Ratings and reviews

Don't count on this app to remind you of important or recurring tasks, or to sync seamlessly with the desktop. It's alright for things that aren't time sensitive or high impact; grocery lists yes, appointment or filing deadlines no. As long as there are no meaningful consequences for this app's poor performance you should be fine. I'm only using it until I find a replacement. And don't get me started on its failed Outlook "integration".

I downloaded this app because the web version has been so helpful in keeping me organized for school. But a major feature is missing from the mobile version -- where the hell are the categories?! I painstakingly set up different categories for different tasks on the browser and they're just gone on the app? Seems like a major oversight to me. Here's hoping it gets fixed asap...

Overall, the app does what it's supposed to do, but a few quality of life features would go a long way - for one, a list for "later this week" would be nice, as would the ability to nest lists more than one deep. However, the Achilles' heel of the system is definitely its sync. Syncing frequently fails or takes forever, and is often too slow between devices to make the most of the other capabilities of the app. Honestly if a better option came out I'd jump ship in a heartbeat.
