Cons
Con Expensive if you buy apps for Mac, iPhone and iPad (all sold separately)
As at May 2016 if buying all three apps it cost $80! That said there is no annual subscription and I've been using Things for years and have only paid once so far.
Con Poor calendar view
Could be more convenient with calendar interaction. Not an ordinary approach for visual people, if you want to see all the calendar events in the familiar format.
Con No file attachment available
Con No supported time based/location based alarms
Other apps have these abilities, and they are very useful. Especially for a $10 app, it would be great to include these premium features.
Con iPad version of Do It (Tomorrow) has a one-time fee
iPad users who want to use the app must pay a one-time fee of $4.99.
Con Limited scheduling options
Because Do It (Tomorrow) limits scheduling options to today and tomorrow, there’s not much use for functions like alerts or recurring events.
