The Problem

People who maintain dozens of Google task lists cannot efficiently search, aggregate, reorder, or navigate them on an iPhone. Calendar synchronization, recurring-task controls, notifications, and widgets can also be unreliable or incomplete, disrupting a personal system used throughout the day.

Potential Solution

Build a native companion client that synchronizes with Google Tasks and provides fast search, an all-tasks view, list reordering, rescheduling, recurring-task controls, and scheduled-task widgets. Begin with read-through synchronization and safety controls, then add editing and conflict handling after proving synchronization reliability.

Why Now?

Recent reviews describe longtime users actively seeking alternatives after crashes, removed navigation features, and persistent feature gaps. Their existing dependence on Google Calendar makes a compatible companion more practical than requiring migration to an unrelated task system.

Tasks: To Do List & Reminders

Have been looking for another task app ever since the one from a major tech company deteriorated in terms of functionality. Think I've found a great replacement with this app. I've only used it for about a week so far but it does what I need it to do and has nice customisation features. The only thing I haven't figured out is how to search for a task across all the lists instead of having to do it within each individual list!

Tasks.org: to-do list & tasks

Finally, a task app that handles regenerating Tasks from completion date very well. App is very customizable, almost at granular level. It would be nice to be able to list Google Calendar Events (not Tasks) in the widget as well, either view-only or with edits managed by Google Calendar, but this app still worthy of 5 stars. Subscription very affordable, with pay-what-you-want option (for limited paid features but still worth it). Subscription very recomm

Bring back reminders! Tasks is missing features - for example, you can still only one-time-delete a recurring task from the calendar, not from the tasks app. I miss the old Reminders functionality, which was complete and did not need upgrading.

Google Tasks: Get Things Done

Can’t reorder the lists from left to right Individual lists are working very well for me and I like having a list that pulls out the starred items automatically. I do wish I could re-order the lists from left to right as I realize the list I created very early on is really all low priority items. It doesn’t make sense for it to be the second list that I can see on my phone. I’d like to re-order them to push that one off to the right.

Where is Alphanumeric Sorting? I cannot be all alone in wanting to sort the task lists I create in alphanumeric order. But maybe I am, because this app gets high praise. Wunderlist / Microsoft To-Do it most certainly is not. Be better, Google.
