TickTick:To-Do List, Calendar for PC and Mac

Software Reviews and Criticism

• By Fathom_2010

  Pretty good

  I’ve used a variety of digital and paper planners. I have to say, tick tick is the best I’ve come across so far. I think there is a powerhouse of features under the hood and a fair amount of customizable themes as well. It keeps the overall app fresh, plus there are regular updates. I was originally using Nirvana app (GTD method) for my to do lists and whatnot, but have now started creating those lists in tick tick. While some of the more fine tuned aspects of Nirvana get lost, the functionality (for me) is about the same. I like that I can have my lists and planner all in ONE app. Very convenient. I also have to say, the option to attach files to any planner event is a lifesaver. Gone are the days looking for an email to provide me some info on an event. Now I screen shot the email (or anything) and can instantly attach it. The only things I would ask be improved are adding the premium dark theme that’s on the iphone and ipad to the desktop version. Also, on the iphone app you can press and hold to arrange your daily tasks in month view. I wish this feature was also available on the desktop version for month view. Aside from these minor issues, it’s a wonderful app and worth the cost.

  THE Perfect App

  I never write reviews, but I have been using TickTick for at least two years (maybe more?) and it just keeps getting better and better. Everytime I turn around, there's some subtle, *incredibly useful* feature added, and the pricing is totally reasonable, best investment I've made for my personal productivty. I honestly don't know how they manage to fit everything they have into this app, when so many other apps have at least glaringly inadequate element. But with TickTick, everything they add is just so darn thought-out and it fits seemlessly into the app and is just so intuitive... it's incredible. TickTick shines with its flexibility - there are a few features that I know are really popular for various types of productivity that I personally don't use all the time (KanBan view, Pomo timer) but that are not obstrusive at all so I can set up and use the app just the way *I* want to, without the app developers beating me over the head with how they think I should organize my life and work. Again, great, great work guys, please keep it up and don't ever go away!!!

  A Marvelous Task Manager

  I made the switch from Wunderlist and TickTick made it perfectly easy with the import feature. I was nervous about making the switch, but it was very smooth and comfortable. I’ve tried and tested many other task mangers and they've all fallen short of specific features to make a perefect to-do list for me to use. TickTick is the winner! It has many options and I love using it to keep my work life in much needed order. TickTick seems very stable and the friendly dev team seems to be constantly working to add more features and fixing bugs. Suggestions: It would be great for the description list area to open up in a new, smaller window for a cleaner working environment. Also, the ability to change themes on the Windows would be awesome. This was one thing that I was excited about when making the annual payment but then I became disappointed after installing the app. A task progress bar or visualization would be nice as well.

  Great App

  So far I've really liked TIckTick. I mainly got it for the pomodoro feature, but adding tasks is simple and intuitive too. One thing that would be nice would be to track pomodoro progress across devices. When I'm taking a break it would be nice to get the notification that it's over on my phone if I'm away from my computer, for example. Also being able to see my number of pomodoro's across the day if I switch devices would be convenient. But these are pretty minor gripes.

  Excellent clean task organizer of medium-high power, lacks some advanced features

  TickTick is a very nice and clean implementation of a GTD-inspired task organizer. It supports a sufficiently advanced task organization model where tasks could have subtasks and projects could be organized into one-level of folders (playing the role of areas in Nirvana and other GTD tools). It also has necessary tags to support other kinds of organization. With that it is two levels above basic tools with flat list of projects like Microsoft todo or Google Tasks and one level above tools with flat list of tasks as Nirvana and could be be used by people with reasonably advanced needs. The tool is a bit less advanced in "engaging" part of GTD that is critical to pick up next task to work on. It does have several views, search, and vital "smart views", but lacks several other ways offered by "true GTD" tools like Web-based FacileThings or Nirvana. Yet, if you want a tool with a good Windows client that could sync with a mobile app, TickTick is as strong as you could find for medium-high needs. It lacks just a few advanced features that you could find in Todoist like hierarchical project organization, but comes with a bit lower price and a bit cleaner interface. If your organizational need is not super challenging, it will support you in full.
