They pack a lot of features into a very uncluttered app and it make for a fantastic experience. > > **Cons**: This app was a perfect balance for me between having advanced features but being fast and easy to use so I can't really think of anything I didn't like. > > Things kept me more organized and more on top of my projects and tasks. ----- ### "Simple to-do app" — 4.0/5 > **Marcus** | *28 December 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very minimalistic and simple to use. No fluff. No subscription fee is great\! > > **Cons**: Not enough integrations to my other tools, and no collab functionality. > > It's good if you want a simple todo list that looks good, is super easy to use etc. ----- ### "Best list manager I could find" — 5.0/5 > **Maciej** | *28 October 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's really basic and simple, but has all the functionality needed to use GTD method in you daily life. > > **Cons**: The price is really high in comparison to it's comparison. Another thing is, that you can't share your lists. > > I can recommend it to anyone as I've been using it daily. ----- ### "Things is simply the best task management app I have tried" — 5.0/5 > **Per** | *2 January 2024* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "A solid, easy to use program for task management and everyday thought organization." — 5.0/5 > **Ben** | *29 August 2022* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/115479/things?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/115479/things) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
