Cons
Con Support non existing
Con iOS version no longer being updated
iPad upgrades stopped at iOS version 11, so if you want to keep Doit.im it is not possible to upgrade to iOS12. As there is no export facility, you are stuck.
Con Rarely updated
Con Offline sometimes
Con Nonexport and support desk say they will never include it (your data is theirs now)
Con Subscription based
While not expensive, it does cost money to get it for Mac or Windows (although you can view it in the browser for free). The subscription also adds automatic cloud sync, sync with Google calendar, adding tasks via email, manual sort, attaching Evernote into tasks, and more.
The subscription costs $2/month, or $20/year which is very reasonable
Con Sometimes it doesn't see your active subscription
Con Rip off
Con Not very customizable
There is no way for you to create your own "perspective".
Con Must use DropBox service
Con As far as I know this app is Android only
I believe Simpletasks is an Android only app.
