Due — Reminders & Timers App Reviews

I have used Due for quite awhile on my iOS devices. It is nice to have the Mac version too. All kept in sync through Dropbox. One of my all time favorite and most used iOS app is now on my Mac too. Sweet!

This is simply an incredible app to keep track of reminders. The difference between this one and the native that your iphone or mac comes with is well worth the price. I suggest you try it out first on your iphone, as its cheaper, then buy it on your mac for the dropbox/icloud sync if you enjoy it! Highly recommended.

Due is a very well thought out and well-functioning task manager. Ive come to rely on it, and it hasnt let me down. I look forward to seeing the directions in which the developers take it, since every update so far has improved its functionality, performance, and ease of use.

I have used Due for quite some time, and have been very happy with it. It was easy to use and it synced perfectly between my devices. However, this most recent update was a major change. I have given it a while to get used to the changes, after all I wanted to keep an open mind. What used to be nice and easy to use, is now complicated, and cumbersome. For exampe, on my iphone I went to add a new event Where I used to have a time setting scroll that I could use to set to the proper day/time. Now I have to select 12 and then remember to add 2 hours to get it to 2pm. Even that was quite right, but I wasn’t going to waste any more time trying to get the minutes right. It took me three tries to get to that point. It would display the correct time, then would set it to whatever it wanted, when I went to save it. I did mostly get it to work though. Perhaps there is an easier way, but it is certainly no longer readily visable. Unfortunately I can no longer recommend this app, and am currently looking for something to replace it with. The earlier releases are great though. If that helps.

The sync is terrible! Nothing worse than that stupid bell noise over and over after you already dismissed the notification on the iPhone. I wanted something more seamless than this. If the app could look half as good as the iOS version that would be amazing too.

iOS8 x Yosemite間でiCloud driveで同期ができません。。。

Beautiful graphics, easy to use, nice features, sensitive developer.

Would be great to add: - menubar to add reminders straight away – add shortcut to add the reminder (not to show the app)

Very nice and useful app, but it would be much better if developer fixes shortcomings and add some features: - there is an occasional problem with iCloud syncing: sometimes only manual syncing from iPhone app will instantly get changes made in Mac app, otherwise it takes several minutes and several auto-sync operations to get them; * please, implement the menubar–only mode, because Due is the app of the sort that is always running and have an opened window and icon in dock is make use of it more cluttered (look how it is done in Alarms app); * please, add quick entry window (like in some GTD apps — The Hit List, Things etc.).

Please fix the problem with sync. When Due is running on a few gadgets (iPad + iPhone + MacBook) sync starts to fail. Only reboot of all the gadgets can help but it is dumb! Another thing is to add auto-sync for new notes, not only on start/quit of the program.

No alarm groups? I want my money back. :(

I would ove the option for a drop down menu from the top toolbar like Fantastical. PLEASE add this feature it will allow for less window clutter.

Using the application is a piece of a cake. The entire GUI is charming, and creating new reminders is incredibly elegant. Integration with the iPhone app is also seamless. Setting an alarm on my MacBook Air also sets an alarm on my iPhone, so that I can power nap knowing that there is no way I will NOT wake up after 20 minutes. The application, unfortunately, has its downfalls. Its greatest strength is also its weakness: the application, though elegant, is perhaps oversimplified and lacks any form of tagging or organization for the reminders. Having used to-do application Things for a while before testing out Due, I sorely miss the ability to sort reminders into projects. Then again, Things costs $50, so it is a compromise.

Once it does that, it is perfect! Just need the iOS Agenda App next! Should be $2.99 App...

Used to work fine i had no issues at all and i was happy but at some point i started to have troubles with SOUND and the repetition of the alarms. Im using it on my iPhone too, pretty much same problems there too, i want a f**king alarm ringing every day at 21:00, yes shows on my screen BUT DOESNT USE THE SOUND i choosed or repeat itself. Very frustrating… the search for a trustworthy alarm continues… snif

This apps seems like it could be very useful for me, but I would like the ability to make a timer for longer than 99 hours. Or I suppose rather than having a reminder, I would like a countdown of the number of days and hours until a certain date (exaple 20 days + 12:15:19). This would make the app much more useful for me.

Very nice app, this helps me alot staying focused. Backing up with DropBox is also a mjor plus! Love it.

iOS version support Chinese etc,but OS X version only support English and Japanese.

I have been using Due for both Mac and iOS for about week now. About the Mac app, all I can say is "meh." Come back when it has baked a little more in the programming oven. First, sync between iOS and Mac devices simply does not work. Making a reminder on one device often does not mean it is synced between all your other devices. And even worse, this means that a timer will go off on all your devices throughout the day unless you explicitly turn it off. In Dues defense, this is mostly because Apple does not let third-party apps run in the background in iOS. But even syncing between Macs is often buggy: I frequently get the error "Failed to upload database." When I fired up the laptop just this time, I had to close the app once, and just as I was writing this, it displayed that error again. The syncing problems are the main issues with this program. But the UI also feels incomplete. It is at times buggy: if you had tasks due before the app has properly synced, the icon in the menubar remains lit up with these already "done" tasks until you click on it. And it is disappointing that the app just doesnt stay in the menu bar (like Fantastical). The natural language doesnt always work (it mysteriously does not understand statements with simple numbers (like "start spaghetti at 8")). And even when it does recognize the natural language, it doesnt remove it from the title, so you end up with timers that say things like "pay the bill tomorrow" (when, of course, you pay the actual bill tomorrow is today). My suggestion is to skip the Mac app for now, but buy the iPhone app. The disappointing quality of the Mac app doesnt detract from the awesome iOS app. And you have your phone with you at all times anyhow, right?

glad that the app can be menu bar only now. its exactly what i need: simple, natural language todos in a clean, keyboard driven interface.
