To Round vs Checkvist

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.

To Round turns task-completion into a game-like experience, which is good for those who are motivated by this type of positive feedback. It can be a little distracting or annoying for users who want an even simpler process.

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.

Checkvist hits a sweet spot between minimal and complexity. It gives you a host of options and extras to use on your lists, but you can completely ignore them if you don't need them and keep it very simple. This makes Checkvist a one-stop shop, regardless of what type of 'list' you need.

Search filters help you search for tasks by tag, due date, assignee, etc.

To-do lists often need to be grouped and regrouped for clarity. The outline-based nature of Checkvist makes it easy to move things across categories, to increase and decrease priority, etc.

Parses markdown, html links, hashtags to become formatted text, clickable links, and tags, respectively.

Checkvist offers many free features if you are using this individually.

Any item can have a free-text comment, which can be shown or hidden as desired.
