Crack down on your Tasks **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chevelle M. | Content Writer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2018 **What do you like best about task cracker?** The thing I like best about taskcracker is how easy it makes it for me to see all of my important emails right off the bat. I don't have to search through them anymore and I don't have to worry about missing out on the important ones or not reading them until days after they have been sent because they are so far down on the list. **What do you dislike about task cracker?** I think the thing I dislike the most is the fact that sometimes I have to mess with the settings when I open outlook because my saved settings didn't get saved. I think it would be better if it was integrated into outlook a little better instead of it being kinda on its own so I wouldn't have to flip screens so much. **Recommendations to others considering task cracker:** This thing is worth it if you want to spend less time surfing your emails and trying to decide which one to get back to. its so easy to get everything organized so your emails don't look so huge. **What problems is task cracker solving and how is that benefiting you?** The problems I have solved is being more productive and know when my emails came in and to have them in the task form lets me know exactly how much more I have to do to complete my daily emails. Also, it helps me to be able to move something further down the week if I don't have to deal with it right away or I have to do more research or I'm making a rude client wait it out a couple of days. ## task cracker Discussions - [What is task cracker used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-task-cracker-used-for) - [View task cracker pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/task-cracker/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-06-04+09%3A35%3A49+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=4f40c738-85fc-42b9-98eb-1aa04738f642&secure%5Btoken%5D=4f90bb7da772486d3ca53a468e3557ee649ef8d304e822ee93f48ad75f7d46c6&format=llm_user) ## task cracker Features **Task Creation** - Creation & Assignment - Due Dates - Drag & Drop - Mass Updates **Task Management** - Task Prioritization - To-Do Lists - Dependencies - Recurring Tasks **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization ## Top task cracker Alternatives - [Trello](https://www.g2.com/products/trello/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (13,646 reviews) - [monday Work Management](https://www.g2.com/products/monday-com/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (14,996 reviews) - [ClickUp](https://www.g2.com/products/clickup/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (12,038 reviews)
