THL is beautiful, well-designed software, and the sync service is fantastic. It's noticeably faster than OmniFocus sync for me.
The main knocks at this point are a couple things:
* There's no iPad version yet. Potion Factory says it's on the way, but things often take longer than people would like
* Between releases, Andy can go kinda quiet. This is fairly well documented in the comments below.
With the large number of changes in 1.1 and the improvements, it's pretty clear to me that he's investing a lot of time in it, and it's worked reliably for me for the last couple releases so I don't have much bad to say about it. It really is nice and flexible to use, and it doesn't frustrate me like Omnifocus does.

I go a message on 7 Feb. 2012 that it coudn't open my library, went to Potion Factory's website & found instructions for how to repair a corrupted library, but then found they didn't match AT ALL what they said I would in my App Support. What's more, I couldn't find a backup file on my iMac that was less than 8 mos. old. Sent PF 4 increasingly frantic messages asking for help (including the relevant files, screenshots, etc.), but have STILL (03/09) gotten NOTHING except their original auto-reply to my original message.
Had an earlier parallel experience with them over a less incapacitating problem (duplicate appearances of tasks, bloating sorted to-do lists. At least that time I got into correspondence with Andy Kim, but after I sent him the files he requested I NEVER heard back.
This SW is simply too unreliable and unsupported to depend on as a tool for daily use. A shame, because it has some useful features, especially if they worked the glitches out. But absent support (and, apparently, a robust system for backing up your data), just too undependable. DON'T TOUCH IT!
Something's wrong w. MacUpdate's rating system: I want to give it a 0 rating for value & stability, but MUD won't let me; also to lower the Features rating because they don't work properly.

Still sticking to my objections against a developer which operates completely in the dark. Buying software is except an excellent product also about confidence and above all satisfactory customer support !

Sync should be free or at least have give us a product which had continuous support like OmniFocus, Things or Firetask

While having a paid syncing service is fine, what is not so fine is the fact that you can't use a WiFi to do the job if you wish. Given that the mechanics of sync have been developed there seems to be no good reason to not have WiFI syncing - unless the developer is hoping to make more money by forcing users to use the cloud sync. I don't want to put my data on the cloud if I can avoid it for security issues. Also depending on where you are you may not have a web connection.

And why should anyone care what which feature costs? If someone needs WiFi-Sync and there is none they can rate this app whatever they like. At least Macgruder didn't rate the app 0.5 stars.

it does not force me to stick to bloated and inconsistent gtd system. it supports me in using tro (total relaxed organization).
there is only one missing thing. syncing over the air or at least an api extension for the paid sync service.
oh and the price is ok but syncing costs extra per year but thats okay actually i do not use sync because of lacking possibilities on syncing. ical is no good interface for syncing with other apps and services.
the last sentence. the hit list fits bests to my requirements :-)

There are a lot of things I love about The Hit List such as:
* keyboard shortcuts (very intuitive…awesome job)
* reasonably priced iOS app w/ sync
* intuitive layout with containers (folders, Inbox, Today and upcoming)
* tags and contexts are easy to use and effective for organization
* The Hit List doesn't force you into using a system - you can use it how you'd like
* the hints at the bottom are great!
Some things I don't like:
* developer makes me nervous… he doesn't really respond to email. Also from what I read it was 3 years of promises before this app finally made it out of beta. I understand that software development isn't a straight-forward process, but good grief.
* the price is slightly high for what it does. This is more of a 40$ piece of functionality in my mind. However, there really aren't a lot of GTD alternatives that do what I want and I've done trials on quite a few of them! Sooo… I just paid the 50$.
* no dropbox or alternative syncing.
What would make this a 5 star app (or if the price were lower… obviously you expect more from a 50$ app than a 40$ app):
* rules - for instance, if I mark something with a certain tag (ex: /important) then automatically make it a priority 1. Or if it has a certain tag, move it to this list automatically.
* the ability to drop a file into a to do (instead of it just linking)…..more of a "nice to have"
* being able to iCal sync based on priority (I guess technically you can if you create a smart folder for high priority items and then set it to sync w/ iCal)
* a preferences setting to sync every X minutes. Instead I have to manually sync. If there is a way to automatically do this, I am unaware of it.
* ability to customize a few things: folder colors, list backgrounds, text colors….etc. The blue folders and yellow notebook paper are great at first… and then get boring.
I'm happy with this app and it does about 90% of what I want it to do. If you are considering either Things, Pagico, or Omnifocus, you HAVE to check out The Hit List.

what I dislike: sorting sucks (no way to not sort without headers, it waste too much space), notes access are a little clunky, more options to customize interface like turn off tabs (don't need them we have the side bar), cloud sync (give me a break, and paid? not only that but I would not trust the developer with him having access to my todo lists, (also apple provides free cloud now)
missing: collaborative or network share todo.
is dev going to do the separate iphone/ipad apps, probably since he only released a the iphone one. i think a universal app show the dev is considerate.
company: hard to trust a developer that took almost 3 years to get out of beta and sold to people like it was almost ready 3 years ago.
