TIckTick is a very feature-rich to-do app.

Habits, To-dos, Stopwatch, Pomodoro, Kanban, Eisenhower Matrix, and more…

The most prominent feature of TickTick is undoubtedly its diverse productivity models. Typically, to-do list apps are developed by their creators based on what they consider the most ideal productivity models. In contrast, TickTick, to begin with, offers a wealth of basic features compared to other apps. In practice, it can satisfy almost all productivity models that suit individual preferences. Moreover, it’s not just about having a lot; TickTick also tends to add new features relatively quickly compared to other apps.

It seems that apps like Todoist and others might take a more cautious (or, to put it negatively, slower) approach to adding features, perhaps due to having their own vision. In contrast, TickTick is relatively quick when it comes to adding new features. Moreover, the basic features are periodically enhanced. In fact, I briefly used this app in the past, and back then, I found it quite frustrating and slow when using the Kanban feature. However, it has improved significantly since then.

Furthermore, in the paid version (Premium), you have access to more features. For starters, you can use the monthly calendar feature, which is quite a valuable addition considering that many productivity apps lack calendar functionality. It seems to be a well-thought-out feature to address this gap. Additionally, in the free version, there is a limit on the number of tasks you can add, but in the Premium version, this limit is naturally increased. You can also set filters when creating tasks and view their progress status, among other features.

다만 이렇게 기능이 많은 것도 단점이 되기도 합니다. 예전에 Amazing Marvin 사용했을 때도 느꼈었는데요, 기능이 너무 많으면 대체 어떤 기능들을 써야 하나 어지러워지는 부분이 있습니다. 자유도가 높은 것은 좋지만 일종의 최적화가 되지 않게 되는 것입니다. 물론 본인이 좋아하는 기능만 사용하면 되긴 하겠습니다만 그래도 기능이 많으면 뭔가 다 써야 돈 값 하는 것같기도 하고… 뷔페에서 맛있는 음식 한 종류만 먹는 것같은 느낌?

It’s a shame that TickTick doesn’t have a lifetime subscription, but it is slightly cheaper than its competitors.

Is this a good value for money?

TickTick is usable to some extent even with the free version. However, the description is appropriate(?), the features I really need are paid… This app does not have a lifetime pass, only monthly and annual payments are available. I guess it’s because it’s a popular app. Still, the price is in the $30 range for an annual subscription on Android. It’s not that so expensive. And since competitors todoist costs $48 per year and any.do costs about $50 per year, you can see that the pricing is much better than those apps. Let’s just say it’s a little cheaper than the competition.

TickTick supports multiple platforms. It’s a basic skill set for apps these days.

This app supports various platforms, which is considered a fundamental requirement for well-known productivity apps. It is available on Android, desktop (web version), and iOS, and synchronization is reasonably fast. While these are considered fundamental requirements, surprisingly, some apps don’t always meet them. For instance, they might lack an iPad version, have slow synchronization, or fail to work properly. Many well-known apps are limited to Apple devices only, which is quite common.

Personally, I wish the app’s many features were more integrated…

Still, I can’t help but wonder where else it’s available.

As befitting a popular to-do app, it was overall a very satisfying app. In the past, even when I used the paid version of Todoist, I used to think, “In reality, it’s just a lot of features, and individually, they’re not all that special…” However, when I tried using it again this time, I realized that it has improved significantly. Especially the Kanban board feature that I personally like… It’s a bit disappointing that many features are restricted in the free version, but I understand that developers also need to make a living.

TickTick Summary

Good point

1. It’s one of the most feature-rich to-do apps out there
2. Slightly less expensive than competing apps
3. Basic features are also regularly evolved

Disappointing point

1. The price is relatively low, but the lack of a lifetime subscription is a shame.
2. Features are somewhat limited in the free version.
