Never miss a task you need to do with Things 3. It is always easier if you can follow up smaller steps to achieve your project, this is exactly what Things 3 lets you do! It comes with really valuable features like reminders, quick finders, tags, drag-and-drop to-do lists, multiple windows and so much more!

I always loved Things, but the pricing seems... off. 44 euro's for the desktop version seems a bit much? At first glance it's almost 400% more expensive then other paid task management apps. And that is with the 25% discount. If you want Things on all your devices; that will set you back around 70-80 euro's.

@nielsvr Exactly. At those prices I will bite the bullet and live with Apple Reminders & Calendar like I have been for years.

@nielsvr I've been using Things 1 and 2 for more than 8 years. Happy to pay $80 for all 3 macOS, iPhone, iPad Apps (and watchOS too). $80 is a drop in the bucket for Apps that I use every single day, year in and year out.

@nielsvr Just be glad they don't do subscriptions... 40€ is actually very cheap given you're getting it for life... OmniFocus is about $40, Sketch is $100, Sublime is like $50... But come on, these are the things (see what I did there) you need for your work.
Patrick Thompson
@kaler I definitely agree. I'm actually a little envious that I can't justify the cost of Things because it is a beautiful app. I'm just not busy enough to take advantage of all the features it has to offer. I find that Reminders and Calendar work well for my basic schedule.

@_vojto things (3 at least) seem to not be so focused towards work, anymore 👎🏻 I'm torn.

49 euros for desktop 9 for iphone and 19 for ipad, are you out of your mind guys? What kind of sale methodology are you guys using? Is it better to sell apps for 80euro to 100 or for 30 euros to thousands of people ... or maybe your infrastructure is just not ready for crowds. I would love to use all of your apps but not for this price, sorry!

@bartosz_bak Cultured Code doesn't typically do annual updates. Say you buy the whole suite...they probably won't have a major revision for 2-3 years.

@bartosz_bak I honestly thought that by "are you out of your mind" you meant how cheap it is.... Please realize how hard it is to have a sustainable business with one-time fees.
Bartosz Bąk
@_vojto I'm aware of how business works especially when it comes to that kind of products. With all due respect Vojtech. I think product is overpriced and cutting price a bit would have better impact on sales, basically, you could sell more for a bit less ;)

@_vojto @bartosz_bak But a users concern isn't how the company sustains it's business. They priced this bc it benefits them, not the customer, which in my opinion, isn't how you treat users.
Pietz Prove
@stephenmarklevi i agree with you. it's not the customer's job to justify the price from the business perspective. $50 for a desktop todo app is expensive. i can easily see that it may be worth it for some, but it's a tough sell nonetheless. that being said i catch myself complaining about subscriptions and now i also complain about high selling prices. maybe i need to rethink my attitude.

@francescod_ales Great review - it saved me a ton of time from hunting down info on the Things site - thanks.

@scottwwilliams that's very kind of you Scott. I do these features for specifically productivity apps and love recording them! :-)
Robert Ozankan
@francescod_ales Great Review! Really shows how it works on the Mac and iOS. Well Done!

@rozankan Thank you so much Robert!

@francescod_ales Great work again! This launch definitely deserved a full review.

This app is gorgeous (on all 4 devices - iPhone, iPad, Mac, Watch) — worth every penny; they've been working on it for years and it's an app you'll use every day. The animations are flawless, and the list-management interactions make every other list-managing app feel like a clunker. I'm hoping they'll open-source some of these animation goodies so others can use 'em! This *has* to be a shoe-in for the Apple Design Awards in June!

Too little, too late, for too much. I appreciate the thought and care that goes in to the design and navigation of Things, but their iterations are SO few and far between. There is no way I can justify spending this much on a suite that won't see another meaningful update for 2-3 years. Additionally, their communication (or lack thereof) about product update timelines (I understand not sharing new features coming, that is fair) is unforgivable when people depend on products like this so much and spend this kind of money. I firmly believe Culture Code means well and they do solid work, but their actions in their communication and update frequency means I can't support them.

Is there any plan for an Android version of Things 3?
Carl Consing
I love Todoist but this is so clean I may have to try it out. I remember how beautiful Things was when it first came out.
sᴉɹɥƆ
@cmconsing Did you ever try it? I'm kind of in the same boat right now, kind of happy with Todoist but I love how Things looks.
Promit Ghosh
@cmconsing @_chrispop Tried using both for an extended period of time - while Things 3 was definitely more beautiful and the iOS app is definitely better than Todoist's, the amount of time saved by Todoist's quick add was incomparable. I add everything to my to do apps, so i'm constantly in and out of it, and the ease with which i could add tasks was more important than any marginal UI/UX benefits I gained with Things 3.

Only if Trello had that design.

@denull I was thinking its very similar to trello which is free
chris
I've used this throughout the last couple of months in beta and it's honestly great. It does JUST enough to be a powerful tool without doing too much, which is apparently a really hard thing to do. My only complaint is the lack of shared tasks, which means I have to keep using either Todoist or Reminders in addition to Things, but it's definitely worth checking out.
K R
@chrisdolle Yeah, plus it doesn't seem to allow for IFTT recipes so I can do stuff with trello.

Two up front caveats: 1. This is an amazing app. I'm just enumerating the things I wish were different. 2. It's totally possible I have missed features. I wasn't part of beta, so have only been using today. No web component No durations No priorities LOTS of taps to get things done (e.g. to move Task in Inbox to a date, tap once, tap calendar, tap date, tap SOMEWHERE to close that Task, Click OK to remove notification of movement. 5 taps. Should be 3 max. Pain really felt when scheduling many Inbox tasks to diff dates). No batch changing Deadlines Tags not shown on main screen...have to use Quick Find Filter by tag is cool though Visually no difference between Projects within Today, This Evening....text all looks the same...no diff colors for example Only one line shown of each task....this is good and bad. Makes everything MUCH cleaner and more condensed...but can hide key info about task. Animations take time, slow down input (e.g. click blue Magic Button, animation/lag before you can begin typing)
