I’ve trid most of them… this is the best

I’ve tried so many of these to do lists… and this is the one I just keep coming back to. I do use this on IOS, mac, and my iPad. Its a minor investment compared to what you get out of this if you use it well. A few key points:
1) You can use siri (witought doing the annoying siri kit thing (such as “In things, remind me …). If you use Caldav you can just add reminders using the reminders app and have caldav sync them ot 2 do) I do that and just shut off hte notifaons for the reminders app… Magic)
2) Email to do - Just BCC an email that you want ot folloiw up with your 2do email address (I created a gmail address that just is used for 2do imports). Its a small in app purchase and well worth it.

The Dev keeps adding features and refinments. If you want to be a power user you can do that… if you just want an amazing simpel 2do applicaion it does that. Can not recommend this more. I was intrigured by a few features in Things, and tried it (on all of my devices). Ultmatily I came back to 2Do for a few reasons. The ease of adding tasks uisng Siri (on my iphone, in the car, or on my Mac) just made this a no brainer. On the mac there are also some great keyboard shortcuts for things like deferring a task a day that once you get used to them can be incredbitly powerful.

The only app for seriously busy people

A lot of task managers look pretty, and some have more features, but none combine elegance with flexibility in a way that meets my needs … except for 2Do! This is the only app capable of managing my busy life. I am a teacher and have to prepare for class each week. I can set a due date for each week’s lesson, as well as a “duration” which tells the app exactly how many days before class I want to start preparing. That means that I only see what I need to work on this week, but also know that when next week comes around I won’t be caught unprepared. I can also set up weekly tasks that repeat every week but which I can “pause” over the summer months when I don’t need to worry about them. And I can set up reminders that go off when I’m at school so I dont forget to do them when needed.

UPDATE: I wrote this review a long time ago, and continue to depend on 2Do as my main task manager. Since I wrote the review 2Do has gotten much better at sync with large databases via Dropbox, which makes it work even better for me. I still am not happy with the current implementation of capturing emails, I still wish that worked better. And I also find that I wish it was easier to move between views. If you find an item via a search or smart folder and click “target project view” the search filters are still applied which can be annoying as they might hide items in the project unless you remember to clear the search.

Easily Organize Your Day, Month… Life

I’ve used 2Do for the past several years. I’m amazed at how the app gets better and better with so many free updates. With DropBox sync, I can have the app open on my mac, make changes on my ipone, and immideately see the changes reflect on the mac. It’s beyond amazing!! Get it now. You won’t be sorry.

UPDATE: it sync so quickly now with the latest (free update)
