Good Todo 4+

I've tried MANY todo apps but Good Todo is the one I've stuck with. Everyday I find myself using it and getting things done. The online version has a clean minimalist look which I really appreciate. The iPhone/iPod Touch app isn't quite as attractive, and lacks some of the features the online version has such as the ability to search todos. I also wish the app allowed for a simple way to create subtasks (don't need subtask counts, etc.) as I find it extremely helpful when I can break larger tasks/projects down into manageable "next steps" but still keep them all together, and I like the feeling of checking things off each step of the way when working on a larger project. Tags would be nice too as they would help minimize the number of categories I have to create.

Having said all that, I really do like the simplicity of Good Todo, and the clean UI of their online service is a pleasure to use. Perhaps the single greatest edge Good Todo has over most other productivity apps is the ability to forward email directly to a Good Todo account, turning that email into a task on my todo list. While the app doesn't offer every feature I want, I readily confess that I use it every day and it's working for me! Mark Hurst, developer and author of Bit Literacy, is committed to ensuring his customers have a "good experience" when they use his products. His prompt and courteous responses to customer queries earns Good Todo 5 stars!

I tried Good Todo online and wanted to love it, the simplicity and underlying coherent data structure of the system shows a thinking mind behind it - after reading Bit Literacy I was hooked! I tried the trial online, but just couldn't get past having to read it in my iPhone browser and sadly went back to my "good-enough todo" app.

After my mother read Bit Literacy she made me go back and look at Good Todo with her. I said it was perfect, except for the lack of an iPhone app... and there on the website was their new APP!

I have been using it for a couple weeks, got a full subscription (worth every cent!), and now actually have a system for my todo's that really works!! My husband can even email me todo's! I can't believe how many things I've gotten done this week because I actually can look at my list without trepidation and procrastination!

I do hope that they make it so you can add categories in the app (right now it seems to be only online), and I haven't figured out how to delete a todo, but that might be me.... but they have been rapidly improving things in this new version, so I'm not going to say that changed my rating... the underlying structure is so good that details of features being worked on just doesn't matter.

Overall, there is no fancy feature of other todo apps that beat this well organized, clean, easy to look at, easy to use system!

GoodToDo is the first of many todo apps that I actually stick to using. It's use of email and start date instead of due date is the smartest and most efficient way to manage tasks. At least the one that works best for me. Now with the iPhone app, the product is finally complete.
