TickTick App Review

The Underrated King of Productivity Apps

TickTick is the only app I pay for annually without hesitation. It’s an all-in-one personal productivity powerhouse—combining a to-do list, habit tracker, and calendar, now with seamless Google Calendar integration (which nobody seems to be talking about). If Todoist had this feature, every productivity blogger would be shouting about it from the rooftops. Unlike other to-do list apps that push team collaboration features just to make money, TickTick stays focused on personal productivity. Its macOS app is outstanding, with intuitive shortcuts that make task management a breeze. I’ve tried almost every to-do list app out there, including Todoist, and none come close to TickTick. The only downside is its design, which I personally find lacking. But feature-wise, it’s god-tier. It’s clear that many reviewers haven’t used TickTick long enough to uncover its true potential, because they miss half its features. This app is criminally underrated and, without a doubt, the best in its category.

The best task manager for free

It's the best task manager with a plenty of features that most people can use without pay for a premium version. I have the premium version because the calendar integrations with my company, make my day-to-day so much easier and organized.

Great app, awesome features

I started using ticktick a while back after looking for a good tool to keep track of deadlines, and ticktick is the best I've found. The easy voice input helps me quickly add tasks from my phone even while I'm walking, and the calendar integration is amazing. The NLP is awesome in conjunction with the voice features, and the floating "add task" ball on android is convenient. It has plenty of features like pomodoro timers and an eisenhower matrix which make visualizing tasks easy, my favorite of which is the new weekly calendar view. The constant reminders for tasks and habits is amazing, and the overlay is very helpful rather than just a notification. The interface is clean, and proper subtasks are awesome. I have the premium version for the calendar integration, and it's pretty cheap.

Feature king (minus proper note-taking)

I've been a TickTick user for a long time and have recently shifted to Twos. However, I can't keep myself away from it. I still use it for its Pomodoro features. It offers a focus timer widget on both Windows and Android which I use to track my deep work sessions as advised by productivity experts. It's free and I can even access basis stats. I moved to Twos because TickTick lacked proper note-taking which was also a hindrance for me in connecting my notes with tasks for projects. If it included some proper note taking, I'd have had no reason to leave. With habits, timers, kanban, matrix, prioritization, advance filtering, calendar, mind-blowing widgets on all platforms and more in just a single app, I don't think anyone who uses two apps for notes and tasks will need to look anywhere else.

A complete app with great features, but could use some design improvements.

A complete app, it has all the features you might need for this type of app. I really liked the text note mode, which I think is a feature missing in many similar apps. It could use some design improvements, but overall, it's an excellent app—10/10.
