1. Why are you using Toodledo instead of other products?
Work methodology is very personal. Toodledo allows me to adapt the tool to my preferences. 2. What benefits have you found with Toodledo and how has it impacted your productivity? Most task managers are way to simple if it comes to more than just handling a couple of reminders. Toodledo has for me the right mix of simplicity and richness of features. 3. What are your favorite features? Folders, stars, repetition from close date, habits. 4. What's your typical Toodledo use case? Go through my list of tasks each morning (with dedicated filters) and star those, which I'm going to work on during the day. Also, please include: 1. Your first name: Volker 2. What industry (and company, if possible) you work for: Fintech 3. Your job title: Head Corporate IT 4. How long you've been a user: a couple of years |

Hi Sam,
I have been using Toodledo for 4 years with the Gold subscription and I am very satisfied: I can testify that Toodledo is simple, powerful and reliable (always available on the web and on my iPhone and I have never seen a bug). I am the Export Technical Manager of a software company in France with 60 distributors in Europe, Africa, Middle-East, Canada and Polynesia. I am in charge of presales support, software translation (18 languages), qualification of the international functional requirements, technical communication and documentation database administration on the web. I use Toodledo from the web browser of my PC at work, from my personal PC at home, and on my personal iphone (iPhone 4S last year, and iPhone 8 Plus this year). Most of the time, I use Toodledo on my iPhone. i have just bought the new iPad 9.7'' and installed Toodledo: nice :-). I have 1600 tasks in Toodledo: 900 professional tasks, 400 private tasks (Tag=perso), 300 reference tasks (nothing to do, but interesting for the future). 1. Why are you using Toodledo instead of other products? Because Toodledo can do exactly what I need. 4 years ago, I evaluated more than 10 To-Do List Apps: Toodledo was the best app for my requirements. Last month I evaluated the last releases Omnifocus 3.0, Things 3.6 and Todoist 11.7 on my iPhone: Toodledo is still the only software which perfectly matches my requirements, with a simple and powerful interface. 2. What benefits have you found with Toodledo and how has it impacted your productivity? I never forget a task and I know exactly what my clients asked me and the progress of each of their requests. I am often overworked but I can manage my priorities and I am never under the water. I can also see the evolution of my number of tasks and the total estimated lengths (durations), which is very useful to see when I need resources to help me. 3. What are your favorite features? I use the "Location" field but I do not use it for geographic locations : I enter the names of my distributors in this field and I can follow-up the tasks requested by each of my distributors (I have less than 100 distributors, which is the maximum of locations in Toodledo). When I assign a task to somebody or when I am waiting for an answer, I enter the person’s name in the Context field (with Status = Waiting or Status = Delegated) I use the following fields for the tasks: - Star (Work today or very important) - Priority (Top = work this week, High = this month, Medium = this quarter, Low = this year, Negative = reference or more than one year) - Status (Next Action, Active, Planning, Delegated, Waiting, One day, Reference) - Due date - Due time - Start date - Start time - Goal (LIFELONG GOALS = my private life, LONG-TERM GOALS = long-term professional goals, SHORT-TERM GOALS = short term professional goals) - Folder (my domains of professional and private responsibilities or interest) - Context (@Office, @ProPC_Presales, @ProPC_Translations, …, @Home, @HomePC_Family, … , @Errands, ...) - Location (a few real locations and my clients' names) - Alarm - Length - Tag I like the “Length” field (= estimated duration) on each task: When I can see that “Total estimated Lengths” = 20 hours tomorrow, or 80 hours in the Next 7 days, I immediately know that I must postpone some tasks. All my emails are received in Outlook and, when I can see a task in an email which cannot be processed immediately, I forward the email to Toodledo (I change the subject of the email to get a clear task in the subject, and the email body is the note of the task in Toodledo). If I can see several tasks in an email, I send several emails to Toodledo (one per task with the task name in the subject). 4. What's your typical Toodledo use case? All the tasks of my professional and private life are followed-up with Toodledo. Best wishes, Philippe This message was edited Aug 04, 2018. |

I loved Biggity007's article touting "ToodleDo's super powers".
Had not thought to use the Start Date functionality but was using recurring tasks and setting things a week (or whatever) early to give me the time I needed to act on them. Why I am using Toodledo instead of other products is that I love the iPhone app, love the combination of Folders, Context, tags and location for sorting and think it is great value for money! Add in the Notes, Outlines, Lists and Goals and I have a life management system in my pocket that I can access from my work computer - or any computer if I don't want to hit my phone battery! Have looked at others, none measure up. Cannot recall how many years I have been a Toodledo user now, but what I do know is that one of the signs I am getting overwhelmed is that I am NOT using Toodledo! Whenever that happens, it is time to stop, take stock and get things back on track - and Toodledo helps me to do that. This message was edited Aug 05, 2018. |

I can't imagine a day without Toodledo. I love the flexibility it offers me- I can use it a simple place to jot reminders or as a project manager for my most complex projects. The ability to easily filter by context enables me to easily compartmentalize my tasks and focus on what has to be done at any given time and place (Ex. I walk into the hardware store and pull up Hardware.) I also have a lot of fun with the statistics page to evaluate if I am using my time wisely, how I am doing at clearing old tasks, what do I need to streamline or delegate, etc. I've never seen a similar feature on other platforms.
In addition to the task manager I love the ability to keep notes, lists, outlines and habits all in one place. I am an app junkie and have tried virtually all the similar products but for as long as I can remember I keep coming back to this one as it is the one that makes me most productive.

RE/MAX Real Estate Realtor® Toodledo user for about 9 years 1. Why are you using Toodledo instead of other products? I use Toodledo because of the front-end elegance. By entering simple information, you drive significant back-end intelligence. There's nothing better than simple UI and powerful results. 2. What benefits have you found with Toodledo and how has it impacted your productivity? Toodledo has helped my type-A personality become a type-A+ when it comes to organizing and keeping my business on track. Many Realtors® hire assistant to do what I do in software. My productivity is miles ahead of even my stiffest competition because I leverage Toodledo. 3. What are your favorite features? The fact that Toodledo will automatically rank what tasks are most important to do is the best feature. It intelligently looks at the amount an activity a particular task has seen and will push you to finish it by having it at the top of the list. 4. What's your typical Toodledo use case? I use Toodledo to do one thing, manage a real estate transaction from start to finish. From the day I get a client engaged with a transaction to the day it closes, Toodledo organizes each step.

I have been using Toodledo for a number of years. It is the best Task management product I have used on the internet and on my IOS devices. I am embarassed to say I have bought and used almost every task management App the Apple store offers and some Android versions and even Blackberry products. Toodledo works and will help anyone keep track of hundreds of tasks and projects.
Favorite features are: Able to put in all the tasks with multi task entry and not have to do one task at a time. The notes field is very helpful I like being able to see the entire description of the task Seamless syncing of all my devices - computers, iPad, IPhone (newest devices) Readability Hotlist and being able to Star items How easy it is to use folders and tag the items Contexts are great Sorting is a breeze from many different perspectives I highly recommend Toodledo! My name is John I am a Vice President of Human Resources My industries have been High-Tech and Healthcare. I have been a user for 10 years I think. |

Why do I use toodledo?
I have tried many many other tools before zero-in on toodledo. Its simply gets the job done. I plan day(s) earlier. So when I wake up every morning, I know exactly what I have to get done on any given day. Features I like - which no other single tool has: > repeatable tasks - repeatable by so many criteria - i am amazed. no other tool has this kind of flexibility > available on android > syncs accurately between devices - such a huge boon. So many other tools have sync issues. > custom selection of columns and column length in a view - so super useful. no other tool has this feature. > facility to input and sort by multiple criteria - location, goals, name priority. > fields - all fields are useful and well thought out. > batch editing - so very useful. again a unique feature of this tool > overall toodledo keeps it simple though its feature rich. Features I want to see in the future: > manual sorting of tasks - maybe within a day. > a postpone feature on the drop down of a task - which can postpone the task to a later time during the day. > Two fields: time+date field and a duration field: to be added to outlines which will help outlines also behave like tasks. So a large project with many sub tasks can be written as an outline, dates set to sub tasks, duration set to subtasks in the outline without interfering with routine tasks. Humans have routine tasks (buy eggs) and those that form a sub-task in a large project (do UI design of X screen and such) So adding these fields to outlines will help a lot. > A unified dashboard which will let me see tasks, habits, outlines - due for the day, for a week, for a month, overall. > attachment feature in outlines which will help attach images and documents to outline subtasks.

I use Toodledo exclusively for work. (I choose to use other solutions for my personal life as it helps me keep home and work quite separate.) I'm a writer/editor responsible for at least one, sometimes two, 32-page books each week and, as you can imagine, the editorial and production schedules overlap. Through folders, tasks and subtasks, Toodledo allows me to keep track of each publication with ease and prevents things falling through the cracks.
In particular, I love that I can assign an estimated duration to each task and that Toodledo will provide a total at the bottom of the list: this allows me to know exactly how much work I've scheduled and to adjust if I've been too optimistic about what I can achieve in any given day (or week)! This particular feature was an instant winner when I first tried Toodledo. And while some might say that the "optics" aren't very pretty, I actually appreciate that Toodledo is compact and functional and allows a lot of information to be viewed and assessed. There are prettier apps, sure, but they don't necessarily give you a good overview of your tasks or let you sort or manage them with flexibility and ease. One feature that I enjoy very much although I don't implement it that often, is the Scheduler Tool. It's kind of fun as well as useful to tell it that I have, say, 2 hours in the office and see what it proposes I work on :) Disclaimer: I'm still using the old/classic interface. I gave the new interface a decent trial, but I found it frustrating to use, especially when it comes to date selection in the calendar view, so I've switched back.

I have used Toodledo for a long time also. I left and came back.
Toodledo gives the ability to control all the fields and has maintained the simple layout for a long time. May not be the sexiest, but very functional. I would like to see three things: 1) Ability to create my own "views". For example, the "hotlist" of items, I would like to create one based on tags/folders, etc. 2) It would be great if each view maintains it's own sort order. For example, I would like to see the Hotlist by category but the folder tasks by date. Now, each time I switch I have to re-org the view. 3) I would like to see 1 + 2 on the phone app and what get's displayed on the widget. This message was edited Aug 07, 2018. |

Ad 2) - you can enable saving sort order per view in settings - Tasks/Behavior Preferences. Does that not work for you?

I have been using Toodledo for many years not sure how long. I use it because syncing calendars and sorting out work and personal To Do's was not easy. I want it all in one place and I want to use it on my phone in a readable format. This is the best product I have found to do the job. I don't need to keep looking around, it works for me.

In your response, please answer:
1. Why are you using Toodledo instead of other products? When I was looking for a To Do app/website I tried quite a few but Toodledo just worked for me. I think it's the number of fields that can be added in to the task list. Lots of options and the ability to hide the ones that I don't use is great. It keeps my tasks page neat and tidy. I have tried using Notes, lists and Habits sections but they haven't really worked for me. 2. What benefits have you found with Toodledo and how has it impacted your productivity? The Tasks section is how I order all my work and life tasks. I put everything in Toodledo and then I can forget about it. It's the first page I open every morning. I think it has made my brain more tidy as I know everything is in Toodledo. 3. What are your favorite features? I like the notes section for each task and the ability to have attachments. I like the number of field options and the ability to use or hide them. The different ways to order tasks is helpful. I like the fact I can have it on all my devices. 4. What's your typical Toodledo use case? I use it for work to keep track of everything I need to do for each contract I'm working on. I then use it as a general to-do list for home. I also put in future tasks up to a year in advance as reminders. Also, please include: 1. Your first name Dulcie 2. What industry (and company, if possible) you work for Public Health Consultancy 3. Your job title Director 4. How long you've been a user 5 years |

1. Why are you using Toodledo instead of other products?
I tried Google Keep, Wunderlist, Trello and few other to-do organizers. Finally, I came back to Toodledo. The reason I like toodledo is that it offers a lot of customizing options for free with a very simple layout. It is available on mobile and desktop platforms. The tasks could be synced with my google calendar. I get location-based alerts. 2. What benefits have you found with Toodledo and how has it impacted your productivity? I dump the list of things to do in my mind on to toodledo and it helps me sort through the clutter every day. 3. What are your favorite features? Repetitive tasks Organizing by context, tags Location-based alerts 4. What's your typical Toodledo use case? I keep separate notes for Work and Personal life. I enter whatever I have in my mind on to Toodledo, and prioritize it every day. Also, please include: 1. Bharathi Selvaraj 2. Oil & Gas 3. Senior Software Engineer 4.

first name: Katherine
industry: Theatre and Opera job title: Freelance Stage Manager been a user: 5+ years 1. Why are you using Toodledo instead of other products? It works better for me than anything else, and no one matches Toodledo's cross-platform access, syncing and offline options. I've tried many other systems--Google Tasks, Wunderlist, OmniFocus, Trello, Todoist, Remember the Milk, Any.Do, Workflowy, Habitica, todo.txt, org-mode, MyLifeOrganized, Astrid, Taskwarrior, ThinkingRock, paper planners--but always came back to Toodledo because of its customization, extensive feature set and reasonable pricing. 2. What benefits have you found with Toodledo and how has it impacted your productivity? I keep all my tasks in one place and can access them from anywhere. It gives me peace of mind that I won't lose track of anything. Being able to choose which functions I find useful and keep the others out of sight reduces mental and visual clutter. 3. What are your favorite features? I use Tasks as my main to-do system. My favourite features are folders, tags and saved searches. I also like flexible repetition criteria, ability to add or remove functions, sorting and filtering, and batch editing. I ignore the features and functions I don't find useful but am glad I could add them back if I wished. 4. What's your typical Toodledo use case? I use Ultimate To-Do List on my Android and BlackBerry phones, 2Do on my MacBook Pro, TaskUnifier on my Linux laptop in situations without network access, and the website everywhere else. I use folders, tags and due dates to organize my tasks and prioritize today's tasks with stars. In addition to folders for long-term goals and areas of my personal life, I make a folder for each show I work on and use tags to sort or search tasks by location/equipment and department/people. I use tasks with attached notes for delivering "notes" (theatre parlance for information like corrections or safety concerns) during rehearsals and performances, and checking off that they've been given. * * * How do we send you a photo?

Hi Sam,
In your response, please answer: 1. Why are you using Toodledo instead of other products? This is the only tool I'm willing to spend the time and effort to update. Because it's easy to add, update, categorize, and filter tasks. Very customizable. I like that I'm not tied to hours of the day like a day planner but can still assign due dates and times if needed. 2. What benefits have you found with Toodledo and how has it impacted your productivity? I can remember everything I need to do and when I need to do it-- even if I don't do it. Yes, Toodledo even helps me manage my procrastination. 3. What are your favorite features? Being able to use Context and other filters to completely separate my work, personal, side business, and birthdays. 4. What's your typical Toodledo use case? Helps me remember and track tasks at work. Projects at home. And birthdays. It's the second thing I check (after emails) when I get to work and the last thing I check and update before I leave work. Also, please include: 1. Your first name Jonathan 2. What industry (and company, if possible) you work for Airline Industry 3. Your job title Systems Engineer 4. How long you've been a user Paid user since 2010 |
