Contact Remember The Milk Support

I’ve been using the App Store since its inception- maybe posted 3 reviews. This will be four. As for the app? It functions as intended, no better or worse than others in the App Store. I moved to RTM from Todo which worked great but was clunky for simple tasks. After using remember the milk for a few days I paid for a subscription and went pro. A year later they sent me an email staying the price went up 25% and it was time to upgrade because my subscription expires today. Great customer service- send an expiration reminder on the day the subscription expires. The pro features were shut off before I could even get to my desk at work and copy my subtasks over to the notes area. Typical cash grab apps. They give you subpar features just a bit better than the free apps online and constantly raise fees. I’ll go back to TODO and enjoy the app I only had to pay for one time.

RTM does a good job of honoring recent Google interface standards. For example it has a big circle with a plus sign to let me add a task.

Unfortunately it completely ignores the use of gestures. Yes, it has two primitive strokes - stroke left and stroke right. Those “complete” a task or let “postpone” it.

However, how delete with a stroke? It’s as though they never looked at a modern app such as, Clear. No delete stroke.

Well, what about creating a new task? Nope. You have to tap through a series of awkward choices. No stroking.

Switching lists? Of course there’s a stroke, right? Nope.

Switching views? In your dreams.

The bottom line it is much slower and more awkward to use than it should be.

Additionally, and this may be my fault, the View mechanism seems awkward. I spent a while trying to figure it out. Help pages are *pathetic*! I gave up after a fair amount of effort.

I suggest you go find a To Do app that keeps up with the exciting and excellent use of stroke gestures, deep press, and all the other simplifying ideas that Apple has added to iOS.

P.s. I just remembered - I could not even drag items to reorder the list. Even if there is a “sort manually” options (which I could not find), there aren’t drag bars. I invite the developers, again, to go check other cutting edge apps and keep up.

There’s a lot to love about this app. Multiple types of lists, flexible, the ability to share lists with friends, family, co-workers... all cool.

The problem is that most of the useful features and controls are only available when you spin up your desktop computer.

NOT. FROM. THE. PHONE. APP.

As an example, I would like to add my husband to the grocery list. But the app won’t let me do that. Go home and use the computer, because I can’t do this simple task while I am out running errands. Okay. He’s added. (Took me two days to remember while I was actually in front of the computer, but that sort of thing is why I need a list app anyway, right?)

He gets to the store to buy groceries. Pulls out his phone and opens the app. No list! Why not? Well, he was supposed to remember to turn on his computer and accept the list. He can’t do that (or even see that it needs to be done) from the app.

Does this make any sense? No. It does not.

If and when the RTM team ever gets their act together to make an app that actually works on a mobile device, I might revisit their work.

Meanwhile? Forget it.
