Todo App Reviews

I’ve used Todo for years on Mac and iOS devices. It’s a great complement to the native calendar and reminder apps, especially for things that need periodic attention (e.g. advance warning of auto-renew subscriptions). For a while I experienced issues with the iCloud sync, which crippled the app for my use-case. It’s good to see that Appigo is still actively developing and maintaining the application - and the 3.0.7 version on Mac has been rock solid for me. I think it’s the best of category for to-do applications. Give it a try!

I emailed their tech support to see if the bugs people reported were actually gone. Tech wrote back and assured me bugs fixed and it works fine in El Capitan. So I downloaded and synced my iPhone Todo list. Everything worked fine but now it won’t sync to iCloud at all. So I am not going to use it. Update: 3.0.7 requires manual syncing. Why? Shouldn’t it try to sync every few minutes?

A year later and they still haven’t fixed the sync bugs. This product simply CANNOT sync correctly, even between their own products!!!! Been using it since it came out. Pathetic, incompetent “programmers” ------------------------------------ I’ve used this product and ToDo for iPhone / iPad for several years now. I really like the product, but the endless sync problems have finally made it useless for me. No sync process should corrupt data, this one does. It dis-associated sub tasks from tasks, removed checklist items from tasks, placed them in the wrong list (inbox) and duplicated several hundred records. Then it spins in an endless loop, never ever "completing” the sync. It’s become a “brick" Bottom line: if you don’t know how to write software that syncs properly, you have no business selling it and pretending like you do. Not something you can rely on everyday, as a task list app MUST be. Support has been unable to correct the problem, still waiting on a final resolution, but fro what I’ve eperienced so far, not holding my breath

This app used to work but for the past year or so it refuses to sync with the iOS version of this app making it useless.

EDITED: I wanted to add a comment about the syncing problems others have mentioned - that problem ONLY applies to ToDo users who were using iCloud to sync with BEFORE iCloud changed to iCloud Drive - the change to iCloud Drive that Apple made to iCloud users is the root of the problem AND the developer has clear instructions on their website about how to fix this - I know, I was an existing ToDo user hit with the problem, but I followed the instructions and now my iCloud (Drive) is syncing perfectly. If you have never used ToDO before, you will not have this problem. After recently updating both my OS (to El Capitan) and all of my versions of ToDo (Mac, iPhone, and iPad) to the most current, I now have everything syncing fine between all three via iCloud, although you can also sync using Dropbox or Appigo’s Todo Cloud. I’ve tried a large number of ‘to do’ apps but overall this (Appigo ToDo) is my favorite for it’s simplicity (for just keeping track of simple ‘to do’s’ it’s pretty easy to start using with little need for instruction or tutorials) and because the interface is very well organized. I have my tasks categorized by Work, Projects (volunteer stuff), Family, and Personal. Start dates, due dates, and reminders are a snap to setup for those tasks that have to be done on or by a certain date, and changing priorities on the fly is simple also. I add things I have to do as they come up, and after adding notes and any subtasks, and assigning dates, I can then forget about it until they come up on my Focus list or I’m reminded to start them. For more complex jobs, it also has the ability to turn tasks into ‘projects’, complete with sub-tasks and delegation to others and handle milestone dates. One thing I would love to see the developers add is some options to customize the appearance (colors) - I love the App but I find the current color theme a bit hard on my eyes.
