Not bad, but by no means the best

This is a nice to-do application that’s well crafted in its appearence, but honestly, that’s about as far as it gets for me. Considering the many alternatives, I’m not inclined to drop ~$30 a year to get such fundamental features as reminders and Calendar-integration, or even syncing (no Dropbox or iCloud sync…let’s hope $30/user/yr sustains their sync servers).

The collaborative aspect I didn’t get to try (since I’m not paying the Premium), but if looking at the overall UX of this app, I don’t really see this as having the features necessary to seriously work in participation with others. We use OmniFocus at the office, and I know it has a steep learn curve, but if you’re honestly doing collaborative business, then those features, reporting, and instant syncing are necessary for team projects…OmniFocus has no peer on the Mac side, in this regards.

I look at apps like 2Do, GoodTask, Things, or even Wunderlist, and I see much more value/features…all without paying a yearly subscription. On top of fundamental bugs like this Mac version not syncing unless I change views, and I really don’t see where the love (especially from Apple) comes for this solution. Again, it’s not bad and it certainly works well enough, but it’s nowhere near Best-of-Class and it certainly doesn’t justify $30 of my money every year.
