Customer Reviews
Good start but missing key features
The idea of Handle is great, and the basic structure is really nice. A couple of things keep it from seriously replacing other task managers though.
1. Email support is only for Gmail right now. I'm sure they're working on expanding it, but until they get exchange support (at a minimum) it's not ready for most professional users.
2. You can set up repeating tasks, but have very limited options. For example, I can't have a task that repeats on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I can do every day, once every week, every month, etc, but nothing that's more fine tuned. I think the gold standard here is the natural language recognition of Todoist, but even a simple adaptation of the system used in an app like Streaks would be welcome.
3. I would love to see an option to offer the developers a one time payment to support them instead of having to sign up for a subscription. I know I can sign up for a subscription and then cancel, but it shouldn't require an extra step for me to give you money. Especially because the lack of the two features above make the app a non-starter for me, I don't want to subscribe just hoping that the features I need will eventually be available.
Bottom line? If you're a gmail user with tasks that repeat daily or on the same day each week/month/year, this is an great app to check out. If you're not that exact person, the app is missing features that would allow it to replace whatever you use now.
No more spinning plates...not so fast
After a few months a few glitches surfaced. I also noticed a lot of redundancy with other modalities. This app is for someone, not me.
Originally I wrote:
So far I loaded and completed tasks I would otherwise be hard pressed to accomplish after work or on the weekend. We spin plates at work, but in reality sometimes personal business is more important and volatile when it falls between the cracks. This app dovetails all into one and lets you manage your time to harvest unseen opportunities.
Helped me a ton!
I mainly love this app because it integrates my emails with my to-dos AND CALENDAR!! This is the first app Ive actually tried and loyally still use.
