What do you like best about Todoist?
Here's what I liked the most about Todoist:
1. NLP: I have tried hundreds of to-do list apps, and Todoist has the best Natural Language Processing abilities. It can even understand complex commands, like recurring events.
2. Interface: I love the UI and UX of Todoist. It's minimalist and does its job well without cluttering the app with countless unwanted features. Plus, it's bug-free. I never found any single instance when the app never worked.
3. Flexibility: You can customize Todoist as much as you like. In my early days of using Todoist, I followed the "Eat That Frog" methodology but later switched to the classical GTD. Plus, templates make the switch a lot more hassle-free and straightforward.
4. Motivation: You earn Karma points to motivate you to work more towards your goals. Although they are useless, they are still worth a try.
5. Integrations: Todoist is well integrated with most essential apps, like Outlook, your browser, Calendar and so on. These features make adding tasks a breeze.
6. AI features: Although it's still in its infancy, Todoist comes with AI features that suggest how you can proceed with the task. Not a part that I use personally, but it works decently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Todoist?
Here's what I don't like about Todoist:
1. Flexibility: Yes, it's a con for some users like me. Having too many options can indeed be overwhelming. Plus, the learning curve gets high.
2. Paywall: Todoist has hidden even the basic features like notifications behind a paywall. There's no option for a trial as well.
3. Pricing: Todoist's pricing is on the steeper side, as compared to the competition. Most features stated, like Karma points and AI, are useless for an average user. It's like taking a or nothing plan.
4. Geared towards teams: The personal plan is geared more towards the group. There are options for comments, selecting members on the Kanban board, etc. Most of them can be turned off, but why are these turned on in the first place, considering that I have opted for a personal plan?
5. Lack of essential features: There's no built-in calendar, no habits, no Pomodoro, etc. At least a built-in calendar is crucial in a to-do list app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
