Gneo: To Do Task List and Calendar Manager App Reviews

140 add

My most productive self at last!

I stumbled upon this app picked the Editors Choice. So wonderfully more than lists, I had to dust off my Evernote apps. And its so seamless. Great for culinary school & my personal life, all there for me in one place. Highly recommended.

Looks ugly on my iPhone 6

When will you update this app now looks great on my iPad but hate to use it on my iPhone 6 pls add iPhone 6 support asap ...

Not for me-bland

Got this (paid for it) after reading reviews and seeing it got an Editors Award. I find it isnt an app I am attracted to use. The blah gray colors are a negative. No choice to add color, that I can find. The non-traditional display of scheduled events doesnt help me visualize my day well. Wish they had offered a free trial version so I could have realized this before I bought it.

Strategic Task Management

Evernote sync allows for tie-in to personal knowledge base, and strategic Covey Quadrant foundation keeps the right things in focus. Web or Mac version would be great... but totally workable at present through Evernote Sync on desktop. I keep my heavy planning in Evernote (outside of Gneo) and then use TaskClone to pipe todos into Gneo notebooks for execution.

Disappointed

The screen design looks good, idea looks good but the app has bugs on basic work flow. When I create recurring task, it is created but not added in the calendar. This makes me to create repeated tasks every day. I am expecting at least the basic work flow should work without errors. This app is eating lot of time in creating repeated tasks.

Revises Evernote notes

If it wouldnt reformat each Evernote note it touches, it would be much better. Even changing the reminder date seems to reformat the Evernote note.

Almost there, but still better than most

Ive tried at least 10 other todo apps and systems, and Gneo is the one Ive settled on. Its intuitive, innovative, and has features not often found elsewhere (e.g.basic goals, important-urgent matrix). I love seeing the tasks mixed right in with my schedule - thats an inspired layout. The help system, though a bit buggy for me, is pretty extensive too. The Evernote integration is a huge plus since it makes everything PC-friendly. And their blog is fabulous and thought-provoking. That said, there are a few deficiencies. First, the font choice and size is awful for those who dont see very well, and theres no way to change it. Second, the tiny icons are almost useless given their size and lack of color. Third, the goal section is not (yet) really integrated. Fourth, its a bit overpriced, though in fairness at least theres no ongoing cost like so many other todo apps. And finally, it does seem to significantly drain the battery at the present time. I really hope they fix that one!! There havent been many updates lately. Heres hoping there are lots of great new enhancements in 2015, because this is officially my favorite todo app!

Do not like at all

Customer service never gets back to you and now the app wont even open. At first it just kept force closing and now it wont open and is completely useless.

Crashes Every Time I Open It

Very disappointed. Used to love this app. But since the last update, it wont open. Ill click it, and it just automatically crashes. Been like this for at least a month now. Very very frustrating. Especially since I paid for this.

Disappointing

The app is clunkier than it looks in pictures. Too many touches are required to do things. Every time I swipe right to delete a task a pop-up appears to confirm the decision (just annoying). Overall, just not as nice or well-designed as it is made out to be.

Outstanding app!

I have a complex job for which I need to track tasks for my own research, things I have asked my team to do, and input from colleagues. This app is a game changer. I had previously tracked tasks in Omnifocus, but it was too easy to mark a task done and then lose the info in it. The link between Gneo and Evernote is the real solution here. I also love the use of the Eisenhower Decision Matrix.

Worst Evernote ap yet...

I purchased this for a considerable few dollars. Wont open on os8 on an iPhone 6. I want my money back!!!

Clean, Snappy, Efficient

That priority grid is wonderful, the gestures are intuitive and prevent the screen from being too cluttered, and all the options for added files in a to-do are very handy. Very good app!!

Great, with room for improvement

I like the functionality of this app so far and thank you for adding Iphone 6 optimization. :))) I can tell already that it is very powerful, robust with features while maintaining simplicity and usability. It is one of the best productivity apps I have used since the birth of smart phones. A few feature requests however: •An added option to create sub-tasks underneath main tasks so you can plan and even schedule step by step execution would be amaaazing. Perhaps the sub tasks could be added via the main task panel, kind of similar to the notes feature. And then those addons could be viewed via a dropdown under the main task that expands or collapses with a tap - there is no current function for a simple tap gesture so this would fit right in.

A good app in the sea of task managers

This looks great, syncs well and does a great job getting things done. In the vast sea of todo apps, this does shine through. Suggestions: 1) a desktop app or web app; 2) the ability to set a task for a day but not a time; 3) the ability to prioritize daily tasks; 4) a daily or weekly review of some kind so I can see what is coming up

Really good at what it does

If you buy into the system its great. I really like the ability to schedule tasks. Evernote integration is great. Email a not to your Gneo inbox notebook and youve got a task in Gneo!! For me there just something a little off putting about the interface. The slider for example feels a little dated. But otherwise I cant complain!

One of the best task apps

Ive tried a bunch of task apps. From todo lists to GTD optimized apps and none have been as good at Gneo. There are some things Id love to have, such as check off for goals and maybe something to have they come front and center on launch, but its such a minor issue that it doesnt take away from the usage. Also love how it ties in with Evernote so well.

Honestly I expected so much more

I buy all todo productivity apps it is a sickness I am addicted. All Omni focus, toodist, things, check marks, due, grocery list, dude all of them. I keep them all installed 128 gb and say I use them for different things but honestly it is just less organized overall and theres no good system I use but I love making lists and using the various different aspects of each one for whatever task i put in it. Omni and gneo were the last two I let myself get (as it took a couple months looking in the App Store every day knowing one day I would buy them). Im super disappointed with both. Honestly even more so this one. I use Evernote the most of any of my apps as well. No real explanation. To be honest just not smooth to use didnt create itself in like an organized enough manner in my Evernote. Dunno try it urself it is the only true way to tell. But gneo was a huge let down for me.

Has potential

This is well designed and useful but the sync with Evernote is faulty. If you rely on a system that will receive emails as tasks/events, this is not it. Also, the calendar sync needs to evolve. Too pricey for the current weaknesses.

Google/sunrise integration

Guess would be better if having google calendar or sunrise the calendar app supports rather than only apples. Looking for Sth like gneo plus Todoist
