Google Tasks: Get Things Done Customer Service

As a person with an organizing personality, I love this app! I have been using it for years and I love that I can make a list for whatever I need, arrange list items however I like, add dates and times each task needs to be completed, put items on repeat (for those weekly or monthly chores 😉), add a description to the item if I want to, and the many other features. The only thing that I dislike is that you can’t rearrange the actual list order. Unfortunately, once the lists are made, they are static. If you want to rearrange your lists, you have to delete them and re-create them in the order you now want them in, which can be a bit frustrating. Over allthough, excellent app that I definitely recommend.

Hi Developers, I am a fellow ADHD chick and I like breaking down tasks that are daily and I try to do that here and create subtasks like for looking after animals or cleaning kitchen but can’t seem to repeat daily and create subtasks at same time is there a way you can do that and make it where we can repeat reoccurring tasks it helps me with reminders here just wish the events could be checked off and not be a actual event if you were wanting to time block and beable to check the task off without creating a actual event. Not sure if yall can do that to where I can put them as tasks for period of time almost like an event but able to be checked off and have color coding as well like events. All in all this is a great task app and love google calendar just want to make the tasks sometimes in a time frame for time blocking and have different colors along with reoccurring tasks flair subtasks together like I mentioned above I’d appreciate it so much and it would make google calendar even more valuable to me than it is now for simple reminders and tasks and events. There’s no other calendar like google calendar. I like it more than the iPhone calendar honestly.

I tried two competing programs before this one, and neither could successfully do recurring tasks the way I needed them to. This program accomplishes this mostly without incident; occasionally a task appears in Google calendar twice for the same day. The solution is to open the task, change to a different day then back again, save changes, and presto issue is solved. I hope they fix that glitch soon. I would appreciate the ability to select different colors for different groups of tasks to make it easier to differentiate them in Google calendar; right now I need to identify the group in the task description which feels like a chore, but it’s workable. Performing complicated recurrence patterns requires jumping through some hoops but it is possible. I appreciate that all tasks can have a start and end date. The tasks app attempts to show which tasks are for today, which honestly it shouldn’t even bother to do, as it doesn’t successfully convey that you have only completed one instance of a recurring task. Really this app and Google calendar should come bundled together into one product. I’m sure Google realizes this too. Hopefully they will combine them in the future.

I use this app pretty much everyday and I have for pretty much this whole year. Maybe a little more. It’s nice and simple. But as happens with any software that is good enough to get well acquainted with, you learn it’s quirks, plus I like to develop apps, so I’m extra aware. Like I make a list for every day of the week, there’s not really a built in day feature. I have to move tasks between lists one at a time, both on the google calendars web panel version and the app version. And there’s this weird thing where when you want to delete your completed tasks, there’s no way to clear all deleted, you have to delete them one at a time, and each time you delete one, it shows a snack bar that covers the bottom one. So you have to wait for the snackbar to go away in order to delete the last one because it’s covered up. That’s on the google calendars tasks web panel and the app. You also can’t shrink tasks in the list to hide the sub tasks. It’s nice that you can have sub tasks, I use that all the time, but I don’t want to see all the sub tasks when I’m looking at a list of tasks. At least not all the time. And finally, you can assign a time to a task so that it will show on your google calendar, only problem is you can’t set a duration like you can with any other thing on your google calendar, it always just shows as the same height. It’s hitting me now that I didn’t really research any of the small complaints before writing this so hopefully I’m not speaking out of turn, but hopefully one of you developers sees this and takes the suggestions. Or y’all just hire me and I’ll work on them ;)

I like that it saves my tasks between devices and thought I liked the ability to make extra lists until the ability to move tasks between lists began to malfunction. I can no longer move tasks from the default list to my added lists, which when I could, helped me focus on the most important tasks when I needed to. The ability to do that disappeared regarding the main list (the most important one to be able to transfer from to aid focus) - as soon as I deleted one list and made another! I had to do this before the lists would start letting me rename them - if I’d been able to rename in the first place (I can now, but moving tasks is more important), then I wouldn’t have had to delete a list & make a new one, which apparently led to the problem of not being able to move tasks. PLEASE Fix This Bug!!

I love how straightforward this is app is. There’s really nothing confusing about it … it’s just as simple to use as a written to-do list. I think it’s also satisfying that it tells you the total number of tasks you’ve ever completed in the app. And you can scroll through all the ones you’ve finished just to feel gratified. If I had one critique, it’d be that the subtasks look the same as all other tasks and behave the same way. I’d prefer if the subtasks could be visibly under the main task and distinguished in some. Then if you completed every subtask, it would check off the main task automatically. Or if you marked the main task as completed, it would mark the subtasks as completed.

I work from home post Covid. I work for mental health agency and we use telehealth services. Also I have an iPhone therefore everything that’s google from my job I have to download an app to track. I came across this wonderful app that is very helpful and separating all of the emails I get throughout the day and how I need to complete those tasks my only issue is.... why isn’t there a way to print the task list? Without doing a screenshot or copy and paste? Is there a way and I don’t know? Also, I downloaded the drive and I created an area where we all can get our documents in our office. I would like to be able to share the task list with my supervisor so she can look at every time, do I have to give her my login and password in order for that to happen? Everything else I love about it!

This app is a great addition to my life. Previously, I would carry around a daily planner for all my to do lists, reminders, and appointments. It was really inconvenient if I didn’t have it with me or even if it was on a different floor of my house. Tasks, paired with Google Calendar, has managed to replace that and I can utilize this organization system on both the computer and my phone. It’s easy to add additional details, like location and set reminders before appointments. It’s different than other to do list apps that I’ve used because it allows you to easily categorize lists. For example, I have one for work, one for my personal life, one for household handyman tasks I’d like to have done, one for wedding planning, etc. This app gets 4 stars because there is currently a glitch that I can’t delete lists.

I love everything about this, especially the web version. A few improvements would make this amazing. The ability to move one task from list to list is to challenging or impossible , depending on the options you choose for the task. The other thing I would like to see is the ability for there to be a time range of how long it would take to do the task since it takes up space on the calendar. I don’t want to have to add an actual event in addition to the task taking up space on the calendar. The final thing I would love to see is additional alarms similar to reminders for calendar events. I need to be reminded of the task and to go back and actually check them off when I so additional alarms will be helpful.

I’m a list freak so organizing my list so that they don’t get out of control is impotant to me in a app made for such things this was easy to use just bold and organized it is a lot more useful then going into a app hunting threw lists of lists for a list of lists I need I had a list of what lists I made to organize my list and other apps have add info under task but doesn’t allot sub task this app does it all so I can simply go to the list labeled for my cleaning tasks and begin each task checking off the important sub tasks in each main task and read any little notes in order not to forget important information like while cleaning freezer make sure ice machine is off

The app is great, it does it's job and does it well. It's very convinient and it's cross platform availability like most Google products is always a plus. Google always has great and simple visual style on all of its products but I believe this one is too simplistic. I would like the ability to view a page with all of my lists rather than the menu from the bottom that allows you to switch between lists. Also maybe add some preference features to that like colors and small symbols to distinguish between lists, much like Apple's Reminders app has. Beside the personal visual preferences the app great and would recommend to anyone who likes to make anTo Do list and hang out tasks

To be honest, i love using this app. Not only does it function as a to-do lists for tasks that i have to get done at a certain time, but it also works to remind me of things that i need to do. There’s a problem though: there’s no iOS widget for it. For other Google apps that i use, the widgets are phenomenal and incredibly useful. It’s nice waking up and seeing exactly what i need to do for the day, but it is a bit of an inconvenience opening up the app every single time i just want to glance at what i need to do. Other than that, i can’t organize task priorities unless i number them or assign a time i need to complete it by. If there were a way to tag certain tasks as more important than others, then it would function a lot better in my day-to-day life.

This is a great task app for free! I would love to be able to change the sound of notifications, which currently sounds the same as Google home alerts that someone is at my front door, so it sets off my dog when I get a task reminder (whoops). Maybe also would be nice to re-order my lists easier. But other than that, I’ve found it really versatile and helpful. I have a million lists and categories for tasks and it allows all of that very close to what some of the expensive applications provide. I use other programs at work and this allows me to use some of the same productivity tools without the price-tag.

I am someone who is a pretty serious daily planner. And I like to use google calendar on my Computer to do most of my planning. Tasks is super helpful, though, because as soon as something that you need to do pops into your head, you can write it down in Tasks, even when you don’t have your computer. It just helps me keep straight what all I have to do. With that said, I don’t use the app to actually fill my day if that makes sense. I find the computer so much easier for that. I just write all the tasks to be done in Tasks, and then I move those tasks into my daily calendar on the computer.

I just started using this app this week, but here’s what I think so far… I have horrible ADHD and always have different thought of different topics running through my head at 190mph! So having one spot I can “Brain Dump” to get some of it off my mind, then go back and move things around and “Star” important things for the day/week. AND because it’s a Google App, it connects with work seamlessly! In my opinion though, the web/desktop version is slightly better at the moment, but hopefully the app version will have at least the same features (it already might, but I haven’t found them yet. 😂)

I love the desktop version and how it’s seamless now with my calendar, but I’m a little frustrated with the app. There are a few features from the desktop version that would really make me love using this app- the big frustration being that you can’t rearrange lists from the app. It says “my order” but then you can’t change the order. And the order isn’t synching with the order on my desktop version! Another convenience would be the ability to select and de-select which lists you see, so instead of all 5 or whatever, I only see the 2 I need. Especially since screen real estate is so limited.

Love Google Tasks. My husband and I use the Google Suite of products for all of our personal and professional resources, to-do’s, and projects. We run a small business and we’re having a difficult time trying to find a tool that would help us keep track of day-to-day items. We tried Trello, Wunderlist, Asana, and more. All were beautiful but more than what we needed. Along came Google Tasks and it was the simplicity and design that fit our needs. Now we use it for everything! The only wishlist item I have for the developers would be to have a search bar so I could easily go to the task I was looking for (similar to the functionality in Google Keep.) Other than that, bravo!

Very easy to make various lists, add tasks & subtasks, set repeat & alerts (which actually work), and I can even mark important tasks with a star and track those priority tasks in the “Starred” list. I have a widget on my Home Screen with whichever list I’m focused on, which makes it even easier to see and access my task lists. Simple, easy & effective. The only change I would suggest is for the “Starred” list tasks to visibly show which list the task is from, without having to open that task and see. Still, overall, very, very helpful without being too complicated. My ADHD brain approves!

Over the years I’ve tried several different apps to try to keep myself organized. This is the only one that I’ve been successful using for a longer period of time. I have tabs for tasks listed by dates that I want to accomplish them and I also have pages for all medical appointments with the dates and times tab for streaming shows. I want to watch a tab for books. I want to read a tab for groceries. If you’re procrastinator like me, I also love the fact that it’s all you have to do is tap on the task or item and you can change the date and time easily.

First, thanks for allowing users to build up unlimited subtasks, set reminder, and create list for free. I really like the feeling of easy to drop down things. It relieves my stress. The app has already given me great experiences that in other todo apps, it’s only possible for those who spend great deal of money to subscribe. In other words, it’s a great app with potential that developers can dig into it further to create the best version of todo app. From my using experience, I would suggest the following improvements: 1. Please also allow access Google task on Google calendars on mobile app. By allow access, I am indicating that by setting up the tasks on Google Tasks, I can not only see my task present on Google Calendar but also change time or edit the task on GCalendar. The reason why I so focus on this feature is that to make an effective and doable todo list, I need to cooperate with my other events and see how much time I can do sth from GCalender’s daily timeline feature to set realistic goals. So please do add it! It’s the most valuable feature!!! I 2. About the subtasks feature, I would highly recommend that you guys can allow it mark under its main task instead of becoming an independent task when deleting the subtask. 3. I am aware that on the Google task, there is one list users can’t delete. I think you guys can make that list as today’s list which means that the app can automatically sort out what the user has set for today. By adding that feature, it should also allow users to move tasks from different lists to the today’s list. By moving tasks, I am suggesting that instead of adding feature in the detail of each task to choose add to Today’s list, the app should allow users to drag and pull the task among different lists freely. Look forward to using the update version!

Love the simplicity, lacking in a few departments especially for a google level app though. Sub tasks can only be seen in edit mode but appear as individual tasks on my unscheduled task section. Has been a bit finicky with recurring events. Needs a bit more focus payed to the functionality aspects. I also feel like it’s odd I can’t move tasks easily to other days or quickly make a task for a certain day by clicking on the day, instead you have to go in to the task maker and select each date, feel like this would be an easy add. Big fan of it’s easiness tho love that it’s not overcrowded and function saturated just needs a bit more polishing.

I really love this app. I have tried countless apps but I tried this one and have found it very helpful to connect it to my google account & calendar. I love the interface and the separate lists. However, there are some features that are missing compared to other apps that might force me to go back to another app until it is updated. 1. No “snooze” I have a reminder to take a medication once a week, and since it’s an injection, I cannot always take it right when I get the reminder. I don’t know when I will be able to actually do it, so it is hard to know a specific time. I wish that either, you could “snooze” the reminder or “remind me later/in one hour” (or something similar) so I can get another notification later on. Or, if I could set multiple reminders for each task. Plus, for my other meds, I would love to set different times for each day because I need to take them in the morning, but I sleep in on the weekends so I wish I could just have separate times instead of two separate tasks. 2. An “all tasks” page I wish I could see all of my tasks on one page. Having the different lists is great for organization. However, I tend to separate lists by different classes I take, and it would be nice to be able to see everything I have to do. Or, to have a color / label system so I could have a list with all of my homework, and then just color coordinate it. 3. Subtasks This is a small thing, but it is a little inconvenient to not be able to have subtasks until you create the task and then edit it. I thought that there weren’t subtasks capabilities for the longest time until I decided to edit one. It would make the experiences much simpler to be able to add subtasks when creating the task. Overall, I really love the app and it has great potential! However, some features are limiting my productivity so I may need to use a different program until this one is updated.

I like their new features that they added. It is one of the few online task management tools that I found that lets you make a task recurring. When I have tried other task management tools, and I was sometimes afraid to check it off if I need to do more than once because the task would become hidden. Some other things I like about google tasks is that you can create sub tasks for things that needed to broken down into more than one step and it can also sync it to your google calendar. If you decide to make a task on certain date, you can see it on your google calendar.

It’s simple, easy and keeps you organized. BUT the app is limited with what users are able to do. • Sharing- By now we should be able to share our list of tasks or individual tasks with other users. Yes, I know what Google Keep is. I don’t like Google Keep. The layout and user capabilities don’t have the same appeal. • Organization- More options for how users can organize individual tasks. Date, starred and recently added are not enough. • Notifications- Need more options or at least mimic the set up of ‘Appointments/ Events’ in Google Calendar. • Subtasks- The option to create an additional layer of subtasks under each current subtask. I’ve tried other list keeping organizational apps, but I keep coming back to this one. I don’t have the patience or motivation to ‘learn’ another app. As a busy parent simplicity and ease are precious commodities. I’m sure if the developers made a few changes they would drastically improve the lives of millions of people. I’m talking Nobel Prize winning work.

For many years I much preferred GoTasks to google tasks. But I was forced to start using google tasks when I got a new iPhone because something broke with google integration to goTasks. What I most missed was date displayed by past incomplete tasks. That is now available in 1.46 in Date Order mode. While it is for my tastes a huge improvement, it would be even better if tasks on the same past date were grouped together under the date rather than repeating the date over and over. But it’s good enough as is. 5 stars!

I love this app and have been telling everyone about since I discovered it! The only thing I would find REALLY helpful is to be able to make a list that I can re-use over and over. For example I would love to have a master grocery list that I could check off and then when I leave the store, uncheck or reuse the same list for the next visit. I’ve also used this for bills, and would like to do the same thing with that list instead of creating it over again each month. Maybe there’s a way to do this that I haven’t figured out yet, but if there’s not this would be an AMAZING feature to add on the next update! Otherwise I highly recommended this app 😊

This app coupled with google calendar is such a good combination for students to schedule their classes and have an overview of the assignments they need to complete. The only downside to the app is that I can’t change the color of how the events/tasks appear on google calendar (though this isn’t detrimental in reference to the app’s usability at all!). I highly recommend this app to students, those who lead chaotic lives and want to bring in some order, and even those who live relatively stress free lives who just like to plan and schedule!

I love that you added a star option that way certain things I wanna handle even on the same day can we be prioritized. I wish there was a click and drag option even if I’m using dates to re-order things. That would be amazing. Sometimes priorities change in the middle of the day and having to strong arm my task list can be distracting. My ask: regardless of what sorting feature people use let them ALSO (and not or) click and drag their items where they are needed. If using date sorting you could ask if they want to change the date.

This is the app that I go by everyday. Help me manage things a lot easier. The platform is very easy to navigate and it’s very easy to add inputs. It is very clean and organized just how I like it. I only wish the reminder or the alarm part that I can choose my own sounds or ringtone or giving more options to choose. Just the one time reminder ringing sometimes doesn’t get my attention enough to realize I have a reminder coming. Also should have an apple watch version as well. It will be so brilliant!!!

Having experience from both Things and ToDoist, Google tasks to me strikes a good balance between simplicity and functionality. Some room for improvement however; Scheduled or “time critical” tasks only sends you a visual notification, where as I would like to have an sound alert option as well. Preferable a unique one or an option to choose from the list of system provided alerts in order to differentiate from eMails and other audible notifications (I hate the iOS eMail audio notification, but that’s probably just me not liking getting eMails and conditioning).

I've looked for an easy way to manage short-term tasks for years. Google tasks just might be that app. It's simple to create single tasks and small multi-step projects with sub-tasks. Like Google calendar, you can create flexible recurring tasks too. One feature I love is the re-display (notification) of tasks scheduled for a previous day but not marked "complete". This helps me not lose track of lower priority tasks that I couldn't get to on the targeted due date. Note that I don't use this app for complex, larger scale projects but I don't think that's the intended use.

Ok, so it’s not great...yet. It is a very simple list concept for tasks they includes sub task, scheduling by date, very reminiscent of iOS reminders just more elegant and usable. I am giving four stars because it’s a far cry of what it could be and should be, no Google assistant yet, no connecting to Google calendar and Google Reminders and Google Keep...yet. Read a good article that had this quote to sum it up... According to David Pierce of The Wall Street Journal, Google is apparently working on this: "At some point, Google says it’ll combine Tasks and Reminders, through all the many Google apps, into one killer task manager," Pierce said on Twitter. "Today is not that day."

I love this app, it has helped me check things off my to do list that I have had in the back of my mind for far too long! I especially like the integration with gmail, which allows me to refer back to associated information that helps complete the task. 1 quirk is that subtasks don’t seem to stay married to their tasks when it comes to assigning due dates - the subtasks sit in the ‘no due date’ section when organized by date. 1 wish is that I could share my list with another user, and let them check tasks off the list or assign tasks to them.

Great app! Love the functionality, especially for organizing homework. I only have a few problems/suggestions: - Subtasks can only have a date/time, and can't be repeating - Finished subtasks should be grouped by what task they were under - Widget should include subtasks. I organize my Homework List by making each subject a task, and each individual homework as a subtask in each respective subject. With the current widget, I can only see the subjects, which doesn't help me much - More Google assistant integration please!

I use this app for many different things. I’ve created several lists for the various types of crafts I do. It’s been a great way to track both active and planned projects, as well as household and business tasks. I absolutely love this app. I’ve tried many different kinds, but this is by far the best I’ve tried. The only reason I gave a four instead of five is that recurring tasks don’t show up again until the day they are scheduled again. I like seeing all upcoming tasks including repeating tasks. That’s the only change I would make if I were asked how to improve.

Handy notes that go with you. Easy to access from any device or platform

I love this app but could I get a random notification that tells me to check the app so I could remember that I have something to do in the first place?

I tried out Microsoft To-Do and Apple Reminder/ Notepad... I can say for certain that google is the winner.. I was a microsoft user but I have switched all my apps from microsoft to google. Very happy man over here!

Very good application, but not as functional on iOS as on Chrome browser. I wish Tasks would interface with Calendar on iOS the way it does in Chrome.

Love how simplistic the app is, I’ve been looking for an app like this forever. It would be great if you added support for the Today Widget so we can see our list of tasks from the widget without even having to go into the app.

Love it. But widgets! Please!

This app is just what I need to plan my day and week. It’s simple and has timing options that I need.

Love the way it speaks to tasks on my Gmail. Allows me to stay organized whether I'm at my desk or at home.

Un appli pratique, simple et fonctionnel Il n’y a plus grand chose à ajouter Oui une dernière chose il est gratuit

Merci à cet outil fabuleux, disponible gratuitement sur Google, qui facilite énormément mon organisation de façon simple et efficace. Fabio Stilben

Je suis plus que satisfait de votre application. Elle répond à mes attentes. Merci

I feel more organized and have a sense of accomplishment when I can check off when a chore is complete! Pam Jack

I use it every day

I am the type of person that has always needed to write out a daily list to reach my peak productivity. Tasks provides me a well designed tool which I have access to everywhere I take my phone, which is pretty much everywhere. I can mark off tasks from my list as I perform them or at the end of the day when I review my list. There are too many aspects of Tasks that I like, to list them all here. Please take it from me, if you haven’t used this app, try it for yourself and see if you like it as much as I do.

C’est l’Application (avec un grand A) que j’utilise pour ne rien oublier et mettre en évidence ce qui est plus important. J’ai de la difficulté à m’organiser et cette application m’aide vraiment, en plus de tout synchroniser avec mon calendrier.

I’ve had my phone for 3 yrs and I am just noticing this widget. I absolutely love it

Would be nice to reorder stuff on the same date otherwise this is great!

Il faudrait être capable de choisir si on veut verrouiller l’ordre de notre liste et décider si on veut envoyer les taches faites en bas ou seulement les rayer en les laissant dans ´ liste Sinon c’est quand même bien

Looked for reminder app for a long time,each one I used lack a feature, until I used this one

1. Export task list to textable/emailable/ doc format 2. Please allow a task created in the main list to be assigned to a space, not to need to create the task within spaces. Furthermore, create the ability to move a task from one space to another, or to populate multiple spaces. 3. Add Subtask feature to tasks within spaces as well, just as it does in the main task list. 4. Allow to create task templates for repeated work flows, both in main task and within spaces. 5. Integrate tasks with google sheets. Allow a spreadsheet field to convert to a linkable task, by right clicking. Furthermore, allow an entire task list template to create a spreadsheet (with gantt template would be awesome). Allow the task template to populate the spreadsheet with the whole templated task list. This would allow for pipeline work flows that are repateable and easily created. Overall, a good app, but with the amazing new spaces, and the robust google sheets, the lack of integration is stoping the task feature from being 5 stars.

Iris amazing

It’s good, would be better if I could share/collaborate with others

Use it all the time, really helps me stay organized

Recurring tasks created via Google Calendar don’t show in task app

I wouldn’t last a day without it

Facile à utiliser et plusieurs options disponibles pour la récurrence.

It’s handy. Would be better if I could colour coordinate and also it had a filter by due date function etc

For the life of me I cannot locate the app on my iPhone. It used to be on it, now I have to open the app through the App Store that says it is downloaded. Otherwise good.

I would love to be able to color code within the list. Like create a to-do but say anything highlighted purple has to do with house chores, blue is an errand, green is a bill I need to pay. And you can have a personal legend of the Colors being used

It’s goated

Simple To Do App that just works!

J’adore! Je suis super bien organisée grâce à cette App. Très facile à utiliser et hyper fiable. De plus, les tâches s’ajoutent au calendrier Google! 👏⭐️

Great concept and implementation, tasks interact great with Google Calendar! Two things are missing: 1. Collaboration: I wish that it could share lists with others and collaborative complete tasks. 2. Calendars: Would be nice to be able to map/assign a list of tasks to a specific Google Calendar, so it can inherit colour, reminders, access, etc.

I have tried many calendars and tasks apps. None of them are nearly as easy to use as Googles Tasks. It allows me to schedule tasks on my calendar (separate app) which is exactly what I needed. Things it could improve on. There is no way to control how things are seen on the calendar so scheduled events get buried in the tasks for the day and I nearly missed work. Personalization would be amazing even if it was just a couple of choices. Third, it would be really helpful if I could change the font in tasks in someway. Being able to bolden or italic certain words would help. Maybe some color coding. It would be also amazing if Calendar, Tasks and Notes were all one app but I happy with this. All and all I was very happy with it and the fact it is completely free is an added bonus but had to find something else because scheduled events don’t take priority in the app and I desperately need them too. Seriously super easy to use if you need something simple and easy this is it.

I have been using Google Tasks within Google Calendar for years. It’s ability to layer tasks on my calendar made it my task management tool of choice over all others since I use Google Calendar every day. I needed a way to access, add to & edit my tasks on the go, like on the subway, when I think about things I have to do & process my lists. Because Google didn’t have an app, I used GTasks. When Google finally came out with this app I was so excited. I am completely shocked, however, that there is no search feature. This is essential and it seems pretty obviously from an end user work flow standpoint that this would be necessary. When I am thinking about a particular task that I know I have put on one of my lists and want to find it to add to it or adjust the due date; it doesn’t make sense that I have to manually search through hundreds of tasks to find it. That is inefficient. Isn’t the purpose of technology to make things faster & easier.

Love the interconnectivity with Google Calendar. Easy to use. However, could use several improvements. Definitely needs a widget. Ideally, one in the Notification Center where you can mark tasks as complete. Should be able to adjust in Google calendar the length of tasks (change to 15 min duration). Also, needs more customization such as different colors for different lists. Honestly I think making it more similar to the reminder app would be a positive. More ability to edits and create tasks in Google calendar would be great. Also, If possible there should be a way for notifications to say on Lock Screen even after you open your phone (the way reminders app notifications do). Finally, better connectivity to the fantastical app. In the fantastical app, times of tasks are not shown and they show up as all day.

I use this app to list urgent tasks (whereas I use Google Keep to log tasks that aren’t necessarily timely). I like that it is simple and straightforward for this purpose; I can quickly add and cross off new tasks. It is a bit cumbersome at times. I liked the idea that I could add sub-tasks, but you can’t check then off if you are clicked on the master task in edit mode; you can only delete the sub-task entirely or complete the master task, but makes the sub-task capability kind of pointless. Thus, I stopped using sub-tasks. My feed is now very full and unorganized, which is a bummer. One other complaint is that you can’t add a voice memo like you can on Keep. I do think this app has a lot of potential, though, and Google does a good job of making reasonable updates without too much time passing by, in my opinion. I assume it will be adjusted to fit these criteria in the bear future.

Excellent that tasks syncs with Google Calendar and is visible in the Google Calendar widget for iPhone, HOWEVER 1) If I set a task for Friday at 11:00am, it will show up in the Google calendar widget a day before through end of scheduled time (11:30am), but then it disappears! And doesn’t come back until the next day as “Pending task”. Why doesn’t pending task show up immediately after task time frame passes? It means for a big portion of that day I don’t see tasks I might want done before EOD 2) notifications are NOT persistent on Lock Screen for iPhone. They disappear after an hour, WHY 3) tasks and calendar don’t auto sync, you have to open both apps 4) Pending task doesn’t show up in widget until you open widget. In general widget doesn’t necessarily seem to auto update reliably 5) NO LOCK SCREEN WIDGET Otherwise great app and functionality

I love the concept of tasks because its easy and works with my Calendar, but it could just be so much more, especially when it comes to the widget. The widget will just show your tasks in the order you put them on there, not the date that you need the task done by. So currently I have a task for two days from now showing up on my widget before my tasks from today. You also cannot complete a task from the widget — you have to go into the app to complete a task, meaning the widget is just for you to look at rather than interact with. Also, when you close out of Tasks, it will only show your tasks for the list you exited out on, even if there are no tasks or they don’t fill up the space. Its just very inefficient.

I downloaded this app thinking, finally, a simple and clean UI that lets me create subtasks with due dates and room for notes. The bad part is when switching to view your list via Due Date. Say you have a sub task with its own due date. It will get separated from the main task and when clicking on it, have no ties to the main task. An example would be having a main task with a client’s name. And the sub task that says “send invoice”. When clicking on the sub task, there’s no indication to who the client is because it doesn’t link to the primary task. So if you have multiple subtasks that say “send invoice”, you wouldn’t know who it’s referring to. I’m back on Trello and it’s much easier. It’s a bummer because I love Google products but this one isn’t there yet.

The app is very similar and to the point which is perfect for tasks. One thing that could be improved is the UI. The hamburger menu button should be accessible by a gesture swipe from the left side of the screen. Or remove the hamburger menu button completely and replace with a bottom UI bar that everyone is using now. It will be more accessible to all folks versus right hand or left hand dominant users. The create task button is in a different place from other google apps as well which is a little confusing, but not a huge gripe. The last issue I find is the inability to view multiple lists at once. I constantly have to click the menu button and switch lists and that drives me absolutely bonkers.

The app itself seems fine but Google still hasn't solved the issue (or is unwilling to address it) of allowing more than one level of sub tasks. This is highly cumbersome to productivity when it used to simply be this way. It is such an inconvenience I've tried one task app after another looking to replace this but the baseline problem is that I use gmail & the tasks are integrated there. I may need to look into switching my email over which would be a bummer but I'm leaving this here in hopes that a developer will actually listen... Additionally, the app itself regularly opens the microphone / voice input when none was clicked instead of just opening the keyboard when a new task or sub task is started. Another item needing to be fixed that wasn't broken...

1. (Make it able to move more than one tasks at the same time) Long press one and then tap others, so that users could drag and move more than one tasks up and down in order to change its positions 2. Add function that users could add one ore more picture into a certain task that they want to add pictures into to remind users of extra images info. ( long words short: users could add photos) the picture could be made “only visible when certain tasks with pictures imported are tapped, so when certain tasks won’t show complete images but only a mark or some signal to show that “ this task has images imported)

I used to use Wunderlist and since Microsoft biught them out and not released anything with significance, I’ve been look for another app. Well, i just upgraded to the new google and I saw this really simple app. It’s a great start, but it would be helpful to put things on repeat in the same way the calendar app is used where you can repeat tasks every week or every 1st Monday of the month etc. Also, it would help if we could share this app with other people we may be working with. Other things; To have a comment section would be nice. To be able to have printable lists would be really great as well. Wunderlist even had a place where people could vote on features and create ideas where people could vote which allowed developers to know where to focus as they followed what their dedicated users wanted. That would be an amazing feature as we could know that our voice counts. There are some more things, but maybe you can start with these. I will move my rating to 5 stars when I start seeing these things integrated. Thanks for what you have so far

I was waiting for google tasks to get updates which would allow dates/times so I can replace Apple reminders with it. Now that is has all that, I absolutely love it, being able to have it connected to my email account regardless of which device I’m using. However, few little fixes would be great. I like to have my tasks listed in order of date, but when I choose this setting, the order of time is not reflected. I feel like the point of this setting is to have everything in chronological order. Once that is fixed, it should feel even more organized. Also, I feel like the time should show on the side of each task without me having to click on them.

Marking a task complete only truly happens upon opening the Tasks app. If a task is marked complete from a push notification, it doesn’t sync & show as having been completed across other devices or on Google Calendar…that task will still show as active. Only after opening the Tasks app will it then complete the task. This defeats the entire point of having the option to mark something complete from a notification. Likewise, if a task is marked complete in Google Calendar, the phone app will still notify you that the task is overdue, & the notification of that task will remain on the phone until the Tasks app is opened…only then does it sync, finally marking the item as complete.

Google Tasks is very good and I find it simpler to use than Google Calendar, especially with the included widget for the iPhone home screen. Pros: Unlike Calendar Reminders, Google Tasks that are not completed stay on top. Much simpler to use in Google Calendar than Calendar events. But you can still create a task with a specific time for an appointment which is nice. This is subjective because if you need more options with an appointment then you should go with Google Calendar. The widget for iPhone is much nicer in my opinion than the Google Calendar widget. Cons: Can’t search Google Tasks. Why? This is such basic functionality for a task list that it really blows my mind that you can’t search your Tasks. If you have lots of tasks in various lists and quickly becomes unwieldily. Unlike calendar, Tasks can only use one color. Summary: All in all, I really like this app and I started using it in place of Google Calendar. If Google could just add a search feature, it would really improve this app exponentially

No reminder or task app is functional without a notification sound and this is where this app fails. I get a banner in my notification center but no alert sound to go along with it. But I love that I can import my emails into a task! It's easy to write a quick description and set a date/time to be reminded. However, despite the easy to see bullet-point layout and organization there isn't much customization. We can't change the order of tasks manually after creating them, just by date or order the task was created. There should also be an option to add a task reminder for multiple days in a week rather than creating sub tasks to do so. Just fix the notification sound issue and it's a 4 star worthy app!

Good app but user experience is very bad. Do something about it Google. Learn from other tasks apps especially Apple Reminder

Somewhere, someone is designing a calculator that can’t add.

Of what use is a task app if you can't create repeating tasks? This app requires you to create daily tasks for each day, instead of letting you mark them recurring. Time to delete this app. :(

Nothing to write home about. Very basic tasks, which is the only benefit that it is integrated with Gmail in chrome and mobile. But has not been updated is very boring. Really a shame that the largest Internet leader is producing such a basic and unsexy app.

1. It shows notifications “task for yesterday”, to remind me of what I did yesterday. Why, google? 2. It changes task’s time on its own at random moments.

I was hoping to get an app that has notifications and will remind me of my task when they are planned on my calendar at specific hour, but unfortunately it’s not ringing unless the app is opened. It truly sucks.

Very good app, but how is there no ability to perform a keyword search? The name ‘Google’ is now synonymous with search. It boggles my mind that a Google app doesn’t have the ability to run a search within it. Users should be able to run a quick search of completed tasks.

Kindly provide an option to upload files and photos in app.

Would be great to have an option for other pages off page one.

This is devastating. I redownloaded the app, but still all my tasks are vanished

Pointless to show old reminders again and again just because you forget to mark it complete I miss google keep. Hate what they did with the integration.

The widget is ugly and useless, it doesn’t even have checkbox, just texts

Trash app. Full of bugs. Google apps are just like that I guess

No one list to show all tasks from all tabs No alarm or notification when a task is due Developer website link not working

Make a list of all the task by date, to catch up on whats should I do. And please put the intensity of the task to see if its and exam (star is not enough)

I just expect more from a google app

Voila
