Good Todo

App does not sync consistently. I find myself using the online version on my phone to ensure proper sync.

It's difficult to assess this app separately from the Good Todo service itself, since they rather go hand-in-hand. Good Todo has proven itself as the only task management approach that's ever truly worked for me. I feel more organized, more productive and more in-control than I have at any point in my professional (or personal) life. Of course, any tool of this sort requires disclipline and commitment, and Good Todo is no exception, and this app is one piece of that puzzle for me; being able to access and manage tasks anywhere, anytime is essential. The real elegance of Good Todo is in its simplicity. You won't find over-the-top "featureitis" in Good Todo; it's very focused, and encourages you not to overthink and overanalyze. It's about capturing the tasks, and making appropriate decisions about them. This particular version of the app has a bug related to new tasks, but an update is already in the pipeline. No matter; it's still one of a handful of apps I use multiple times every day. Love it!

I love the Good Todo web application. My biggest complaint has been the lack of an iPhone app, and now we have one. Like its online counterpart, it favors simplicity and usefulness over features. The sync works well (in my experience, anyway) and it offers almost all of the abilities of Good Todo online. My only complaint now is that the UI feels a little clunky; the tree arrows for category grouping feel very 1996 to me (this holds true for the web version too). While it could look a little sexier, Good Todo is true to its aim of bringing sanity and simplicity to your inbox and your to-do list.
