Things is one of the most important apps in my busy life. It provides, together with my calendar app, structure and confidence that I will remember to do everything needed at the right time. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Things simplifies my life and frees up brin capacity by letting me schedule tasks to do today or years from now and then focus on what to do now, knowing that the future tasks will pop-up on my list when they require my attention. #### Cons Things does not have its own geolocation function that allows you to get reminders based on your location (e.g. remind me to talk to X when arriving at work next time). There is a way to accomplish that with app integration, but it would be great if it was native to Things. #### Reasons for switching to Things Todosit was too complicated. Things is more straightforward and easy to use, yet powerful enough to simplify my life. --- ### A solid, easy to use program for task management and everyday thought organization. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ben s. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Entertainment - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall I really enjoy using Things. It has simplified my workflow, and makes it easy and efficient to keep track of everything I have going on, without being cumbersome or overly involved and complicated to use. I have tried so many different todo list and task management systems over the years, with most being too simple and not powerful enough to do what I need them to, or overly complicated and bloated with features that I don't need, or workflows that are cumbersome. Things really hits the sweet spot for me with the features and power to keep me on task, without slowing me down or frustrating me. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I love how quick and easy it is to put down the things that I need to do every day. I love that there is an inbox where I can do a mind dump with everything that needs to be done at some point, and then come back later when I have time and sort them into certain days to do them, or defer them for some other time. I love that the there is a quick add feature on my desktop, as well as the quick add feature on my iPhone, so that I can quickly throw new things into the inbox when a random thought pops into my head. I always struggle with forgetting things for good if I don't write them down when they pop into my head, and this essentially solves that issue for me as I can almost always grab my phone when a though comes in and enter it into Things quickly and know that it will be there when I come back to it later. I love the way you can use areas, headers, and projects to efficiently label and organize everything. I have multiple ongoing projects that I am working on in different areas of my life, and this makes it easy to keep them all separate, but still be able to keep track of where things are and what the next thing I need to work on is to keep things moving forward. I love how seamlessly the iPhone app and the desktop app work together. There is no thought involved in it at all. Everything stays in perfect sync no matter if I'm working on my phone or on my computer. #### Cons The only real complaints I have about Things is the lack of any real collaboration support. It would be really useful to be able to add people to certain projects or task lists, or to assign people certain tasks in a project, and they be able to see, add, edit, and mark off tasks as they go. Or be able to have a team track along with how projects are going and what their current status is. I see a lot of people also complain about the lack of attachments also. While this isn't something that personally affects my workflow, I can see how it would be useful, and understand why people are frustrated that it isn't supported. I think if they had an add on subscription service to allow attachments and collaboration, it would really make it one of the best programs out there. #### Reasons for switching to Things I wasn't happy with OmniFocus or Microsoft To Do, and I found myself reluctant to use them everyday, and it was difficult to keep everything on track and stay on top of what I needed to do. I wanted to love OmniFocus, and normally I love the products from OmniGroup. However, I found the software overly verbose and complicated to use efficiently. The user interface wasn't easy to navigate for me. It just seemed to be overly complicated and clunky, and I always felt a little daunted every time I opened it. Over time I just stopped using it regularly. Microsoft ToDo was okay. I liked it much better when it was Wunderlist. I feel like it got buggier and didn't quite work as well, or they way I was used to once they took it over. --- ### Brilliant for managing your life - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Ben-Anthony D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I love how there are no differences no matter what platform I use, whether it be desktop or mobile. It’s reliable, organised and easy to use #### Cons I don’t like the lack of team management features #### Reasons for choosing Things The pricing, UI and UX #### Reasons for switching to Things The pricing for Monday.com made it too expensive for daily task management and the mobile app is almost unusable compared to the desktop application --- ### Things - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Craig F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This is the best piece of software I have ever bought and I’m a heavy duty user in my job and in daily life. Things has replaced the need to use expensive project management software by providing a very simple interface with no overloading of the UI which lets you do everything while not having to go back and forth etc. #### Cons Things isn’t open source and is not free. It’s expensive when you consider 4/5x point of access but for a lifetime license it’s ok. #### Reasons for switching to Things In search of something more simple on desktop and in app format. --- ### a super practical to-do app - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Pedro C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I love Things, I had used many task managers before and they made making the list of activities a chore, but with how easy it is to do it in things, it really makes it more fun and engaging, #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It might seem like a small thing, but creating tasks quickly is an incredible experience, just hit space to create a new one, and then type the details and hit enter to save, don't need to click anywhere or select from any drop down menu or anything #### Cons I wish it had online collaboration, I love Things for my personal projects and work, but im forced to look for other options for collaborating with others, also its a bit expensive and they charge you for the Mac app, the iOS app and the iPad app separately, that's kind of a bummer, would also like to have recurring tasks #### Reasons for choosing Things Its app based, not browser based, it looks very smooth and its so easy to add tasks that there's no friction between wanting to add a task and adding it, it works even better than one could imagine --- ### Things App easy to use - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Writing and Editing - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: April 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I use it every day to remind me of daily tasks, upcoming things to do and projects #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It is easy to add tasks (to-dos), due dates, tags and deadlines. Ability to archive events. Pick between Upcoming, Anytime and Someday categories. #### Cons Lack of integration with other apps like Fantastical, other calendar apps. More appearance options of different colors besides Light or Dark #### Reasons for switching to Things Todoist more difficult to use and less intuitive --- ### Great Personal Task Manager - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: James B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Design - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: December 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. For years, I used another task manager that was much harder to use. The complexity of the other system resulted in me not regularly utilizing the tool. Things give me just the right amount of customization and presents an easy intuitive user interface. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I appreciate the clean design and the fact that it is very powerful yet easy to learn and use. It is also synchronized across all my devices which allows me access wherever I go. #### Cons It is a little on the pricey side especially if you want to use it across your Mac, iPhone and iPad. However, I will say that it is worth the money. #### Reasons for switching to Things - Things easier to use - Nozbe subscription rates were high and increasing --- ### A way to ensure you know what Things need your attention - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Management Consulting - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Name a task management app: probably I have used it. I have tried so many, but have stuck with Things for years now. One of the secrets is that there are less bells and whistles, less leavers to play around with. This means, I take less time to make the task list look perfect, and more time on actually doing the work. The other reason is that tasks I do not complete today, just get carried over to tomorrow. This means there is not a backlog, no past days to navigate back to. There is simply 'today' which includes all the tasks I purposefully added today's date to (plus the ones carried over from yesterday). There are two types of dates: deadlines and reminders. With tasks that have a deadline, I will usually set a reminder a couple of days in advance. Each day I try to take a couple of minutes to look at 'today' and move out anything that I give up on doing or want to postpone. That way I know what is in 'today' is truly things I want to tackle that day, if I am able. If not, I know the task will show up tomorrow again and did not disappear into the abyss of digital nirvana. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It is so easy to use! I have tried lots of task managers and this one works best for me, mainly because of how little there is to 'play around' with. I love the design and the integration of apps on the Mac, iPhone and iPad are great. #### Cons There are a few small things that could be changed to increase its usefulness, but most of them are 'nice to have' and don't touch on core functionality. Sequential tasks (making task 2 show up once task 1 is completed) are the most obvious missing feature. Prices are high (especially compared to some free, yet still high quality offers) but comparable to their main competitors (OmniFocus, Todoist) --- ### Things, a Very Valid Way to Get "Things" Done - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ron B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I am someone who using my email inbox as the list of "action items" for my day. Things sitting in there are either going to be replied to by end of day, acted on or filtered into Things via a specific link URL for me to act on at a later day / week. The deep linking is super nice as I can hit a quick keystroke, have the email link into Things and then I can categorize it, set dates and also add tags or list items to it. This keeps my inbox clean and easy to manage. I have this on Mac, iPhone and iPad, which is an expensive investment, but its a very polished piece of software. I use this for school and work only and use something else for Personal (more on why in a moment) When I triage my tasks at the start of the day, it's easy to prioritize, and drag things around to shift priority throughout the day or as things change. Also the "Evening" grouping on a "Today" task makes it easy for me to separate my Masters program tasks from work while still having an eye on both and not having them blend together. The one short coming is why I cannot use it for personal. My wife and I both have shared tasks, and this does not share tasks. My wife can sign into this, but then she is subject to all my stuff, which she does not need, and there is no way to turn off lists per device or hide various items. So instead we use 2Do right now which does allow a more fluid shared system. If Things added shared lists, this would be a complete solution for personal/work shared lists. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The repeating tasks are nice and being able to reschedule them is a plus. Baked in functionality with platforms like Spark make it easy to add an Email as a task, and then click on it in Things later and have the email automatically load right where you need it. Makes it easy for taking an email out of my inbox and putting it somewhere for later. #### Cons Lack of shared lists - this software is good for the individual to get things done throughout their day and keep things separated and organized and know when things are due, however it does not allow for sharing of specific lists or tasks with someone else. Apple Reminders and the abandoned software 2Do offer this functionality standard. So if it's a shared task, you need to look elsewhere. --- ### Ios task manager - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Suzillah A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Logistics and Supply Chain - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Things is a very excellent task manager that is very well build for managing task. It is light and run fast on my iPhone without any problem. I can create a task from a single click and it shown hos simple it is to operate the software. The notification can be set if you constantly reminding you for you pending task. #### Cons Things that i dislike with this application is, it is exclusive only on ios platform and can be access from other operating system like android or windows. The price for the software is also quite steep and the trial period is too short for user to evaluate it before make a purchase. --- ### The best task management software for easy to medium complexity setups - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Davide B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Publishing - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered It’s my favourite software and couldn’t think about doing without it. It has its limitations, but for my use case the pros greatly surpass the cons, that can be worked around somehow. One thing to keep in mind though is that it’s a strictly individual app, it has no functions for collaboration or sharing anything, and moreover works only on Apple devices #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Things is very easy to understand and use, and has a very beautiful and clean interface that’s a pleasure to see. It is simple on the surface but can accommodate a bit more complex setups. #### Cons It’s good for managing single tasks to remind or simple projects, but for more complex things it shows it’s limits. The things I miss the most: setting tasks within a project as parallel or subsequent tasks: now they’re shown all together, even the ones not yet actionable; a web interface, for when I don’t have my devices available for some reason. Also, the ability to put tasks on hold or track that they’ve been delegated to others would be good --- ### Excellent ToDo List Organizer Works Great for Projects Too - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Albert E. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Human Resources - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros My favorite features of the app include: • keyboard shortcut for a quick entry box to capture a new to do no matter what I'm doing on my computer • keyboard shortcut for a quick entry box that captures whatever I've highlighted on my computer and pastes it as a new to do • integration with Apple Reminders and calendar to import reminders to Things. This is extra useful because I use SIRI to capture to do items all the time and they automatically show up in Things inbox for processing. • organizing to do items into projects and be able to assign headers within the list to group items • tags for quick filtering I also use the mobile app, which makes reviewing and adding on-the-go easy, but I mainly work with Things on my computer for major planning #### Cons I use Things daily and I honestly don't have any criticisms. I only hope the developers don't start adding features which dilutes the amazing functionality and ease it has now. --- ### My go-to task manager - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Angie C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Things helps me organize my life and keep focused on the tasks that matter. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Responsive and clean UI. While task managers aren't too complicated, Things has a beautiful interface and makes creating tasks a fun experience. The "magic button" which is what I call the create "+" button is a nice way to enable creation of To-dos, projects, or Areas. The default set of groupings works well, from Inbox, to Today, to Upcoming, to Anytime, then Someday. You can also create your own Areas and Projects to meet your own logical grouping. Any tasks that aren't completed get moved over to the next day. Being able to snooze a task by moving it to "tonight" is also useful. You can also configure an alarm to prompt you when you should perform a task. #### Cons Once I accidentally deleted an Area and spent a lot of time trying to find out how to undelete. I still haven't figured this out and had to recreate it from memory. There aren't any collaboration features to work on tasks with other users. Also the one time cost of the software is limited to specific clients (i.e. iOS vs MacOS). --- ### Great for your To Do list with one request - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kip K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Financial Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros This is a very easy product to install and use Just like the Google search bar, it’s best feature is it’s simplicity. It also allows you to keep historical record of previous activities which is very helpful I need to go back and look something up #### Cons I bought the version that you install on your computer. You can buy separate app but that’s an extra fee. I really don’t understand why they don’t give you an option to combine the two and make it just one price. --- ### Things is thisclose to being perfect - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jessica L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Legal Services - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Oh man, where do I even begin? I utilize Things for my home / personal / non-work tasks, and it's incredible. I love that I can have multiple projects and areas, so that everything can be organized and grouped how I want it to be. Also: repeating to-dos! Big fan. #### Cons There's nothing that I don't like, per se, but I do wish that there were more business features, so that I could use this for work. Specifically: I'd love to see shared projects, assignable tasks, and chat / comments. --- ### Great Project Planning and To-Do list tool. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Internet - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It is a robust and beautifully designed piece of software that does just about everything I want it to do. It has the ability to make a project with key tasks and subtasks that isn't overwhelming to review. #### Cons I really wish they had a subscription model that would allow me to pay them a flat price per year or month to have all of the apps. Right now you would need to purchase each app individually but then you own them until they make a new revision. --- ### My to-do list for more than a decade - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Andrew "AJ" C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Things is simple but powerful. This tool has been open on my Mac and iPhone every day since high school. It has come with me through four degrees and countless jobs and internships. It's a workhorse for every setting. #### Cons It is a bit expensive for personal use, but it's worth it for how often I use it and how much value I get. I wish it had more integrations, but I'm not too upset. --- ### Good software with a few concerns - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Financial Services - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Helps me manage my todo tasks though there are other high quality players in the same arena today #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros - Beautiful UI - System wide shortcut to capture tasks - Syncs with the iPhone, Mac and the iPad - Fast and flexible. For e.g.,I could choose not to do GTD and run it like a traditional todo list - They finally seem to be building some integrations into the application #### Cons - Very expensive. Needs a separate purchase for iOS - Devs can disappear. They did after they released the previous version. Took an incredibly long time to develop Things 3. I was questioning whether I had to move to a different todo list - Not as feature rich as one would expect given the incredulous pricing. For e.g., cannot use with teams, no note taking - Needs a dark mode --- ### Simple and Effective - You won’t want to go back - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: November 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Organization both of my work and personal life has had a big improvement since using Things, no regrets buying this software at all! Also for those quickly vanishing thoughts, quick entry is amazing. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Overall everything feels smooth and right how it should be! Really the best feature for me, is being able to quickly note some thought (from the quick entry shortcut, with intelligent autofill!) while doing whatever thing on my Mac. Calendar and Reminders integration it’s also very well synchronized and displayed on the Menu. Cloud makes it a very good feature for the companion app on iPhone, it’s a breeze! #### Cons I’ve run into a minor issue on Dark mode theme, which was quickly fixed by the support! --- ### My 'Things' experience - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jonathan A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Law Practice - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: July 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Excellent. No complaints. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love the design of this app. Definitely easy to use. I just type up a task press 'enter' and that's it. All my tasks are listed. I can check off what tasks I've completed. It even keeps a record of all the tasks I completed and I can set up a 'reminder' notification so I know that this deadline is coming up or I have. I can even set up keyboard shortcuts to make entry even faster. Essentially this is like my digital diary. Easy to use and it sits on my desktop so it's right at mu finger tips. #### Cons Needs an Android mobile app. Would love to be able to have all of my tasks synced across desktop and mobile. --- ### Things is great...but expensive - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. This is the app everyone needs for organizing their lives and getting stuff done. I just wish it was marketed toward everyone and not just those who have to spend a pretty penny. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Things is the exact app I am looking for when it comes to getting things done and completing projects. It's minimal and I don't like to spend a ton of extra time that I don't have just to work around software. I also love that you can obtain this app and sync to all of your devices. #### Cons The features are great, but I feel like it's difficult to justify spending the amount of money on the app. $20 for the iPhone app and then another $50 for Mac and $20 for iPad? I understand that each requires it's own time of development, but the pricing is steep. I would love to be able to get Things for my Mac and iPad but I can't justify spending that kind of money on an app. --- ### Love Things 3 - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Design - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I have tried several other todo list managers, and this is my favorite one by far. Simple, easy to use, but powerful enough to handle my needs. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros quick integrated intuitive calendar syncing multiple platforms #### Cons There isnt much that is wrong about this software. If im being picky, the only thing I don't​ like is how the apple reminders aren't​ automatically imported into Things. They show up, but then you have to maunally click "import" to get them into your inbox. ## More reviews [Next reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/things-profile/reviews/?page=2) --- Things Reviews, Pros and Cons - 2026 Software Advice
