Steve,
I looked at a few of their tutorials last night, and the program certainly seems a step beyond many of the current crop of task mangers when it comes to tracking more than just the task, its attachments, and any notes. I do not have time at present to give it a decent trial, but hope to do so sometime in the near future. But, I would be interested in hearing your assessment when you have spent some time with the program.
I like that they allow you to combine documents, notes, tasks, mail and possibly more within a project. However, I do not like that their Android app reviews had a number that were critical of the program’s development, support and identified bugs. I am mostly focused on using this on the desktop, but a badly supported app is not usually a good sign.

Ken,
I’m just getting started with IQTell too. The way it allows you to combine various types of information in one project (including Evernote notes) is what attracts me too. They also allow you to use the service for free for two full months, I think. That’s a generous trial period.

For years I have been using OmniFocus on OS X, iOS and now on the Watch. I’ve periodically stopped using it and intensely tried other applications. Recently I spent a month with Todoist. If I were starting out on task management I think I would settle on Todoist. After my month trial, I was pleased with the simplicity of the interfact, it’s ubiquity across devices and the web, and its apparent flexibility. (My month included the month of free Premium as a trial, so I examined all features.)
At the end of the trial, I went back to OmniFocus because of cussed laziness. I have a very large and deep history of information in OF and I can’t think of investing the time to convert. (I did that once a couple of years ago when I converted everything to Things then grew frustrated with it.)

Hey Ken,
if you want to participate in building the UI for the task management tool, install Yanado and contact support (I will contact you anyway).
Disclaimer: I’m CEO of Yanado and I’m not promoting our tool here just asking for feedback from people that want to give one.
Cheers!
Ivan

I recently switched from Things which I had been using since it first came out to Todoist. The lack of start times was a big problem, but I’ve managed to work around that. The key elements which make todoist work for me are as follows:
- cross-platform collaboration. I found I was using one app for my personal tasks and another for collaboration. This violates what I consider to be the key rule of GTD: only have one inbox. Todoist has excellent collaboration and the other user need not have a premium account for it to work,
- nice integration with gmail. Again, one inbox. I no longer keep messages in my gmail inbox, I just send them to todoist. On the iPhone I use cloudmagic.
- sub tasks. Things was too flat for me and todoist allows me more flexibility.
Although I have some frustrations with todoist, I don’t regret my move.
PS: an interesting app to look at is moo.do, it still doesn’t work for me, but I think it is an interesting approach.
