iPad launch first look: Things for iPad

I created a video review for Things. It should help you decide for yourself whether the app covers the features you need and if the experience of the nice interface justifies the price for you. Basically, I tried to get as close as possible to giving you the experience of actually using the app since there unfortunately is no trial or lite version. 

Hope it helps.

Well, besides the things for iPad, i've just stumbled into a list about the best free ipad app at launch from

http://www.ipadintouch.com/the-best-free-ipad-apps-awesome-new-10-apps-at-launch/

I agree that Things is overpriced. It's a good piece of software, but the fact that you can't sync your PC(s) and iPhone seamlessly over the cloud is a big let down. They keep promising this, yet fail to deliver.

Their pricing is messed up too. Buying the desktop client should automatically include the iPhone/iPad versions at no additional cost.

These guys totally got bought out by the company. How much are thru paying you boys ?

Nice

With deep regret I must add my voice to the unsatisfied majority. Things had such great potential it's a shame to see it abandoned.

A to-do app that costs $10 and cannot somehow figure out Push after 2 years is obviously not being actively developed.

We can now see what they've been working on. Their iPad app. They gave up on OTA syncing and Push and made a money run. Understandable really. Their user base is undergoing a huge churn rate so those users must be replaced to keep the company from joining Now Software I bankruptcy court.

I've got the Mac and iPhone apps but I'll be avoiding the iPad version. I've had enough and the iPhone app is no longer even synced to my device.

I hate to call Developers out publically - but there it is.

It is odd that TUAW editors seems to really like CulturedCode in spite of the mess CC has made on OTA sync. It would be interesting to hear from TUAW editors on this particular issue. Why does CC get a pass on this, while the somewhat controversial freemium ngmoco model has been discussed very openly and fairly, I might add. Why the silence here on CC?

I think CC is an interesting story because they were obviously trying a different more open approach, and then for unknown reasons, it went a bit sideways. But they still try to get the benefit of being a little different. Let's face it, $20 is not much money and I don't overly regret buying their apps. But they are not, imho, nice guys

Anyone thinking about paying $20 to these inept crooks should, first, take the time to look around the web and see how many people bitterly regret buying their apps. You won't find this info on Cultured Code's own site because they ruthlessly delete any comments on their blog that aren't fawning praise and, famously, they deleted their entire forum because so many customers were having problems and they didn't want new prospective suckers/customers to see that.

Their screenshots always looks good but, trust me, this lousy time-saving app will waste more time that you would think possible.

There will be truly great GTD apps on the iPad - for instance, an iPad version of the far superior Omnifocus is on the way - but this dishonest idiots simply don't have the skills to make an app that, you know, works. They know that, they know how many unhappy customers they really have, but they will keep on charging money because they can and because the Apple blogs have no incentive to look out for ordinary users.

@Steven Sande,

Culture Code is not really a good model or app company. I don't understand why do you want to promote for them?

They have promised the features for iPhone version 1.5 years ago, and still not delivery the feature. It was a $9.99 app on the iPhone. The same price u get HD version of Pages, keynote.

They don't bother to delivery the cloud sync (over-the-air sync) which means you will need to sync over wi-fi manually every few hours.

Now they are trying to rob people again for $19.99???

By the way, did I mention they shut down the support forum before because customers were angry about they are being lazy and don't update and fix the app for over a year?

and recently, their crew member threatened the users on the forum they he suggest to shut down the forum again since users were not happy. (What a good way to interact with your users?)


@ian fairchild,

"Epic fail from the GTD company that just can't get it done." This is so funny, and i have to write this down. Culture code is really a epic fail.
