What do you like best about Things?

Love the capability to have structure at very granular level from areas to projects down to buckets and checklists. Also there's a great way to for tagging and searching across entries, so there's always an easy way to find what you were looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Things?

There are too few integrations with existing browsers so that you could shoot links directly from browsers to app. For some reason, a quick entry with autofill feature doesn't work with some chromium-based browsers like Sidekick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Things:

I have also used Todoist, but I find Things to be more flexible and user-friendly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Things solving and how is that benefiting you?

Currently, I have a large backlog of Things to do. I used to keep all records across my projects that might be relevant at some point in the future. It's basically a database for me and a go-to system for organizing stuff.

Another way I use it is to organize and plan a project or initiative on-the-fly as needed. As an example, this could be an educational course, a product design sprint, a brainstorm session, or anything with more or less complex structure and several milestones.

What do you like best about Things?

Minimal looks and is clearly integrated with a lot of useful tools. That makes me more productive than ever.

The most thing that I liked of Things is the one minute setup and you can use in every moment of your day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Things?

It's not supported by a platform like Make. That would be so great to allow me create an amazing productive workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Things solving and how is that benefiting you?

Things allow me to be more productive using to-do lists. I've organized my entire work and private areas in Things. I've used the PARA Method and it's something that helps me a lot to drive my results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Things?

Things app comes with a beautiful clean UI and simple philosophy on how to organise your tasks. Just put anything that pops up into your head (even when on the go) into the Inbox and review later. Promised to do something but not sure when - put into Someday. Things will show you what you planned for today, what you have for upcoming days. Not a simple (one-step task)? - Take advantage of a Project setup. Things proves that it shouldn't be complicated (as long as you won't complicate it too much) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Things?

The app is great, but there are some downsides. It comes at a separate price per device type - you have to pay for iOS and Mac app separately and you don't have Android / Windows version. Although the app is great - you can not share your lists / tasks with other persons (your partner / family) and you can't attach files to the tasks (URLs are OK as well as Finder references, but not the files themselves). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Things solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Things to track my day-to-day tasks (not only personal, but also work) and save the list of books, articles I would like to read. I also have a template project that keeps the list of activities to perform when I setup a new Macbook (what steps to do, what apps to install, etc). And of course I use it a lot on the go - each time I have an idea of doing something - I enter it into Inbox (even if it is just an idea). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Things?

I like the simplicity and beauty of the interface. It's extremely simple, intuitive and enjoyable to use Things. I love how it just works and helps me get things done every day. I work as a digital product designer and I find using the app such a joy. The design of the app is beautiful, intuitive and intelligent. I even love watching the introduction video for Things 3. I love being able to buy the software once instead of subscribing and paying way more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Things?

Honestly, I can't say I dislike anything about this app. If I should name one feature I would like, it would be a different kind of visual folder structure, but that's minimal and might even destroy the look of the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Things:

Go on and get Things and never look back. It's the perfect way to manage your tasks in style. It's the most beautiful and user-friendly GTD app I've ever tried, and I've tried a lot of them. I've used apps like Todoist, Trello and more and I was never satisfied until I came across Things and I've been a happy customer ever since. I've even bought the app as a gift for a few friends and relatives that I knew would benefit from it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Things solving and how is that benefiting you?

I live a pretty busy life and I'm always juggling a lot of projects at the same time. But after I got Things I've been able to have oversight over everything I need to do. It's made my life so much easier and my workflow so much more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Things?

The beautiful and streamlined native UI that Things brings to the table makes it incredibly easy to learn and use. Being able to group my tasks into projects and assigning them to today or someday makes my mornings very efficient. Syncing across multiple devices is very useful as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Things?

To be honest, it is really difficult for me to find something to dislike about Things aside from the price point. The software is great, don't get me wrong, but I had a hard time justifying paying $70 CAD for the desktop app and then another $15 CAD for the iOS app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Things solving and how is that benefiting you?

My morning and weekly task management routines are now much more efficient. The "Today" section reminds me what I have to do for the day and allows me to prioritize based on what I have planned and the remaining task categories are useful to keep my workflow optimized.

What do you like best about Things?

Areas help to organize lists and prioritize; Projects allow for lists within each area; Today shows only the items you want to accomplish, getting less urgent items out of the way; Upcoming allows for easy future planning at a glance; Calendar integration puts your day front and center; Seemless cloud syncing between iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Things?

The biggest downfall is the lack of Windows and Android compatibility. This means I can't sync between my personal Apple equipment and my work Windows equipment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Things solving and how is that benefiting you?

I open Things first every morning. I am able to prioritize my list by reorganizing areas and projects. Then, I simply work down the list, checking off items as I go. If something changes, I just drag to rearrange. I have been able to feel less overwhelmed by keeping my "things" in order and moving less urgent items to a new day.

What do you like best about Things?

The user interface and design is excellent, I used dark mode which looks fantastic. The best feature for me is the quick entry. With a keyboard shortcut its very easy to activate. For example, if im on a Microsoft Teams or Zoom call and I am giving tasks to do, I simply use the quick entry shortcut so I can set up tasks easily to add to my to do list. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Things?

When receiving notifications on the mac on the top right corner I wish we could customise the "Options" drop down list when hovering over the notification. Currently when you click on the "Options" drop down list it gives you the choice of selecting "Complete", "Snooze for 10 minutes", "Snooze for 30 minutes" and "Snooze for 1 hour" which are good but if we could add our own for example "Remind me tomorrow morning" or "Remind me in the afternoon" would be very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Things:

If you're looking for an excellent task management system, try out Things. For me its simply brilliant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Things solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before I discovered and started using Things, I was using just a word document to make a list to try and keep track of what tasks I needed to do. It was extremely difficult to track different tasks and deadlines etc as this word document just came a very long list.

Once I started using Things, this no longer was an issue for me. It became a lot easier to stay on top off my tasks and meet deadlines on time and more efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
