Things 3 vs Structured

What reviewers actually said

Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.

1. [R3] Things 3 3/5 · US Can’t Check Off Recurring Tasks Early: This app came highly praised and the reviews are almost unreal but this app doesn’t have the one feature that, for me, is the most important: inability to check-off recurring tasks due in the future. Complete waste of money as I got the iPad version too. I’m going back to Apple Reminders to get basic functionality.
2. [R15] Things 3 3/5 · US Repeat Problems: Good app, but can't check off a repeating task the day before it is due. Can only check it off on the day it is due. So if you get it done a day or so early, you are out of luck. Another problem: If I miss checking off a task on a particular day, it shows up on the next day, but there is no way to find the original due date. It just says due today. I’d like to go back and find
3. [R21] Things 3 3/5 · US No attachments: This app would be a perfect app if you could add photos, files, links, etc. That is a major issue for me.
4. [R63] Structured 3/5 · US Good but could use improvement.: I am trying this app out, but find myself severely disappointed in how app handles “overlapping” tasks. I juggle 2 jobs with variable schedules, and have ADHD which this app claims to be aimed at, so I schedule out work shifts in my calendar so I visualize my week and plan other events around them. I want to be able to nest work tasks within that scheduled time, bu
5. [R30] Things 3 3/5 · US UI could be more intuitive: While Things appears to be the most solid to do app, and one I’ve used for years, there is still room for improvement to make it more intuitive. I use a lot of recurring reminders, and each time have to look up how to make them recur in the app. I don’t have this issue with any other app, but Things makes it hard to do, there’s no clear way to make a reminder recurrin
6. [R56] Things 3 4/5 · US So Close to Perfect: I only use this for repeating events/tasks. Which is amazing, but a little clunky. I really wish I could more easily move task date to sooner or later since it just hits you with a "pause" or "change" on the recurring options, not the actual date. I would also like to move things around in the "Upcoming" menu since I like that view to know how packed I made a day, and want to
7. [R72] Structured 3/5 · US App Immediately Force Closes: App force closes upon opening
8. [R118] Structured 2/5 · US Love it, but it crashes too often: This app seems to only work for a few minutes before crashing. I keep hoping that the new updates will fix it but it doesn’t. Right now it won’t even load fully without crashing. So frustrating since I work mainly off of my laptop and don’t want to have to switch to my phone or iPad in the middle of working to add something or mark it done.
9. [R27] Things 3 3/5 · US Crashes After Opening: I am using iOS26 and whenever I open the app, it crashes. Uninstalled and reinstalled, nothing. Works great on Macbook and iPad tho...
10. [R46] Things 3 1/5 · US The mighty has fallen: TLDR: find another app. I was a power user with things, but it no longer fits my needs. I never thought I’d write this. Things has always been the best. Always the sharpest looking. Always ready for productivity. Always in Apple’s spotlight. But Things has been slowing down… Today, iOS 26 launched. I woke up hopeful that Things would surprise us by giving us a new feature
11. [R96] Structured 3/5 · GB OK, sometimes: Works well on iPhone and iPad, but constantly crashes on a Mac which is really frustrating.
12. [R18] Things 3 3/5 · US Can’t use across iPhone and iPad with buying another version: Admittedly haven’t gotten much into the functionality, but a big reason is I had planned to quickly input items with my phone on-the-go and then reference on my iPad later. Well, after paying $9.99 for the iPhone version, turns out I need to also pay $19.99 for the iPad version. Seems excessive, haven’t done it.
13. [R19] Things 3 2/5 · US Be ready to spend a lot and not be able to share with others: I saw all the great reviews and was super excited to buy this app and organize my life! And yes, it’s a great app to organize projects and tasks however it has some serious shortcomings, especially given the exorbitant costs. First, you can’t share with a family member so having a shared family to do list in one app is impossible with
14. [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.
15. [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
16. [R41] Things 3 5/5 · US Best of the best: Things is probably my favorite app ever made on Mac and iPhone. It’s rare to find software of this quality longevity and reliability and I genuinely base my entire life around it. I hope it’s still here in 30 years from now because I intend to keep using it. I look forward to every update. I’ll be the first line to support the team however I can even after all these years. I kee
17. [R47] Things 3 5/5 · US Simple, yet highly functional: Great app! I hesitated so long trying to find something free, but this is so worth the price. The design is clean and intuitive. The app is simple and not overwhelming, while being able to take on much more than just to do lists.
18. [R68] Structured 5/5 · US This App is wonderful, and keeps getting better: Shoutout to the dev(s) and team behind this app. I never write reviews, but I am long time supporter. Your product is great
19. [R109] Structured 1/5 · US Used to be amazing.: This is the first time I am reviewing an app for how it has disappointed me. This tool used to be very helpful to me when I was in a difficult time of my life but now the updates have whipped my schedule entirely and has become difficult to use without using the Ai tool. I paid for a lifetime subscription for this app because I believed it would help me and the developers earn
