Doesn’t connect to apple calender
Can’t use it for anything, doesn’t even connect to my calender? Built for iOS? Useless app.
No Apple Calendar Integration
No Apple Calendar integration in 2026 is insane. You won’t be able to add your calendar events to Todoist unless you use Google Calendar or Outlook. There are a lot of people that don’t want Google or Microsoft to have access to their personal calendar. Unfortunately, Todoist doesn’t care about those people.
Support not responding
I’ve been a paid subscriber for over 8+ years. Lost access a week ago. Restore doesn’t work. Support not responding. Already submitted two tickets 7+ days ago.
Useless Trash - & Privacy Concern!
Privacy concern because they have access to your data and there’s no opt out! Every platform I’ve used has an opt out except this one. Also - the app is useless. I didn’t increase my productivity in any way using this app. They keep sending annoying emails and spam notifications daily and trying to get you to upgrade. Also the interface is horrible and totally unintuitive. Total trash app how does this have 5 stars, unreal.
Missing important feature
This application does a great job with task management. But it’s missing a major feature. It must be launched and running in the background to use quick entry or to receive notifications. There should be a helper file running in the background at all times, even when the main app is not running so that no notifications are missed and quick entry is available.
Disaster
Upgrade erased all future items and reverted back 2 months
Why take away the swipe to select option
Now I have to use both hands because they depreciate swipe to select. Makes working super hard on my phone now
Great with one major flaw
ONE STAR! Todoit is great for solo tasks, quick tasks, reminders, labels but it COMPLETELY FAILS at team stuff. How do you miss something this obvious? A whole @mention system with zero way to actually see them. It’s like they built a killer solo planner then forgot the “team“ part. You text someone, they get pinged but good luck trying to find it later without scrolling through every SINGLE random alert in their notifications section. Feels lazy honestly, like why even have mentions if there’s no way to surface them? I reached out multiple times but no replies. Looks like I may have to look for a better team application unless this gets fixed soon
Customer Service is Nonexistent
I recently purchased and annual subscription to Todoist but unfortunately the app doesn't appear to recognize that I did. I submitted a support ticket (actually several) since there is no way you can actually speak to a human and they have yet to address this concern.
Horrible
They’ll take your money & support never answers
App unusable with current bug
Cannot add a task - when you click the red plus button (or any other option to add a task) the creation window pops up but then the whole thing freezes. I have to then force close the app and have not been able to create any tasks through mobile app. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled and it still doesn’t work.
Buggy.
I’ve deleted and reinstalled and still can’t add a task or create a new list. I click the red button and every field is non responsive and I can’t dictate. Fully can’t use the app bc of the bugs
update
it sucks. they got rid of the general tab which is the most useful list and force you to date everything. also many features are now behind a pay wall
Waste of money
The app is no different from a regular to do list. I dont think it helps with organization or productivity. I want my money back
Latest Update deleted all new tasks from my Wedding folder.
Hopefully I will just happen to remember everything I have to do…
My todos are gone after update
I installed the update and my todos are gone! Also nothing happens when I click on the plus sign, this is so buggy.
No longer supporting older iOS and shutting down!
I’ve been paid a user of this app for years. It’s helped me manage my cognitive needs as a part of my disability. Some of the updates to this app have made it less accessible and when I’ve reached out, I’ve never gotten a response. Now, the developers/management have decided to no longer support devices below iOS 17 and they are shutting my version down. My devices STILL work and I cannot afford to buy new things. These business decisions are made because the bottom line matters more than access and people with special needs do not matter. That is a horrible thing to experience. I can’t express my disappointment to loose access (and the energy I’ll need to use to learn something new) when this app stops working across my devices if I don’t spend money to get new stuff. AND the browser isn’t supported on a mobile device when they shut down the app! Their response to my “no longer supported device is that I can use it on my other devices. For the well-healed crowd apparently! And they just charged me for another year and none of my devices work!
Not for Mobile Phone Users
And purchase this app, as it was highly recommended by AI. Although this it has some nice features, it is designed primarily for desktop and businesses, not individual mobile phone users. 1) you were unable to easily sort your task by context such as phone errands, etc. compare this to Apple reminders she’s basically a one and done. I updated the app just now to see if some of the issues were resolved, and they were not. In fact, they were worse. Sort by contacts, which is foundational to the clarify step in GTD, go to browse, select filters, choose one filter (if you choose more than one, it won’t even sort at all), go back to inbox, and you’ll see just the items in the context/filter you chose. The new update changed this so that it’s even less convenient for mobile users. 2) lack of easily accessible Health Center for mobile users when browsing for a help help topic. The mobile app did take you to YouTube. The YouTube videos show you how to use the feature you’re searching on the desktop version. If you’re lucky, there’ll be a small section at how to use a feature for your phone.
I could go on, but hopefully you get the idea. It’s really quite pitiful.

A great app but…
I HATE apps that constantly remind me to leave reviews.
Todoist… thanks for the reminders.
Todoist… thanks for the reminders.
Do not purchase
The payments make it through your bank account but not the software. It is apparently a regular problem for this app. No money and no premium features.
Widgets?
I really enjoy the use of this app, and have enjoyed the prior Widgets. Unfortunately, the recent update the widget disappeared.
Cuteness
I wish it was cuter and more aesthetic
New app feels bad
Todoist user for 8 years and the new version just “feels” bad. Theres no feedback when you scroll down to refresh. You have to swipe further than necessary to do a quick action. The interface organization is a mess and isn’t remotely similar to desktop. Very, very bad. Please work on this
Not good for managers or actual leaders
I gave this app a fair shot but it lacks support for seeing all events during a day as imported from multiple calendars.
In my role I have multiple meetings per day as well as tasks to accomplish. This app only shows 4 meetings, with the rest hidden.
For those with numerous meetings, activities, and engagements that need to be tracked while squaring tasks in between, this app falls flat.
It might be good if you don’t have any meetings and you are only using this app for personal errands or a grocery list.

Can’t even create a task
Clicking the red plus button opens a menu to enter a new task at which point the app becomes unresponsive and tapping anywhere does nothing. Does not bode well. At least you guys have a fancy ui I guess
I want out!
How do I unsubscribe from this mess? there is no clear, cut way to unsubscribe. They make it difficult so you’ll give up trying. I’ve been trying for 45 minutes and still don’t know if I have unsubscribed or not. I don’t use this application enough a warrant paying for it any longer. Buy everywhere.
