Comments on: Battle Of Todo List Websites and Apps http://applemachq.com/2009/12/27/battle-of-todo-list-websites-and-apps/ An Apple blog for the rest of us Sun, 29 Apr 2012 23:13:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Raj http://applemachq.com/2009/12/27/battle-of-todo-list-websites-and-apps/comment-page-1/#comment-2438 Raj Thu, 28 Jan 2010 19:35:03 +0000 http://applemachq.com/?p=963#comment-2438 Great review. I've tried many of these and they all have their strengths. In general, if you're a Google app user (Gmail, GCalendar, etc) then the minimalist GeeTasksPro is very useful. I prefer to keep my eggs in one basket so to speak, instead of spreading myself around different apps, so GeeTasksPro works well for me as a Google app user. Apart from that, I highly recommend Toodledo. Of about 5 GTDs I've tried, this one works well out of the box, is very reasonably priced, has a free online webpage that syncs with the iPhone app and the iPhone app itself is very customizable. ToDo is the runner-up, and pioneers a way to sync with iCal's ToDo's which is great. The learning curve was steeper than Toodledo however, which led me back to the former. In the end, I settled with GeeTasks because it seems to be the only app so far to sync with Google's Tasks. Great review.

You also need the Mac client to get your items from the iPhone to the Mac, and at $50 that's a little more than what I want to spend. I liked RTM, but I'm going to give Google Tasks a good try this year. I agree that it's simplistic, but for free I'm willing to give it a thorough testing.

I wish it would at least sync over-the-air instead of on Wi-Fi only. Things is great. I wish it would at least sync over-the-air instead of on Wi-Fi only.

It's hard to make a decision. "Things" looks great but doesn't sync to a website. But it has one or two excellent features I don't see anywhere else. I'm trialling RTM at the moment but don't feel entirely comfortable in it. Should learn about it a bit more I suppose. Finally, would like to use Google Tasks as I'm often in GMail, but it seems a bit simplistic. Nice post. It’s hard to make a decision. “Things” looks great but doesn’t sync to a website.
