There are sooo many to-do apps. It's often the default first project for new iOS/Android devs. That said, we're building something in this space at Product Hunt (currently in private beta). 😁 I used to use Google Tasks, which has been integrated into Gmail for years. I'm curious: What to-do app do people use and why?

@rrhoover I like Asana. Clean. Love their UI. True about the to-do apps part. And I still feel no one has cracked it fully.
Srikrishnan Ganesan
@rrhoover Any.do. Wanted a simple experience that I could add tasks to on the go, including via Siri / Google Home
Javier Renzi
@rrhoover I use Todoist, highly recommended. Why? Because I can do everything just writing one line, like categorizing using hashtags, add a deadline and tags
Joseph Wood
@rrhoover - Things 3. Does everything I need and is beautiful. But I love trying any new to-do app that comes along.
Paolo Perazzo
@rrhoover We built one (Kyber) for mobile and then ported natively to Slack. We ended up “killing” the iOS app and keeping exclusively the Slack app as we spend already so much time on Slack that we didn’t another app; plus if you want to manage tasks and projects at the team level I didn’t see any other platform but messaging to drive adoption and usage, as tasks are already exchanged there; they just need to be tracked and organized and switching to an external app is just a productivity killer. Needless to say, I use that for both personal and more importantly team collaboration. I'll be interested to see how deeply Google Tasks integrates with emails, which is a form of messaging.

Nice and slick. Probably some sort of preview for upcoming UI in Android P. But... how are @google not embarrassed that it's not yet possible to add tasks with Google Assistant?

I remember looking for a Google Tasks mobile app back in 2015, only to find nothing good enough. It's finally here, and I can't wait to try it out. 😄

@aviaryan123 True. The Google Tasks on Web sucked. If this integrates to Gmail and Calendar, it would be such a peace.
Avi
@nivasravi Hope they improve the web app too. Would love a PWA with notifications and a cleaner interface.

I was kind of hoping they'd just integrate solid Tasks features directly into the primary Gmail app - especially considering much-appreciated advances in 'tasks from email'

A todo app without widget is an instant no-go

Pros:

Very simple

Cons:

Too simple

For example I use Inbox for personal mail and Gmail for Work as I do not wish to carry around 2 separate devices.

I was hoping to use Tasks specifically for work related todo's however removing my personal email from the selected available accounts removes it from every other google app on my device.

Solution - Removing my personal email from Inbox/Chrome and only having work related emails on any google product

Pros:

Integrates with mail and cal

Cons:

Deleting one gmail email from this app removes it from every other app on your device

Matthew Hansen
We already use Asana, which is this and and outrageous amount of features more. Hopefully this is the beginning of something larger, but no reason to switch until you can do a bit more with it (shared tasks at a minimum).
Andrew Richard
Is completely useless, probably the worst task app have ever used. They need to integrate keep to the app just like inbox and also allow users to set time on tasks.
Adu Wu
Looks nice. But not integrated well with my inbox by Gmail or Google Calendar. Does it suppose to do so?
Dillon Nichols
@adu_wu It's integrated with the new gmail experience, but I don't understand why they didn't tie it in with Inbox.
Ruben Garcia
It has a nice design to it but it's features are extremely limited when you compare it with other GTD/Task/To-do apps out there. Won't replace Todoist anytime soon
Gautham Santhosh

There are so many To-Do apps.

Pros:

Clean UI

Cons:

why Google Keep ?

Alana Russell

Coming clean: I am a Product Manager for GQueues. We've been around for 8 years and have developed a task management app that integrates exclusively with Google Products; Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive. We have repeating task, mobile apps for Android and IOS, sharing, task assignments, etc. etc. Come give us a try - https://goo.gl/VLbbT8

Pros:

Great new UI, but still has the limited features tasks has always had.

Cons:

Lacks collaboration features like sharing and task assignments

Alex Kashin

Thanks to the application on the phone, I began to set tasks more often. I like the connection with the calendar very much. I miss the full web version. Now only the mini-version in the calendar, there is little space.

Pros:

I like the visual design, usability, speed of work and synchronization with Google calendar

Cons:

You can add more sublevels, like in Todoist

Micaela Adams
I do like todoist, but you can't beat Google Tasks for its simplicity. The UI is so simple, letting you focus completely on your tasks. Plus, integrating it with Google Calendar is so easy.
Prabhu Kumaar
Pros : Subtasks & Clean UI Cons : No consolidated view if you have multiple lists, No Repeats, No widgets available for Android, Tasks don't have reminders Hope Google will add these functionalities soon.

Didn’t find anything innovative or interesting here compare to other todo apps with a clean UX and UI

I like it more than I thought I would. Love the illustrations
Raphaël Chabaud
Nice but not usable without the updated web app for me.
Juan Visbal
@raphchabaud It lacks any kind of desktop access that's not directly inside Gmail and G Calendar. Hoping they realize it is not enough.
Dan Dan
but but but.... but google keep?
Muni Perez
@tostartafire it is a different approach, a simple app with just tasks. Keep is too cluttered if you only want a task manager.
