"probably the best to-do list manager, but you have to do things "the Todoist way"
What do you like best about Todoist?

Works well on Android and web. Have never seen any sync issues. Very quick to add tasks with basic information.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

The company adds, removes, and changes features as it sees fit, with no warning to users. They recently implemented a change that broke a common workflow of mine (and many other people) but they insist it's because we aren't working the right way, and that their way is better. This arrogance is very frustrating.

What problems is Todoist solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is so easy to add tasks on mobile and to "share" items to new to-do items that I no longer and emailing myself reminders, links, etc.

"TO DO or NOT TO DO - be the structure, your users missing"
What do you like best about Todoist?

IT comes in a day by day manner to you... not big or heavy - you have a task. fine - you will find it there. the reason for me to stop using it, was probably the-adoption by some counterparts. if someone is not able to understand the purpose, we dont laugh or pointing finger on him or her. in a first try we say the app itself is not logic. and we mean the road to customer success is nit given based on the missing adoption performance delivered by the app-team. the task-lists could become in a very short time, quite heavy, polluted. I could change deadlines, set by another layer - and with this it became obsolete for me. i cant stress it tooo often. apps need personality and a personas to be identified with ... make the onboarding or trial a great user experience to even win a gratis month by checking all needed core features.. one simple idea... FAZIT: be lucky todoit - you have your clientele safe and committed. not everything in the business day needs to mirror silicon valley or media agency soap opera lightness - tasks are there for structure the business. people use it, because they cant develop structure by them-self. be the structure, have red lines for the a-signed people. help to form the right post culture. remember they all come back from working home..

What do you dislike about Todoist?

all listed already in the above section.

What problems is Todoist solving and how is that benefiting you?

all summarised in section 1 - i will get better with the time. promised

"Great tool for simple quick organization, but not very robust for more complex circumstances"
What do you like best about Todoist?

It is a great tool to have quick lists of things to do through the day/month/year. You can divide lists in different projects and in subsections inside those projects. There is also time tools to organize things in dates and there is option to see what is due today, or upcoming amongst others. It also allows you to customize a little, with themes and settings for example. There is a free version that allows you to do enough for individual organization, but there is also a premium version where you get more functionality such as labels and archived projects.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

It is a wonderful tool for personal use, however it is quite limited when it comes to robust enterprise organization tools amongst multi-project teams. I can see it more as a way to create quick to do lists for different projects, but when it comes to assigning sub tasks to different teams members and managing deadlines, steps inside those tasks, collaborations etc.. it is just too simple of a tool. However that is what makes it great for other purposes like self organization.

What problems is Todoist solving and how is that benefiting you?

Allows to keep track of personal organization for different project/areas, and have to do lists for all of them, with sub sections for each and deadlines if necessary.

"A practical tool with loads of integrations and great insight of your performance."
What do you like best about Todoist?

The number of integrations with different tools

What do you dislike about Todoist?

Nothing about the tool, really. It's just that after some years of using it I realised that I needed something more visual and kanban style

"Awesome tool to get organized"
What do you like best about Todoist?

I love how it supports task sharing. You can share task lists with other users for collaborative working, which is very useful in the field of work I am in.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

The interface itself takes time to get used to but once you get used to it, it's a powerful too, it also has a lack of a calendar feature.

What problems is Todoist solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am more organized with my clients and able to multi task more efficiently.

"Great productivity app for tracking to do list"
What do you like best about Todoist?

Great UI. Easy to use. Makes me productive. The integrations with outlook are stellar. I like ToDoist's advanced features where you can tag your actions and group them into projects. The @ feature is also very helpful for flagging against people. This helps organise your to do lists by many filters. I think on the whole this is one of the best to Do List apps you can get. if you are in the market for this type of app, then ToDoist is one of the best you'll come across by far.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

Not as simple to use as Outlook tasks. Could have integration with outlook for Mac. I think if you have Office 365, the Microsoft To Do does the job just fine. ToDoist is good if you want the more advanced features. You cannot assign tasks to anyone in your company, the same way you can do in Outlook. Like any to do app, if your actions go overdue, you then have to spend a long time learning them up.

What problems is Todoist solving and how is that benefiting you?

Managing my time and tasks. With ToDoist and smart organization of my email, I can save 30 minutes per day. I can plan out my week and put things into my calendar from my to do lists. I am definitely a lot more productive with Todoist. I've had my team test it and they find it to be very helpful too.

"Todoist "
What do you like best about Todoist?

Easy to use to edit and prioritize tasks. Overall the interface is uncluttered.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

It is not intuitive to collaborate on lists with a team. It is better for using as a individual and not as part of a team.

What problems is Todoist solving and how is that benefiting you?

While not a stand alone project management tool, it is nice addition to show task prioritization quickly at a glance.

"Todist as an Organizational Tool"
What do you like best about Todoist?

I use the general to-do list features (today, and 'next 7 days') to track the tasks that I need to finish on a daily basis that can sometime get lost in the shuffle. I like being able to see the upcoming day's lists, and being able to assign tasks to specific days (instead of just making one big list). I also like the Projects feature, to help me track progress on more complicated work assignments in a more developed way than simply using a to-do list.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

Occasionally when a task is completed it disappears from my list and I have trouble finding the completed tasks view, which I think it important to be able to view.

What problems is Todoist solving and how is that benefiting you?

I think it helps solve the problem of constantly using paper to-do lists (which can be easily lost); instead I can easily access my tasks and build upon my list in a constructive way. For our project management at work, it also helps solve the problem of distributing project assignments and steps in a clear and memorable way (the email feature, and assigning tasks and due dates to certain people, helps avoid having certain steps fall through the cracks if we didn't know who was working on them. Also makes it harder for my team to forget what they should be working on/towards).

"Simply perfect"
What do you like best about Todoist?

I'm also on the hunt and changing my personal to do list. I like that there's app, desktop, and browser versions. It's the best version of a physical to do list turned digital and manageable. It's easier to reorganize tasks,add photos and links etc. I know there are more features I haven't even dipped my toe into.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

I don't think there's really anything I dislike. No features I really wanted. I would have issues figuring out how to tab in or nest a task under another, but I must've figured that out or dealt with the trial and error because I can't describe it better now.

What problems is Todoist solving and how is that benefiting you?

In the work of trying to change the world either at a nonprofit, political campaign, running my own business, and keeping my personal and family life together, I needed something to literally keep it all together. I've tried Google, anydo, Trello, Evernote, airtable and other kanban styles that might work in the physical for me but not the digital or apps that just didn't click for me. I loved having different boards but could tag a task in multiple. I love setting deadlines and my daily email - though when I was falling behind it annoyed or stressed me. My team liked it so much some of them adopted it personally. As a manager, it was great for keeping track of my team's work, and it was easy to create a snapshot for my supervisor.

"Simpler version of asana"
What do you like best about Todoist?

It's free and quick to setup but isn't as nice as asana or Wunderlist.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

It's caught in the middle of being simple enough and complex enough. For what it is, it's too difficult to figure out how to use.

What problems is Todoist solving and how is that benefiting you?

We didn't use it for long enough to realize any.

What do you like best about Todoist?

"Great Cross-Platform Solution; Needs UI Improvement"
What do you like best about Todoist?

I love that I can use this app on pretty much any computer or device I own. I also think the Gmail integration is top notch. Emailing tasks to an app is a nonstarter and radically disrupts workflow.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

The iOS app can use a UI refresh. It doesn't incorporate 3D touch, which would allow a multitude of new adjustments (see e.g. 2do). The free version is also quite limited, not allowing scheduling of tasks.

What problems is Todoist solving and how is that benefiting you?

General management of personal and professional to do lists. I have been able to merge both of these types of lists into a single app. That said, it's a good, simpler app than Asana, for example, and others for simple task management.

"Great tool for our team"
What do you like best about Todoist?

I can share tasks with other members of my team, and my supervisor can assign things to me as needed.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

I wish there was a way to mark a task as "in progress" or show other status markers.

What problems is Todoist solving and how is that benefiting you?

This has allowed my boss to see how much I have on my plate and know when I'm busy or when I'm able to take on more.
