Suru : To Do List & Notes for PC and Mac

Software Reviews and Criticism

  I liked it before the limitations and pressure to pay

  I’ve used this app for years, including subscribing to the premium features at times. However, with this last update, you are limited to a very small number of lists unless you pay for premium features. The app is visually appealing and I’m a visual person. It’s also simple to understand and use. But it doesn’t offer much else and doesn’t justify the cost, IMO. And it will not be usual when for most users unless they pay, at this point. (I think there is a limit of four or so lists.) I would be more willing to pay a one-time fee than a monthly or yearly fee. I also read the developers response to a recent complaint and found it very unfriendly and unprofessional. It was sarcastic and while the developer(s) have surely put work into the development of the app, not having understanding or compassion for why a user may be understandably upset at recent changes and responding so unprofessionally (and again, this was just a response I read,) makes me less inclined to support the app as I don’t feel valued as a customer. There are a lot of todo list apps, many with tons more free features and there is nothing so special about this one. I would be happy to update this review if the app changes for the better (ideally with advance notice given to users). Until then; I’ve deleted it.

  I want to give this five stars, however...

  This app is gorgeous and seamlessly brilliant in it’s design. It quickly became my go-to for organizing thoughts! For those with attention-deficit disorders (who might also have a ton of different projects rotating all at once) this app is the bees freaking knees. I love the simplicity of it, but I want to see this app evolve into a one-stop productivity PC! It’s just missing a couple of things that would otherwise make it PERFECT. It would be nice if it had a widget to easily view and cross off tasks. Also, a built in calendar or compatibility with iCal, would be most useful. Especially because this app works on Pc as well; having everything in one place, without having to revert to other apps, would be ideal. Other than that, it’s a great app! If new features are never added, I’ll still use it. However, I’m sure I’m not the only one longing for these additions. 😉

  Upon further review...

  I gave a pretty harsh review about this after a failed iCloud sync apparently caused me to lose a bunch of data. I also forgot to cancel my trial subscription so I decided to give it a second shot and I’m glad I did. I take back what I said since I haven’t been able to replicate the issue since deciding to give it another go. Perhaps it was user error? Who knows This app has everything I’ve been looking for and it makes it easy to find things especially with the color coding. I can’t wait to see where the developers take this! Perhaps a search function?

  I love this app!!!!!! But....

  This app does just about everything I want it to... quick task entry, subtask lists, a beautiful interface, reminders, etc. But for me this app would be perfect if I could drag sub-tasks out of their parent task to add them to the main task list. This would allow me to hide upcoming tasks that I don’t want to see yet and move them out when I’m ready to work on them. And while we’re on the drag and drop option, it would also be nice to be able to do the opposite... drag one task into another so that it becomes a subtask of that task. Other than these niceties, this app really is amazing! Makes it so simple to get things out of your head and into a list where you can plan things out and take meaningful steps to get stuff done!!
