Among the reviews analyzed, recurring praise focused on Todoist's flexible task capture, natural-language entry, and cross-platform access. Complaints often concerned subscription limits, synchronization, and recurring-task behavior. Official plan documentation shows that the free tier includes labels, priorities, recurring dates, and automatic reminders for tasks with a date and time. Pro adds calendar layout and richer reminder options. The free version therefore provides a meaningful foundation, while students needing advanced planning controls may prefer Pro. Review reports of bugs should be treated as sampled experiences rather than guarantees about current reliability.
What users like
Easy task capture with natural language Users consistently praise the ability to type or speak tasks with dates, times, and recurrence, which the app interprets automatically. This speeds up capturing thoughts and scheduling without complex menus.
Effective organization into projects, labels, and priorities Reviewers value the flexibility to organize tasks into projects and use labels, priorities, and subtasks to manage complex workloads, including academic and personal projects.
Cross-platform sync and accessibility Many users highlight the ability to sync tasks across Android, iOS, web, and desktop, which is essential for managing tasks on multiple devices. Widgets and Wear OS integration are also appreciated.
Support for recurring tasks and reminders (when available) Recurring tasks are a key feature for routines and habit tracking, and despite some limitations, satisfied users find them reliable for daily, weekly, and custom schedules.
Common concerns
Reminders and notifications are gated behind a paid plan A recurring complaint is that basic reminders and push notifications require a Premium subscription, which many users consider essential for a to-do app and feel should be free or a one-time purchase.
Subscription pricing model and cost Many users find the subscription expensive, especially for individual use, and dislike being forced into a recurring fee instead of a one-time purchase. Price increases have also led to cancellations.
Reliability issues: sync bugs, lost tasks, and crashes A significant number of reviews report tasks not syncing, disappearing, or duplicating, along with app crashes and widgets that fail. These reliability problems erode trust in the app.
Recurring task limitations and bugs Several users struggle with recurring tasks that skip dates, reset incorrectly, or lack flexible options like 'every 2 weeks' or custom weekdays. Some report recurring tasks disappearing entirely.
