I used the old Sloth app, and liked it so much I kept using it even after it stopped being updated for as long as I could. I only just now discovered this new version of the app and I’m delighted! There are alternatives if you want more complexity, including Flocus and Focus To-Do, but both actually encourage me to procrastinate by being *overly* detailed. This app is perfect, with exactly what I need and no more : to create a personalized and flexible productivity flow over time. I brain dump all my to-dos, order and re-order them as needed, and choose my own task durations. The other thing is that only three tasks are visible at a time, so even if the list is long, it doesn’t stress me out. Three things and move on, three things and move on… Ridiculous to be this happy about discovering this updated version, but there’s I am. It makes such a difference to me.

Smart Sloth brings the functionality of the original Sloth app in to modern Apple devices. This app is invaluable to me. Nothing else works as well, and effortlessly, at quickly running through a list of tasks.

I used the old app for years but switched to this one recently because I thought it would be better. It’s not. Not even with the paid version. When I complete a task and swipe it to move on to the next, it doesn’t start the next task. So I tried putting on the auto advance option. But now it’s glitched out so bad that I can’t use it and can’t turn off the auto advance. It just freezes up. I’ve forced it shut multiple times but it still won’t reset. So frustrating that I paid $5 for something that doesn’t work at all now.

Overall this is a good list for planning a single task list, estimating the time each will take, then fitting the tasks into a schedule. Very few to-do apps I’ve seen do thisSadly, the Pro “upgrade” version I paid for does not add the features promised, like multiple lists. I have a few very different projects I need to manage my time on, and this feature would be useful. But the app just does not provide this “Pro” feature even after paying for it (the app recognizes I paid for it). And multiple emails to the developer have not been returned.
