Description
Leave it to the "Best User Interface 2009" App Awards winners to make THE ToDo List you’ve been waiting for: Zero complications. Zero frustration. Just a stunning to do list you can finally understand and use.
Use with Sync or without; Zero hair pulling required. Sync to Mac, Outlook (PC) and Toodledo (v1.2.2) in no time; get Push Notifications and Email alerts; share todos by Email and even drag & drop between Calendars! NO other app does these better:
★ Sync with Mac / Outlook (WiFi) and Toodledo (Edge/3G/WiFi)
With the help of the free Sync helper, you can effortlessly keep your Mac/PC and the 2Do app in sync. You can also instead sync with Toodledo (coming v1.2.2) anytime, anywhere. NOTE: Event items are currently not synced from the Mac/PC, only To Do / Tasks are. Mac Sync requires 10.5+.
★ Push & Email Alarms
Away from your PC? Not a problem. Enjoy the free alerts by 2Do. Choose message, sound, email or all three to remind you of what needs to get done. Snooze available in v1.2.2+.
★ Projects, Checklists or simple ToDos
Group tasks together under Checklists or Projects and sort these independently.
★ Share Todos by Email or Twitter
Tap and hold on a task to reveal more options. Send tasks to friends and family via email.
★ Actions
Attach a Contact to your ToDo to remind you of calling, emailing, visiting them etc, or attach your current location to the ToDo you're creating for future reference.
★ Voice Notes

Customer Reviews
Utter Calendar Mayhem
Having used the prior version and enjoyed it, I was looking forward to the recent update and feature enhancements. What I hadn't bargained for: hours of rebuilding my iCal contents locally and on MobileMe only to have them destroyed each time the program synced - from todos to appointments, over and over again. The ultimate solution? Uninstall, reset all of my syncs on all of my Macs and MobileMe, removal of the helper app, and a restore from a time machine backup followed by another resync.
Verdict: too much can go wrong to justify the upgrade, and the inherent danger to my calendars and sync stability isn't justified by the app itself. For me, it's straight back to OmniFocus without looking back. I love this app, but it's useless if it doesn't _just work_.
Feature creep is killing this app
This is probably the best todo app in the app store at the moment, however it's maddening because you wish the developers had just a touch more restraint and discipline when implementing features. For example, I was very excited to see the context icons (email, call, etc) but I'm not using them at all now because the app REQUIRES that you add what number or contact you need to call. So if you add a to-do "Call Joe" it doesn't matter that you already know Joe's number by heart, if you want that phone icon beside the to do you have to either look for Joe's contact info in your Contacts file, or type out his number. You can't just have the icon for a quick overview of, say, all the calls you should make today.
In these latest two versions, you get the feeling that the app keeps insisting you micromanage your todos with tags, precise dates and times, and exact actions, even though most of the time that's pretty pointless. I almost wish Guided Ways would release a "Lite Pro" version of this app that would strip away one layer of complexity and bring the app back to the gorgeous visuals and simple interface it had to begin with. Most todos don't require Library of Congress-style archiving details. Just let me see that I need to call Joe and some other people today. Don't make me reenter Joe's number every time.
Flatters to deceive
The slick, colorful interface makes a welcome change from some of 2Do's competitors, and the app is chock full of interesting and useful features.
However, I have to be able to TRUST the to do app I use day in and day out, and 2Do falls down on that score. I've lost count of the number of times I've ended up with duplicate and/or lost items; previously checked off items also mysteriously reappear; and there are several usability niggles which I just cannot get past, such as the app dumping you back into the "All" view every time you add a new task.
Overall, there's a lot to like, but I've gone back to Appigo Todo because it has a less fussy interface and is 100% reliable.
