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.

I like it more than I thought I would. Love the illustrations

@frizurd ditto!

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

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.

Very neat app.. Clean design, interface is simple and easy to use. However, I wonder why it ditched away the standard Material Design guidelines. First, the menu is at the bottom (which is great and I ask myself why it hasn’t ever been there at the first place). Second, the button to add a new task is completely different from the standard FOB. Additional note: it froze after I tapped around the app for a while.

@munipandita I’m using the iOS version

@munipandita Even I am surprised why they ditched Material Design in the Google Tasks App. I think design is slightly half-baked.

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.

@raphchabaud We can access an updated web app from the right side bar of the new Gmail. I wonder if there is a way to access that version of Tasks as a standalone. /cc @nivasravi

There are so many To-Do apps.

Pros:

Clean UI

Cons:

why Google Keep ?

Avi
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.
Ohad Ron
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?
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.
Biraj Ghosh
@tostartafire Exactly what I was thinking!..they could have just added subtask to keep
James Young
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'

Pros:

Very simple

Cons:

You can't set time on tasks.

Jessy Grossi
What's the difference with Google Keep?
@jessygrossi I have the same question! - Looks like Google is jumping here and there, launching and closing apps. Google Spaces is a good example, not sure how many are using this.

love the app. does this app have widget in android ? !
Maxim Leonovich

A todo app without widget is an instant no-go

Pros:

Very simple

Cons:

Too simple

Danny Tran
Is this only available to G-Suite users or all users?
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.
Antonio Viggiano
Finally I will stop using Google Keep for my notes!
