Remember The Milk: To-Do List for Negative User Reviews
✓ No location based remindersEven though this app puts you through the trouble of setting up locations it doesn’t actually offer location based reminders. So this made it useless to me. Extremely disappointed this was not mentioned more clearly. I would like a refund please..Version: 4.3.28
✓ Too fiddly, looks horrible, overpricedRTM was the first task manager I ever used. I could never get push notifications as I couldn’t afford pro, and while the natural language input seemed great it used to drive me up the wall as it didn’t accept things the way I naturally type them. I thought I would give it another try due to it having separate start and due dates, and a really advanced smart list system. However I’ve given up in frustration. It’s confusing that start dates are on the right and due dates on the left. The filter system is too confusing. A lot of the colours don’t stand out against the background. That cow logo is as ugly as it ever was (sorry but it’s true). I can’t see how to add tags in the task input window and it’s too frustrating to learn how to do anything. But my number one biggest complaint is that if a task starts today, it doesn’t appear in today - that only lists tasks due today. Sure, I can make a smart list. But the WHOLE POINT of start dates is for things to just show up! If it starts today it should show up today like in Things! Otherwise there’s no point offering dates. I use TickTick at the moment and considered a switch for the complex filter system but won’t be switching. RTM is too confusing, lacks calendar integration and pro is expensive and doesn’t seem to include that many features. It’s also just to difficult to work out how to do anything. I have never understood why RTM pro is so expensive and I still don’t. Also, a warning: you can get a refund on pro after 14 days but only if you buy through the website. It won’t tell you that in the app. And it also costs slightly more through the website which is unacceptable - RTM didn’t send me a good explanation for this when I asked why they had set a higher price on their website. So be warned. Sorry RTM but you really need to step up your game. This app is overrated and overpriced..Version: 4.3.30
✓ All in all failingRememberthemilk (RTM) is a decent todo list manager with a very cute brand. I used web version and app with a subscription for a few years. However a few usability issues never got addressed: So for example Tag selection on existing tasks is a nightmare-ish long list. What drove me away is that the iPhone push notifications never worked reliably: You set them up and they work, but maybe a month later they stop functioning. You need to go through some hoops to get it working again - and the same will happen. But NOTIFICATIONS CAN BE CRUCIAL and need to be trustable. So eventually I gave up and moved on..Version: 7.0.12
✓ Stupid icon and ugly design but good for GTDIt has start dates thank goodness. But give us the option to change the icon at least. It’s too unprofessional.Version: 4.2.54
✓ Ignores modern gesture supportRTM does a good job of honoring recent Google interface standards. For example it has a big circle with a plus sign to let me add a task. Unfortunately it completely ignores the use of gestures. Yes, it has two primitive strokes - stroke left and stroke right. Those “complete” a task or let “postpone” it. However, how delete with a stroke? It’s as though they never looked at a modern app such as, Clear. No delete stroke. Well, what about creating a new task? Nope. You have to tap through a series of awkward choices. No stroking. Switching lists? Of course there’s a stroke, right? Nope. Switching views? In your dreams. The bottom line it is much slower and more awkward to use than it should be. Additionally, and this may be my fault, the View mechanism seems awkward. I spent a while trying to figure it out. Help pages are *pathetic*! I gave up after a fair amount of effort. I suggest you go find a To Do app that keeps up with the exciting and excellent use of stroke gestures, deep press, and all the other simplifying ideas that Apple has added to iOS. P.s. I just remembered - I could not even drag items to reorder the list. Even if there is a “sort manually” options (which I could not find), there aren’t drag bars. I invite the developers, again, to go check other cutting edge apps and keep up..Version: 4.3.12
✓ Perfect app until it wanted $54.99 YEARLYThis app is exactly what I have been searching for! I was really excited it had everything I needed and started inputting my info right afterxnfbvf fight you dc xx. I started making my To Do List and realized if I wanted any sort of notification or alarm to go I had to sign up for the pro version. I never pay for apps or subscriptions but I was willing to pay for this app until I saw how much it was. $54.99 a YEAR for features that should be included in a free model. I’m back on the hunt for my perfect app..Version: 5.0.5
✓ Why pay $25/year?Although this is a great app and one of the better to-do lists available for the iPhone, I hate how RTM is going about doing this. They should not be charing $25/year for this service when there are other equal apps that you can buy for $10 or less and have forever! They are being far too greedy with this and I feel the right way to go about this is to have it as a paid app using their free service. Really dissapointed as I wish I could use this app for longer but I'm just going to delete it now and go for another To-Do list type app..Version: 0
✓ No reminders on free versionNo point having a reminder list if I have to remember to check it to see what's on there! No notifications of reminders unless you upgrade to pro means that this is a straight uninstall for me..Version: 4.1.21
✓ Worth one time $25 onlyI became a pro user to be able to use this app. Overall it's a great application, perfect syncing with the web app was the reason for me to switch from Things app. However, I'm not planning to pay another $25 next year. If they don't allow us Pro users continue using this app freely after the first year, I (and many others) will be going for alternatives (which are more than many)..Version: 0
✓ Not free!A nice idea - until you find out you have to pay for it. Very sneaky it doesn't tell you this until after you've handed over your email address and signed up. Never tried it - got instantly deleted. Now have to unsubscribe too....Version: 0
✓ Premium-pesteringPretty good app but missing quite a bit of functionality to try and make you pay for the premium version. Most annoying thing is how it lists premium options in the menu of regular users: when you click on them the app pesters you to pay 40/year for the privilege of the option that is THERE IN THE MENU TAUNTING YOU FOREVER. Otherwise, decent..Version: 4.1.21
✓ Doesn't support multiple time zonesApp works so far if you manage tasks, due dates and appointmens in one time zone only. Because the ICal Feeds were implemented incompletely (not including the time zone of the event) it is a nightmare and mistly useless to work with when managing tasks in different time zones. Although this bug is known to support for years it has not been fixed yet..Version: 4.2.25
✓ Needs workSmart lists need work. For instance, alotting a task by week.Version: 4.1.21
✓ I *want* to love it ... but I don’t.There’s a lot to love about this app. Multiple types of lists, flexible, the ability to share lists with friends, family, co-workers... all cool. The problem is that most of the useful features and controls are only available when you spin up your desktop computer. NOT. FROM. THE. PHONE. APP. As an example, I would like to add my husband to the grocery list. But the app won’t let me do that. Go home and use the computer, because I can’t do this simple task while I am out running errands. Okay. He’s added. (Took me two days to remember while I was actually in front of the computer, but that sort of thing is why I need a list app anyway, right?) He gets to the store to buy groceries. Pulls out his phone and opens the app. No list! Why not? Well, he was supposed to remember to turn on his computer and accept the list. He can’t do that (or even see that it needs to be done) from the app. Does this make any sense? No. It does not. If and when the RTM team ever gets their act together to make an app that actually works on a mobile device, I might revisit their work. Meanwhile? Forget it..Version: 4.3.30
✓ Used to be 5 starsThis app was great. The whole point of RTM was you could fluently type in a task including when it was due and the app would just figure it out. Now they tried to make some stupid touch UI which breaks entering a task. Try typing in a task "blah blah ^tomorrow 8:00" and it no longer figures out the time. Quickly typing tasks and complete control over recurrence were the main reasons to use RTM, now one of those reasons is broken..Version: 4.0.51
✓ No option if you forget your passwordI used to have this app and I deleted it decided to get it back I already had an account,but it won't allow me to sign in because it keeps saying my passwords wrong but there's no option to have your password sent to you if you forgot it .. I deleted this up again.. Won't download it again it won't let me log on.Version: 3.0.3
✓ Unable to download at this timeI'm trying to update RTM, but it just will not download and install.Version: 4.2.36
✓ Great Evernote integration / Just OK overall (for free version)I originally switched from another task manager because of Evernote integration. The 2-way sync with EN is super smooth. Just switched back to previous app because: With RTM, you have to pay to get reminders. RTM’s user interface is very clunky and inefficient. RTM ‘s Pro features price is way too much, and what's up with "yearly" subscription? There are other task manager apps with better usability for free, and there are too many apps with subscriptions now. I would not dish out more than $1.99/mon for a to-do app with mediocre user interface. I might pay $$ for apps to help me “Do” the job, but not to “Tell me” to do the job. I hope RTM will step up the overall design to be worth its Pro price or provide a more reasonable monthly plan..Version: 4.3.30
✓ Reminders very poorI bought this expensive app to help me remember tasks l needed to do, but the reminders capability on this app is very poor. A task can only be set to be reminded once with no repeats or additional alerts. For this reason it is poor from such a pricey app..Version: 4.2.54
✓ Great todo app that I can't live withoutI've been a long time RTM user, and always love it. It helps me manage tasks and allow me to keep track of every thing I ought to do. The user interface of the app is clean and responsive. $25 a year is a small amount of money to pay for excellent develop team. For those who complain the app is not free, please read the app description, it states clearly it's free for pro user. However, you can try it for free before deciding if pro is worthy. For me, it is. Thanks RTM. [Update] After using the app for awhile, I can't help but feeling frustrated about this app's interface. Adding a task is so difficult, it takes quite a few steps to get it done. To mark a task as complete, you can't do it in one step on the task list screen, you will have to tap Edit, scroll down to bottom, and tap complete. The user interface is unnecessarily difficult, I end up only use the app for checking my current tasks. I'd be appreciated if RTM can add the task in text form only, no more tapping here and there. Simple is the key to succeed, especially for an handheld application..Version: 0
✓ Good but could be betterI want to be able to delete jobs faster!.Version: 4.3.22
✓ Don't botherThe trial version only let you sync once every hour. Practically useless..Version: 0
✓ Some issuesIt doesn’t make sense to me how you can have an app to help you organize your to do lists, but not be able to organize it automatically by the time you need to do it. It’s also super annoying to set the time something needs to be done if you’re setting it at the same hour it currently is. For example, I set a task for today, last night at 11 pm. I wanted to do the task today at 11:15 am, but in order to set the time I had to first set it to 12, save it, and then go back and set it for 11:15. Utterly baffling and incredibly frustrating. I’ll keep using the app in the meantime but will keep looking around for something better..Version: 6.0.15
✓ FrustratingTried to sign up but app kept telling me my email address was invalid. No explanation. It's the email address I always use. Very Frustrating..Version: 4.2.54
✓ BadRemember the milk did not help me remember. very bad.Version: 4.3.30
✓ Nice app but pro is way overpricedThe app interface is good - a little dated in the way users are forced to interact with individual list items (click to edit rather than swipe for common features), but otherwise not bad. I like the way dates and priorities are entered when an item is first created. But not enough to subscribe for $29/year to sync across devices. I wonder if this app has forgotten that it's only a to do list app, or if maybe the creators are trying to discourage people from subscribing. I would consider a one-time fee of 9.99 at the very most..Version: 3.0.4
✓ NOT freeThis app is not free as it pretends to be. it is just a 15 day trial version. i was expecting a lite version, but not a limited trial..Version: 0
✓ I prefer simplicityThe app is fairly simple but I did not like that when I added a new item to the list it defaulted to the bottom of the list where I could easily forget about it. I couldn’t figure out how to make the items add to the top of the list. Also, I could organize by priority or by drag and drop but I could not use both at the same time which I found a bit frustrating. I like to keep a living list that I move around a lot to keep organized. I did not find that part very easy. But it was very easy to add new tasks, which is important. The app had a lot of features without being over complicated, but ease of use was not completely up to par for me. And extra points for the cute name and logo..Version: 5.0.18
✓ Not worth downloading.It’s a bit annoying to set up (can’t be set up entirely from phone, you have to use desktop for the features that you want) and I wish having a reminder was the default setting with an option to turn off. I spent hours putting in my gardening and summer chore plans and none of them notify me at all because I didn’t manually add and set a reminder which takes extra time on top of the already time consuming task of making the item. Plus you have to use a desktop to enable reminders. So far apple reminders has been more functional for me but they are too easily dismissed. Not sure if I’ll use this app going forward, pretty disappointed in it. The user interface is also very clunky looking. Between the annoying way to have to input everything, the annoying way you have to set reminders and basically the annoying way you have to do everything on this app makes it not worth it to me. Plus they clearly take your data. They should be paying you for your data..Version: 7.0.11
✓ $25 a year?Although this is a great app their are equally good ones for far less $ and only have to pay for once. This app is $25 a yr. I agree with others very sneaky of rtm to avoid apples fees by requiring payment outside the app store..Version: 0
✓ Convenient appEasy to use but sometimes the daily tasks marked completely the day before re-appear. Causing a bit of trouble to tick then off again..Version: 8.4.2
✓ Watch out for sneaky auto-renewThis app just stung me for a $62 fee for an auto-renew feature I did not agree to. It is an ordinary app- and expensive and dishonest auto-renew is the last straw. Do not use Remember the Milk..Version: 7.0.6
✓ Basic features are paywalledNo thanks..Version: 5.0.18
✓ BadNot free.Version: 0
✓ An oldie but a goodie - desperately needs new icon thoughThe app functionality is amazing: everything needed, nothing that isn’t. GUI wise it’s maybe a little dated... just a little, certainly not enough to kill it - tbh it’s such a solid app it can afford that. But the icon? Induces chills every time I see it on my Home Screen. I can replace it on desktop, but I can’t on iOS. I suspect it’s a devs in joke, a bit of humour, but for gods sake drop it or give us some in app options to change it. My phone is my personal device, and it rankles to have a sense of humour I really don’t share on my Home Screen every time I unlock it..Version: 6.0.14
✓ OopsThanks for all the reviews people, just read about the $25/year.....ummm no - delete..Version: 4.1.5
✓ Beware of this ripoff!Congratulations to the marketing genius who gets users to pay an annual fee for a service that is free with other equivalent apps (and some of these apps are free!)..Version: 0
✓ Bait and SwitchThanks to the slimy sales tactics, I deleted the app as soon as I saw it wasn’t free. Might have been a good app; but who knows what else is up their slimy sleeves….Version: 0
✓ Not FreeKinda sneaky! Free for 15days only. Not even worth trying it out unless you are gonna pay the annual fee..Version: 0
✓ "Free" is misleadingWhile the product and service are good, I had originally tried this app because it was free. You get the 15 day trial suprise once you get everything set up. You should really change it from "free" to "trial" if there is such an option. The service is pretty cool if u want to spend $25 / yr. I am just more ticked off that i wa mislead. Heading back to evernote now..Version: 0
✓ Drag and Drop doesn’t workI am so bummed! I spent $ and HOURS of time setting up my tasks on their Pro account. I loved the subtasks. Loved the repeating tasks. Loved the easy to use interface. Disappointed that there are only 3 priorities. Then I was encouraged with the drag and drop feature to order tasks. I spent MORE TIME organizing my tasks using the drag and drop feature. When I went back in, my tasks are out of order. Contacted the developer, they have no plans to fix this and basically don’t care to investigate this. Beyond frustrating! HUGE BUMMER and a deal breaker for me. For the expensive price, I expect their features to work..Version: 4.2.54
✓ Deleted immediatelyYou cannot even try the app, to see if it’s worthy, without creating a log in..Version: 5.0.27
✓ Option to keep reminder on the lock screen!Great app, but its quite easy to overlook sometimes. Could you please add a feature where the notifications from RTM stay on the lock screen even after the iPhone is opened? Kinda like the apple reminder app. Also, and option to say “progress has been made” or “task has been started” would be awesome for keeping track of things one may have started but not finished :) that way you get to feel like you checked something off but know that it still needs work..Version: 4.3.17
✓ New update with Smart Add Shortcuts!I've always felt that the RTM iPhone app was nice but not as enjoyable of an experience as on the web, especially since they've introduced the smart add shortcuts. With the update just out today though, they're there! I currently have pro accounts with Reqall and Toodledo as well as Remember The Milk to compare, and I have to say RTM is the best one. Thanks for the update guys. These guys are worth supporting!.Version: 0
✓ How much for basic functionality?Bitterly disappointed :-( the ONE thing that's vital to a to do list for me, is reminders, and that's available only to pro subscribers at FORTY dollars a year! :-O This was going to the The One list app - it's fantastic is every way, and subscription was something I would consider for just the sharing of tasks feature (as long as every family member didn't have to pay to receive tasks!) but reminders??? To me, that's basic functionality. :'-(.Version: 4.1.21
