Nozbe Personal: Get tasks done App Reviews

Masterpiece

This is the best project, task and time managing app i have ever used. Very intuitive and simple. Team working is much more easier with Nozbe.

My customer support request fixed

The support team is awesome. I had an issue with the calendar view this last month and reached out to the support team with question and a follow up email conversation. The request has been considered and fixed in the latest version. In general, this application has saved me hours and has kept me productive and focussing on the needed items only in my pursuit of GTD. You guyz rock and keep up the good work.

Exactly what I needed

I wanted a basic to-do list that would sync between my devices. This app does that admirably. It has more funtionality than I need to use, but Ive found some tricks (like a "daily routine" project with the tasks recurring daily) that make it even easier than I had hoped. You cant go wrong giving this app a try!

cant even repeat Mon/Wed/Friday???

Its been YEARS and STILL you cant even do a simple repeat like - Mon/Wed/Fri - or every Tuesday and Thursday…. - every other program does this BASIC feature, Nozbe would be great , I just dont understand how you are not pushing this out, just read the forums, its a HUGE reason people are not switching.. very disapointing

Great app! How is this not more well known!

Just found this app and it’s great! The quick add features including the ability to # define details is great. I love the projects/catgeories/priority system. Responsive support team. Love it

Hands Down, The Best Task Management Service/Apps You Can Get

This is a great service. Hands down better than Asana, Toodledo, and all the others. It’s got apps on all platforms and the boss and company are extremely responsive. The problem is the price. For one individual user, we’d be willing to pay, but it should be priced at about $30 USD in that case. They give you two users for $78 USD if you pay annually. They also do a very good job with keeping the app up to day and promoting the GTD (getting things done) concept of task management.

Very good productivity app, with potential to be the best

You begin to use Nozbe with small projects and then you put more and more of your stuff into it every day. Just because it’s simple and powerful and also very elegant. Very easy to add tasks to projects and connect them with contexts (i.e. errands, home, telephone). I can see all of my next actions at a glance. I can sort my projects easily, label them with certain colors to get a better overview, I can as well (but don’t have to) add deadlines, estimated time needed to complete a taks and so on. It integrates perfectly with Evernote and Google Calendar (and I think some more apps). On the bottom line, I am just starting to explore all the possibilities (I haven’t tried the collaboration tools yet). I contacted their customer service twice and they have been fast, friendly and effective. Nozbe seems to be a well-run company. Definitely makes me more productive.

Ive tested them all… THIS is the #1 GTD, Get It Done, Save Me Time, Keep Me Organized System!

PS: And it works on my Mac, iPhone, iPad and Windows PC. Simple and extremely powerful. Love it!

Excellence through constant refinement

Everything in Nozbe makes sense. This is hands down the most valuable GTD software I have used. Through a full year of Nozbe usage, I have seen constant refinements that make this app just about perfect. The integration with Evernote and Dropbox is seamless, making it the hub of all things that need to get done. I wouldnt know what to do without Nozbe.

Beta?

Nozbe for Mac looks like it will be a great app in the future but right now it seems more like a beta than a 1.0 or 1.1 release. The menus are not complete and there are no keyboard shortcuts in place - to me no keyboard shortcuts means I wont be using this app for now, however, I will check back later.

Not bad, Need More Subtasks

Once again, I just cant find a GTD that allows enough subfolders/tasks. I need: Master folder/Client/[Multiple] Jobs/tasks (which are assignable to people or groups). Great job so far, but I cant use it seriously as a real work-task manager, only general to-do stuff.

Could be good

I wanted to like this app but the integration with Evernote does not work for me and Nozbe has not communicated a solution. I ran every different scenario with Two user accounts and three different devices, and different iOS and OSX versions. It syncs reminders from Evernotes once and after that Nozbe communicates to evernote but no more sync of any changes or new reminders from evernote. Unless the problem is with Evernote the sync just does not work and without deep evernote integration the app is sub par compared to the competition and price. If Nozbe can fix it then I can change this review but until then it has been turned off and deleted.

It eats up cpu time

I like the software but this version eats up cpu time. (Which did not happen with the previous version) Hope it wll be fixed soon.

Cant execute

After update, Nozbe app crashed... I send bug report (including core dump) to Apple.

mh... that

That would be a great application! But: - You have to pay, otherwise you can manage only 5 projects, not enough to start. - You cant manager sub-tasks, or subsequent actions to complete a task. - You dont have a nice way to see the % of execution of a task. Its a pity becouse it could be one the best tool I found.

Nice UI design!

Good GTD software, very very useful. :D

Glaring Omissions

Unlike another reviewer, I did not find the UI to be "nice" at all. The colors chosen are too subtle, making it difficult to see, for example, whether the star on a task is turned on or not. It is also not even remotely like any Mac UI standard interface. Apparently, while the description implies otherwise, "projects" and "contexts" are the same thing. Also, the free app does not allow you to create more than 5 contexts even if you choose not to have an online account. I could go on, but Ill just throw in the deal-breaker for me, which is the glaring omission a feature any time-management tool must have in order to actually manage time: a task timer. Obviously different people have different needs. But I round-filed this applicatioon as "not useful".

Nice design, but some missing pieces...

Im constantly on the hunt for better todo apps. Nozbe caught my eye and after installing the app on my Mac and signing up for a free online account, here are some conclusions: THE GOOD - Very clean looking, sleek design. One of the best Ive seen. - Extremely fast and responsive. - Easily drag-and-drop tasks to reorder them. (However, see the missing drag-and-drop features in "Bad" section below.) - Very helpful and intuitive buttons on right side of task page that shows at a glance which features have been assigned to that task already and which ones are still available. Excellent design! - Certain details can be added inline directly while typing in a new task... # makes a drop-down list appear with choices for date, context, etc. Makes entering tasks much faster. THE BAD - Very disappointed to see that this app has NO keyboard shortcuts... not even the industry standard Cmd-N to create a new task! It forces you to use the mouse for everything. Mac users will find this very sluggish and unpleasant! - NO user-defineable preferences whatsoever in this app! - Cannot change the first day of the week from Monday to Sunday. This really throws you off when looking at the drop-down monthly calendars! - No task priorities can be set. - You can set a time "duration" for tasks, but sadly you cannot set a "due time" for a task. This is a huge missing piece because so many daily tasks have to be started at a certain time or completed by a certain time. - Cannot create any alerts for tasks. Again, this is a deal killer for me. I need to set tasks with alarms that will pop up and remind me of certain things that I have to do at specific times. "Call client at 3:00 PM," for instance. - Repeating/recurring tasks can be set, but only basic patterns. You cannot create "1st Tuesday of every month" recurring tasks, for example. Thats too bad, and this is another deal-killer for me, because tasks in the real world dont always happen neatly every week, every day, etc. - Tasks with dates automatically move from the Inbox to Next Actions when their due dates arrives, which is perfect. But I cant figure out why those tasks are also left in the Inbox. You end up with 2 copies of each task... one in Next Actions and one in the Inbox. Its confusing. - While the Mac app is really beautifully designed (one of the best Ive seen), the online interface has a 1980s feel to it, especially the calendar and other items on the right-hand side. Mac users will cringe when seeing that page, because it is clearly designed like an outdated Windows interface. Ugh!! - One of the good features I mentioned above was the ability to drag-and-drop tasks. However, this apps drag-and-drop capabilities fall FAR short of the drag-and-drop capabilities of Nozbes online interface. When signed into your online account, you can drag a task to a Context, into a different Project, to a specific date on the calendar, or even to a more general area on the calendar like This Week or Next Week. Sadly, you cant do any of that in this app. Too bad, because the online version of Nozbe is far too ugly for me to use every day. Hopefully these missing features will be added soon. Ill keep my eye on future updates, but until then, I simply cant make this my #1 task management app... there are just too many critical missing pieces.

Really Good Platform for Project and Task Management

Just like veryone else, Im always looking for a better project and task manager. Nozbe had been recommended to me before, but I had never taken the plunge. I have now, and Im so glad that I did. Its very customizable, agile, and allows me to design my workflow, while maintaining enough rigidity to force me into productivity. Great mobile apps paired with this Mac app makes this a powerful tool - and I will surely GTD.

Nozbe Supercharges To Do

Nozbe is the first program that I have found effective in allowing me to manage multiple projects with mutliple people in all kinds of contexts. I use it at work and at home, for my call, my household projects and for work projects. I have added family members to my plan so we can manage projects together. I have used many other kinds of project management software and I find Nozbe to be the "Very Best in Class"
