Things 2 vs To Round

Users need to create an account for Things Cloud (the account can be created from any device). Once signed up, cloud sync will be active, and you’ll have to login on all of your devices to complete setup. From that point on, syncing happens in the background. It is invisible and always reliable.

At the beginning of every day, a yellow box appears at the top of the Today section, displaying all tasks scheduled for this day. You can investigate them, and then decide which ones you’ll have for that day and which one you’d rather want to delay.

Things 2 works from the moment you start it up. Simply add a task and when you want it done by. You can also add notes to tasks or tag when you need them. Things allows you to quickly and easily start keeping track of your tasks.

Things 2 has a projects feature that allows you to organize your tasks together. You can select a project you need to get done and Things helps you focus on each task to get it done. You can even group projects together to focus on the most important aspect of your life at the time.

Things is one of the best apps of doing Getting Things Done.

It's very easy filtering tasks that belong to various areas (etc private vs work)

The interface is clear and smooth.

The bubble design format is simple to understand visually and is effective in keeping track of ones to-do list.

The app features an Android widget that you can place on your homescreen to view your current tasks even more quickly.

You can enable push notifications that make sure you never forget a single task.

The app uses bubbles to represent tasks. The bigger the bubble, the more important the task is.
