Things 3 for iPad for Positive User Reviews

Superb upgrade. Good to great!The new version of Things incorporates excellent new functions like tick-box checklists, a new look, and a more intuitive feel. A first-class upgrade for an already good product. Fine work!.Version: 3.0.2

ExcellentI work in a complex sales environment, financial data, with so many moving parts it’s not even funny. Been struggling with the need to view the same topics through different lenses ie. today’s to do list, actions versus opportunities..different partners etc (searching on tags has sorted that) Things 3 has the right amount of depth and flexibility, sub topic and sub list capability etc... but not so much that I get carried away and spend more time curating my actions and changing colours etc than I spend actioning them. Within 3 days this has started to make a significant difference to how organised and in control of the job I feel.. thoroughly recommend it.Version: 3.9.4

Still and always the best!Most modern and best implementation of new os features. Full integration among devices. Siri, Widgets, Scribble, Watch Complications. ❤️ Single buy/subscription option (I have them all so I expect special offer with 2 years all premium subs at least ;-) comes soon I hope. Maybe headings in Areas and simple lists (in addition to Projects but without progress) would be nice addition to clarity.. but in any case it is lovely, simple and efficient tool. The best for managing the tasks and personal projects..Version: 3.13.5

Best in class.Period..Version: 3.2.1

Meet thingsWell, this is really helping me organise and get my business priorities done during lockdown. I had used Things years ago in a different job. I’m now running my own business and I have found this new version really helpful. It is easy and intuitive to use and I would recommend everyone go the the “Meet things” section when first getting the app - or after a week or so. There are many little nuggets in there. The app itself is a joy to use. I use it as a planning tool as well as a to-do list. Highly recommended. The best To-Do app I’ve used as I’m using it - many of the others I’ve had have fallen by the wayside. Great job on the design and function of Things guys!.Version: 3.12.4

Please revamp the task repeating systemThings 3 is the best to-do list app that I have used so far, but personally, I think that the UI and process of setting a task to repeat itself is too complicated and I do think it needs a revamp to make it easier to understand. Also, having an icon that said that this task is repeating is good enough, I don’t need to see another copy of that same task on the same list, it makes the list very cluttered especially if you have a lot of repeating tasks. While some may like that, I personally don’t so an option to display the upcoming repeating tasks (I’m not referring to the option to hide later tasks) would be appreciated..Version: 3.15.19

Super duperGreat app with nice design and easy to use..Version: 3.2.3

Best daily driverI have used a number of todo list apps and it is annoying to have to buy things in all devices. However if you’re fully in the ecosystem it’s the best offering imo by far. I use Notion for Second brain and Things as a daily driver has been absolutely top tier. I work a full time job, part time consultant job, and run a few businesses and it makes managing my day and tasks super streamlined. The calendar integration is non-intrusive but easily visible which has been clutch. I do wish it did a time sensitive warning for meetings and stuff 5 mins before but if I’m honest I could just set reminders on my calendar for it. overall excellent value for me..Version: 3.15.18

Best Design EverI used to write everything by hand, having tried every to do app and thinking they were all worthless (including Things 2). Things 3, however, is amazing. Not only does it fit into my existing workflow, it has made me more meaningfully productive than ever before. This app will pay for itself for most people, just in terms of additional things you will get done. It’s that flawless. Sure, there are areas that will be improved over time. But the crux of the app is perfect, and I did not believe such perfection could exist. My only negative comment is that drag and drop could be improved slightly. Why can’t you drag and drop a task to a new project? Makes no sense..Version: 3.3.2

Really Great AppMy only recommendation would be to have the ability to build (or have pre-built) a shortcut that lets us have Siri read off to-dos (ex. Siri, what do I have to do today? Response: “You have 2 to-dos remaining, email Zahra to ask for her login, and call your friends to save them from crippling loneliness during COVID isolation”. An Alexa skill and IFTTT integration would also be nice..Version: 3.12.1

I keep coming back to ThingsOver the years I get swayed by all the shiny things, but when I actually need to get stuff done I come back to Things. Just picked up the iPad version and I’m wondering why I didn’t get this sooner. Worth the $$$.Version: 3.16.5

Amazing but for one thingThis is by far the best reminder, list and planning app I have ever used. I would recommend it to everyone but for one thing. The price, having to buy it once for the iPad and then again for the iPhone is not good. Plus the iPad price is exorbitant. It's a terrible shame because I love the app. Anyone that buys it won't be disappointed but you have to get past that price point..Version: 3.4.2

No ways to automatically sort lists!I love this app but there is still no way to automatically sort lists. It’s hard for me to comprehend how this *award-winning* organization app, still has no automatic way to sort lists. For example, If I had a long list of places I wanted to go to, or activity’s I wanted to do over the summer, It would be a tonna help just to sort them alphabetically. But unfortunately this app doesn’t even have alphabetical sorting! let alone a numerical or date sorting. Many other free apps like this do, and it’s not a complex or a technically hard feature to implement either, its one of the most basic things a computer can do, sort lists. Which is why you’d expect that this *award-winning* app would have something like that by now… Since I mean, it’s been 10 years. Don’t get me wrong, I still love this *award-winning* app, but if you could add automatic sorting to lists, then I’d bring my rating up from a 4 star to a 5 star. Thank you..Version: 3.15.11

WORTH IT!Amazing app. Super clean interface, and easy to use. Definitely worth the money!.Version: 3.8.4

Best GTD app, one small suggestionEveryone has done a great job explaining why it is the best GTD app for task management, so there’s no need for me to reiterate on that :D But there’s one small thing that would make it perfect for me—being able to log individual task, rather than logging everything at once. There are certain tasks that completed may need a “inspection” time to be fully determined whether it is actually completed or not, such the time between finishing a work and submitting the work. I have been using “log completed” for this purpose, but it’s frustrating to know that you can only log everything at once. A easy fix would be adding a toggle in general setting that allows certain users to be able to log tasks individually, and leave other users still be able to log everything at once. Would very much appreciated if the developers could adapt this! 🙏.Version: 3.15.15

Amazing!!!!I’ve tried almost every todo app that is out there! I decided to try Things 3 for a month and I’ve never looked back. If you’re in the Apple ecosystem this is your todo app without a doubt. The subtle animations, easy-on-the-eye icons, ease of use and iPad shortcuts (when using an external keyboard) simply kick all of the other apps of this kind out of the water! There aren’t many apps that I would say this about but Things 3 makes me want to use it! I’ll admit to the fact I sometimes look for excuses just to open it up and fiddle about with my tasks! It is an expensive app, granted. It’s also worth every single penny!.Version: 3.8.7

Best app of it kindThis app is amazing for several reasons, and I will list a few based on the 4 days I’ve had this. Firstly, its a one time purchase only. Do you have to pay for the different versions across platforms? Yes. But I would rather do that than have some subscription model app doing the same thing. So kudos to Things 3 for keeping it one time purchase only. The app itself is super intuitive. I went into this thinking I would not use the app, as I don’t use my calendar at all. But Things 3 does such a good job at merging and organizing to-do lists, projects, and calendars that I now have my daily planning sessions. Additionally, the tutorial is in list form, which if you’re considering getting this app, you are already inclined to complete and check off. The best part is that if you forget parts of the tutorial, the logbook function can be easily accessed to look back at a specific tutorial section. I have yet to realize the full potential of this app for my work flow, but I am already much more productive thanks to this app’s ability to merge to do lists and calendars. If you’re debating this purchase, let me encourage you to take the plunge. At worst you wont have to switch between your to do app and calendar app anymore, and at best you’ll end up automating another aspect of your workflow..Version: 3.12.5

Fantastic app, with one huge BUTI’ve been using Things for many years and it still runs my life today. It works brilliantly, online or offline, syncing perfectly between devices when they come back online. Simple, yet powerful. The only disappointment is that collaboration STILL hasn’t been developed. This is the huge missing feature that would turn Things into the No1 essential app for so many, who need the collaboration features offered by so many (lesser) task managers. But for those who don’t care about collaboration, Things is the best there is..Version: 3.17.2

Amazing but expensiveHands down the best to do app but investing into the Things ecosystem is costly, requiring three separate purchases for iPad, iPhone, and Mac..Version: 3.0.3

Missing featuresHi, I would like to suggest some features, which I find very helpful. First, I would like to have more information on each notification, like project, due date, tag, time,… Right now each notification only has one single line and it says the name but I know from other apps that there can be put more information into each notification so that I don’t have to open the app that often. Second, I don’t like the repeat feature with deadlines. It would be better to set a recurring event (every month) with the same recurring deadline (every last day of the month). Right now its limited to a reminder 14 days before the deadline which is not fulfilling the purpose. Third, I would like to have duration for each task so that I can plan them with my calendar accordingly. Fourth, I would like to have location based reminders, so that I get a reminder each time I am either arriving or leaving a location..Version: 3.16.4

Repeating tasks could use improvementDeveloper responded to my previous review, but I don’t think I can edit it. The issue with repeating tasks is that I can’t go in the future and tick it off before I’ve had it start showing up as a to- do item, which can be up to two weeks in advance. What I really want is for my bill to pop into my to-do items about a week before they’re due, but be able to preemptively check off an instance of a repeating task much farther in advance. My credit card statement comes in the 25th, with payment not due until the 15th of next month. I don’t need to be nagged for three weeks, but I’d like to be able to record that it’s paid if it do it far before the due date. I’m working around this with non-repeating items for bills instead, and when I pay one I reassign the date out to the next month instead of checking it off. Not great but it gets the job done. Just don’t forget and mark a bill completed instead, or you won’t have it on your tasks next month..Version: 3.8.2

Exactly what I was looking for!I’ve been on the hunt for a good to do app for a while and I think I finally found it. I’ve always been more of a physical planner type of person, but as I’ve gotten older it has started to not work for me. I was unsure about paying $20 for an app I’ve never used before but I’ve bought countless planners only to throw them aside. My favorite productivity YouTuber (Kalyn Nicholson) mentioned this app and it was exactly what I needed! It has never shown up on my radar for some reason! I just finished the tutorial and I am so excited to get everything started, it will be so perfect for school and just my life in general. I don’t know the nitty gritty so I can’t comment on that but it is the best I’ve tried so far. I HIGHLY recommend and desire your guys to make a note taking app. I would buy it in a heartbeat and be so happy if it was as fluid as this app. Either way, I feel like I finally finished my last preparation for grad school!.Version: 3.8.2

5 Stars for a ReasonAmazing app and design, fully integrated with the Shortcuts app. Fast easy to add new tasks. High frequency of updates also make this one a winner for me..Version: 3.15.1

TOTALLY AMAZINGI looked for a good app to get thing’s done and this one does what it promises. SOLID 5 STARS.Version: 3.14.2

Great Functionality and Clean AestheticThings truly shines once you get into the nitty-gritty of it. It’s a great app for those who only use the Apple ecosystem. Though, it also means that if you get used to Things, it is yet another anchor that will keep you from ever switching, so consider this if you switch ecosystems somewhat often. I have noticed sometimes that my Magic keyboard would stop functioning properly (it would only respond to Enter and a few other keys but almost none of the shortcuts) and would only come back to normal after I reopen the app. I don’t know how replicable this is since I wasn’t able to identify the trigger..Version: 3.15.20

Initially sour about repurchasing - now a convertWas very reluctant about repurchasing Things. I initially bought it back in 2010, and never really ended up using it. At the time, I only had an iPhone and Mac. The experience was pretty mixed. A few very nerdy friends had recommended it as a life planner and it never really stuck. Things 3 is an entirely different experience. It fulfils the promise of Things 1, with a clean yet deep UI and deep functionality. On an ideological note- I’m a firm believer that software should be either free or a single purchase. It’s refreshing to be able to pay a per-device purchase cost scaled to the relative value of the device rather than a subscription. Full credit to the devs for their pricing structure. To anyone reading- $35 NZ may sound like a lot of money for productivity software. Things 3 is _absolutely_ worth it. I’m old enough to remember when this is what software cost. Maybe I’m nostalgic, but this price seems to adequately reflect the attendant development hours and quality. Things will save you that money in stress and organisation within the month..Version: 3.15.16

Mac version a step too farHits the sweet spot for me, just enough features but not so complex it becomes unmanageable. I like the clean interface too. Quite expensive having to fork out for both iPad and iPhone which then becomes ridiculous at £48 if you want it for Mac too! Will be doing without a task manager for Mac and if that becomes difficult I’ll switch to another app. Come on Things3 £48!!!.Version: 3.5.2

Better than everMuch better able to focus on what you have to do than when using OmniFocus. The interface is so slick, it disappears and there is nothing between you and what you have to do..Version: 3.4.2

Things 3 Helped Me Through CollegeAbout two years ago during my Freshman year, I was struggling with finding a good way to organize my tasks and my HW for the week. Being diagnosed with severe ADHD/mental organizational structuring, I was so happy when I came upon this app. The easy and simple layout, having the ability to organize certain tasks into projects, and keeping projects active through each term has helped me keep track of each assignment for a given class. What also made this app a keeper is its cloud service, allowing me to use the app on different devices and having everything always up to date. It’s allowed me to rest easy at night knowing exactly what I have to do tomorrow, or even two weeks from now. While I understand the price of this app is so high is due to the lack of a monthly based subscription, it still feels like a you’re paying a LOT if you want the app on all your devices. Definitely buy the iPad or the Mac OS app if there’s a sale. Thank you for continuing to offer such a wonderful service, that I will continue to use even now as a college graduate..Version: 3.12.3

Perfect Interface but No CollaborationThings 3 has by far the best interface of all task managers I have ever tried. The way you can get anywhere with the minimum number of clicks, providing just the right amount of information is ingenious. Everything is very intuitive, and Things has a real knack of pre-emptying what you are trying to do. Loses one star for the complete lack of collaboration options. All projects are already on the Things Cloud, so surely it is not rocket science to make a project accessible & syncing with more than one user...?!.Version: 3.6.1

Tried Omnifocus, came back to ThingsI was a longtime user of Things 2. However, the developer took an extraordinarily long time between releases. During that time I switched to Omnifocus 2. Omnifocus is not a bad product at all however, it does take a significant commitment of time and effort to learn. Recently, Omnifocus 3 for iOS was released and I upgraded. It is more complicated and less useful that OF2. Not a good thing for a product. After a few completely frustrating experiences, I decided to go back to Things and upgraded to version 3. What a wonderful product. It was so simple to learn the first time and simple to learn the upgrade. It does everything I need well and I use it for many different areas and projects. As others have noted, it would be nice to have a mass edit function but, this is no deal breaker. I am so happy to be back in the fold. I highly recommend..Version: 3.6

Good App: one suggestionI’ve been using this app a lot over the last few years and it works very well and it’s very flexible. I only have a little suggestion for developers: would be helpful to have for all new tasks the date of creation and date of last modification. Keep it up! Great job..Version: 3.18.1

Helped me through a tough timeI’d already been a regular user of Things for a while, but it took on a whole new importance when my mother was hospitalised for several weeks (she’s OK!). I needed to take over looking after her home and doing her shopping, laundry, etc, while still dealing with my own stuff, and visiting the hospital every evening (a two-hour round trip). It was also my busiest time at work, so rather than taking time off, I was having to work overtime; plus, I was the only point of contact for many friends and family who wanted daily updates on how my mother was doing. Constantly having new tasks fired at me by every part of the above, there’s no way I could have kept track without Things. Many jobs would have been overlooked if I hadn’t been able to quickly throw them into the Inbox for later prioritisation. Even though I was hugely busy and stressed, Things gave me confidence that it would store tasks for me, so I didn’t have to remember everything and could focus on what needed doing right away. I now recommend it to everybody. I gifted it to a couple of people who were dubious about the price, and they paid me back once they realised its value..Version: 3.14.1

Excellent minimalist design but missing useful capabilitiesI like Things. It was my go to app for a long time, despite the very infrequent updates. I like how things organizes tasks into both areas and projects, reflecting that aspect of David Allen’s GTD method. I think the way it displays headings, notes (for both projects and tasks), and subtasks makes the most sense out of all the major task list options out there. Finally, Things is not a subscription service, something I greatly appreciate. What makes me struggle with Things is that it doesn’t use smart filters, so, say, I could have an ad hoc task list based on priority or other characteristic (for example, I tag my tasks based on how much energy and focus they require). Things also doesn’t organize based on tags very well. Instead of allowing you to just select a tag and see all tasks with that tag, you have to use the search function... which, for some reason, won’t show tasks with _no_ tag. On the one hand, I would like this sort of functionality. On the other, I would not want Things to become a subscription service to get there. It’s a real catch-22..Version: 3.11

Naturally intuitive ToDoThe only todo app that I can honestly say is so naturally intuitive and very quickly becomes an extension of how to get things done. Thank you to the developers, love what you have created..Version: 3.0.3

The best productivity appThis app is so well-thought-out and user friendly. It has some features that similar apps don’t have that make it easier to navigate the app and shortcuts to make it less tedious. I love that it’s robust, syncs with Calendar, Apple Watch, and Mac. I’ve never had any technical issues with it. When you first download it, there’s a project preloaded that’s a tutorial that teaches you how to use the app and explains all the features, and I highly recommend going through each step to learn everything it can do. A lot of the features aren’t that intuitive, and you won’t figure out they’re there without being taught. When I first got the app, I skipped the tutorial and missed out on a lot of cool features that could have made my life easier. Then a year later I went back and did the tutorial and found out there was all this stuff I didn’t know about, and I was doing some things the hard way. I’ve tried almost every productivity app there is, because I’m an app geek. I always end up coming back to this one because it’s simply the best. Well worth the money. I think I’ve spent $100 to get it on my iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and don’t regret it at all..Version: 3.13.8

Great update!Have tried many different task managers and keep coming back to Things. This new version is the best yet..Version: 3.1.3

Great, but separate purchases for iPad, iMac and iPhone is frustratingGreat app, simple to use with a simple but very effective layout. Since installing this I have used it extensively. Easy to set and edit tasks, with nice drag and drop functions. However, while I acknowledge the cloud sync option the fact that you need to purchase the app for each device for true sync (macOS, iPad and iPhone) is frustrating. Ideally I would use my iPad to create my tasks, and then transfer to my iPhone when out, shopping, at work etc to tick them off. In the end I had to make a decision which to go for as I was not prepared to purchase 2 different products. While I understand why there is a more expensive macOS option (as this is likely to be used by businesses for commercial purposes) , a sync between iPad and iPhone on a single purchase really isn’t too much too ask, is it? For a such a simple and user friendly app this lack of option surprised me, which is the singe reason I awarded 4 stars rather than the 5. In future version, an attachment option would also be a very useful addition..Version: 3.10.4

I use it every dayA crucial part of my workflow - Things is my brain, stored safely outside of my brain..Version: 3.0.2

Best task manager out there!This App is perfect in so many ways, would be lost without it! Not only is it easy to use, it helps me plan, remember and organise all that needs to be done. I use Siri and my iWatch to add things as soon as I think of them, and also get all the reminders I need! The only thing missing for me now to be able to ditch all other task managers, is the ability to insert pics into the ‘notes’ section of a ‘to-do’. Loving the constant updates and improvements you work so hard on, a big big thank you from me!.Version: 3.14.2

De-Clutter Your MindIt’s been a very very long time since I’ve written an app review, but I am compelled to write this one out of love for this piece of software. It quite frankly has been life changing for me in both organizing my life and building good habits. The UI, is inviting, simple and elegant, and it’s foundation of GTD methods has been very effective for me. I initially hesitated about the price tag, but I’ve over time slowly acquired the whole suite (iPhone, iPad and desktop) as I just can’t live without it anymore. Rapidly becoming my favorite app on my phone/iPad. Keep up the good work CulturedCode!.Version: 3.13.4

5 stars No subscriptionGreat app on right track. With no subscription support all the way. Already purchased ios, ipados ang macos for 150$..Version: 3.13.7

The bestThings is a brilliant app and I’ve been using it since 2009. It looks good and it is easy to use whether your needs are complicated or simple..Version: 3.15.12

The best for GTDI am a hardcore GTD user. I had settled I with the context base SmartyTask program before it was abandoned by the developers. I looked at Wunderlist, which I liked, and then ToDoist. ToDoist had many features I liked, but I never felt comfortable with my GTD setup. I found my way to Nirvana which was the best app for the GTD setup until I tried Things 3. Things 3 is elegant, simple and reliable. I don’t have to tinker with the app. The only shortcoming are that it doesn’t have a built in waiting for list and there is no windows app. I use a pc running Windows for most of my work. I use Thing 3 on my iPhone and iPad. But despite these shortcoming, I am happy with its simplicity, elegance and power. Highly recommend it to folks who work from the GTD methodology and haven’t found ‘that’ app yet..Version: 3.4

Why still waiting?Have always loved this app. However, I’ve always been on the look out for you guys to add the ability to add files, and be way more friendlier when using “Share” on other apps. OF is too clunky, and way too robust for the average human, but having the ability to add files attached to projects. I’m certain you guys are working on this, being that there is so much attention to detail. I truly hope so, because I would like to remain. Other developers are nipping, but catch match the quality, UI, and overall experience. And another wishful request would be to make the Watch app, more usable. Seeing Today is nice, but would love to access a little more. Also adding task from Watch is too limited, without access to put in proper place. Anyways, great app, makes you yearn for even better, especially when lesser apps have maximized in these areas..Version: 3.13.4

Amazing appThe time I’ve used it so far has been amazing. I would only suggest an option to add images (not links) to the notes (some of us are very visual!). Also, if not only with reminders but being able to set times in apple calendar to do some to-dos, this will help a lot to have an organised day. The rest is awesome!.Version: 3.13.7

Really like the usabilityI really like the user experience for this interface. Much improved over things two. I do wish a couple of things, one that it wasn't quite so expensive. And also that the information was stored in my icloud..Version: 3.2.3

Just excellent. The first time I’ve felt somewhat organisedThe care that’s gone into this family of apps puts them so far ahead of Things’ competitors that returning to one of them feels somewhat bleak. Apple Reminders is the only app that can mostly hold its own, but even Apple’s own developers haven’t managed to create as pleasant an app. For example, iPad’s side-by-side mode is supported in Apple Reminders, but that app duplicates much information in both windows. Other competitors don’t seem to even know what side-by-side is. It’s just all very pleasant and easy to use and I wish I’d found it earlier. You’ll still need to put care into not ‘overloading’ Things with your tasks, the same as any other system. If you feel comfortable and then you add some stuff and it gets out of hand, just revert the experiment and return to what you were doing before. Even Things’ one-off pricing feels almost like a UI decision, ticking off one extra thing to remember thing from your mind. (Ok, that’s probably optimistic.).Version: 3.13.7

Very, very worth $20This app is great. You might think, “gee, how good can a to-do list app be?” Or “Is a to-do app really worth $20?” Well, after searching endlessly for functional, yet accessible life-organizer, this is it. I love this app. Most planners you purchase at a bookstore cost around $20 or more anyway. The amazing thing about this one is that you get all the awesome updates and you only have to purchase it once! Support these awesome developers and get this app! Although I would like to make a request! How about being able to add images into the Notes section of a task? Sounds like a good idea to me!.Version: 3.13.5

Look no further to get things done!The interface is a dream! In the first 10 minutes I experienced a relief like no other when I just poured my ideas out into the app and then came back and went through them later. It only took me about 20 minutes to go through 30 ideas and organize them. What is amazing is I usually get stressed out when I go to organize things (as organization is not one of my strong skills) but Things for iPad made it fun! I like fun!.Version: 3.8.2

Nice looking interface but limited viewsThings is very attractive. However, it really has very limited view capability and I find that critical. For fast task creation it’s great but for more complex projects with tasks the limited views present a problem in detailing with complicated scenarios..Version: 3.8.5

You can (almost) manage your life with Things.One year ago, I entered college devoid any task management system except the stock app Reminders. I was something of a mess — but, after a few missed auditions and forgotten assignments, I invested in Things. My year greatly improved. Things is a system you can trust. It’s saved me more than a few times, and the applications (especially the Mac app) are a joy to use and quite powerful. That said, there are a few areas in which a things lags behind the competition which you should know about before committing to the hefty price tag. 1. It has no support for recurring tasks. If I’d like to be reminded of something every second Tuesday, I just have to hope that I remember (or fall back upon some inelegant calendar solution). 2. I love that Things has an Apple Watch app - but it’s really ugly - and if you accidentally mark something as completed (say, a grocery list) it vanishes into oblivion, so far as the Watch is concerned, and leaves you wondering what it was you needed to buy. If Things addressed some of these concerns, I would happily give them a fifth star. But even as is, I thoroughly recommend Things to those seeking a robust imposter of order..Version: 3.9.6

Go to organizational+ task management appHonestly love this app! I got hooked on it when I was on the iPhone! Very smooth UI and lots of ways to organize based on your preference. Also the more apple products you have the the easier it is to multiply your productivity! Got an iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Paid for itself many times with timely reminders!.Version: 3.3

The Gold StandardWhen it comes to iOS app design and feature integration, Things 3 sets a very high standard. It’s a bit expensive for all three apps but you won’t be disappointed if you decide to make the investment. Can’t wait to see what Cultured Code does next..Version: 3.10.4

It’s the gold standard.Things on iPhone is brilliant, on Mac it’s great, on iPad it feels like the future! Amazing with multitasking, keyboard + trackpad, touch, widgets, shortcuts…just the most compelling iPad app. It feels distinctively the pinnacle of iPad app design. The same as my iPhone ver review: calendar (Fantastical) integration would be great..Version: 3.13.15

Great app, but could be betterI’ve been using things for almost a year now and I love the app. I have it on all of my devices and it helps me keep up with my school work. However I feel as though the app could benefit from having color coding available for different projects. It would make them easier to distinguish between multiple different projects in the today section. Also please update the app icon. The white square has a different rounded shape than the black shape that is outlining it and it just makes the icon look a little off. Other than that its great..Version: 3.13.8

Old School Apple designExcellent product that achieves a minimalist design but still has all the features most need. Highly recommend!.Version: 3.14

Still the cleanest GTD optionThe Sweet Setup, whose opinion I tend to trust, does have OmniFocus as the best GTD tool out there, but in my experience that’s only true if you’re prepared to put a lot of effort into making it work. Things has become more expensive than before, particularly once bought across 3 platforms, but at the end of the day I don’t believe there’s an easier, cleaner, more productive tool out there..Version: 3.2.2

Hits the spot for meI've tried them all but have settled on Things 3. It beautifully allows me to coordinate everything that needs my attention and dishes up tasks and groups of tasks for consideration when needed. I use it in conjunction with Asana and Trello which we use for team projects. As well as Evernote and Dropbox where we hold all of the project reference material and Dropbox Paper where we set out everything we want to share with the client. Things 3 glues the whole system together perfectly..Version: 3.3

Fantastic AppI’m not usually one to write reviews but for this app I thought I had to. This is so intuitive to use and is great for organising work and home life! I love the areas and projects feature and the amount of customisation is fantastic. If I had any suggestions at all, I would love the developers to think about building in a Gantt Chart output of some sort which would be great as a visual reference on projects which are underway etc. and also helpful for updating the boss! However even without this feature, this app is top class and really well put together and researched. Thanks!!.Version: 3.15.18

The solution to feeling overwhelmedThe apps very clean design means it brings structure and reduced how much I usually feel overwhelmed. Love the new mouse functionality!.Version: 3.12.2

FinallyI have been searching for a powerful To-Do app like this for a long time. It is pricey, but well worth it. The three-tier structures (Area -> Projects -> Headings) is exactly what has been lacking in other apps..Version: 3.9.1

Can’t stop using Things 3I’ve been using this app for a number of years and it never fails to please me. Every now and then, I try out another task manager; some can last for a few months before I get fed up with some little quirk and come back to Things, my first love. This app is fantastic, a joy to use and makes it very easy to manage my to-dos and tasks..Version: 3.19.3

LOVE things, wish Watch app was more autonomousThings has transformed my productivity, I absolutely love it. My only wish is that the watch app could be more autonomous and sync with the iPhone is not in bluetooth range. Currently, this doesn’t appear to be the case as I often find stale state on the watch when I leave the iPhone at home and use the iPad app and watch in tandem. Would also be nice if the specific tags applied to items were visible on items on the iPad when in list view not just when you tap on them. Great work tho, this is a killer app..Version: 3.7.4

Brilliant AppDisclaimer: I have only had this app for a week at the time of the review. I purchased this app to try and put some order in my very chaotic work and home life. It has really helped me to focus and to set SMART objectives and targeted goals that are achievable for various projects at work. It also helps coordinate all the different weddings that we are invited too with the dates, rsvp deadlines, gift lists etc. The interface is really easy to use but it does take a bit of getting used to initially as there is a bit of a learning curve. The major downside is that you have to pay separately for the iPhone app (I use this mainly on my iPad Pro). Overall, a great app for organising life, easy to use and seamless integration with icloud..Version: 3.15.17

Had to come back!I started using Things at the beginning but for a while was distracted by new apps as they emerged with seemingly great additions that promised to revolutionise my life. I have tried all the apps out there searching for the ‘one that does it all’, I’ve wasted money and time. I had it all along and I’m so pleased to be back..Version: 3.15.17

Dear lord I spent money on thisWell then, I never thought I’d spend money on a to-do thing, but here I am, because I spent my life forgetting things all the time, and me using post-its or normal memos on my phone were very hit or miss. The most effective thing was to just have an alarm, but such noises aren’t always welcome everywhere. And you know what, this has been working so far. It’s nice that it syncs with calendars, and since I do pay attention to the notifications number on icons, I haven’t missed anything yet. It’s also nice that there’s a log of things I’ve done, since again, I forget things a LOT. So far, it gets full marks from me and I’ve yet to have regrets about dropping money on this. Cheers :).Version: 3.12.8

Terrific update for the best TDL ManagerBeautiful integration of Scibble, Widgets and Complications. Amazing work. A joy to work with everyday..Version: 3.13.1

Mixed feelingUI is improved, looks better that previous version BUT i have to think again if it worth the cost to update all 3 versions- Mac, iPad and iPhone. There are not too much room to update this kind of to-do apps (there shouldn't be). I see many software developers release a 'major update' frequently just to ask more money. I love the developers which follow up their users long term with multiple version up instead of dumping everybody behind by stopping the development of 'old version'..Version: 3.0.2

Good App but Pricey....I love the app, simple and uncluttered. Works as promised and actually helps me in my day. I don’t like the fact that I have to pay separately for the iPad and iPhone and then again on MacOS - there’s no real difference in functionality so there’s no real value in paying more, other than using it across platforms. The sync works well and so far has been flawless. A web app would be useful but is not a major concern..Version: 3.4.2

Best UI DesignBeen using this app for years, the UI is impressive. Sets the benchmark for great UX. Pretty much flawless. Slick, clean and fast. Read GTD or listen to the audio book... then use this app and your life will forever change for the better..Version: 3.13.7

AlmostI have tried so many task management apps and have found this one to reach more of my needs than anyone. Your mileage may vary due to your needs and style of organization. The layout is tremendously brilliant, along with the ease of use. UI is extremely nice and intuitive. Mail to feature is helpful when you don’t have direct access to your iPad. Cons: Checklist items need the option to sort alphabetically and to auto-hide items as checked. A reset to check/uncheck all items would help as well, if you are going to advertise one of the uses for making a grocery list. I carry my iPad with me throughout the day and access Things 3 with it. However, in the evenings, I am on my MacBook and would love to organize with it. However, the Mac version is $50, way too expensive for what you get. Why did you price yourself out of the market with the desktop version? Cut it in half and you would probably have enough sales to make up the difference..Version: 3.3

Perfection.Things 3 is as close to a perfect app as I have seen. The interface is beautiful, the function is logical and easy and smooth and efficient, and it is a joy to use. I have used every version of Things since the beginning, and they knocked it out of the park with this version. I stopped using Things on a daily basis many years ago because their updates were so infrequently, and they were not great listening to their customers requests (at least it seemed that way). I had sort of given them up for dead. However, they were clearly spending a lot of time figuring out how to make this work for everyone. I don’t know anyone that has used this app that doesn’t say this is one of the best apps on their device. My review applies to the iPhone, iPad and Mac apps equally. I wish they had added the ability to share tasks and task lists, as this seems to be the only glaring omission in one of the main benefits of apps like Wunderlist. However, if anything the fact that I am still using Things 3 on a daily basis shows you how great everything else they have done is despite this huge omission (IMHO)..Version: 3.2.3

Great. Love it. Smooth elegant design.Really a step above most software..Version: 3.17.8

Finally a app easy to useI think most developers, even though they are excellent coders, fail to consider their customers use of the product to a large extent, or since their coding mind is so complex they cannot see beyond it. This developer I think can be said to come up with the first todo app that is actually simple to the user and complex in what it can actually do. Yes, many reviews mention it should have this, or it should have that- and they are right. But as it stands, what this app has achieved is tremendous. The developer, in his support, seems to be upgrading this app on a consistent basis and putting in what it needs..Version: 3.6.1

Project Management SimplifiedThis software is not just good from a design perspective, it is virtually flawless in every area of implementation. Simplicity personified by clean UI offering many features without offering them all at once, you find the project grows in importance as it has further need for feature sets. Things isn’t just better than Basecamp et al, because it has never heard of them - therefore it has the kind of simplicity you need without loosing any features. Truly a one of a kind product for UI design. Flawless!.Version: 3.9.6

I love this appClean, judicious level of functionality, reliable reliable reliable. Good job cultured code, 3 is worth upgrade cost, happy for you guys to make a living. Edit: I don’t earn a lot of money so have dallied with cheaper alternatives: native reminders app, Trello, etc. After a period I’ve returned with tail between legs to things. Great work cultured code, will happily part with cash for the upgrade to things 4 (please make attaching documents possible! :) )..Version: 3.12.4

No app lockI love this app, I have it on 4 devices. Totally worth it but I would appreciate a password to access the app, many apps these days have this functionality for privacy. I’m not sure if it is possible with the widgets as they are live but something to think about if you decide to lay out the cost. I’d still say it’s worth it..Version: 3.19.3

Changed my Life.It’s not often that an App changes my professional life, and this one did. I’m a big fan of the GTD method and have used it for most of my career on paper. However, as Ive moved up in the professional world, my work load has grown to the point that I can’t keep up what needs to be done. Things allows me to get it all down and mange my life the way it needs to be done. Ive been able to take on easily an additional 40% of work using this app as my brain (with the MAC OS version as well). IF you think this way, there is nothing better. Nothing. It integrates ok enough with other apps like apple notes and the likes and i have very little negative to say. My system is that THINGS is my last step in my planning process. I use mind mapping apps for my brain storming, Apple notes for my note taking and research and then when I’m ready to create a “plan”, I use things to record what needs to be done by who. It’s worth every darn penny..Version: 3.13.8

Time saving organisational brillianceAs someone who always has a lot to do, this app saves me writing lists every day. More importantly though, it makes tasks easy to reschedule, stops tasks slipping through the net and genuinely helps to reduce stress..Version: 3.3.2

Excellent To Do AppThis is an excellent, versatile App that is clearly designed by those who know what is needed to achieve all your tasks. It is great to be able to import text, emails etc into Things. It takes a little while to learn its full potential, but is quite easy to manage. I enjoy using it. For these reasons I’ve given it 5 stars, but with a few tweaks it could be even more perfect: 1) the ability to make the text larger for older eyes 2) an URGENT symbol as mentioned by another reviewer 3) more prominent reminders which continue to nag you until the task is complete (the DUE App does this perfectly) 4) a way of deleting Logbook entries en masse rather than individually (if there is one, I haven’t found it yet!) Ideally, syncing Things on iPad with iPhone would be good without additional cost, but I have found this worth paying..Version: 3.13.11

Lovely, intuitive interface and real improvements with Things 3I’ve used Things for a few years now, on my iPad Mini, and have always felt the interface, clean and intuitive, was an important factor in my sticking with the App. I wanted to use it. I thought the cost of Things 3, moving from the previous version, was expensive, but the improvements have been, though some have been a long time coming, important. As it happens, I’ve been struggling to stick to Things (My fault.), but am currently making it work for me. It has everything I need..Version: 3.4.3

Brilliant, simply, effectiveThis may be a little premature because I have only been using this app for a few hours, getting to know all of the ins and outs. However, I thought this may be a useful perspective because one thing that people may be looking for in a to-do app is something that is very quick and easy to learn, and this app certainly is. I absolutely love this app so far. It’s beautiful, elegant, and so simply and easy to use, but at the same time it is very powerful. I especially recommend this app if you are using a keyboard with your iPad. The keyboard shortcuts are so incredibly useful. I love being able to use the up and down arrows to go up and down my to-do list. I also like being able to quickly search, all you have to do is just start typing and it searches all of your to-dos/projects. And of course you can quickly mark items as completed with a key shortcut, and many many more keyboard shortcuts. Highly recommend this app!!.Version: 3.7.5

Stunningly good...Perfect balance of simplicity and functionality. Have used Things for years and now it’s even better. Best part is that it flexes according to how busy I am. When life’s easy, it’s a pretty simple list of tasks. When things get complex, Things gets complex too. Couldn’t live without it..Version: 3.2.3

Amazing appThings 3 is one of the best investments I’ve made. It’s super quick and easy to use and learn. Even though its a bit on the pricey end, its still worth every single dollar..Version: 3.14.1

Best To-Do AppI love Things 3 and work in retail, so I recommend it to my customers all the time for it’s versatility, ease of use, and appealing UI. My only complaint is that for recurring tasks, you can’t check them as completed before the due date. For instance, I use Things, amongst other things, to keep track of my bill due dates and just set them as recurring reminders to pay each month by their due date. However, I usually pay bills on pay day, not the due date so I can’t check it off as completed until the due date and by then I’m often left second guessing whether I did it already. I would love to have the option to leave the setup as is AND to be able to choose if I want to check off a recurring task early..Version: 3.7.1

The Best To-Do App For MeIf you’re looking for a great app to help you make lists, organize the process of getting things done, use timetables and set reminders, this is the best app I’ve found. I’m a long-time Wunderlist user and still use that app for some things, particularly shared to-do lists with my wife. But overall, I couldn’t be any happier with Things and its integration across platforms. I use it for my MacBook Pro, my iPad Pro, my iPhone and my Apple Watch. It’s seamless, well designed, and really helps me focus on task creation and makes accomplishing things easier..Version: 3.8.5

Beautiful. Functional. The new gold standard.I've been a user since version 1. I persisted through the waiting years and.. it was worth it! I looks a great. The new functions are intuitive and thoughtful. The full ecosystem is great - Mac + iPhone version alongside the iPad version are each seamlessly connected. Love the new list option, the magic plus button, headings and.. all of it. What a delight to use. Makes everything else look old! Now to get on with being productive. Thanks culturedcode you've out done yourselves. Ps the website explains the new features really well as do the structured training tip projects in the side bar - give them a go to maximise your usage..Version: 3.0.1

Simple to UseI have been a fan of simplicity. Being productive in the technology era has been a bit of a challenge. Apps that do not do what is promised have been the biggest letdown. As a GTD user finding the right app to accomplish daily things was its own challenge. I used several different to-do apps, productivity apps and even paid the big $$$ for Omnifocus all to no avail. Then I purchased this app for a small fee and found myself organized, actively getting things accomplished and using it daily. Simple to use, learn and integrate into to your business/work life. Well done!.Version: 3.10.2

LOVE IT!!! Replacing multiple apps with this ONE! :-)I’ve always had several organization/time mgmt apps — Swipes and Reminders has been my favs for quick hits with ToodleDo and Priority Matrix for more complex projects and nested lists. A bit about me: I’m an iOS user — my work is on a Windows laptop but outside of work I do iPad, iPhone and Watch. I don’t do any personal stuff on a laptop. THINGS 3 DOES IT ALL!! It’s handles quick & easy with a great UI like Swipes (sorry Swipes - you’ve been my fav for quick & easy). It handles complex with simplicity — I’ve setup my complex work project methodology in a project i named “Template” and voila! I can duplicate it anytime i start a new project and MY framework is there. Functions are either under a \/ or ellipsis ... (three dots=more) and are intuitive and easy to find. Love them! :-) CulturedCode team: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! IPad, iPhone and Watch interfaces are all super usable and let’s me think about what I need to get done instead of figuring out how best to use an app. FABULOUS!!!!.Version: 3.9.3

Awesome app!Really complements well different productivity apps like Notion. It is now my to go task management app!.Version: 3.15.8

Loooove iiiiitThings app has been a major improvement on my life . I have one constructive criticism , which is adding the function of being able to add pictures to the to do list , as this would help make researching certain things way easier . Specifically I am currently thinking in the context of a personal dichotomy key for botany. This app has massive potential to expand into something even better than it is in its current form. I am grateful that it exists , and it is worth every penny , especially if you struggle to stay task oriented when it comes to what you want to accomplish in your day to day life . If I could give this app a higher rating I would ..Version: 3.14.1

Super app!J'adore things! L'interface est légère et facile à comprendre. J'ai le TDA et je crois que c'est la meilleure app qui fonctionne avec mon cerveau pour élaborer un plan clair de mes tâches pour la journée! Ma seule critique serait que les gestes et raccourcis ne sont pas toujours évidents puisqu'ils ne reprennent pas ceux du système. Par exemple, on s'attendrait à pouvoir supprimer un élément en le glissant vers la gauche, mais dans Things, cette action va plutôt "sélectionner" l'élément. App en français, un peu coûteuse mais qui vaut le coût!.Version: 3.15.20

SuperbWorth every cent for the upgrade. Latest version a dream to use - I use it every day; never fails....thanks.Version: 3.0.2

Simple and IntuativeI’ve tried a lot of the others and Things is the one I keep coming back to. Clean and logical. Just great!.Version: 3.10.5

Organise Your Streaming On ThingsI have used Things for a few years now mostly for my work and was a little bit annoyed that I could not upgrade my original Things without purchasing it again. However, since I have now retired, I have found this an amazing app to keep a track of my Netflix viewing. I have set up projects of what I have watched, what is in my watchlist, things I have watched and waiting for the next series, things I have watched and have finished, things on my watch list and things I need to investigate further. I have found this to be an amazing tracking app which I would never remember in my head. This is just something I felt I needed to do for myself and thought it might help others? I also use it as my go to app to list all the events for the year ahead so I can see clearly what I need to do, need to be done. I love it and have always loved it. It is a great organiser, clear and concise. I know exactly what I need to do and when. Love the repeat function for annual events and love to see the log book to see what I have done. Worth every penny in my opinion..Version: 3.11.1

Things 3Just started using this App Wish it had been around back in the day It has revolutionised the way I managed my day I have bought so many books on how to get organised, bought so many apps that use more time to manage the app than they save. Simple is good I have Recommend others to use it now and they also have had productivity improvements Possible idea would be have, in the top part of the app near the today entry, that you can enter actions. Reason Say you have in projects a number of procurement items in various projects Then it could be used to consolidate all those items when I’m in a wholesaler and one list Did I mention I love this app.Version: 3.10.10

Excellent, well worth the moneyThis is a well thought out app which balances a useful amount of capabilities with an extremely clean interface. Drag and drop is a delight to use when you need to 'adjust' your schedules and the iPhone/Apple Watch app rounds the package off nicely. Not the cheapest task manager around but the most effective by far for my purposes!.Version: 3.2.5

Great app! Brilliant design!Things 3 is a great app. It is beautiful and thoughtfully designed, with a lot of great features. It is both simple to use and deep, and handles changing circumstances well. The developers have set a strong, sustained pace in adding features that seems both disciplined and graceful. It can be adapted to be used in many ways. I am a big advocate of David Allen and GTD, but you don’t have to know anything about it to Get Things Done with Things. I always feel that Things is working with me to make sure everything is taken care of. It is an insanely great app. Seven stars, at least..Version: 3.11

This is the oneThings is quick, easy to use and has just the right amount of flexibility and power. This app has improved consistently over time, it has always been up there as far as GTD apps go, but since version 3 it has stood head and shoulders over the rest. I use it across all supported devices to manage my life. The best features are the speed of capturing 'Things' without interrupting you, the ease of sorting the things in to actions and projects, and Agendas for overall areas of responsibility. Tagging for contexts is also very useful. If I could add just one thing, it would be a native Windows 10 client so I can run it on my other laptop too. Also I’m very thankful this isn’t on a subscription model like so many other apps are as they tend to over value themselves..Version: 3.12.5

Near Perfect, but printing and sharing output sub-parI have been an avid Things user since its first release. The speed, fluidity and structure of the UI is fantastic and one of the key areas in which Things 3 shines. My only complaint is that unlike previous interactions, the printing and sharing output is surprisingly sub-par. It seems like a quickly-written notepad document at the moment. Even in this age of digital freedom, printing is still a thing and sharing to-dos is something I and I'm sure a lot of other people do..Version: 3.9.3

So satisfying when tasks are completedI’ve got this on my iPad, phone and watch and it is fast replacing the memory that I used to have. I get great satisfaction from deleting finished jobs. I even do jobs that I’d normally ignore just so that I can!.Version: 3.9.7

Almost Gold StandardI rate both the Mac and iPhone versions unequivocally 5 Star. This version is almost there. The iPhone does its own thing whereas this version is very similar, visually, to macOS especially when using the Magic Keyboard and therein lies the problem. In the Mac version a task can be dragged and dropped onto Upcoming in the sidebar to open the date picker. On iPad dragging and dropping doesn’t do anything. First World Problems, yes. But the inconsistency is annoying nevertheless..Version: 3.12.4

Thank YOU!!Simply the best App to keep track & control all THINGS in this crowded world!! And, thank YOU Developer/s for NOT renting your priceless software. I own iPad & iPhone versions!.Version: 3.9.1

Perfect Task Manager But….This is an incredible task manager, but I think it could really benefit from a calendar. Tasks list are great, but so is time management. An in-app calendar can facilitate time management and scheduling with tasks. Given that Things doesn’t continuously sync with Apple Reminders, the closed system prevents any tasks from appearing in any of my calendar apps, and multi tasking between tasks and calendars is too meticulous. I understand that I can view calendar events in Upcoming, but being able to have full control over my day (scheduling, tasks) using only Things 3 and no other calendar/task app, would be amazing. I think an in-app calendar would be incredible :).Version: 3.15.17

The *best* task manager for iOS and macOSThings is an exceptional app for iOS. The iPad app is bar-none the best task manager for iPad. You can use the entire app via keyboard shortcuts. Cultured code did an excellent job with this app!.Version: 3.8.7

Best App possibly all timeGreat for organizing life with a fourth year university schedule..Version: 3.15.13

Missing Collaboration!This is a great app but it is missing the ability to collaborate in real time between family or colleagues. If that was a feature this app would get 5 stars..Version: 3.5.2

Thank you. This app has improved my quality of life.I purchased this and started using it about six months ago. Every morning and throughout the day, I am able to see what needs to be done, and I can check off what has been done knowing I have a nice record of everything I have accomplished in any given day. I use it for work and home. It is nice that I can keep work and home separate, so that on weekends, I don’t have to be constantly reminded of everything I have to do in the upcoming week at work. Nor do I have to worry about whether I will remember to call someone or do something - it is already set up to remind me on any given day. I really enjoy: the projects feature; the repeating ability of the tasks you just have to do every so often; and the ability to move tasks up and down the day’s list depending on the order you choose. I just love this app! The instructions on how to use it could be a little more thorough, however, when I could not figure out how to set up the repeating function for “the first Monday in every month”, I sent an email and had a very helpful reply within 24 hours. Thank you.Version: 3.5.2

Best trash app out thereI have reviewed every app in Apple and windows eco systems And this this the best task app right now for the apples Avi system. Saves to cloud, doesn’t crash, everything you need in an easy to operate system..Version: 3.15.19

Good Support team & communication for fixing issues!Giving 5 stars to appreciate how this team handled an issue that made the app unusable for several days for me. The app was crashing in my iPad since I upgraded to iPadOS 15 and the things app to 3.15. It crashed as soon as I opened it on most days. I’m pretty sure the issue was affecting a small minority of users as I didn’t see this issue mentioned on any of the reviews / social media posts. However, I’m still giving the app 5 starts - for regularly staying in touch with me and following up. It’s good to see a team dedicated to their product and user base like this! Keep it up!.Version: 3.15.6

Awesome app!Absolutely change the way I get work done love it. Would like to see what gets added next to it!.Version: 3.11.5

I was apprehensive ….As there was a cost attached, however I took the plunge. I love the app, still getting used to the nuances of the app but loving it. I love the project areas plus the lists within a todo brilliant to add and add and add to a to do. Not surprised it’s won awards it has lots of pros and very few cons. If you fancy it and are unsure take the plunge you won’t regret it.Version: 3.13.13

So Close to Perfect!This app is great. It really helps you schedule, organize and plan your To-Do’s, your projects and your goals. What I love: If you don’t complete a task, it won’t disappear to the past but it will carry on until the next day, and the next, until you really get it done. What I love less: The user interface is barren. You feel like you’re in a text-only app. Love the app and would love it even more if it was more visual..Version: 3.15.17

BrilliantI have things on all of my Devices and i wouldn’t want to be without it. It’s like my brain on a cloud. Everything I need to organise or am worried about I can put into things until I’m ready to deal with it. I also ask Siri to add to things so I don’t even need to be holding my phone..Version: 3.6.1

Works for meI’ve just started using this wonderful app and already my piles of paper and scraps of notes are diminishing rapidly. I’ve just scratched the surface but am enjoying the clean interface and layout. UPDATE (Sept’19) Worth every penny/cent/euro; better than good. This has improved my life and the more that I learn, the more that I enjoy using this well-crafted software..Version: 3.9.7

I’ve tried them all. This is the best.I’ve tried probably all To Do apps and I keep coming back to Things - it’s intuitive, beautifully built, flexible, not over complicated and does what it needs to do. Definitely worth a one off payment..Version: 3.12.3

Big improvementThings 3 is a game changer for GTD user. Easy to use, you'll spend more time doing things rather then on the apps itself. Worth the money👍👍👍.Version: 3.0.3

Brilliant. Worth the money.Excellent piece of kit, on iPad, iPhone and Mac. Seamless sync, and intuitive interface. Well worth the money for a quality tool..Version: 3.0.3

Hope add more functionsSuch as habit track and build in timer.Version: 3.11.3

Clean, simple, easyThis new version takes everything that was great about the original and makes it easier and more beautiful. A joy to use, and would recommend to anyone looking for a good all-round way to stay organised..Version: 3.1.3

I love this appI’m constantly looking for the perfect todo app, and frustrated that Apple don’t have a way of integrating reminders with calendar and notes. Well I found Things a couple of weeks ago and love it. It’s such a simple design, but it does everything I need. I use it for home and work on Mac, iPad and iPhone. If you hanker for a decent todo app, look no further..Version: 3.2.4

Great but last update messes up IconSince the last update the icon on the task bar now shows multiple overlaid copies on my iPad Pro 10.5”. Shame, because otherwise the updates are really good. It appears OK after a restart of the iPad but after first use the multiple overlays reappear..Version: 3.5.1

Yes to ThingsThings invokes the freshness that the best of the early OSX apps achieved. (I’m an old IIe user) If you are IOS only or moving in that direction this is the todo for you. I have not used the Mac app). This app has kicked my life into shape. It’s ability to import Apples reminders is a game changer for me as well. Invoke Siri add reminder and there it is to be imported in Things. Buy Buy Buy.Version: 3.7.5

Fantastic task/project management toolI enjoy Things so much. I’ve gone back and forth over the years between OmniFocus and Things. Both do an amazing job at task/project input...OmniFocus just is a lot software and Things has always aligned with my way of processing tasks and projects. I would like one feature in the future if possible...when selecting a due date, allow for a time to be added with the date selection. Right now you need to tap the due date, then tap again if you’d like to add a specific reminder time. Overall, I fantastic app! Hoping to see updates throughout this version!.Version: 3.2.2

Long time OmniFocus userI’ve been using OmniFocus for a long time probably 5 years and I abdolutely love it. Then I thought maybe I should give this app a try. The price made me hesitate, especially that there’s no way to try the app for free. Having already paid for the expensive omnifocus 3 was also a factor. However, I’m glad I bought it. Ask the apps across the whole ecosystem are breathtaking, but the iPad one is especially awesome. compared to omnifocus, I like things 3 more because of ease of use (drag and drop works everywhere) making creating and populating projects instant. With such apps, developers tend to bloat the software with features, making the UI confusing. This is clearly things 3 avoids intentionally, it’s one of the best apps I’ve ever used. +useful +Easy +Updated with latest ios/iPad features (plot view, drag and drop, cursor support, keyboard shortcuts) The only advantage omnifocus has over things is the ability to attach photos to tasks. And i hope things 3 works on this withoutoverwhelming the beautiful simplistic design..Version: 3.12.3

BEST GTD style task tracking appSimple without being basic, allows you to be as complex as needed and gets out of the way when you need it. Intuitive features and workflows, and devs obviously understand and embracing the Apple ecosystem really well..Version: 3.13.16

Top-Rate Organization AppThings 3 has revolutionized my work task and project organization. I love being able to add notes (wish I was able to add formatting to notes!) to items, and the start date / due date functionality and how it helps keep the right tasks in front of me at the right time is unmatched. Plus, this is one of the few task tracking apps out there that actually looks like they put more than 5 minutes into the design and polish. Highly recommend organizing your personal and work life!!.Version: 3.13.11

Updated ReviewAfter waiting so long for Things 3 to be released, initially I was massively underwhelmed feeling Things 3 to be an evolution rather than the revolution we’d been promised. Recently I decided to commit again to Things and I’m really pleased I did. I think perhaps I’d come in expecting too much when, it’s in Thing’s simplicity lies its power, and why I’ve used it from its first incarnation. I have two very minor negative points: This is a truly beautiful looking app save for the green colour used for tags! I don’t need colour coded tags but, I’d at least like the ability to change away from this green! Finally, why I don’t currently give it 5 stars is a lack of location based reminders in IOS. This feels like a really odd omission given how ubiquitous they are these days in other apps. Hopefully this comes in a future update. UPDATE 04/18 - I’ve recently been trying out a beta version of a major Things competitor (you know what app I mean). Like many I’m constantly hoping to find the perfect app however, the more I use Things 3, the more I realise how close to perfect this actually is. Things 3 is a genuinely useful app, looks amazing, and incredibly powerful. I highly recommend this app!.Version: 3.5.1

Excellent app for GTDI have tried a number of different apps for basic projects and lists, however the versatility of Things is by far the best..Version: 3.9.6

An Incredible AppThis app has been indispensable in helping me become more productive helping to facilitate a ton of behavior changes in my work life. Its simplicity truly allows for a calmer and more productive work process. The breadth of features is just the right amount to allow you to reduce complexity, but maintain the depth of your projects. One small thing on my wishlist is that the iPad version had the same tag filtering system as the Mac version. On the iPad version, filtering by tags is multiple taps away which can be very time-consuming if I want to flip back and forth between them. The Mac version has a bar above the tasks with a list of the tags you can click on to switch back and forth quickly. As I don’t own a MacBook and do all of my work on my iPad, I really hope this feature makes it’s way to iPad as tags are currently useless to me now..Version: 3.10.2

Excellent but with a serious failingI have used Things since its inception and Things 3 is a massive advance . But it has one major omission in my view. I appreciate the desire to make the look uncluttered but no longer being able to give entries a clear label showing degree of urgency is a serious step back. I used to be able to make many own customised flags and they showed clearly against each item. Yes you can still make them but all that shows is a generic tiny symbol indicating that there is a flag attached. Before Things 3 the flag would actually show so you could have “ Very Urgent” or “Urgent” clearly showing . Now I have to use a clunky workaround with the today/someday symbol. So we should have at least the option of the flag displaying. Apart from that, its superb..Version: 3.9.2

Needs widgetsI already use Things on my iPhone and bought Things for my iPad as well because it’s such a clean, simple, and useful app however there are no widgets for me to be able to display my tasks on my Home Screen. As a Uni student this would be really helpful because being able to see my day at a glance is invaluable. I doubt I’ll remember to go into Things every day to check through my list and want a visual reminder to work through the things I have to do for my coursework and also at my work..Version: 3.16.5

Great App but Missing a Key to its MottoThis app is amazing! The clean look and access to Siri is great. I love how I can 100% rely on this app to tell me everything I have going on that day... including iCalendar events! I am subtracting a star for the sole reason that this app does not have a quick add function. Apple Calendar, todoist, and Siri are able to receive input such as, “Dinner next Friday with Jenny at 5pm” and create an event for the specified app with the date and time already appended. Things 3 does not do this despite its idea to be simple to use. I’d love to see this also incorporated not only with Siri but also in the app screen as well. Overall, this is a great app worth most of my money. Just needs one key element to make it the best for my needs..Version: 3.6.1

Looking good!So far, so good ;).Version: 3.1

Worth it, will be better with tweaks.Great app. Worth the price of upgrading. More drag and drop functionality would make it perfect..Version: 3.0.2

Polished until it’s smooth like a pebbleEvery year I try and move to another task manager because I need some other feature - ifttt sync or web access or something - but I always come back to Things because it is so lovingly polished and frictionless. Yes I wish it had some of those other bits but at the same time I appreciate the devs for their focus..Version: 3.16.5

Brilliant againThis app is simple and straightforward to use and one of my most used applications. It helps me take control of all that I need to get done. Personally I think the design is delightful..Version: 3.0.2

Moved from V2 to V3I love the update, was a long time coming, but worth the wait..Version: 3.1

Beautifully IntuitiveI put off buying this app for years as I had all the others. So glad I gave in. It does everything I need it to do, no more no less..Version: 3.12.4

Beautiful, uncluttered, functional and full featuredI always liked things but it lacked functionality. Version 3 changes all that. For a few years I struggled with omnifocus as it offered the functionality I needed but was like a maze to navigate with too much visual clutter imho. Things 3 is a pleasure to use and look at, very clean interface with plenty of sophistication..Version: 3.0.3

Great app but priceyI love this app. It has helped me stay on task at work and at home. I love the recurring events most. Take some time to set your life up into this app and it’s wondrous what you can accomplish. My only negative is the cost. I purchased for iPad and I’d love to have it on my iPhone too but I just don’t think I can justify the cost of both apps..Version: 3.6.2

Version 3.13.12: bug report + my fave to-do app + how to make it betterBUG: When the iPad is dropped an “Undo Changes” dialogue box shows up. Please fix. NOTE: this review is about the iPad-only app. PROS: The people who rave about how terrific it looks are right - it has a clean and simple design that works. The plus button is a joy to use - being able to drag it to where I want to insert a task is the sort of user-friendly feature that Apple users will like. I like how dragging the plus button to the bottom-left allows you to quickly add a task to the Inbox, so that the task doesn’t get lost in whatever checklist you happen to be on. Lots of options: tags, reminders, repeats, due dates, deadlines… You can even add a checklist to a task that’s in a checklist. I keep it simple, but if you want it complicated, this app can handle it. The syncing function (called “Things Cloud”) is very fast - every device is synced within a few seconds. I like the headlines feature - it’s a great way to split up a checklist into sections and make it much easier to navigate. The Dark Theme is easy on the eyes - every app should have this option. The order of checklists syncs, so that you only have to change the order once, instead of for all devices. The search function works fast and is available from every screen, not just the home screen. HOW TO MAKE IT BETTER: Add the option to sort tasks alphabetically. Add the option to pin tasks to the top of the checklist. Remove the save button - it should save everything automatically. If a task is created but it contains nothing, it should automatically be deleted. Support Dynamic Type (in Settings) so that we increase the size of the text. When moving a task, the second option is “No Project” - that should be renamed “Anytime” because that’s where it goes. Add the option to undo actions. In Settings-Things Cloud there is an option called “Edit Account” - but the only options are change password and delete account. Change the option to “Change Password/Delete Account” so that we don’t have to sign in to know this. Add the option to make the search-bar always visible. Add direct syncing with Google Calendar, for those of us who don’t use Apple’s default Calendar app. Tags should be handled better - for example, I should be able to tap on a tag and see all tasks with the same tag. Add the ability to share (for example, an app’s link from the App Store) to the Things app. If you’re searching two terms, they have to be in the same order for results to show up. Make it so that the order doesn’t matter. Add information about the “Things 3 for iPad” app, so we know why we should buy it instead of using the Things 3 iPhone app on the iPad. CONCLUSION: I’ve used several to-do apps, and this is my favourite of them all. It just needs a few tweaks. If you liked this review, please long-press it and mark it as “helpful.”.Version: 3.13.12

Probably the best appYou have created a near perfect app, in this segment. We are all armchair critics and never satisfied with features but in this case, you have nailed it. We create apps, and even enjoy a good rating but there is a lot to learn from you guys, keeping functionality and simplicity perfectly balanced. Would I add anything, yes I would. If things can make me my morning coffee and find the best shows on Netflix, my life would nearly be complete..Version: 3.8.5

Wow!Have only downloaded this today but am completely impressed with the usability and set up of this app. Such a great way to divide and conquer the never ending list of things to do in your life.. Thank you.. the app I was looking for!!.Version: 3.15.17

I am kinda mad that I did not buy it earlier.After trying several todo apps over the years, I finally broke down and bought Things 3. I am kinda mad that I did not do it earlier. I have used many todo apps over the years but have always ended up with unusable clutter. Separating my lists by app for work and personal did not help much either since that meant having that many more apps on my phone. Each just ended up in a folders like Productivity and Work apps which meant 2 taps to get to an app to see what needed to be done next. Since they did not integrate my calendar I had to check both the todo apps and calendar to see what was going on on a given day. In short, that doesn’t work and I still had the challenge of balancing my home and work responsibilities with just my brain. That is needlessly stressful and every few months I would look for yet another way to solve the problem. I balked at spending even more money on yet another todo app but I had heard good things about Things for years so I finally took the plunge on the iPhone. I transferred all my lists from other apps and deleted them so that Things 3 would have a prominent place on my home screen. Several months in and I love it! One place to see everything including my color coded calendars and now I own it on iPad and Mac! Less stress, so happy!.Version: 3.8.5

FantasticBest to do app in store. Needs functionality to email tasks and attach photos. Aside from that, terrific..Version: 3.0.2

Tout y est!Utilisateur de things depuis plusieurs années, j’ai résisté longtemps à la tentation d’adopter la nouvelle version. (en partie à cause du prix). Aujourd’hui, je regrette de ne pas l’avoir fait avant. Le nouveau Things a vraiment tout ce qu’il faut pour gérer des tâches. Bravo..Version: 3.8.7

Best To Do app lacking essential security/privacy featureWonderful app combines super attractive design and simplicity with almost any kind of level of control you would want in a to-do/planning/reminder type app. However, the Things sync service, while it works great, does not encrypt your data from end to end (as I understand it). This means the data is accessible to Things employees, potential hackers, and any future corporation that might decide to buy the maker of Things. Yes, they do encrypt the data when it is syncing, but they retain the ability do decrypt it. They say only a few employees have access to your data and that they will carefully guard it, but this kind of app has all kinds of sensitive personal and/or work related data - why risk this when there is a better way? Especially for a costly app like Things. Their competitor OmniFocus uses a sync system that encrypts all your data in a manner that prevents these problems. Unfortunately, while a good app, OmnniFocus provides so much power it distracts me from actually getting things done..Version: 3.11.2

*** Makes me most organised award 2018...Okay, so this Things has been around for a while, and I had the old one, and also paid for the newer version as well. New in this version was the how to articles includes. It’s like buying a new car and having the driving instructor teach you how to drive it... It’s got more finesse than the old version, lists, scheduling and titles are the best feature, allowing the visual representation of different things in the same grouping. - I don’t explain it nearly good enough compared to the test drive included... I decided to go all out and include Things on my Mac, and iPhone as well. It’s not necessary as the iPad version now includes shortcuts for an external keyboard... Add syncing to all my devices, and it keeps me on track wherever I look....Version: 3.6

Perfect balance of power and usabilityAs someone who lives inside a Todo app, and has used them all, Things has blown me away. Simple to use and without lots of confusing options (flags! Priorities!), It has the one best idea I haven't seen before - headings. Now projects of tasks can be separated into logical chunks and they can even have a description to help keep you on track. It's only been a few days but within minutes of using it I knew Things would be perfect for me..Version: 3.0.2

My go-to task manager for almost a decadeI’ve been using things since the days of the first iPhone and iPad. I have tried countless todo apps over the years and always co,e back to Things. As a developer, a project manager, and an artist I have used a lot of task tracking and project management methodologies including Agile and scrum and Things still is number one not because it’s a better system than kanban but because it’s easier to stick to. As far as kanban boards versus an app like Things, I would say one needs both. Things is great for both task management and projects but is lacking when it comes to things like attachments and sharing assignments between people. That said, I have both Things and Trello and for years I have been starting Trello projects but never finish them unless I’m collaborating with others while I’m always checking and using Things. Pro-tip: if you start to find your todos are piling up, the list keeps growing, and it feels like you’re getting nothing done then you probably need to either delete the tasks that you keep putting off or move them into the Someday category. Momentum is the name of the game here and not ticking off tasks regularly will kill anyone’s motivation and then you stop using the app. No amount of reminders and push notifications will save you from yourself..Version: 3.13.11

Exactly what I neededThis to do app gave me everything I wanted. Easy to make to do’s: check, easy to make repeating to dos: check, email/have others email to dos into your inbox: check, create projects: check, sync between your devices: check, minimalistic and easy to use: check, Wigits: check, syn your calendar: check. The only downside for me is that I cannot have this application on my windows computer as well as my apple products. That would have been amazing. I use this app daily and the one time purchase model works perfectly for me. I do not like paying subscriptions..Version: 3.17.9

Thank you - it just got betterI’ve been away from Things for a while, as I’d been using an alternative app... I came back to it recently for various reasons, and I’m pleased to say it’s got even better then it used to be! Gorgeous to look at and the User Experience design is an absolute genius. At the moment I can’t think of anyway this app could be improved! (And I’ve made it my main task app again).Version: 3.10.2

IPad Keyboard support is *incredible*Apart from everything else, I can now CTRL+Space to add a new task, just like on the Mac. YOU ALL ROCK! 😃.Version: 3.6

Great for Work and SchoolI have been using Things for almost 10 years - through high school and university, and now for my career. Having multiple levels of organization - areas, projects, headings, tasks, subtasks - on top of notes, scheduled vs due dates, tags, and more, make this the best task manager I’ve ever used..Version: 3.15.13

Smooth, Feature-Rich, Easy to UseThis app has been my saving grace in my daily battle with ADHD. The most notable point in my eyes is how smooth the learning curve is, you don’t need to watch a 1 hour tutorial or read a book to learn to use it. I love how feature-rich Things 3 is, especially the fact that many “Power User” features aren’t forced on you like in many other apps. This makes it very user friendly as an awesome, yet simple to-do list and the great features are not hard to find/learn when you decide to expand your use case (Tags, Projects, Areas, Scheduling, Routines, etc.). In my opinion, Things 3 is a great supplement to a busy person’s routine/workflow. I am looking forward to more projects by the Things 3 Team and would love to participate in the beta program if/when available. Thanks Things Team!.Version: 3.16.6

Good app but priced a bit high.I like the app, functionality is great but having to buy separate and expensive copies for my iPhone and my iPad is a bit over the top to be honest..Version: 3.0.2

❤️Thanks for all the great updates, it’s my favourite app. I have it for my Mac, iPad mini and phone and it’s great.Version: 3.15.16

Works well on the Jumbo iPadThings works well on the 12.9” iPad. Of course using the IPad version of the Things app. The app uses the canvas really well. Adopting the larger screen also makes viewing projects and tasks that much easier. Overall a good experience and for how I like to use task management apps, it pretty much ticks all of the boxes. So why not five stars? Well the ability to colour code projects which sit outside work areas would be nice. I’m using this as a shortcut option to get to the projects I am most likely to be working on. If I could colour them then it work be easier to distinguish between jobs, work and anything else..Version: 3.7.5

Almost perfect for meAmazing app. Everything i wanted from a checklist planner. I’ve been using google keep, but all it was missing is this flexibility. The only thing i wish it would have is if i set a repeatable task, i wish that i could set the time when it resets instead of refreshing at midnight when the next day technically starts. So if i have an activity i have to do at 5pm, i could set the task to become active at 5, instead of reseting at midnight, and then set a reminder for 5. Its not a big deal, excellent app. Probably the best of this type out there..Version: 3.11.2

Everything you’d ever possibly need or want when it comes to “getting things done”!This app is clearly #1 when it comes to tools to help you get things done. It is very obvious that the principles that make up the foundation of this app were highly influenced by those found in David Allen’s best seller “GETTING THINGS DONE”. I have gotten to the point where I don't think I could live without THINGS 3. Seriously, I use it every single day and it has become a huge part of not just my work flow but my entire life plans and goals. If you use it correctly and you stick to it, you will be amazed at how much you can accomplish in a day, week, or year. Hands-down best app of its kind. Bravo!.Version: 3.12.4

Love this app!Things on iPad and iPhone is a really wonderful solution for people who want something that’s simple to use, but complex to master. Not as powerful as something like Omnifocus, but that’s okay for me. I’d love to get the Mac version, but it’s a bit out of my price range for now, but maybe some day I’ll drop the $80 on it. I mean, I could afford it, but I’m trying to save money right now. So. Only thing I’d really love would be a dark mode. Please make it happen, Cultured Code!.Version: 3.4.3

Nice app but expensive to get for all devicesThe iOS version of the app is great, but Mac version is ridiculously expensive. I will never pay $70 for it..Version: 3.13.8

Things 3 ties stuff togetherHave used Things for a few years now and have immensely enjoyed having it tied seamlessly together across platforms. Forced to update due to the imminent closure of Cloud Synch for Things2. Upgrade was a bit expensive (even with discount) when you have to purchase 3 seperate apps for iMac, iPad and iPhone. Seems more like a cash grab by Apple and Cultured Code. That said, newer interface is slightly different but very intuitive. It keeps me up to speed across my bits of tech with little effort on my part. I look forward to using app into the future.Version: 3.10.7

A very good app on par with Wunderlist but lacks a few key features!I have paid for both the iPhone and iPad versions. Things 3 is a very nice that todo app that is the most aesthetically pleasing to use in the App Store. Looks aside, Things 3 has a great amount of functionality but is missing a few key features: 1. The ability to set a time specific reminder or alarm. 2. The ability to attach a file or a photo. 3. No way to share a list with another person and allow them to make a comment. 4. No web access or PC app to access your Things 3 lists. Wunderlist provides all of these and is free! Hopefully the developers read the reviews and see that these are features that users want and that would truly make Things 3 the best todo app bar none. One thing that Things 3 does provide is the ability to email your Things 3 list and create a todo. This is very helpful with emails and important things your find on the internet that you might want to revisit at a later date..Version: 3.10.7

What I've been looking forThings 3 is exactly what I need. The way things processes tasks with its Today view and context tags is exactly the way I think about my tasks. Its touch interface is slick and intuitive, and it has so many keyboard shortcuts that you never need to touch the screen to do anything. It integrates with everything from Siri to email so you can add tasks in any way you like, and on top of all of that the UI design is gorgeous. Plus a dark mode with options for Dark or Black! Best $30 I've spent in a long time..Version: 3.9.6

Best app of all time!I’m a tad ADD, this app brings me back into line, keeps me focused, removes the stress of - what am I missing. It has gotten better and better over the years, it’s so intuitive and natural feeling to use, can’t say enough good things about THINGS..Version: 3.10.7

Amazing appI was a Omnifocus user. I always got lost in @contexts and @people and @projects and all that. This app is simple, polished, and powerful. Try it. I have one request: please enable some kind of night mode. I like how clean this app looks during the day, but at night it just burns your eyes..Version: 3.2.3

This has made my life betterI wrote a long review but my iPad deleted it just as I was finishing. So I’ll just say that there is something very, very calming about this app. It’s really good at stopping everything getting overwhelming, so you just see what you need to see. The only extra feature I’d like is to be able to choose, on some projects, for completed tasks to remain. It’s often helpful to see what’s left to do in the context of what you’ve already done - and it can be really good for morale. As it is, you can only choose to log all or none of your completed tasks. Update: the more I use this app, the happier I am with it. I use it on iPad, iPhone and laptop every day, and it really does help me be productive without getting in the way or overwhelming me..Version: 3.15.20

Nothing works without ThingsAfter a friend tweeted about Things one time and I searched it. I have started using the app for a year. And since then I have added tasks forever. Thinking that it would be just an app to place tasks that will never be done. After exactly a year of placing all those crazy ideas and anything that pops in time organizing any life or business idea and dividing it to limitless tasks that I wouldn’t accomplish any. Here I am today after exactly a year of adding. I have started 3 businesses, created a Patented workflow for how a business can operate. And all that was done by iPhone version. And now I bought the iPad and Things became part of my life wherever I go..Version: 3.13.16

Fine appUser of first iteration of Things, I can really appreciate the work done for usability, particularly on iPad. So much so that facing a steep cost having to upgrade multiple devices, I made the decision not to purchase the MacOS version. That good on iPad and iPhone. Some refinements of course –nothing unexpected for a new version and of such standards..Version: 3.0.2
