Google suite, always new great products and tools
Google Tasks is the kind of tool that everyone has always needed but didn't know. When we start using it, it became essential. It increases team productivity when we can better find and integrate our calendars, meetings, emails. If I associate a task with an email, or a meeting, at the time of my meeting I can quickly find the subject, the links, and the necessary files.
- Integration with other Google tools.
- Google Tasks allows you to create lists associated with calendars.
- Google Tasks allows you to create subtasks
- To have sticky notes.
- There is no online synchronization between web and app version.
- The search features are bad.
Plan a Day easily with Google Tasks

- The layout need to be more efficient
- Task hiding feature need to be add
Easy Task Management

- Missing a full tab view where you can see all your different lists of tasks.
Reliable and efective tool for managing tasks.
- Effortless G-Suite integration.
- Easy to use with no much training required.
- It is powerful and boosts productivity.
- It is not as customizable as other programs.
- Poor client support services.
- Seamless GSuite integration
- Simple, easy to use, not too complicated or too much going on
- Ability to directly utilize within apps where tasks are most likely to be created (email, calendar, etc.)
- Limited in scope and customization
- Not really a great stand-alone app for use with ioS so lack of integration with iphone makes it clunky and not very often used when not as desktop

Google Tasks rocks!

Google Tasks is *fine* for Google Workspace users, but there are better options out there
- Tight integration with Gmail.
- First-party integration with Google Calendar.
- Simple and straightforward interface.
- Lack of power user features and customizations for GTD fanatics.
- Lack of well-designed native iPhone/Mac apps.
- Works best only if you use Gmail and Google Calendar in a browser.
- Time management: Being automatically reminded of recurring tasks means we are less likely to forget.
- Ensuring project dependencies are noted and addressed.
- Task nesting: We can build a task tree easily and view it from within most of Google's apps.
- Reminders: Right now one must manually check their tasks pane to see what needs to be done. When things get busy we may forget to check this.
- Linking to docs inside Drive would be much appreciated as we often have to perform updates inside project-related files.
- Task sharing is nonexistent. It would be good if we can collaborate with others on larger tasks and see what still needs to be done in the context of larger projects.
Simple but very effective
- It is very comfortable to use.
- Its integration with Google products.
- Very easy to use.
- Customize the layout.
- Improve search options.
- Improved ability to move tasks from one list to another.
The tasks are usually a drill-down from the organizational project management software, but they are not automated and users fill them out themselves. The filling out part is where the software shines, as there are many ways to easily create a Google Task from almost any software you use, whether it's from an email, project management app, or even a voice assistant.
- No nonsense task management and control
- Task creation from a wide variety of apps
- Mobile access
- Statistics and reporting
- Shared tasks
If you are looking for a complex task management system, with basic needs around co-working, control, reporting, and other complex usages of task-based activities, a to-do list is definitely lacking. My recommendation would be more towards project management than a simple to-do list like Google Tasks.
Google Tasks is great for teamwork!
- Alert users to a new task
- Makes it very easy to assign if someone else has a Gmail account
- Free!
- Can be hard to find your tasks in a shared doc if many others have been also assigned tasks
My Honest Review on Google Tasks
Here are the advantages of Google Tasks compared to other to-do apps-
1. It's a no nonsense, simple app. Its best part is its simplicity itself. Anyone new to to-do list can easily start using this app to get more productive.
2. It is synced with Gmail and Google Drive.
3. I can pick up tasks directly from Gmail within emails.
4. There is almost minimal friction to enter tasks in Google Tasks. It works well with leading productivity systems like GTD and so on.
5. Tasks automatically gets placed in the Google Calendar, which is great.
6. The app can also send notification for time-sensitive tasks, which work flawlessly.
7. The tasks can be beautifully divided into sub-categories.
8. It's a part of the G-Suite, another great part.
9. The best part, it's completely free. Most of the apps in this category are either fully paid, or provide a free trial for a short period of time or are free with limited features, supported by ads. But, this is not the case with Google Tasks. It's FREE, it does not host any kind of ads, nor any hidden payment system.
- The best part, Google Tasks is FREE. No paywall, no ads. Just pure productivity. I was looking for some task-management app which is free, since it was difficult to get a paid one. I found that this was the perfect solution for me.
- It's deeply integrated with other Google services like Gmail and Calendar. It can pick tasks with Gmail from emails, in the form of suggestions. It's up to you, completely. The tasks will appear in your calendar automatically, if it's time or date specific.
- It's simple and hassle free to insert tasks and complete them. The app loads fast and hardly faces any crash. I encountered no such crashes.
- It is present in multiple platforms. I would create a task in my phone, and would check it off on my laptop.
- It's hassle free to add and check off tasks. It was very helpful for me in college.
- Google Tasks lack support. If you encounter any problem, you just have the option to provide feedback. Since the team may receive a lot of feedbacks, they simply don't answer.
- Although it contains the essentials of a task-management app, there are still lots of features that can be implemented. Like, ability to specify time taken, setting priority in a more detailed way, and lots more.
- The app is very slow to develop. The updates are pretty slow, and some even make the app unstable, rendering it useless until the next update. It happened to me but chances are very slim.
- They don't have a dedicated app for Windows. I really missed that, and they still don't have one.
1. An app that does its job pretty well.
2. An app that does not affect your device's performance.
3. An app that is very easy to use.
4. An app that is not behind and pay wall and not filled with nasty ads.
5. An app that makes you more productive without getting distracted with features.

1. An app that has [too many] features that it would take [too] much time to learn fully and adapt to its learning curve.
2. An app that is behind a paywall.
3. An app that has some fancy features which you may not even require.
4. An app where [it is a] hassle to enter a task and mark is completed. In many apps, there is so much hassle that most people leave midway.
5. The most obvious reason, if you don't want to be more productive.
