I Can’t Live Without The Tasks App

I have tried almost every task app out there. I am a list maker, so my task apps have to live up to a high standard. I like a task app that is streamlined, very simple, has notifications and can be organized into categories.

I’m excited to say: I have found a winner! Tasks is by far the best to-do list app I have ever tried. And trust me, I have tried a lot.

Sync with Google

One of the most-wanted features for me is that it syncs with Google. Since my life is basically organized on Google (email, calendar and docs), I love that my to do lists now have a Google home. Everything is in one spot.

Many apps claim to be able to sync to Google, but for some reason, I’ve found most of them are buggy and don’t work very smoothly. This is not the case with Tasks. You can add or remove tasks from either your phone app or your computer, and rest assured that your lists will be updated on all your devices.

Perfectly Simple

The app is beautiful. From the simple design to the ease of use, Tasks is exactly what you need in a list app, and doesn’t bother with all the bells and whistles you don’t use. The list view is simple, with an option to indent tasks to make subtasks. You can drag tasks around to prioritize them and you can swipe to switch between lists.

Notifications

What is a to do list without deadlines and reminders? Of course, Tasks lets you set a due date for each task and decide if you want to be reminded when the deadline hits.

Currently, the app doesn’t allow time-specific notifications. If you want to be reminded of a task, you choose a default reminder time and when you add a reminder to a task, the default time is used. According to their site, the Tasks developers are working to add time-specific deadlines.

This app has made my life so much simpler. I can easily make lists, categorize tasks and take my lists with me wherever I go. If you’re anything like me, and appreciate a good to-do app, this one is a must-try.
