A Review of Stylish GTD Apps

[mcogilvie]

Once I learn the ropes I'm keen to try ThinkingRock. I see Tom hasn't reviewed it as it seemed too complex, but it is really more complex than the multi app Toodledo solutions?

I haven't looked at it in a long time, but as I recall t it seemed a bit rigid, and a bit Java-ish, i.e., ugly UI.

Producteev and Wunderlist look good, except they're missing some GTD elements.

I'm using Wunderlist now. There are some small things that could be attended to. I was using Astrid which was quite good. Something made me try Wunderlist again and it's working nicely. I've asked them if we can sort Lists alphabetically or numerically, just so you can find your list quickly and if we can hide lists with no tasks attached and waiting to hear back from them. I have an Android phone, tablet and use Windows at work so need to access the web app.

I also like Any.Do (nice clean interface but probably not really GTD ready) I really must stop playing with software though.

Of course if I had my iPhone I'd be on OmniFocus no question ...

No Windows, no thanks

I love Wunderlist too, I love its UI and simplicity. I use it in a kind of personal kanban manner for my work projects. Which works but I think it lacks tags/contexts for a GTD system.

Producteev now has an updated native android app out there which supports the sub task feature of the web version. It doesn't have the bells and whistles of Astrid but the sync is much cleaner and it does the job well. So far for me it's the closest I've seen to a perfect combination of web app and mobile version to match.

I liked wunderlist as I said above and I like it's interface. I struck what I would call a killer snag last week. Taking notes at an important meeting and then I went and checked another program, calendar I think for an up coming follow up meeting and when I returned to WL, the notes had gone!!

Fast typing ensured to pick up where I had left off ... not very productive. To be fair, not sure if this is WL or Android. But it was a real PITA!

So I am left with a couple of choices:
Any.Do - clean interface, quick entry. Syncing of folders doesn't seem to be working between phone and tablet. Email sent to developer.
Astrid - almost too many entry options but I don't have to use them all.

Of course there is OmniFocus if I go an get an iPhone!

When do you hope to have the round-up done Tom?

Hopefully in the next couple of weeks. This weeks excuse is - the laptops at the repair shop
