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.
First and foremost both apps offer offline support. Obviously
RTM 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.
