Still The Best
Ok, like many other reviewers of this application, I too have many ideas and wants and needs for and from this app. These include:
- ability to add links to new tasks (i.e linking to emails, linking to websites, etc.)
- a more elegant UI (e.g. splitting the list {projects} away from the All, Focus, Starred, Inbox)
- a cleaner task viewer (i.e tasks that are schedualed at the same time are too jumbled together and cluttered for my liking)
- a faster update from iCloud (dont get me wrong, it is GREAT!, I just wish it to be faster)
- ability to add files etc. to tasks (may seem unimportant to some, but to others it can be a deal breaker)
- ability to EMAIL lists (projects), contexts, tags, tasks, etc. to delegates
- ability to share Todo lists with delegates
- when the app is set to open on login there should be an option to HIDE the window on login!
And much more if I had the time to write them all…
But the point is not what this app doesnt have compared to other GTD (get things done) apps, but what it does have. And the one thing it has above all other apps in its genre is a great development and support team. I contacted the Appigo team a day ago begging them to add the ability to email and share lists with delegates, and within minutes had a response from a kind employee that my opinions were appreciated and would be looked into ASAP. Other emails that I have sent out to other GTD apps have been ignored on several occasions. Not to mention, apps like Things never seem to get an update more often than once every month to two months. Appigo has updates coming out for Todo on almost a bi-weekly basis.
Also, the iCloud sync is just amazing. And is the main reason I switched back to using Todo from Things. The ability to use contexts is a MUST with GTD and the lists (projects) are required by anyone in my position where you want to store similar tasks together—apps such as Wunderlist just dont offer this functionality.
So I give Todo 5 stars because if you remember that not every app will be perfect for everyone, you come to the conclusion that Todo pleases the most people with its functionality, abilities, customer relations and constant updates. But I believe Todo can be so much more. And I really hope they keep up the hard work.
