I am trying out Todoist as well as trying to see if I can create a better view in Asana by using their search and filtering options as opposed to their recommended views. I think that is the best way to evaluate each option as I am right in the middle of a number of projects, and any full scale switch could be quite a time vampire.
Thanks,

P.S. I received brief messages yesterday and today when logging in to Todoist that connections could not be made with their server. I am not sure what the issue is, but I would have been happier not having that message. Curious to see if it continues to appear during my evaluation.

I’ve just started a trial use of IQTell.* This is very preliminary, but so far I’m impressed with the way you can integrate all your e-mail with Evernote and task/project management. They have several tutorial videos on YouTube, worth checking out.

I find Todoist irritatingly inconsistent across platforms (especially with regard to folding).
After much reflection/reanalysis of my now large collection of task management apps, I have to say my votes would go to 2Do (although I’m not sure if it’s available for Windows; it runs on Mac, iOS and Android for sure).
But what I’m starting to prefer over all else is a task management setup based on extensive (ideally rich-text) notes, hence my current use of Ulysses, even though it’s far from perfect. Hence also my interest in Synology’s Note Station.

I can certainly see the attraction of IQtell! Thanks for the tip.

Lucy Van Pelt with a football you are, Steve! :) I have never heard of IQTell, but am interested in checking it out when I have a few moments.
I guess what frustrates me is when you write to a company with specific concerns or suggestions, and you get a response back telling you that they will be forwarded for consideration. I know that most companies cannot spend time explaining or discussing the decisions behind their product’s UI, but it seems like a free pass is given to them when they provide that type of answer. I have learned to evaluate a product exactly as I see it, because most improvements that are desired never seem to make it to the light of day. Perhaps my inner geek is coming to the surface, but I would really like to hear why UIs are designed as they are. And more importantly, I would like to know what the developers know about UI, or are relying on “canned templates” to guide them to their final product. (rant over)
