    Pros

    Todoist allows for many tags and subproject sorting abilities that lets me keep my endeavors straight.

    Cons

    It gets a little out of hand when many people are using it. It's not a robust project management software, but a highly functional to-do list.

    Pros

    I love that I can share a list with other people. When my wife and I go grocery shopping, we can split up and see when the other person has checked something off the list.

    And the Chrome app works great--I can add something to a shopping list or todo list from any web page or from my phone.

    Cons

    In the Android app, there are a few too many taps required to get into a specific project. To open my shopping list, I have to open the app, pull open the sidebar, click on the projects item to expand my projects, scan for the "Shopping" item, and click on it. I wish I could set it to automatically open a specific project.

    I love the daily reminders when you have tasks do on Todoist. It makes it so easy to set reminders for yourself weeks in advance. I also love the feeling of satisfactory you get when you check of the task.

    Cons

    Pros

    The simplistic nature of the app is what really got me sticking around for todoist. The clean and easy to use functions on the app really takes the clutter out of an already messy list of things to do!

    I also like that I can access the todoist extension on gmail which allows me to directly convert emails on gmail to tasks on todoist! This is a super bonus feature that I love and use on a daily basis.

    Cons

    Their recent increase in price was a bit of a turn off! I was a loyal subscriber for two years and decided to skip to paid account in my third year. Although I miss some of the features such as note taking, labels (which are powerful if you're an advanced user), I can still get by with the basic features on the free version.

    Pros

    So far this software has performed great for us. Being able to nest jobs under other jobs is what made this different from other to-do list programs I've tried. The Android app is a great extension that gives all of the features found on the desktop/browser based app. My whole team can access and mark their progress from anywhere in the plant.

    Cons

    I wish there was a trial period for the paid functions. It would have made the just to the paid version much easier if I knew exactly what I was getting.

    I'm more organized with chores, schoolwork, errands, and every other category of task. It feels so good to not have to re-write recurring tasks every week. I'm doing a lot better this semester, and a lot of that is because of Todoist.

    Pros

    I love the organization. The projects, labels, priorities, and especially the filters have really helped me focus on what's important for a specific type of task on a specific day. I love the ability to customize repeating tasks. This has been a really powerful tool for me the past few months.

    Cons

    The desktop version is inferior to the web version, in my opinion. On the desktop version, if you're in the middle of typing up a new task, and have to switch windows or click off of the todoist window to check something, the task you've been typing will disappear. This doesn't happen in the web version, the new task will stay put while typing/switching tabs/switching windows. Also, in the web version, the "q" key can be pressed at anytime, no matter where you are in the todoist space, to start quick-adding a new task. In the desktop app, if you're in a filter (where I spend most of my time), pressing "q" does nothing. It was very annoying to have to switch out of a filter in the desktop version to add a quick task.

    I've moved to the web version, where I really have no complaints. So I guess it's fine. Just wanted to state that there was definitely a reason for my switch from the desktop to the web version.

    So. Incredibly. Easy. To. Use! I'm a task master and making lists is what I'm all about. I added Todoist to my browser and all I have to do is click the icon and enter my tasks. I couldn't ask for a more convenient way to get things done!

    Cons

    automatic adding of dates when I'm typing. Sometimes I want my to do list's content to include a date and the app assumes that date is the one you want for the to do item itself. It's a hassle to go back in and have to monkey with your content .

    I use Todoist every single day for all of my personal task management - but I also use it when working with teams. I've used many task and to-do apps, but gone cold with them after time. However, with Todoist, I've used it for 3 years straight, with no signs of slowing down!

    Pros

    Whilst some task management apps are stuffed with features, Todoist focuses on doing the important things really well. It's simplicity is so helpful, yet it's powerful too. The 'karma' system is a helpful game-ified way of increasing productivity, too!

    Cons

    One feature that would make a difference for me would be the ability to add multiple assignees to a task - this would avoid having to find workarounds. But this is the only drawback I have!

    It is a program that can be used effectively across platforms. It has a strong market presence. It is trusted program.

    Cons

    I have not used it much. To get the full version you need to pay for it. The free version is not intuitive or user friendly. A bit more of a learning curve than an app like Wunderlist.

    It has been the best thing ever to pair with my virtual assistant. Using the native Echo app can be a little tiresome, but after automating things and being able to talk and essentially take notes on things I have to do while at my desk, and easily reviewing these on my phone while running errands has been one of the best small life changes you don't appreciate until you experience it.

    Pros

    It has the best integratiosn with Amazon Echo hands down. It is a great app, but I did have trouble choosing between it and other options. Now that I can use it completely hands free with Alexa, it is a no brainer and works seamlessly. Even if you don't use this integration and are struggling to choose as I was, you'll have no regrets about going with todoist.

    Cons

    Sometimes it is a little hard to get a sense of how exactly you should be using it and setting up all the different tasks. The iPhone app could be set up better, but this is quite minor and is likely more a flaw of not committing to learning exactly how best to use the app.
