Remember The Milk iPhone app Comparison

November 6, 2008 Leave a comment

Ok so I’ve been using Remember The Milk to manage my todo list for sometime now. I love being able to access it from everywhere. Back when I got my iPhone, getting access to RTM was one of the first things I wanted to do. At the time I was only using the online mobile site that RTM offers. This was fantastic by itself later I purchased the ToDo app by Appigo. This has been the best purchase I’ve made for my phone to date. So just the other day RTM releases their own app for the iPhone. Great right after I buy something a free version comes out. Sobiys free and I figured I’d check it out. Here is my review and comparison of the two.

image First and foremost both apps offer offline support. Obviously imageRTM is free while Appigo charges. Beyond that both offer mostly the same features. The RTM app looks very similar to  the mobile site they offer. The fields are similar except that this app allows you to customize which fields are displayed on task entry. The lists view is similar to the online version.

So switching to Appigo ToDo, the interface feels like an integrated iPhone app something that might have been there since day one. It supports synchronization with two different online services. The interface offers a quick entry feature which allows you to just enter the title and be done. It also offers the same lists and views as the RTM app and site. One nice feature is the fancy completed options. Simple but I like it. This feature allows you to strike out, or cross off or otherwise mark the tasks as complete per your own preference.  One final thing is that the Appigo app seems to have better data entry options. The priority option is an easy to hit set of buttons rather than a select box, and a few other minor things that just make it feel better.

Having purchased Appigo ToDo I and also downloading the RTM app I have to lean toward the Appigo app. Having said that though, the RTM app is free and is very good. If you can drop a few bucks get Appigo, otherwise grab RTM. Either way Remember The Milk continues to be the best productivity tool I’ve accessed.

Bite Size: ToDo List with RememberTheMilk.com

August 8, 2008 2 comments

Being a rather scatterbrained person, I’m always looking for ways to stay on track and keep organized. After working with the Franklin Covey system and GTD productivity systems the main thing I found lacking was integration with my digital life. Remember The Milk is a great solution for managing all your ToDos.

Right off the bat, RTM manages simple Task lists with no configuration needed. It manages tasks with due dates and even locations. These tasks can be organized into lists for easier management.  The customization features allow you to set up lists, categories and reminders to match whatever productivity system you ascribe to.

The real benefit of the system is it’s wide variety of integration options. The system integrates with many popular applications and sites. Do you use GMail and Google Calendar? RTM integrates right into the flow. There are also a variety of desktop application integration points. My personal favorites are the ability to email tasks to RTM to be added to your list. My wife emails me simple ToDo items like “Pick up milk on the way home” that show up right on top of my daily ToDo list. When I’m in the store if i forget what she asked for I just jump on to RTM with the iPhone integration and quickly see what I missed.

This is a great tool that everyone should check out.
