Things 3 for iPad for Negative User Reviews
✓ Updated and now app won’t openI updated to the newest version today, and immediately afterwards the app will no longer open on my iPad. I’m on an iPad Pro 9.7..Version: 3.10.10
✓ Still the bestIn spite of competition from Apple in ios13, I still prefer Things for functionality, it just organises everything better and is more efficient. I would say that I was tempted by the good looks, colour and design of Apples offering, I especially liked being able to attach scans and photos, although Microsoft goes further with accessing Files and adding PDFs as well, as does Sorted3. Top of my wish list are these features coming to Things3 (or 4), but given slow progress over the years I won’t hold my breath. Nevertheless, as I said, for me Things3 reigns supreme and will do for a long time to come..Version: 3.10.5
✓ Love the way it looks but too expensiveThis app is aesthetically wonderful. I love how it works, it is easy and exactly what I needed to keep “master to do” lists since I tend to use an analog bullet journal day to day. Biggest downside is the price. I thought it was going to WOW me for the price, but it didn’t. Ended up paying $31.07 Canadian, which is the most expensive app I’ve ever purchased which in comparison...app vs price; very disappointing..Version: 3.6.1
✓ Bien mais il faut payer en plus pour une version iPhone...Je comprend qu'il y a des coups de développement pour différentes plateforme mais avoir a payer le plein prix quand on a deja déboursé 30$ pour une version est ridicule. Il serait interessant d’apporter la possibilité d’importer des photos et des fichiers..Version: 3.12.1
✓ Good but limitedIf you want a really simple task organiser, Things3 is great. Although expensive to use on several devices, it has a lovely clean interface, and syncs really well. It’s actually a pleasure to use. But … it’s a bit limited, especially if you like to plan ahead. When I look at my tasks due Tomorrow, they appear in a completely random order that can’t be changed. Apparently applying a basic sort order (e.g. by project!) has been logged as a feature request. But there is no transparency about this — let alone a published development backlog or roadmap. After enjoying my experience with Things, I’ll be moving on soon to something a lot more flexible. I wish I’d chosen that route in the first place — it would have saved me a lot of time & money..Version: 3.16.5
✓ No LinksThe lack of an ability to link to anything like a photo on the iPad or in the Apple Cloud is a major drawback. Not impressed for this price, very disappointed..Version: 3.15.9
✓ Minor bugs. Functional but missing colourThe app appears simple and efficient. Experiencing problems from poor notification. Basically no sound whatsoever. Also please can we have some colouring of the items. Notice that even cheep apps have colour, why not Things !!!.Version: 3.14.2
✓ Good app...but expensiveOk so this is a good app, it’s expensive in my opinion for what you get. It’s quite a basic application but well executed. I am disappointed that after spending what i consider a lot for this app, I now need to spend a further £9.99 on the app for the iPhone, why? I’ve already purchased the main app, why another £9.99, it’s too much money. I notice you are also charging a further £9.99 for the watch app, this is incredibly disappointing and looks like a cash grab..Version: 3.6
✓ Not a fanDon’t often pay upfront but this app had such good reviews. Sorry it does nothing for me particularly given purchase price.Version: 3.3.1
✓ No Adaptive Text stillAsked dev about 5 time to add the ability to increase the Font Size. They refuse to do it. I guess it might screw up the pretty interface. Just subscribed to Omni Focus 3. Way better.Version: 3.13.14
✓ Nice interface but limitedI purchased Things 3 for iPad, iPhone and the Mac. It’s very expensive for the whole ecosystem. The interface is beautiful. That’s about it. I used it to manage my tasks for about three months. I found it very limiting. It is easy to enter tasks. But it does not provide ways and options to flag, filter, layer, view and categorize tasks in complex ways. It is also limited to the Apple echo system and does not even offer a web based interface. It is a basic software at best, slightly above the Reminders app. Not worth the price. I’m now on Todoist Premium subscription. Compared to the functionality that Todoist offers and also the cross platform capability of Todoist, Things 3 is nothing. It also offers an elegant interface but also rich functionality. If you are considering Things 3, I recommend first try Todoist 3 first..Version: 3.3
✓ Batch/ bulk editing and Tag functionality is weak unfortunatelyI would love to give this 5 stars & hope the developers see this feedback. 1) Biggest issue: Cannot bulk tag/ bulk edit tags for todo items... This is a major productivity time drain, having to enter each todo item manually and tag them individually. If bulk editing is difficult to enable, perhaps allowing us to drag tags quickly onto todo lists from the sidepanel? I can drag a tag to multiple tasks much faster than opening each task, clicking the tag button, picking my tag & exiting the task... Yawn..10 seconds for each task is a time killer. 2)Second biggest productivity time waster: Cannot bulk enter/ quick-enter/ paste a list of todo items. Now, I happen to use Mindnode, which allows quick-entry/ pasting a list - but then i have to convert them to tasks and then export to Things. 3) Small, but useful item missing: Issues with printing. Printing upcoming fails to include calendar items. So, you cannot print out nor share your upcoming week on a Monday morning. Printing does includes calendar items in Today mode, but not in Upcoming mode. The app is excellent otherwise, but bulk actions are a glaring weakness within an app that is otherwise wonderfully well thought out for productivity & maximising efficiency..Version: 3.4
✓ Fantastic app...BUT!But please, for the love of God, can you make it so we can collapse Areas like we could in the old version. This new version is ruinous when being forced to scroll through dozens and dozens of areas. Thank you.Version: 3.3
✓ The very bestIf you need a task manger which just works and is beautiful to look at. This is it I switched a few months back from using Todoist for years and never looked back. This is an investment in price but so worth it. Your time is worth every cent. Update: With the kanban style boards become essential for detail projects. Todoist has this feature to convert projects to kanban boards. Things is not innovating like that and I have to now use Trello and things for projects..Version: 3.13.5
✓ Ok upgrade but feels slowThe animations are slick but it makes the interface feel sluggish. A second issue also concerns efficiency. If you want to go to another to-do while there is a pop-up, you have to tap outside the pop-up, and tap into another one (if you have performed some action e.g. moved the to-do to another project, the list may re-animate meaning you have to spend a split second re-orienting yourself, wasting time). This is too many taps. I would prefer a gesture e.g. swiping down or having a 'next' and 'previous' button..Version: 3.1.4
✓ Too expensive.Good: - simple and clear design - the inbox, today, upcoming functions are great Bad: - no web / PC option is a major downside. I can’t use this for work. - tags are useless without a saved ‘tags’ view in the left column. They merely function as a search filter. Not good enough. Nitpicking: - No tasks within tasks / endless hierarchy. - No way of graphically distinguishing tasks. I.e, red label, blue label..Version: 3.12.8
✓ It’s cool and all but...This is a fantastic app and its well thought of and made but there is a main drawback to it. Back then, I had brought the Ipad version and now im unable to download it for my phone or my applewatch. Can you please make it into one app that is available for all platforms?.Version: 3.7
✓ Welcome back! Now reconsidering this purchaseI abandoned Things 2 last year for 2Do as Things couldn't keep up. Things 3 has easily overtaken and is now way out in front. It doesn't just list, it really helps to organise days and weeks. So many good things, but still entirely uncluttered interface. That said, the Mac version is just too much money in addition to both iOS versions. I paid the Mac too as i wanted quick entry with auto-fill - which doesn’t work (see below) Update (March 2018) there is now a quick entry from Mail, not very elegant and quickly clutters the todo text. But we have now LOST quick entry from any app on the Mac version! Not happy with that as it was the main reason for paying the very high cost to get just that facility. Basically the Things Helper keeps uninstalling itself, and having now tried to re-install it many times, I've give up. I reported this to Things support ages ago and they said -oh yes, lots of other people are reporting this too. But so far, nothing has been done..Version: 3.4.2
✓ Don’t keep repurchasingGreat planner / organiser although it’s disappointing that the developers aren’t as organised with the purchases of their product. Releasing as a new app on new releases (Things 3 needed to be repurchased after I’d already paid for Things 2) and having completely separate iPhone and iPad versions is confusing in the App Store..Version: 3.9.6
✓ Useless and expensiveIf you have an event that repeats weekly for example a class in something, and you don’t tick it off because you don’t go that week, it will show up in the next days todo list. I only want it to show up on the day it occurs, and I don’t want to mark as complete if I haven’t done it. I did contact the developer who basically said I have to manage manually. I have no idea why this app has good reviews..Version: 3.5.2
✓ Missing Important FeatureGood app, but missing the most important feature. As a college student, I have homework due every week on specific days, and the repeat feature does not let me tick off the homework for the week unless it is on the day that it is due. This is highly annoying, and the app developers have heard so much about this same feature. We are able to get work done on days before it is due but unable to tick it off as it shows a repeating sign unless it is the day that the to-do is do. You’ve heard enough of this and it’s hurting the app and the reviews and making people not want to buy it, and it’s a simple fix. Please, app developers, show us that you care..Version: 3.8.4
✓ Good but not perfectI wish it was possible to drag and drop tasks from one project to another, especially on iPad Pro.Version: 3.2.2
✓ Siri et Things ne semble pas fonctionner en françaisSiri ne reconnaît pas les indications en français concernant Things.Version: 3.2.2
✓ Identical to Reminders on IPadAnd a lot more expensive. There is minimal additional functionality over the Reminders on the IPad which is free. Reminders also has additional functionality that Things does not (like setting reminders for the last weekday of the month..Version: 3.15.10
✓ Can’t sync without ...I bought the iPhone and iPad version of the app but am not able to sync them because I don’t want to use their service. Apple has a perfectly good cloud service that many other apps sync to, as does Dropbox. Why do I need to give my email address and personal data to another company? Please allow the user to chose which cloud service they want to use..Version: 3.8.5
✓ Grunt EngineeringHello, I have just pursued your app and would like to know how or can I insert photos so I can do a report with photos? If I am able to, can some one please tell me how? Or if that is not an option, can I ask it too be reviewed and added to this app, that would make my world a much happier place and I think that’s what we all should strive for, don’t you? Thank you Trent..Version: 3.7.3
✓ No widgetLove using this app on my phone and iMac but no widget for iPad which is disappointing - really how I use it.Version: 3.15.17
✓ Things 3 is Aesthetically Beautiful, only.I have attempted to use Things 3 more than once, but it is really not useful at all, at least for me (A STEM graduate student who uses an iPhone and iPad, along Windows and Linux). My only complaint I have about Things 3 is that they are strictly within the Apple Ecosystem. This forces it to be limited to only those who can afford getting the trio of iPhone, iPad, and Macbook/Mac. That is an issue: graduate students such as myself are not capable of affording getting a macbook (heck, we can barely even afford to eat). Having at least a web alternative (I am not even talking about a Windows native app) would have made using Things 3 a dozen times more accessible. But, there is some air of arrogance about Things 3 that they will not provide neither Web nor Windows apps. This is a disservice especially since they require you to buy a "Things 3 for iPad" in addition to "Things 3 for iPhone" and another one for Macbook. This is just a non-sensical money-milking for an application that is not even integrable with other platforms (that you cannot fully utilize). This is a shortcoming of Things 3 that made it unusable to me, as well as undesirable. Aside from that, Things 3 seems perfect (but my caveat is: don't buy it unless you have a Mac/Macbook along with the iPhone/iPad). For those of you who are curious about what I am doing: I spent a lot of time trying different tools (Notion, Taskade, Todoist, GTD Spreadsheets, Nirvana, Jira, etc). I ended up with one called TickTick, which seemed to cater to my ADHD best as it segregates Calendar and Habits; which kinda makes it a different animal..Version: 3.16.5
✓ Almost thereWithout a doubt, Things 3 has totally changed how I deal with priorities. The link from email is crucial in realising this aim, because it reduces clutter to the point that “Inbox Zero” can be achieved and, importantly, maintained. But, some simple “things” are missing, like being able to sort the Today list in Deadline order. Kind of obvious and would negate the need for me to sort it manually. Frustrating. MJ.Version: 3.5.2
✓ Nice app, but NO windows accessHi all, I paid the rather hefty price (once for iPad and another for iPhone) based on the reviews but sadly, I didn’t do enough research because there doesn’t seem to be any way of accessing the data on a windows machine - not even a web based version. I’ve been using wunderlist for a long time and unfortunately think I’ll have to go back and just accept the waste of money I spent on these two versions of things. Beware, if your company uses windows machines, do your research before buying this app..Version: 3.8.5
✓ Totally DissatisfiedHard to believe this app has such high ratings. When I try to change a repeating event it creates a duplicate. The date & time function kind of sucks. The syncing is so so. There just are not any outstanding features for that kind of money. Plus it’s one of the many apps that you have to setup a login. There’s no trail app so you can see what you’re getting before you buy. Found an app for half the price that blows this one away. Free trial, no login and iCloud sync. Way more features than Things 3. What a ripoff..Version: 3.12.6
✓ Good app, but expensive upgradeThe app is good, but disappointing that to upgrade you now need to pay twice for same app on iPad and iPhone, and cannot sync with older version, so trapped into upgrading across both for higher cost..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Needs collaboration option to be really greatHave used things for years and it’s a great app but without collaboration it will only ever go so far. I have to use other apps like Todoist and grocery just to manage daily life with my partner. For the price you have to pay for each ecosystem - this is an extremely expensive app for what you get. Collaboration and shared projects would make this app worth it and it’s disappointing that this enhancement still hasn’t been launched..Version: 3.13.11
✓ Can’t complete repeating to-dos, horrible for school or as a replacement calendarThis has apparently been a requested feature for over a year now, I seriously can’t imagine how difficult it would be to integrate? Without this feature I am unable to complete repeating homework assignments, repeating quizzes, labs etc. For those who don’t have the app, it means the entire function of a ‘to-do’ list is nullified only for repeating actions. Instead, you basically just get a label like ‘MATH Quiz’, that repeats on shows up Wednesdays that you can’t interact with in any way other than deleting all the repeating tasks at once. Unlike a normal task, you can’t tap to complete it. It just sits there. Additionally, the ‘Upcoming’ calendar-like view is atrocious, especially if you have daily classes imported from Calendar. Without screenshots, imagine the ‘Day’ tab on the factory Calendar app on iOS but it’s an infinite scroll. No week, month or year view. Don’t use this thing as a substitute for a proper calendar you will be horribly disappointed. Tl;dr: If you’re going to use this app for your schoolwork or as a calendar, don’t..Version: 3.13.8
✓ Things has lost its FunctionI have used the app for nearly 10 years. Every version gets worse. It has lost its capability to delegate and that is the best function. Oh well another good app relegated to the trash bin..Version: 3.13.8
✓ Privacy etcTurns out I wasted money buying this and the iPhone version. I don't want to create an account on the developers' website to sync across devices. I'll be deleting and requesting a refund from Apple. So disappointed. This was such a promising app..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Good app, absurd pricing strategyThings 3 works well for me and it’s probably the leading app in this category on iOS. I just can’t believe I paid for the same app 3 times (iPad, iPhone, and Mac). It’s way too expensive for a simple todo app, especially when you have to purchase it again on your other devices..Version: 3.5.1
✓ I say be careful about this one.I own the iPhone and iPad version. The authors have decided on a very particular way of operating which I suspect you will fit in with or not and not much in between. I don’t like it, because, as I began to use Things 3, I learned more about what I want out of an organiser app like this and I was frustrated by the lack of flexibility. I got the impression from the developer website that a lot of functionality was deliberately removed to fit in with the Things 3 vision, and I felt uncomfortable with the tone of their comments in general. I think they lost sight of the reality of other people’s thinking outside their own company. I will keep an eye out in case this is a case of alienating enough of the consumer base to return “missing” features in future updates, but it’s time for me to cut my losses and look elsewhere for now..Version: 3.4
✓ Things 3A great app spoiled by two things: 1. When in a ‘project’ view only, you can’t see any reference to the ‘area’ it’s part of. Mightn’t sound much of a problem but once you’ve got lots of areas and lots of projects in them, it can be a real issue. This would be a simple fix. Hope Things 3 can attend to it. 2. When using my laptop version, as distinct from my device version, it seems really clunky that double clicks are needed .. unless I’m missing something. But if this is the case, again doesn’t seem much, but really takes away from what would be a much smoother use of the app..Version: 3.13.6
