I know this wasn't a review per se of OmniFocus, but I figured you might get some use out of my thoughts on the genre in general.īottom line - I use Things on my iPhone and Mac. I can't say what using it is like since I didn't buy - and won't - but I can say that the use of the iPad for task management is dubious based on the cons I listed above. If it does, then it might be a heck of a lot better task manager than Things. I don't know if OmniFocus for iPad has cloudsync. With iOS4 that's not a big deal on the iPhone - and on your Mac it's not either - but on the iPad it means leaving your current context entirely - whatever that happens to be - which once again imo renders the experience less than stellar. So I don't know - how much do you currently use your iPad? Does it coincide with the times where you are likely to use a task manager? And remember that to "enter" tasks - and to read them - you have to fire the app up. If it had cloudsync it would likely get some use. What does all this mean? Well I stopped using Things on my iPad since I don't use my iPad in most of the contexts where Things would be useful (e.g. Totally non-functional for real world usage. Works great for the first three times you try it and you're all excited about the feature. While Things does have a sync feature, it uses your Mac as a hub, and you have to have it running on both systems on the same network at the same time. So - what's my Things experience been like? I loved using it, but the lack of a cloud sync is a deal killer. Seems expensive, unless you put your time management in perspective, then it seems like a bargain. So I decided to buy Things for Mac, then iPhone, then iPad. Just for perspective, I love Omnigraffle so I am in no way an Omni* hater. I feel it's overly complex and I didn't like using it as much as I liked Things. Thank you for reporting spam and other rule-breaking content.
