Things 3 App Reviews

Phenomenal organizational tool.

Things really is the best. Simple, minimalist, clean, easy. And believe me, I’ve tried all the others. It bugs me how Things does not have an app for Windows. I’ve paid hundreds on subscriptions with other to do apps that are compatible with Windows. But still, they are not as good and clean. With that said, I still come back to Things. Because it’s best by a mile.

I love this app so much I switched from Todoist which I’d been using for the past couple years. There are a number of reasons I now prefer Things, but here are some of the big ones: the layout is simple but beautiful, much better than Todoist’s; when I don’t complete a task it automatically reschedules it, whereas in Todoist I had to do it manually. That’s all that comes to mind but in general I just like Things a lot more.

On the iPhone widget, the + button for adding a new item to the Inbox doesn’t work. It used to open the new task modal, now it just opens the Inbox. Please fix that as the widget is harder to use without it. Otherwise, great product. Keep up the great work!

The app is great. The widgets and complications don’t update unless you click on them which defeats the purpose of having them. Really hard for me to give this a 4 star.

Would be nice to have both calendar and reminders in one widget. Opening the to look at your schedule was cool in 2016, lol! *NOTE TO DEVS* Yes it CAN absolutely be done, Fantastical does it and so do a couple of other ones. However I prefer the layout of your app. C’mon, you can do this.

This is the world’s best development and UX team. I’m in awe of how many small things are delightful.

This app is helping me organize my life, things I would usually forget. Instead of procrastinating, I have a future folder that is able to remind me of due dates, projects, and tasks I usually just store in the back of my brain!

Please add a “all” view. It’s simple and intuitive. Quick and easy way to do things (no pun intended).

Add Image &/or file capability! please, please, please!!

Not much to say really. I have been using Things 3 to keep my life in order for years. It’s an absolute joy to use, and I look forward to using for years to come. One of the best pieces of software I’ve ever seen.

Love that they were extremely fast to add Lock Screen widgets for iOS 16!

구독도아닌데 이렇게 좋다니...

is there a way to share a Things file to someone who also has the app?

This app can be as simple or complex as you need it to be. The biggest difference for me is adding thoughts and ideas quickly to Things-3, instead of keeping them in my head; over analyzing them and consequently not getting anything done

I hate the new widget and today they eliminated the old widget. I guess it’s time to use a different app. // Updated: Yes, it has reappeared. +2 stars Wish it hadn’t disappeared in the first place. I can see the writing on the wall. It’s clear I’ll have to plan for that feature to be deemed obsolete and eliminated at some point.

This app has changed my life, and that’s not even a stretch. I’m a first year nursing student and having this app sync from my watch to my phone and Mac has already proven incredibly helpful with setting tasks for the day and knowing what I have coming in the future. On top of that it helps valence the rest of your life at the same time. For myself Things is a game changer for productivity.

Would like option to replace title of TODAY with todays actual date. I often forget the date while adding tasks to the Today list. I shouldn’t have to leave app to find date. Thx

This app is great. German engineering at its finest. Worth the cost ten times over.

I have been using this app daily ever since I downloaded it. I used to be an unorganized person who always forgot dates and important tasks. After I got married, I decided to try my best and get myself in order. This app has changed me into an organized person and I hope more people can find and use this app to get more done. 5/5 Amazing app.

I interact with this app more than any other on my phone. I’m not exaggerating when I say Things changed my life; I’ve tried paper notes and lists, other competing apps, etc., and Things enables me to manage a workload that once would’ve overwhelmed me. Best in class.

Things 3 is a great looking, well designed app. I’ve used for years, and have been pretty happy. The design is great and can capture both simple tasks and complex projects. This is a great app. I appreciate this is a real app and not a repackaged web app (ahem, Electra).

Too many task apps focus on dates and git ‘er done; but you also want to less urgent things and arrange their components in some logical way. Too many note taking apps are just too clumsy for grouping and rearranging things. This app fills all of the above needs, and each may have a due date, and may be a recurring task, too. This is the best $10 I have spent all year.

I have never written a review before, but this app make me figure it out. I love it. If this app didn’t exist, I would literally spend years trying to code this myself. Thank you for saving me the time. Read getting things done or zen to done and get this app.

Simple, powerful and looks great. Much better than its overpriced competitor.

and that you can continually transform. what a seemingly simple yet magical application UX/UI is one of the greats. My only hope, although I am satisfied, is for a calendar app :)

Been using for years, and never regretted the investment. Only real downside is accessing outside the Apple ecosystem. But still 5 stars despite this!

I didn’t realize I hated my reminders app until I started using Things 3. I can’t believe I’ve been living under a rock.

I like this app because it doesn’t bog you down the category someday is perfect in my world. In general it just works for me . Thanks RD

I love this as a to-do app. I use it to organize tasks along with the Reminders App. The projects feature is great, so is tagging and the available widgets. I only wish that I could view the Today view along with Upcoming so I don’t have to click out, but can just scroll.

Love this app. Would be great if we could drag and drop tasks into projects from the iPhone

The clean interface is awesome! However, there’s room for improvement. Needs Natural Language processing (iOS) and location based notifications. Add this and I won’t go back to Todoist or Ticktick. However, keep it up! 👍🏼

Clean and thoughtful app to get things done. More importantly, developers deserve praise and your download for not imposing subscriptions that won’t add any value to your life.

please add a calendar view tab for more functionality (without making the app too busy)! this would make it so much easier to keep track of dates and deadlines that have been added far in advance/many entries added at once

Seemingly the only task management app that hasn’t gone to the subscription model.

Thia app is the best task manager i have ever used. Certainly worth the money. But it still lack one major point. I can't attache photos. And I need photos very much in my task routine. It would be great if they add it.

Well thought out and very useful. This app will help you manage life, business, and general tasks. If you’re willing to put in the time to learn and use (Things 3) it can definitely increase your productivity!

Easy simplistic I just love it

Not everyone has the luxury of always being on an Apple device. So it ends up being a pretty nice app that leaves you hanging when you really need it.

The notes feature and ability to search through those notes is amazing! This has saved me tons of time and journaling.

I love the app! It has simple aesthetics and a great UX. I’d highly recommend it to those that want to elevate their task organizational toolbox. Especially those trying to upgrade from the iOS Notes app.

This tool is the easiest and best “to do” list generator I’ve seen! And, I love to make lists!

I’ve been using things for 6 years and it’s the primary reason I have never switched to android.

My work laptop is Windows, and it’s tough not being able to access my work to dos on it. Please make a web app!
