Pro Gamifies the process to motivate
The app takes cues from role playing games by having a system that rewards certain behavior with experience points, levels, and gear upgrades. It also allows you to set custom rewards that you come up with yourself such as watching an episode of your favorite TV show.
Pro Clean, simple layout
The apps borrows some design elements from Material Design-type design, which uses a slide-out menu. Everything is laid out in an easy-to-find manner.
Pro Daily review which allows for did-take VS should-take time comparison
A built-in daily and weekly review function that lets you compare the estimated time for tasks against the actual time they took, as well as productivity for the day/week.
Pro Low cost
Subscription value is generally lower than other platforms.
Pro Quick add from notifications
Pro Free apps for Android, iOS, Web.
Cons
Con Occasional bugs and laggyness
The app is still in beta and has the occasional bug to work out.
Con Can cause needless stress
As with most gamified systems it includes punishments for failures. Fear of failure can cause stress and failures can demotivate.
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Con iOS version no longer being updated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".
