Ugh, I just need to make a grocery list, not join a timeshare. This app is overcomplicated and requires a username, password , annoying ads, and complicated setup. I wanted to make a grocery list I would have with me at home and at the store, not one to send me text messages and reminders that I need to get a few things. I get to the store when I get there, this app sending me reminders won't get me there any faster. I found an app on play store that is just lists, no DNA sequencing required.

IMO it is a great hybrid between a simple list/notes creation tool and a complex project management tool. Being able to separate everything into categories(lists), have deadlines....or not, and having the ability to add layers like sub tasks and notes to an individual task all while keeping a feel of a task list. It suited my needs perfectly. I no longer needed a task list on paper and reference a project tool for more details.

I initially thought with the different options it may be helpful however its a bit confusing. To avoid seeing all the items you want to purchase you need to filter however then ypu hace to go back and forth between the two list. I would like to write all the items i buy and select from that list the items i want to buy and the schedule i want to purchase them on. Without seeing the entire list.

Searched for free reminder app and this came up. Went through creating an account and installing it to find out there are no reminders or notifications, which is the entire point of a "reminder" app. The free version is a colossal waste of time. I can write a list in notepad and achieve the same effect.

Update, I am back to using it. I like the functionality. I like it. Been using it for a few years. Wish there was more flexibility in printing. Stopped using it for a year, tried some others but they didn't work for me. I came back yo it and love the new foremat. Doing things on it are far more intuitive tgan before. Doing thingd ste much faster and easier. really like it, simple but powerful.

I have used RTM regularly since 2013, and it has only gotten better. I am also an Evernote user, and integration wth that app is a HUGE plus. I can use the two apps together to schedule and track home maintenance events for our house, lawn equipment, and workshop machinery, and link back from the scheduled task in Remember the Milk to detailed instructions stored in Evernote. I just keep finding new uses! [My 2013 review: Does most of what I want. Need to be able to assign a time of day for

Remember the milk is helping me keep focused on what needs to get done. Being able to add notes, paticular references to links I'm using to accomplish the task, and which files have needed info. Also great as a reminder od things I have started, but got destracted from finishing. People are noticing my boost in productivity. And I know where to go to get my reminders.

Great potential, but it's not clear how to set up notifications or anything. Only shows symbols and no labels, so I'm playing a guessing game on how to do it, and if I guess wrong, it backs out of the reminder completely. The only place I want to get notifications is the only place I'm not getting it. Make it more user-friendly if you want to increase your app usage.

2/25/22: App suddenly started crashing on opening. I downloaded the latest update and it worked...for about 15 seconds and then crashed. It's back to crashing as soon as it opens. Giving it 4 stars since this is the first time in years I've had any problems. Update: removing and reinstalling worked. No problems since.

Have had this app for so long, and love it. You can filter, sort and group tasks within a list, and across lists. The grouping feature is something I have not been able to find in any other app. Tasks due this week across all my lists grouped by list, or grouped by due date, or grouped by tags. You simply can't do this with todoist. 4 stars instead of 5 because the Google calendar integration is not as good as todoist. Changes can take up to 24 hours to reflect on goal.

It's a lovely "task manager", but it's no substitute for Wunderlist. If you make, say, a shopping list, it takes multiple steps to check off the items. And checked off items disappear after 7 days in the free version. I used WL as my weekly shopping list. You could easily go through the checked off items and uncheck them to add them back to the list. RTM will not save me time at all.

The reminder part only works if you buy the pro version for $40. Just a basic reminder should be free. If you want multiple reminders, different types of reminders, etc then I understand charging. But a basic-one time-pop up on my screen reminder on a to-do list should be included in a free app, otherwise a free to do list app is useless. There are a lot of apps that provide that for free so I'm deleting this one. I'm sure if you have a complicated schedule and need an intricate app this would be fine. But for basic reminder it isn't worth it.

I was looking for a Checklist App comparable to "Paperless" since I couldn't find that one for Samsung. This app has worked well for me for both shopping lists and "to do" lists. It is user friendly and easy to get used to. However, I wish the "Completed" items would not disappear. I wish they would change color or be crossed out and go to the bottom. I often purchase the same items and complete the same tasks, and it would be nice to just uncheck them when I needed to complete them again.

Very clear and simple. Love that it syncs to computer app, even though the 1-day delay is there for the free version. They did a great job and I recommend it to a lot of colleagues. 4 stars instead of 5 because there are some features that would be nice if they came with the free version (e.g., subtasks) But overall very satisfied and happy with it! ... 3 years later and still loving it.

Best Task Manager software I've ever used. I wrote that in 2016, and it's still true in 2023. I liked it so much I decided to go Pro. Pro price seemed steep when I first made the investment, but like Amazon Prime, once you spend the money you realize it was worth it and you'd never go back to basic. This is a completely subjective comment, but 'Remember the Milk' is an almost childish name for such a professional, robust piece of software. Time for some rebranding? RTM, Real Task Management? :)

As a busy working mom, I love that I can separate tasks into categories like errands for family, work tasks, and educational tasks to better my job skills. I can look at them separately or all together, rate tasks by priority, and set deadlines or leave things open. It's also great to quickly jot down fleeting thoughts when I'm supposed to be focused on something else. Plus it syncs across all my devices...awesome.

Google replaced Calendar Reminders with Tasks. Uncompleted Tasks don't roll forward, but they do in Remember The Milk, which is what I want. A Task can be set up to repeat on pretty much any criteria you can think of. There are standard lists of Tasks and you can create your own lists. You can also create your own Smart Lists, for tasks that meet the criteria you specify. All this comes standard in the free version. The Pro version is $40 PER YEAR. Expensive! I thoroughly recommend this app.

After using the free version of this tool for more than three years. I now can't open the app without it crashing. I an still unccessful at opening the app. I will have to find another application to use. I guess it was good as long as it lasted. Update: Uninstall the app and reinstall fixed the app functionality. I also didn't lose any data. I'm back in business.

7/20 update. For some reason I can no longer receive list items shared by others. I can still send things but when I accept any items from others they never appear on my list. Removed a staras a result. Have sent emails asking for help... No response. /// Confusing at first, wish the share feature required less menus. It's also hard to figure out whether someone else finished an item.

I love it! Works so well for my brain. I don't get overwhelmed by all the tasks on my list because I can organize them in to different lists then set the due date and only the ones for today will appear on my "today" task list that I operate from. I love that I can name my lists unlike some of grocery apps out there. And an item can be on more than one list. I can also make a task recurring. With this app I can also track my dogs seizures easily. Wish I had found this years ago.
