## Reviews

### "WARNING, highly biased review: I'm a Things die hard fan :)" — 5.0/5

> **Martín** | *01 February 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - Both Mac and iOS apps are \*EXQUISITE\*&#10;- Buttery-smooth, impeccable performance&#10;- Down-to-earth way to organize your tasks&#10;- Beautiful GUI&#10;- Wealth of features&#10;- Sync between different clients works flawlessly&#10;- Cool API&#10;- Great integration with other apps (I use it mainly with DEVONthink Pro)&#10;- Very nice quick-entry box at the reach of a shortcut
> 
> **Cons**: - I miss not having a public space to discuss the app like other great applications have; I believe that a Discussion forum would add lots of value to the app by enabling its community interaction
> 
> Being a long time OmniFocus 2 user, at first I was hesitant of switching to Things given the amount of effort, time and money I spent on OF2 already; moreover, I was happy with it (in a general sense) so, again, it took me some time to decide to give Things 3 a fair try.&#10;&#10;But when I did... boy, oh boy\!&#10;&#10;I already tried other task managers (2DO being the most notable of them) but ultimately stuck with OF. But there was one thing about OF3 that especially put me off: the iOS app. This is, of course, a personal taste, but to me just watching the OS3 iOS interface felt a lot of work by itself.&#10;&#10;Coming from OF, Things 3 interface feels a visual welcome rest. It's neat, it's easy on the eyes, it displays all the data that you need and the navigation both on Mac and iOS is just fantastic; the more I used Things, the more it grew on me, and the less I was convinced to upgrade to OF3.&#10;&#10;But nonetheless switching to Things 3 was the best decision I could make. I can understand why a good chunk of longtime OF users was already migrating to Things (there are some good blog posts about that).&#10;&#10;I can say that Things is an integral part of my life, and I'm not exaggerating a bit here. I use it to organize my daily chores as well as personal and work stuff.&#10;It keeps me focused and prevents me from missing a thing. I can safely say that my productivity reached a whole different level by using Things 3, a boost of several magnitudes actually.

### "Good looking and easy to use task manager." — 4.0/5

> **Christopher** | *07 December 2023* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The aesthetics of it combined with its easy to use feature set. It is well put together. Simple and intuitive.
> 
> **Cons**: For me its strength lies in task managment, not project management. I would like some crossover features.
> 
> Overall a pleasant experience. I like the simplicity and the way it looks and feels using it. It does not come in the way of my line of thought.

### "Clean and simple, but limited in how you can access it" — 4.0/5

> **Carol** | *06 July 2023* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - Clean and simple UX and UI is probably Things' strongest features compared to the plethora of similar tools out there.- Great for use with the GTD (getting things done) method- one-time purchase
> 
> **Cons**: My biggest issue with Things is that while it's very simple and uncluttered, it really does not help me be productive. It lacks integrations with other tools and the worst part is that the only way you can access it is to use an Apple device. That means there is no possibility of me accessing my notes and tasks when I need to but I'm working on my Windows computer rather than my mac/ipad/iphone. This could be solved with a simple web app version that could be accessed through the browser, but for whatever reason, Things just has no interest in becoming a more widely accessible app.Another con is that while I listed "one-time purchase" as a pro, I also consider it a con because it is a one-time purchase PER device/account that you own.  That means I must purchase separately 3 times - one for iphone, ipad, and Mac. It's a very unusual way of doing things in my opinion.
> 
> While I would love to use Things, I had to migrate away from it quite realizing just how limited it was in both features and accessibility compared to the other tools out there. I'm not sure why the company behind the tool has no interest in making their app accessible across all devices when the purpose of the tool is productivity. Productivity is quite hindered if the only way I can access it is by picking up my distracting iphone while I'm trying to get work done on my Windows computer.

### "The best tool for individual task management" — 5.0/5

> **Jus** | *06 December 2021* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The visual design of things is clear and intuitive. It is easy to add and organize tasks including organizing tasks into projects/areas e.g. personal vice work. It works well with my calendar so that I can see my calendar events in things.
> 
> **Cons**: Primarily that I am unable to see my Things tasks in my calendar. I would very much prefer to work within my calendar including to add and remove tasks and mark tasks as complete in my calendar. Google Calendar gets close but the lack of repeat tasks and the lack of demarcation b/w tasks and reminders makes Google difficult to stay on top of.
> 
> It has been a decent change from Google Calendar but is not quite there.&#10;&#10;I really miss Astrid.

### "Best ever to-do list and more" — 5.0/5

> **Trudy** | *19 August 2019* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love how Things keeps me on track and is Synced to all my devices.
> 
> **Cons**: It would be good to be able to collaborate with one other person.
> 
> I am so much more organised.  I don't forget 'things' I have to do.  I created my first project recently and its keeping me on track.
