my feed. I have deleted the app. Not safe for children. If the ads are there, the age limit should be 18 years old and up. TikTok, please fix this.
  16. [R45] TickTick:To-Do List & Calendar 1/5 · GB Scam: Starts a premium subscription without your permission, took me a few months to clock it.
  17. [R47] TickTick:To-Do List & Calendar 1/5 · GB Can’t delete my account: This is the most annoying thing about an app you read the reviews get all hyped up about to go download register with them to actual use the app, then realise it has no absolute use to me at all and when it comes to delete my data and information to uninstall the app the deletion process has an error 🙄typical behaviour of a hyped up app that actually has no use for a neuro
  18. [R63] TikTok 3/5 · US UNBAN ME: i’ve been banned from messages for years now simply because i made a joke to an old friend about harming myself. I was fully joking and thought it was a funny response which we both were very aware that i was joking. I’ve been banned for years from messages even though it said it was only a 30 day ban. Fix this please or i will be deleting the app
  19. [R95] TikTok 4/5 · US It banned me for nooo Noo reason I’m old enough to be on TikTok when ppl are clearly lil kids!!!!: I love TikTok tho
