Toodledo is pretty...

I wanted to retain my methodologies but nothing really fit that well. The closest I've ever gotten is OmniFocus which is a decent enough app but it is horribly expensive, fairly bloated, has a less than stellar and overly busy GUI\UX, and never quite fit the way I wished it did. Last week, I stumbled upon Toodledo and while completely skeptical, I nonetheless decided to push through and see what was what - and I'm so very glad I did. I can seriously say that if I had the time and resources to build something just for myself, Toodledo would damn near hit the mark 100%. Maybe there would be some very minor things I would have tweaked differently - but then again, maybe I wouldn't - this app really is an amazingly good fit for the way I think and handle tasks. I mention all this because, while nothing says appreciation more than a purchase (which I did), I figure it's also nice to hear. So to the developers - thank you for an awesome job on this awesome product. And also know I will tell as many folks as I can about Toodledo with the hope that we grow your user base as much as possible so you folks stay more than busy and have more than enough $$$ to keep this thing going. Thanks again so much for building a great thing... This message was edited Jan 17, 2014.
