How we grade them
| 3.4GPAMy TasksVery good | 3.2GPATasks: To Do List & RemindersVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | APremium is $19.99 a year, or $2.99 monthly, and a lifetime purchase is $39.99. All three undercut the usual to-do subscription. It buys cloud sync and backup, shared tasks, the AI assistant and the OCR scanner. | APremium is $1.99 to $2.49 a month, or $19.99 to $24.99 a year, as the US App Store lists two prices for each. Even the higher one is under what to-do apps typically start at. It buys sync, cloud backup, shared lists and the web app. Lifetime is $69.99. |
| Free plan and trial | AUnlimited tasks, sub-tasks, notes, checklists, calendar events, reminders and repeating tasks, free and with no ads. Plenty of people could stop there. What you don't get is sync, so each device keeps its own list. | BFree with no ads: lists, sublists, tasks, subtasks, reminders, alarms and widgets. That's a good start. But tags stop at 3, and restoring a manual backup needs a donation or Premium, so the safety net isn't really free. |
| Features | ATasks with sub-steps, reminders, repeats, categories and tags. A notes editor, checklists you can drag into order, and a calendar in day, week and month views. Five widgets and a fingerprint or face lock too. Premium adds sharing and an AI assistant. | BColor-coded lists split into sublists, subtasks, priorities, recurring reminders you can snooze from the notification, a calendar view and a widget. Premium adds lists shared by link. Solid basics. But the listing shows no integrations, so nothing flows in from email or a calendar. |
| Ease of use | BWe have no App Store rating on record, so a B is as high as we go. No account is needed to start, and it works with no connection at all. Sign-in only comes up if you want cloud backup or sharing. | BSimple by design: make a list, drag things around, tick a task off from its notification. It's an app you install and use. There's no rating on record to go by, so it stops at a B. |
| Platforms and integrations | CAndroid and iPhone, and that's it. There's no web or desktop app, and nothing on record that connects it to other services. Getting your phone and tablet to match needs the premium cloud backup. | BAndroid, iPhone and iPad, plus a web app on Premium. But the iPhone app was announced in July 2026, needs iOS 26 or later and is still below version 1.0. There's no desktop app and no integrations. |
| Best for | a free phone to-do app that needs no account | a simple, ad-free to-do list on Android |
