Love/Hate Relationship

The Any.Do team is ahead of the game by adding features people are actually requesting and need. The Alexa/iOS reminders integration is a hugggge update and is very smoothly implemented (THANK YOU FOR THIS FEATURE!). It boggles my mind that this feature is not the standard for To-do apps, but I digress. The Plan My Day feature is phenomenal. I am a huge procrastinator and this makes it easy for me to plan my day without hassle and frustration. These two things are the biggest selling points for this app, and I LOVE them. However, there are some things that could be greatly improved. Firstly, the calendar portion of the app needs to be overhauled badly. I took one look at it and noped out of there back to Calendars 5. If I could just merge Calendars 5s calendar views into this app, Any.do would be THE best app for its intended purpose. Granted, I love those view options because I am a highly visual person (you may not be), and the whole month view with dots everywhere just looks cluttered and overwhelming to me. However, until there is an update to the calendar section, I will continue to ignore it and focus on the apps awesome to-do list section. The interface looks great for the most part, but I wish there were more ways to customize my viewing experience a little bit (different colors for different lists, "List" Lists view instead of the default "Tile" look, etc). One major issue for me is the way subtasks are handled in this app. It is incredibly frustrating that you cannot rearrange subtasks. Also, subtasks are much too hidden and require one too many steps to get to. Besides subtasks, I greatly wish there was a way to exclude certain lists from your "All Tasks" list and "Plan My Day" feature. I have a daily checklist with a ton of small recurring items (such as "Dont forget teeth whitening strip") that I would like to be able to consolidate into a simple "Complete Daily Checklist" under the "All Tasks" list. I would normally get around this by making a Daily Checklist task and have those small specific things subtasked, but as I stated before, the subtask feature needs to be heavily updated. These frustrations, as few as there are, are detrimental to my usage of the app and keeping me from going all in on premium for the app. However, considering the recent updates and features added, it is quite clear that the Any.Do team is in the business of listening to its customers and innovating. I have a feeling I will be back here to change my review and rating to 5 stars in the months to come. All in all, a great start to an amazing app.
