Firetask for Android

My favorite app just got better with dark mode. Thank you!

I tried many task/todo/kanban management apps and this one is the best I’ve found. I’ve tried bending others into a good GTD workflow but each left me overwhelmed - either with a long list of tasks or with work involved in managing them. Firetask gives me a focused view of my tasks. Is easy to add them, and has plenty of options for tagging. You can even use a Kanban view, though I find Kanban less useful in digital form. The today and next 3 day views are indispensable in keeping me focused on what needs to be done. It can be a little confusing at first, just create some sample items, play with the tagging, and soon you’ll understand what works best for you and how the app works. The iCloud sync works well, so you can stay in sync with the Android OS counterpart app. Don’t waste your time with other apps, this one has what you need and is smartly designed.

This review is a little jaded because of my requirements. What I wanted was an app that can sync with my iOS reminders as they are along with the Tasks that sync from my Outlook and give me a Kanban view of them. This creates a reminders list called “Firetask” on my Mobile (it does not sync with “my” reminders or tasks - it creates a new list). I don’t want another list to manage - I want to manage the ones I have. The tasks on my Mobile can be synced via cloud with another device but what I wanted was something that took all of my lists and gave me a better view. If you are not looking for what I just described, this works great. For me, I’ll have to go searching again or wait for an update if this is the direction the vendor is going.

Easy to use with some unique and useful options. The Kanbana type view with cards is very useful for brainstorming, and organizing if you are a visual thinker. It has my favorite name for a task/management/list type app, too.

I’ve tried more task management systems but I would want to admit – including earlier versions of Firetask. The latest version pulls it altogether in a cohesive system that is fast and efficient, once you get the hang of it. Highly recommended.
