I asked about the release notes for v1.5.5 on the cultured code forums and got this response from Mick:

The update makes the non-MAS distribution Gatekeeper-compatible in anticipation of Mountain Lion. The in-app update will be released in coming days (to coincide with a MAS incremental update).

It doesn't sync to icloud calendar events. The app sticks everything in the Reminders pane, which not how i use iCal. That said, I don't think that is very nice either. I am yet to find a competitor for BusyCal.

The biggest problem with this software is the group of smug assbags that write it.

Did you have a bad experience with the developer? It would help other users in the future if you could elaborate on your point. Thanks.

I've been Beta Testing the Sync feature. We've been notified that with the next update of the iPod Touch/iPhone App, iOS 4 support will be discontinued. Things Cloud will only be available on iOS 5. If your device doesn't support iOS 5, you must turn off the Beta Testing because with the next update the App will do that automatically and you'll lose access to your database. The database for the Beta Testing is different from the regular version of the App and is not transferable anyway, so you lose your data when you turn off the Beta Testing!

I guess this is progress.

Buyer beware. iPod Touch/iPhone Syncing with the Desktop App will only be supported for iOS 5. They don't mention that on their web site.

Cultured Code states the following on their web site: "In addition, iCloud will be limited to OS X Lion. We know from past experience that it takes a considerable amount of time for many users to migrate to a new OS. Restricting cloud sync support to Lion is not an option for us."

"We know from past experience that it takes a considerable amount of time for many users to migrate to a new OS." BUT Cultured Code is going to make users purchase a new device that supports iOS 5 for the sync feature to work.

That's being consistent! What nonsense!

syncing with several computers never worked for me reliably sometimes it does sometimes it does not. It clearly connects but then tells me could not complete sync.

Only deleting and re-adding device will fix it until the next sync when I have the same problem again.

waist of money

Someone with experience in interaction design might be a good investment for Cultured Code. Entering a due date and all that comes with that is still quite painful.

I don't get these "to-do list managers."

A simple checklist is just as easy on paper. The only thing an electronic version does for me, is to allow changes without an eraser.

I need one that actually categorizes more complex lists without an
"out-of-sight, out-of-mind" experience. That handles indents & matrix columns, yet can hide away the complexity at a click.

I've looked at a number of these: Still looking for an affordable ideal. I don't want to drop $50 or more for an app that I won't use.

I don't get your comment. How much DO you want to drop on an app you won't use?

Kihoalu, i’ve written several apps i’d be willing to sell you for less. Since you’re not going to use them, well, no need to mention what they do; give me your email and i’ll send them straight away for $35.

And … “I need one that actually categorizes more complex lists without an

Things is so much more friction free, scaleable, and elegant than what you say you desire. I don’t know how to respond except to suggest that you use a WORD table to manage your action items. Some people do …

Since I can’t seem to reply to my respondents: I’m stuck tacking it onto my own comment.
This is not a review of the product, rather a comment.

My gripe is largely that a lot of the apps haven’t captured my imagination.
Maybe that’s my problem & not the seller’s.

I hesitate to mention other apps at length in a comment tacked onto this one,
because its really not fair to Things, to use its entry to talk at length about other ones,
especially since I never gave it a proper try!

For CP not getting my comment: There is a threshold cost I would spend for an app that may not
meet my needs very well. I’m not dissing this one, but I haven’t really warmed to it to the tune of $50.

Things beta and iCloud sync is great but the clearing omission is alert notifications for any event and time.

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

  • 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.
