2Do - Todo List, Tasks & Notes App Reviews

2Do provides the functionality of Omnifocus with a simplicity and aesthetic quality that rivals Things. This is no small feat. Perhaps its best implementation is start and due dates, which allow you to defer and schedule tasks by date or by time (e.g. Dec 12 vs Dec 12 at 4:30pm). In addition, 2Do allows you to customize reminders independent of due dates. Being notified of tasks before theyre actually due is essential – i.e. genuine "reminders" of whats coming up. Moreover, 2Do offers snooze notifications, which pester you with repeat reminders about a task until it is acted upon (viewed, snoozed, or deferred); this is the core selling point of "Due" (another app that 2Do mimics, but better). Why three stars? 1) Updates are infrequent and lag behind iOS releases. At the price being charged, the app should at least receive compatibility fixes within a week or two of iOS iterations (as of mid-October, iOS 10 is STILL unsupported). 2) Apple Watch??? No native watch support, which makes the app painfully slow and completely unreliable. It hasnt changed since watchOS 1, despite promises by the developer for a native app with watchOS 2. Ahem... now that watchOS 3 is out? Seriously, this is something Watch users care about. Its an especially significant drawback considering the high quality of Things and Omnifocus on the Apple Watch, which allow you to put away your phone and get down to business. 3) Siri support Technically it IS supported, albeit indirectly. 2Do can optionally sync with iOS reminders (which, in turn, work with Siri), but 2Do only syncs all metadata across multiple devices if you sync with Dropbox (which forgoes Siri compatibility). Now that Siri is open to 3rd parties with iOS 10, theres huge room to improve. Of course, this wouldnt be as big of a drawback for Apple Watch users if they actually had a usable app for quick input...but I digress. Overall, 2Do is solid, and its especially good if you want granular control over reminders, due dates, and repeat notifications. However, if you care about Siri integration, iOS compatibility, Apple Watch support, or developer responsiveness, consider yourself warned.

The app is great in every possible aspect I can think of .. but it definitely need to implement the collabotive lists as soon as possible !!

Needs update to Watch Version.

Other apps get a lot of attention which is odd because this is clearly the best. Really happy I stumbled across this and its companion desktop app.

This is a great app with one slight tweak. Id like full customization of colors-you cant delete and substitute your custom colors. Each time you want to group a list under custom coloring, you have too many steps to come close to custom color. Hurry and change to get 5 stars!

2Do has everything that you would hope for in a superior task manager-its like the gold standard. I like the repeat features, tabs, and especially the calendar view date picker. The ability to add as much detail to a task in one pop up is fantastic, and you can add it very quickly without closing and opening and opening multiple pop ups like other task apps. The calendar integration is helpful. The sync is great (using Dropbox). The app has consistently improved!! I have tried just about every task manager to find one that meets my needs, and have been very pleased with this one!

Ive tried so many task apps and nothing comes close to 2do. Its easy to use and able to scale up in complexity to handle anything I throw at it. Love it!

Yes, there is a learning curve. You just need to dive in and start exploring it. Youll figure things out, but theyre not immediately apparent. Once I became comfortable with it and understood it better, I was hooked. Very flexible and adaptable. I like being able to keep lists but not have to schedule items if I dont want to. I tried Things, but never really stayed with it. This is a good balance; you can use aspects of GTD, but customize it. It just takes some time and patience to explore it. Look at the settings, add a task, start hitting buttons - you wont break it.

This is legit the best app Ive ever used for organisation once you get used to it. But there are a few things I would like to see. 1) drawing. Somehow there needs to be a way to doodle sown thing as notes. 2) quick notes. Like a way to pull up from the bottom and write down quick on the spot notes Thats it. Thats the only two things Id want. 3) plain notes option. Just add it to the task, folder, and to do option. So we can just take regular notes

I tried many task apps and this is the only one that worked for me. I use it everyday. Bugs have been fixed promptly and new versions have brought smart, useful improvements. The only thing Id change is the ability to prioritize a task list with numbers 1 to infinity so I could easily bring the tasks I need to focus on to the top of my list.

I really want to enjoy this application. It is responsive, and very intuitive. But it lacks some of the most basic features readily available today. It doesnt have a "dark" mode, nor does it allow you to use bullet points.

Jumped from Things. 2do brings just enough more to task management that I love my system again.

I tried and bought most task managers out there including all of the major ones. This one seems to be the most flexible of all for me to use in my own way, it is also the easiest with which to use GTD on. Highly recommended.

Adding to my earlier message...the app continues to be excellent, with frequent useful updates and quick, helpful attention from the customer service group. Highly recommend this app! 2Do does it all, and is well worth the cost. Ive been a Todo user for a few years, but the syncing problems and lack of updates sent me looking for a better option. Tried Wunderlist, Todoist, and several others on my way to 2Do, and none compares with the ease and many options of this app. Thanks for the great design!

It would be better if there was a pop up that appears when an email is received,that asks if i want to mark as task

Use it all the time, its very powerful and flexible, but also simple interface. Its great for different tasks in different categories at a glance. I mainly use it by setting start dates for every to-do, and then some tasks I can "snooze" by moving the start date to another day. I then use the today view to see all the to-dos I need to take care of today. One feature request is to have a way to have every new to-do item automatically have today as the start date. I also would prefer if the tasks I create from the today view dont automatically have a due date on them, since I only use start dates. Keep up the great work!

I picked this up because it was free during the app of the week promo. I ended up buying the Mac version as a compliment because I liked the way it worked. I have found a ton of uses for following up on things at work and home using this. I really like the ability to create a project with sub tasks and have them sync across all my devices. Great investment!

Very full feature set, well laid out and usable, even more so since the complete rewrite and re-design. These folks have put a TON of effort into overhauling their app and packing it with new features. Very, very usable, extremely flexible. A great example of a highly functional ToDo app!

***EDIT: Please add a way to see a full calendar view in 2Do. I appreciate the little one that comes up from thr bottom but Im a little jealous of Fantasticals full one. It helps me get a clearer picture of what kind of tasks are coming up that I cant get with a list. *** I am someone who needs to see things on paper, but I cant carry around my Day Designer everywhere I go. I quickly add reminders or tasks in the GTD box, organize by my categories Home/Pets/Family/Money etc then put it on paper at the end of my day. I went from AwesomeNote to Things and found that 2Do is their colorful love-child. I paid full price for the Mac version and do not regret it. I do try to use it on my laptop and iPad more than the iPhone and I have a Plus. Personally, its just easier to use visually the bigger I can see it Two suggestions: Make the locations part of a task user friendly: I cant tell whether or not the new place I just added went through because 2Do is showing me a complete history- have a way to hide all this please. Due to Evernotes increasing pressure to pay for a subscription, I need an alternate app to store site passwords or general adulting account numbers and tidbits. I wish 2Do had a way to just add a simple note (not a checklist, project, or task) to a category. Thats my schpheel. Keep the jam packed updates coming, you are doing a great job so far!

Im a task list freak. And Ive used apple reminders for a few years now. But, I always wanted a better way to sort and hide and manipulate tasks...and then I found this. I can choose to see ONLY what I need to do today and I can set "start dates" for tasks that never pop in my sight until I need to do it. This is a very, very capable app.
