It can also handle links by putting the text you want visible in square brackets, and the link in round brackets so this: [Slant Homepage](https://www.slant.co] would look like this: Slant Homepage
Pro Very focused, allowing it to be the best at one thing
Instead of trying to be a both a calendar and to-do app, it focuses much more on the to-do aspect. There is a calendar view, however your tasks aren't organized by time - just by order. You can reorder the day's events, and if you don't get them done they will automatically roll over into the next day, so you can be sure that you aren't ever missing anything.
Cons
Con No native integrations with IFTTT or Zapier
The app doesn't feature native integration with these services, but you can use this functionality by fiddling with the custom email address that is provided by TickTick.
Con unable to sync with gtasks, only imports
Con Intelligent date and time entries don't work everywhere
In some apps, you can type "call Ben tomorrow at noon" and the date and time fields will be automatically populated with "tomorrow" and "noon". TickTick has recently implemented this feature, but it doesn't work flawlessly via the webapp or via a widget. The functionality does work good within the Android app, however.
Con Free version is limited
TickTick's free version is limited to 19 task lists, 1 attachment per day, and 1 collaborator.
Con Abo model is too expensive
Con Translation to Portuguese is not professional
For Portuguese speakers, the Portuguese translation seems very amateurish.
Con No search of non-latin languages in web
The web version has no ability to search non-latin languages (e.g. Russian, Greek).
Con Interface is not clear
It has too much information, causing some confusion sometimes.
Con Subscription based will cost money each month
Instead of a single time purchase, Teuxdeux costs $3 each month, or $24 for a full year. There is a free 30 day trial, so at least you can try before put any money forwards, but a one time fee - even if it's $10 - is cheaper in the long run than a few dollars each month.
