Wunderlist Task App

I'm trying a new task management app to see what the fuss is all about.

For a while I've been using the Pocket Informant app for both iPhone/iPad. I like it because it plays nicely with (i.e., syncs with) Google Calendar. I'm usually not a Google supporter (I have my reasons), but I do like having an online version of my calendar that I can have easy access to if I so desire. Even though I make all my calendar entries via my iOS device, it's nice to know the web interface is there if I want it. Ok, truth be told, I simply like how Informant looks compared to iCal. Not to mention Google calendar is so much easier to share.

So, what's the new app?

Enter Wunderlist.

Informant is a great calendar system. I dig the layout and how easy it stays in sync on all my idevices. No complaints here. But I have yet to feel real comfortable with the tasks feature. Not to mention, the tasks do not sync with Google calendar. I'm basically trying Wunderlist to satisfy my desire to see if a stand alone task app would make me happier.

So far it does. I'm digging the separate app for tasks. It feels cleaner, more manageable than a combined task/calendar app. I'm not sure why that is. Perhaps because Wunderlist does one thing, and it does that one thing really well.

Oh, and it's free! Wunderlist also has a free desktop app that syncs seamlessly between the app on my iPhone and iPad. Nice.

I no longer use Wunderlist or Informant. I'm a simple gal with simple needs, and the default Calendar and Reminders apps (iOS) are simple and uncluttered and are doing the trick for me just fine. At least for now....
