Comment summary: Remember The Milk offers robust task management features with Google Calendar integration and syncing across devices, but lacks essential functionalities like subtasks unless on the Pro plan, leading to dissatisfaction among some users. The interface, featuring cartoonish elements, divides opinions; some find it unprofessional. Users appreciate its privacy features and web accessibility, but criticize the high cost and stagnation in feature development.

I've been using RTM for literally decades. I don't use any of the advanced/paid features, merely as a reminder/to-do list.

Those reminders can be categorized, prioritized, and set up as recurring reminders. There is a web interface, and dedicated applications for smartphones. And, the reminders can be integrated with online calendar systems and with Thunderbird's calendar, as well.

For my needs, at least, it does everything I want as a to-do list, and it does it very well.

I was a pro user for some time but stagnation of features combined with high cost has driven me to consider migration. It was a good service in 2011 but after 8 years I'm not sure there was 8 years of improvement. Simple feature requests (such as YYYY-MM-DD date display - first requested in 2005) have still gone unimplemented.

2020: I've cancelled my subscription and I'm moving to other services. At this point so many other tools provide improved functionality to what RTM offers and at nearly $40/year it's a poor option.

I am using the free plan. I found the following to be negative.

  • Cannot create subtasks.
  • Not all themes are available

The subtask feature is available in the free plan of other task management tools, so I feel RTM is lacking in functionality. Themes do not need to be all available in the free plan, but I would like at least light and dark themes to be available.

Not a bad app. They have a few functions that are useful, but it's quite complex to use. It is easy to search for what task you are looking for and they also sync pretty quickly. But the interface doesn't suit me, it's a little messy. They should try to change it into something cleaner with less doodles, such as Quire and Trello. If you're looking for something professional and can be used for work, Remember the Milk is not the best choice, to be honest. I would recommend you switch to Trello, Quire, Asana...etc. They have cleaner interfaces, and softwares such as Quire have strong apps to support them.

Even with the free version, I can add notes, priority, & tags. It shows up in my Inbox in Gmail. I choose this notification.

I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a to-do list app

In order to get things done, I want to break down large tasks into subtasks. For Remember the Milk, the subtasks feature requires subscribing to the Pro plan which costs $39.99 / year. I would prefer not to pay a recurring fee for my to-do list. But if I used it every day, then perhaps I could justify it?
