I wouldn't pay the high price for this app, but my work purchased this useless product.

Thanks for sharing a review. I am curious.
What, in your experience, made this application "useless" for you? Without being more explicit, my experience is that the usefulness of your review is diminished, greatly. Ironically, to the point of being useless. But I am sure that wasn't your intention.
Do you care to elaborate?

If you visit the developer's site and visit their Blog you will see that they haven't made an entry since Aug 22nd and they have have switched comments off.

This pretty much says it all.

It's almost Christmas 2011 and we're still waiting for a market-ready cloud sync. They are obviously sick of hearing people complaining about it - hence no ability to leave a comment on their blog.

Really fantastic app, but it is way over priced. They would sell more per unit if price was dropped.

Planner for the iPad. Many developers here make quite a serious mistake, and the iPad application looks like a "bloated" iPhone application, and a lot of space on the "walk". In this case we must "learn" a larger screen iPad with its 10 "diagonal, but in this case - to keep the continuity of the interface with the iPhone version of Task Manager. How to cope with these Things? Excellent!

And in the landscape - there is a list of topics at once.
Thus - you can immediately select the desired level of detail viewing.
At the same time - all the basic controls and their location - well maintained and the same with the iPhone version.

Any program of this level, simply must have timing to create a single ecosystem for the user, allowing him to comfortably work with the same data on different devices. After all, it is clear that ecosystem convenient to the user software is built on these components: the unity of the interface, the unity of the data they are processed and unity with other services operating systems.

Things can synchronize to the network using bonjour, although in recent time and is actively working on the timing "in the icloud."

That is why, programs such as Things occupy a large place in its niche, displacing nearly all its competitors.

Best Regards Vitaly.

Things - an enhanced dialogue quickly create a task Quick Entry. Selecting the text and pressing the keyboard combination, you can quickly create a task. Things with the text and insert a link to the source. For example, you read an interesting review of the film and would not forget to watch it. Nothing could be easier - create a task. Or you received an email from a colleague that would be required to answer. Then create using the Quick Entry task, and Things insert fragment of a letter and a link to the message. In Things also has support for Spotlight, the task can be seen in the results.

Continued soon ...

Best Regards Vitaly.

Hey look everyone, another update to Things.

What's that you say? Can you sync your projects and action lists to your iPhone when you're away from your Mac? No? What about another Mac at home when you're at the office? No?!

Okay what about keeping my work and data in sync with each other from my Mac at home to my iPad on campus?

No? So then how exactly am I supposed to use this as my trusted system for my projects, when I can't even know that I'm looking at the right data?

Massive grats on yet another update to an overpriced application that costs almost as much as OmniFocus without providing half the features.

Bonus points for these gems in the release notes:

ª Yours forever. We won't lock you in. Things will use an open XML file format to store your data. (Not yet activated.)
* Teamwork. Things offers convenient collaboration features. Easily delegate tasks to members of your team. (This is work in progress.)

Look everyone, Cultured Code is making promises again. Let's give them all a warm round of applause.

I'm sorry to say I've jumped ship and gone to OmniFocus. I had been using Things happily for years and waited patiently for cloud syncing but there comes a time when enough is enough. They should be skipping sleep and meals to deliver on the promised features. I must say OmniFocus is not cheap but it does work and they continually add and refine features.

When Things first appeared it had a lot of visual appeal and promise but several years have passed and it remains essentially unchanged while the market has moved on. I wanted to love it --I invested in the iPad and iPhone apps as well, hoping for some kind of integration that would make Things more useful-- but finally gave up and found another solution.

Agreed, I bought the iPhone app just before finding a serious bug that was a deal breaker for me. In hindsight it was a blessing giving the path that Things has taken (i.e. it's the same as it was on launch waaaaaaaayyyyyyy back then while other apps have streaked ahead in features and usability).

Appigo ToDo is better than Things by a factor of 1000.

I have 1.0.4 and the "Check for updates..." keeps telling me I have the latest version.

Should I update manually?

  • The big picture. A Leopard style source list lets you easily focus without ever switching view modes or wrapping your head around filter criteria.
  • A magical tag bar automatically appears when needed and adapts to the currently displayed list. It lets you drill down even the longest list of To-Dos. Hierarchical tags? We got you covered!
  • Teamwork. Things offers convenient collaboration features. Easily delegate tasks to members of your team. (This is work in progress.)
  • No columns! Whether it's multiple tags, dates or notes, To-Do items display their information on an as needed basis. No more space wasted by empty or irrelevant column cells!
  • Out of your head, out of your way. A quick entry HUD lets you enter any idea the moment it hits you. Never let the thought of an unfinished business distract you again.
  • Yours forever. We won't lock you in. Things will use an open XML file format to store your data. (Not yet activated.)
  • Things even supports GTD, so if you're familiar and comfortable with GTD concepts, you'll feel right at home.
