I bought it but have not fully implemented it. To me, the biggest missing feature is saved searches. While it is fairly easy to filter your lists on the
mac, it is a pain on the iPhone. Saved searches that sync to the phone would really make the iPhone aOremore useful.

For everyone who is having doubts (as the interface looks so simple): THINGS is most definitely a must have.

It works flawlessly with iCal and I find it very nice that you have the option to create different projects to which you can assign reminders and tasks. I wish it would also be available on Windows, so I could use the software at work as well.

The major feature of a competitor, OmniFocus, which I use (and I don’t work for them) that I don’t see mentioned here, is that OFocus syncs with my iPhone. A contextual to-do list is not that useful if you cannot take it with you, and having to print out your lists each day sounds a bit of a PITA. Does Things sync with iPhone or blackberry or anything like that?

Is Things perfect? No. Are there things about it I would change? Yes. All in all, this is THE most important app…Mac or iPhone that I use. I have tried so many GTD apps and add-ins and this is, lights out, the best one I have found.

Determining whether or not $49 is too high, is really up to the user. Personally, I feel there is way more value in Things than I would get out of holding on to my $49 and I believe there is a market out there who agrees. If you are considering Things, I would recommend giving it an honest test drive. I firmly believe you will agree. You may not like parting with the dough, but likely will, because in this day and time, time is money.

As a student, I say I love Things very much. It helps me out in many works and projects very effective and easy. I’m now using it everyday on my Ipod Touch 2nd gen. and on my Mac.

Compare to OmniFocus? Things looks a lot easier while provide you with necessary features. I love the Someday box, Today box, and Inbox box of Things. But more importantly, I love how both Things on Mac and iPod Touch sync with each other EVEN WITHOUT wireless network.

49$ isn’t that costly when compare to what I get in return. Very good spending of money.

It’s a nice looking and overall well working tool, but comparing with the tools on the market – MUCH TOO EXPENSIVE. EasyTask is a third of the price (iPhone programm is free), not so good looking like Things but works well in every day life. So for Things:
Look: *****
Functionality: ****
Price/Effort: *

So, how does this compare with OmniFocus, the current king of Mac GTD software? I notice it does do iPhone sync. OmniFocus is pretty good, I’d like to hear a comparison.

Price is just too high. Nice app otherwise, I’ve run the timed demo and like it a lot, just not $49 a lot.

This looks like a good idea, no doubt.
But $49.95 is a bit steep really…
Ten to fifteen bucks cheaper and I might bite, and probably a whole bunch others.

I have been using Things since early beta and it has continued to impress as more features are released. The developers know how to add functionality without a bloated UI.

I was happy to pay the price as it has truly helped my productivity level.

Things hits the sweet spot of keeping you in control of your actions, commitments and project and not overwhelming you with endless features and a overloaded UI. I switch from OmniFocus to Things for this exact reason. Together with it iPhone/Ipod Touch companion, it really keeps you focused also when on the road.

There are still some features missing and the team of CultureCode seems to pretty committed to address these by at the same time retain the simplicity of the application. One of the missing features is syncing Things across multiple Macs, but there are good work-arounds using Dropbox or MobileMe’s iDisk – check this tutorial to make Things sync across multiple machine: http://tinyurl.com/dea63a

Also to mention: There is great support and a lively community on Things. The Wiki and Forum at the Cultured Code page holds real gems.

Things combined with the GTD methodology works beautifully in my experience. I’m more productive and organized than I’ve ever been. I also use the Things iPhone application regularly and appreciate being able to take my lists with me and the ability to add items as I think of them. I’m hoping they’ll add a web app at some point (similar to Evernote) and the ability to sync between multiple computers (Mac and Windows would be ideal).

Awesome app for GTD… clean, simple and functional. The UI is very nice and the app doesn’t over-deliver.

Do you actually do something, apart from reviewing “Getting Things Done” apps ? If not, these are probably pointless…
