4 features I love (and don't love) in Things 3

[@chriscardoso]

Are you currently using Things 3 or a different task management tool?

[@jackan04]

Just switched back to Reminders after using Things 3 for a while!

[@davidwagner4210]

Nice objective evaluation of Things 3. I have a love hate relationship with it for one simple reason. You can't complete recurring tasks early. Drives me crazy, and pushes me back to reminders.

[@chriscardoso]

Agreed. I love the design of things 3, but there are a few quirks that are dealbreakers for me.

[@RameshKumar-ng3nf]

Recurring tasks we can complete early in things3 . If you dont know please check with other regular users before complaining.

Thanks so much for this video! I was about to buy the mac and iphone version but started having doubts since I’m just a college student. This video made me reconsider. Total money saver. Thanks!

[@chriscardoso]

Thanks for checking it out! Glad it helped!

Good vid. For getting to date field, hit Tab Tab. For repeating, you can right click on task to make repeating. Agree about background sync, hopefully they fix that!! Agree on Calendar integration. I still like the UI. I set commands for individual important tags. I put emojis in the tags so they pop.

[@chriscardoso]

Ahh good info. Thanks for sharing and watching!

The widget not getting refreshed is an iOS constraint, not Things 3. Sadly, this is the same for all todo apps including Reminders

[@chriscardoso]

Yup, I found that out after recording. That’s a big bummer on the iOS side.

[@RameshKumar-ng3nf]

Bro, new to your channel and subscribed. Regarding recurring /repeating tasks. If we right click on the task you will get "repeat" option. There is no need to go to File -> New repeating to-do. I see lots of people complaining about this in things3 but this is already there in things3 in the task itself.

Your mic is great. What are you using?

[@chriscardoso]

This video is using the Tascam DR-10L lapel microphone. But I’ve since upgraded to the Rode PodeMic.

[@eshwarnag]

For making a normal task into a repeating task, you just have to assign a date and then it allows you to make it a repeating task just like reminders. Not the best, but need not go to the menu for this

[@chriscardoso]

Ahh. I didn’t know that. Thank you!

[@DeMenteMinds]

To repeat a todo in Things Mac you can just right click the todo and select repeat

[@chriscardoso]

That's a good tip. Thank you!

[@MrSidverse]

Great video. But the sync issue you talked about is the problem on iOS 17. They stop background syncing. Many developers have already reported the same issue to apple.

[@chriscardoso]

Oh wow. I didn’t know that. Is this intentional for iOS17 or a bug?

[@Pepella]

I've used the app many years ago and it was doing the same, so either it's an app problem and not of ios 17, or the systemic problem persists since many ios iteration.

Nice video, please talk about tick tick or make a review

[@chriscardoso]

I’ll have to look into it. What do you love about tick tick?
