It's wonderful to have the power of ToodleDo/The Ultimate To-Do List when you need it but an app that's easy to pick up when you first start using it will attract and keep the most users over the long term. A lot of users just want simple list-making/list-sharing as found in Wunderlist/MS ToDo as their starting point. I hope the new owners of ToodleDo if they add or change features will keep that it mind. I think a good selling point of both ToodleDo and The Ultimate To-Do List is that you can use these apps as simply or as powerfully as one wants. Some of its features and abilities differ from ToodleDo, like the ability to manually reorder tasks in a list just by dragging them. (Sorry, I haven't tried the Android ToodleDo app it's so clunky, I hardly ever use it).ĭon't know if the Ultimate To-Do List is for sale (to add to the ToodleDo stable) but by far, it is my preferred task management app. ![]() Using Note to Self in Android and the Ultimate To-Do List works reasonably well to add items to ToodleDo via the Ultimate To-Do List but there is too much manual interaction whereas with Wunderlist and the HK Invoke Cortana, you can create both an item and a new list for it to go into at the same time, all verbally. I've set up ToodleDo to get Grocery List items and Shopping List items through IFTTT channels but it's kinda clunky. I'm kinda a "Microsoftie" and I like to be able to set reminders and add tasks to Wunderlist using Harmon-Kardon Invoke Cortana. Haven't read through all the previous posts but besides a dark theme, having a ToodleDo "skill" for each of the various ambient AI assistants might be helpful to many users. :)īoth great app descriptions.If they did that, it's hard to imagine very many complaints. If not, this castle in the air I'm building could get out of hand. I sure hope the new owners weigh-in with their intentions soon. Custom searches are supplanted by predesigned searches. The app has a slightly more generic feel to it by design if you go from one project to another, you can be sure Toodledo Team looks familiar. Users don't have quite as much leeway with the data (for example, completion dates cannot be changed). Users can pick and choose what fields they want, how they're displayed, and can more or less build the app they want, for exactly their own idiosyncratic needs.Īn application designed for team collaboration that has the same UI as Toodledo Solo, but some of the ability to pick and choose fields and reorder their display has been curtailed. Custom searches remain an integral part of the app. Also, the application has been given a freshened-up UI that makes more use of color. Long-standing user requests, such as the ability to change completion dates, are addressed. After reading Jim_Lewis's comment regarding Slack, an app I use and love, and thinking about your comments, I'm beginning to think that perhaps two versions wouldn't be a bad idea, something like the following.Īn application like the Toodledo we all know and love, that maintains the extensive customizability that those of us with OCD can't get enough of. Indeed, I probably overstated the inadvisability of creating two versions of the product. ![]() Personally, my fingers remain crossed but as I said in an earlier post, I think the worst case is that we still have Excel and of course, we can always build anew.hopefully it won't come down to that. Fortunately, I think most of us do agree that we like\love Toodledo and hope it stays in the game. In any event, you and others have your view, I and others have mine.there is some delta which is completely fine. I think it's good to counter that when possible. without really having good data to rely upon. Īnywho.If you've been in tech for any appreciable amount of time, I suspect you'll agree with me when I say folks often like to summarily tear down suggestions\ideas\etc. the economics before the ownership change, what the new owners' goals are, what their economics and\or funding looks like, etc.) to make any assertions - if someone, including you, does happen to have that intel, then please feel free to share. Aside from Jake, Sam, Anant, & Ramon, I don't think anyone on these threads has requisite intel (i.e. What I did do, aside from speculate as to the new owners' motivations and goals, was to pushback against unsubstantiated statements that assert multiple versions is a bad idea. Regardless, I never said the new owners will do multiple versions nor even want to.nor that it even made good business sense vis-a-vis their goals\economics. Of the "problems" you mention I did touch on at a very high level in a very speculative fashion in an earlier post.
