Mixed Reviews for ToDoist: Is It Worth the Price?

I downloaded this app out of nowhere and I love it so much. As a college student with ADHD it is so helpful to be able to see all of my assignments and everything in one place in a simple fashion. At the begining of every semester I always put all of my assignments into the app and organize it by sections to seperate it into each class and assign it to a day so I always know what is due when. I truly love this app. I use the free version too and its just perfect I don't feel a need to buy the pro version right now but I definitly would if I needed to do group work.

I love trying new productivity apps and rarely write revies, but I have to give this 5 stars. Just try it because it is great.

I removed Todoist a while ago but decided to give it a go again because I wanted an easy way to maintain a living list that I can re-order as needed (as compared with pen and paper). I hit nothing but headaches right off the bat. I can only add items to the bottom of the list, not the top, unless I want to make two extra clicks for every task. Once I have all these items at the bottom of the list, there's no way to drag them all to the top at once. I have to do one at a time. If I give them a priority of 1 and group or sort by priority, there's no way to manually reorder the individual items within a priority group.

I can't do anything with multiple tasks at once, including delete or move to another list. I can't click and drag to copy a portion of my list and paste it somewhere else, like in a status update. To delete a task, I click the triple dots and see that there's a keyboard shortcut, but that only works if I've selected the task. I can only seem to select the task using the arrow keys on my keyboard, but that only works from the top. To get to the bottom I have to arrow all the way down. Once I do delete a task, my selection is gone and I have to start from the top again.

It really is maddening, and I don't know how the devs could actually be using this. I started out with three stars here but I've changed my mind to two.

This app has fundamentally changed the way I plan and get things done. I can't stress how much easier my life has been thanks to the way this app was designed and rolled out. I give about zero thought to the realities of tech or tech companies, but Todoist has had a real positive impact in my life. Good work, folks!

I was always good at being the leader of my time, but this taught my how to be a manager of my time. If I didn't have this app, I wouldn't be able to stay on top of my game. I use it to manage work, fitness, meals, daily chores, monthly chores, readings, volunteering, and any project of all shapes and sizes.

Upgrade doesn't seem to work. Refreshed twice.
upgrade should ideally be easier.

It's easy to use, helps keep me organized and paper-free! <3

This is the best to do app because I was able to link my devices to it and access my lists everywhere and it has other cool functions, but recently there is this popup about an update while there is no update. Every time I go to click something, the popup gets in the way. Such a shame I can no longer use this app. I will definitely change this to a five star once the issue is fixed

Todoist used to be good, even if it lacked functionality. With more functionality added the support has not scaled. Currently it's plagued with server syncing issues (making it impossible to use across desktop/mobile/browser). Backups are not showing. Tasks are being lost. Configuration errors are causing people to resubscribe to the app (at additional cost). There's been plenty of issues with timezone support mixed with calendar integration.

It goes from bad to worse... Customer service is asleep at the wheel, and does not respond to issues in a timely way (have waited over 3 days for any response - and only got one after I started to chase heavily). They apologise for not getting back to you, and provide solutions that are not real (article on FAQ site that is only remotely tied to the problem).

It's highly ironic that they talk about the zen of productivity. It really pains me to give it such a low score (and really wish I could go lower) because it used to be good.

After trying pretty much *every* task manager available, I think Todoist is tops. If you're at the start of your productivity journey, just stop now and download Todoist and then work with it for at least a month to get used to all the features. A huge advantage with Todoist is the integrations and I highly recommend Tascaly becuase it moves your tasks from Todoist (2-way sync) to your calendar seamlessly allowing me to do what makes me the most productive: timeboxing. If I had a wish, it would be that Todoist just bought Tascaly and integrated it into their core product, but it works so well that it really doesn't matter much. Just get Todoist and don't worry about missing any important features becuase it has everything the rest have and probably more.

I really do like this app. It's simple and clean. However, after updating Todoist is stuck on the loading wheel of death. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling on my macbook air but no success. It continues to work on my ipad and phone. I use the app because it can cross platforms so if this isn't resolved, I'll likely switch to another app.

Overall, Todoist is a great app. However, there is no support for Shortcuts on the Mac OS platform.

This is a wonderful application for what it does. I don't really have a complaint about how it works, just the pricing. They have raised the Pro subscription to $48 a year, which I think is a lot for what is really a simple list app.
I had an opportunity to lock in the $36 a year rate they used to charge me but missed their deadline. I contacted them later and asked whether they would consider giving me that price even though I had missed the deadline but they said no. I thought they might want something from me rather than nothing but that was not what they were willing to do, so I have moved on. There are so many other apps with more functions (TickTick) that cost less so I have moved on.

This app worked fine for a couple of days, but all that I can get from it now is a blank white screen. Everything else is working fine with my computer, but Todoist no longer works.

I've never had a dedicated Task/ToDo app as I've always used my own "cobbled together" system. I read a lot of reviews re Todoist, and the most common thing I saw was "I don't know how I got along without this app", or something similar. I'm not really a power user, but between my remote work and personal life I spend a lot of time organizing a lot of projects. Todoist is a major game changer for me and I can honestly say "I don't know how I got along without this app". The intuative, minimalist interface and customization, are great. There are many "under the hood" features that should cover just about anyone's needs. If you need an app like this I would highly recommend Todoist and you'll probably be as impressed as I am. Cudo's to the developers!!!

I get that you want to use natural language processing to add dates and stuff but its like a new programming language i have to learn. It is not very easy to pick up for complicated recurring reminders. Why not provide an option to use traditional options through click and select to setup recurring reminders. Seems like leadership is very bad. Why go all in on natural language processing when its simpler to add recurring tasks traditionally. For this very thing, I'm moving back to Apple reminders. No wonder they are eating you guys all up. They concentrate on the customer and make it easier for them rather than worry about implementing complicated concepts just to look cool. Very dissapointed. This could ahve been something.

Love this app and its flexibility to define projects, tags, tasks with subtasks, etc. I love the ability to drag tasks around so I can track the progress of each of item before finally checking it off.

Sometimes I try out other, differently shiny apps, Trello, Asana, but I always come back.

It's JUST THE BEST.

It takes your scheduling/organization to the next level x2. I have recommended it to more than a few people who have also said they felt it was great!!

This version is not stable enough! After updating, I can’t use it on my mac with macOS Sierra (10.12.6). Please fix the issues. I subscibed few months ago but now can only use this on my phone.

My husband and I use ToDoist for our personal and household schedules, in addition to Google Calendars. I like that we can assign tasks to a person, date, and category. It really helps us stay on the same page with two kids, work schedules, and home renovations.

I may have tried this years ago but forgot it and never did a deep dive. Now I am and can only say it is changing how I do things - almost everything. It wasn't until I dove in head first that I realized how it has simplified my schedule. And it is so flexible to your desired method of workflow - GTD, Kanban, whatever. Reading the guides and blogs really helped me. I have not used a program more consistently in years. I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks developers for a rich cross platform experience with near instantaneous syncing.

This might be the buggiest app I actually pay for. And somehow each release has more bugs.

Update: This rating became 1 star with time (started with 4). The most recent bug is when your Apple Watch is away from iPhone (connection lost) and you add tasks through audio they will disappear and will never get to Todoist.

I’m using the Premium subscription btw. The idea is great, the functionality is there, the set of features is just right! I use this software every day. The only BIG problem is bugs that pop up from everywhere with every update.

I mean it’s not the only bug. You never know what comes after the next update. Also the bugs are different on different platforms. Web version seems to work fine in most cases, while the most buggy is Windows version and macOS version is quite buggy. Apple Watch version is a disaster.
