The Minimalist lives up to its name. It’s a decent app overall. I like how it easily syncs to Google and iOS Calendar. There are a few issues that bug me though. I dislike having to pinch zoom to view multiple lists. Id prefer a one-handed option. Also, when the list is full, it often takes multiple tries to be able to pinch just right. It would also make more sense to pinch zoom inward from upper right and from lower left instead of from upper left and from lower right, as the text has a tendency to block the gesture. Another issue I have is how tapping on items brings you to Focus Mode. I rarely use the focus mode and constantly inadvertently tap to that page. I ’d prefer options for to choose to decide what action takes place after tapping; one of the options being to edit mode instead of having swipe left slightly, which often leads me to the “are you sure remove the task?” query if I swipe a bit too hard. Although these issues are minor, adding them and other issues that I may mention later together leads to wasted time and not wanting to use the app much. I like the design and layout, but the unintuitive gestures ruins it.

I have tried A LOT of to do list apps and I really feel like this one could be the best one I’ve ever tried. I love the layout, the minimal look of the app does so much to help me stay focused and not get overwhelmed with my list. However, the bugs make it somewhat difficult to use which can be frustrating, especially after paying for the lifetime pro version. The most prominent bugs are the drop down menu that moves tasks between lists and notification errors. When I am trying to move tasks between lists the drop down menu often just doesn’t work and I am unable to move my tasks around. I have to try sometimes 10 or more times to move them. Also, the notifications for a task continue to go off, even if I have already marked that task as complete. If some of these bugs would get worked out, I would be so impressed with this app and be a loyal user. On a personal note, and to echo another review I read: it would be nice to be able to change the time and date edit to one click and the pomodoro focus timer to two clicks. It seems much for intuitive to me as I am more apt to want to quickly change dates and times.

This is the only task mgmt/to do list app amongst a multitude that has ever actually worked for me. It’s simple & effective. I’m not even sure I use the pro features I paid extra for, but it’s been so helpful to me that I don’t care. My biggest frustration/complaint is that I don’t use the pomodoro feature & REALLY wish the double-tap to edit/single-tap to focus gestures were switched around, or there was the option to change that in settings. Accidentally tapping an item & having to back out of focus mode is an annoyance that interrupts my productivity flow. Swiping right to go between lists is also touchy & often results in nearly deleting tasks. The ability to move tasks from one list to another would be VERY welcome as well. (Also: Does clearing completed tasks remove them from the stats as well? I’m afraid to try it & find out! 😬) Meanwhile, keep up the great work: The developers clearly care about the app & make continuous improvements, & I always appreciate that! ❤️
