Priority Matrix Reviews

by Why?

PriorityMatrix is like a smothering girlfriend/boyfriend who won’t stop texting you until you check in with them. Even when you turn off the notifications in your phone settings, PriorityMatrix knows this and tells you to turn it back on every time you open PriorityMatrix . I love Priority Matrix, but I have to rate 1 star in hopes that this gets picked up on someone’s radar back at headquarters. Seriously, guys, cool it with the reminders—I keep them off for a reason. I would give it 5 stars if not for this issue, it really is that annoying.

They add so many new gimmicky "features" that they forget the point of the Esienhower grid in the first place. People attracted to this sort of app want simplicity and functionality.

It seems like they need to use their own app to get the priorities straight. But maybe that explains why the functionality is so poor.

Each new version of PriorityMatrix has gotten subsequently worse.

And when I wrote them all that they responded was "sorry it's not a good fit." What a waste of my time trying to give constructive feedback, to get a slap in the face.

Really wish they'd go back to the essentials and fix PriorityMatrix .

PS: the forced log in is ridiculous.

I love this idea because I struggle with prioritizing my time. I’ve heard of using the quadrant method which has been very helpful! Curiously looked to see if an app exists - it does! However, PriorityMatrix glitches, responds slowly, or doesn’t work at all. Conclusion: Great idea but the execution could improve. Will be deleting PriorityMatrix because I created my own quadrant in InDesign.

Loved PriorityMatrix on iPad and windows computer. It was awesome. Then they did a update last year and never worked the same. Customer support tried to fix but just wouldn’t work on computer so no reason to use PriorityMatrix anymore since part of the beauty was to be able to have it sync with all devices. Got to buggy and also expensive

I would have given them 5 stars but I can't stand how busy the desktop program is. It looks very complicated and you do have to watch the tutorials to make sure you don't miss an easier way to navigate. I love how you can sync outlook and assign tasks with emails. There is such much this does to make my life easier. It also needs a chat room feature like so many other task management apps

For me this is the best fit for managing events, appointments, emails, meetings and results. Takes some getting used to all the many parts but a very robust management tool.

PriorityMatrix is easy to use and understand. It helps with productivity when there are multiple projects

So far PriorityMatrix has been pretty useful. I’m still getting used to it but one feature that can be added to make the experience smoother would be a switch user feature between multiple accounts. I have a personal and work account for priority matrix. Sometimes my husband wants to use my phone to log in and it would be easier to switch users without signing out and having to log back in on the same device.

I use PM for business and personal project management. Would highly recommend to friends and colleagues.

I used PriorityMatrix a few years ago and, as life changes, it sat unused for a time. I went back to use it and found the pricing strategy had changed - but a call to support was super helpful...

I‘m using it now on Windows and iOS — a couple weeks in and it has me so much more effective with my time!! (And I‘ve used and use a variety of productivity apps from simple lists to true organizers)

This one provides a visual that I need — and things no longer get lost.

—— Love, Love, Love that i can focus in on a single project with the 4-square visual of all the details.

—— And LOVE that i can switch to the “Master List” or “Calendar” view to know exactly what i should be focusing on at any given point in time.

Other good (and key) features is the ability to customize the quadrant for different projects — my “learning/development” goals are captured one way, my home and work “projects” have a more typical 4-square matrix.

I use this for myself although it’s actually created for team use - i would imagine it’s a great collaboration tool...

Love it!!!

I’m a big fan of the Priority Matrix and have been for a very long time. It’s fantastic to have a tool I can actually use every day to keep my priorities in line.

I have used PriorityMatrix for about 4 years. I have many task that I need to accomplish each day. I have tried many methods and apps on my iPad. PriorityMatrix is the most well thought out and implemented GTD (Getting Things Done) application that I use. The iOS version is an OUTSTANDING application. The iOS app offers synchronization (requires a subscriptrion) with my Mac OS app and the Web Version. It is all seamless. If you can’t afford the subscription then simply use the iOS version. The iOS version is really worth trying out.

Cheers to the developers. PriorityMatrix has grown from a basic app into a full-fledged business app. Yet it has accomplished this feat without adding complexity or confusion. This is a MUST-HAVE application.

They reel you in with a functionally rich app - then gouge you with exorbitant >$100 / year subscription, for critical sync functions!!!!!

Beware, before you load up all your data!!!

This is the ap I use to brain-dump and make sure nothing falls through the cracks. It keeps me organized and provides the satisfaction of checking things off as I go. I especially recommend it to certain family members who habitually say "remind me to..." and I can retort, "put it in your matrix!"

I didn’t find too much use for the iPhone and iPad versions, but liked the concepts. It was until I signed up as a Pro user to use the Mac and Window’s applications. Terrific interface, easy to use and very valuable to get a view into what is most important.

Grateful I found Priority Matrix. I’ve been looking for a cross platform all in one organizer. PM is great for those of us that need to start small and grow into using more and more of the apps capabilities. The support team has been helpful and clear as I’ve created problems with mismatched accounts and password issues. I’m using PriorityMatrix for my personal and professional projects.

I switched from another task management app 2 months ago, I am impressed how much more organized and efficient I am, running a video production company. Well worth the learning curve, wish I would have done the switch to Priority Matrix sooner. The four quadrants paradigm provides a much easier method for viewing and executing tasks and projects. Integration with Outlook for Mac is a very helpful feature. It’s a little pricey, but if you’re on the fence just use the trial for a few weeks and see for yourself.

Great implementation of the Eisenhower method of organizing, but enhanced with very usable features for those who who want them. It comes with several templates with very useful base ideas, and customizations for creative people with a sense of style to make it look exactly like you want.

I’ve found so many uses for this easy-to-keep-up-with visionary software creation, and it’s so easy to use! Love it, and I use it every day to capture and organize my fleeting artist ideas. Kind of a hybrid of visual and list organizing, and it’s been very stable, too!

I have long been a user of the Eisenhower Matrix. I have tried every one of the applications available and have concluded, without any doubt, that this one is the best. I am impressed with its power and versatility. The pros are too many to get into here. It must be used for a couple of days to fully appreciate. The only downside is the limitation of choices available for recurring tasks. Still, the positive aspects of PriorityMatrix are so good and so refined that I must still give it five stars. Maybe, in a future release, they will improve on the recurring options.

This is the most user friendly organizer I’ve ever seen. The designers have thought about everything and have built flexibility to accommodate all forms of thinking. I can’t wait to see how I build it into my personal and professional lives.
