A task management tool that works
The most crucial part of maintaining daily checklists and prioritizing tasks is Google Tasks, which is widely used by most teams within the organization. Managing capacity and ensuring that everyone has sufficient work for the day without overloading members of the team is crucial for team management. Thanks to its automatic synchronization with our email, we can save tasks automatically and be sure that nothing gets missed.
- Auto sync with Gmail.
- Easy accessibility on multiple devices.
- Free to use: Come as a part of GSuite.
- Syncing items/tasks from another email client is not possible.
Before having some more complex and complete project and activity management tools, we used Google Tasks to create activity control lists because we used Google's G Suite and from this integration, it was easy to access and manage. The software has been used throughout our headquarters and was a perfect way for us at IT to checklist after completing the tasks as a way to check and evaluate as a productivity tool. It is a relatively simple software but it collaborates in analyzing and optimizing the progress of daily, weekly and monthly activities and is trusted by the Google brand.
- Google Tasks has Gmail and calendar integration.
- Possibility to create to-do lists that can be shared with other colleagues.
- Visual highlight for overdue tasks.
- Easy to create to-do lists.
- Possibility to create reminders and notifications.
- There is more customization options in the software.
- Very simple interface.

A must have tool for scheduling tasks
My team uses Google Tasks to schedule their tasks and plan them as per the priority. We can add sub-tasks as well and add any notes which are required for that task. It just syncs up with your calendar and the best is you can add your friend's calendar too. It is helping our team to schedule the tasks and have a deadline on them. Also, a good thing it all comes up in the Google suite package.
- Easy to use
- Create Tasks
- Free version has alot of functionalities
- Auto Sync with Email
- Task Hiding feature should be added
- UI can be more interactive
- Difficult to sync with Outlook, Thunderbird etc

Google Tasks | Perfect Task Management tool
We as a digital team are using Google Tasks a lot to maintain our daily tasks and to prioritize and track them properly. The best thing about this is its tight integration with Gmail. It helps us to put it on our to-do list so the team would not miss something really important. It also [allows] the team to track our campaigns and prioritize them based on their go-live dates. Also it is a part of Google Suite (G-Suite) so it has an immediate syncing with other Google tools like Google Drive.
- Easy to use
- Free of cost
- Available on all platforms/App
- Integration with mailbox
- No integration with other apps

Take a chance with Google Task.
Google Task has solved the challenge we had of keeping track of tasks. It has enabled us to be on top of everything that is required to be done. We are able to design a to-do list of our daily, weekly, and monthly tasks. It is even more fun than we can add detailed notes under each task and set up reminders so that we don't find ourselves missing deadlines.
- Google Tasks is easily accessible via Gmail.
- We can organize tasks efficiently using sub-tasks and Task list options.
- It is effective task management for managing tasks in one place.
- I love that i don't have to switch windows to use Google Calendar as Google Tasks integrates with it seamless providing a good user experience.
- We faced poor customer support. No response was provided when we contacted them.

Easy and Free
We used Google Tasks to keep track of all upcoming to dos and any other random ideas across people. We wanted to cut down on emails and it fulfilled its job, however we were not very fond of the set up for our purposes. We did switch platforms since then, but still use a lot of the other google tools.
- Great integrated with other google products.
- Easily accessible.
- Works great in a team.
- Different layout options.
- More features in the tasks directly without switching platforms.

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
Google Tasks is very convenient to make life easy with the sets of reminders to make your day-to-day work efficient. It is easy to create the task and shall we add in the Gmail, Calendar, Google drive etc. It comes under the package of Google suites as well.
- Create a task in Gmail
- Save your email as a task in Google sheets
- Organized the task in list as well
- The layout need to be more efficient
- Task hiding feature need to be add
We, as an organization, use it as a quick to-do list for reference. Since it's by Google, and we use G-suite, it has made it really easy to keep it updated across people in our organization.
The main function, as the name suggests, is pinning up tasks that need to be completed. It allows you just that. In addition, you can assign it to the person who is supposed to pick it up (within a stipulated period of time mentioned).
The main function, as the name suggests, is pinning up tasks that need to be completed. It allows you just that. In addition, you can assign it to the person who is supposed to pick it up (within a stipulated period of time mentioned).
- Google Tasks (paid version) has the functionality to put labels on which can be easily sorted and used.
- The paid version can enable you to share the tasks with your peers, and maintain it at an organizational level.
- Google tasks is really quick, real-time and very easy to pick-up.
- Pricing: It is over-priced, in fact paying for multiple members turns out to be very expensive. There are other Saas providers that offer much reasonable options.
- Added functionalities like linking between other services like Gmail, etc. As it is owned by google, it'd be wonderful to pin it up as an add-on in other service modules.
- Layout: The UI is pretty basic, and uninteresting. One has to look for options to work upon. It can be made more User Interactive and engaging.
- Different functionalities on mobile app, and desktop: The app syncs perfectly well between the two devices, but they offer different functions which doesn't make sense.

Easy Task Management
Google Tasks helps me manage, capture, and edit my tasks [which] sync across my laptop and phone, which is very useful in meetings. It helps me stay on track with due dates and notifications and since it is integrated with the rest of the G-Suite, its easy to access from Gmail as well.
- Create Tasks straight from Gmail
- Integrated well with G-Suite
- Quickly capture tasks anywhere
- It may take some time & adjustments to build a workflow that covers your specific needs.
- Need a feature to hide tasks that are weeks or even months ahead into the future.
- Missing a full tab view where you can see all your different lists of tasks.

Reliable and efective tool for managing tasks.
For increased productivity it is important to have a to-do list. In our organization, we have embraced using Google Tasks to follow up on all our work activities on a daily basis. It is so simple to use and is accessible over multiple devices. With Google Tasks, I can add multiple lists, store email links, create sub-tasks, create habits, and set up reminders. It is a great tool to use.
- 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.
Google Tasks is utilized by all of our employees through our Google Suite of services. it is seamlessly integrated with many Google products, such as: Gmail, Google Calendar, etc. Although employees and I rarely use it as a stand-alone app, the ability to easily create and manage tasks and to-do lists directly within the Google ecosystem makes it widely used even if not widely counted on as the best or complete option.
- 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
- Support and helpdesk very limited like many of Google products

Google Tasks is *fine* for Google Workspace users, but there are better options out there
My company uses Google Workspace (formerly G Suite), and Google Tasks is built into my Google Account. Initially, it seemed like the perfect, "first-party" platform for task management with tight integrations to Gmail and Google Calendar.
- 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.
On the daily Tasks is used to stay organized on daily to-dos that pertain to all kinds of workloads. We lean on the service to plan our day and prioritize the work that needs to get done. By using Tasks we are able to structure our day-to-day and ensure we're being productive with our time and energy. Without Tasks, we'd be more prone to wasting valuable time.
- 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
We use Google Tasks to keep to-dos organized and always know that we are leaving nothing behind. From the moment an email arrives with a requirement that we must solve, we create a task that helps us to be clear about the pending work. The ease of its integration with Google products is essential when using it since we are a fan of all the products that Google has.
- 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.
We encourage using Google Tasks for the small, bite-sized, daily tasks of employees. Since it is a to-do list essentially, there's nothing fancy in terms of usages. Employees write down what they need to do and strike out what they have accomplished.
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.

- Task creation from a wide variety of apps
- Mobile access
- Statistics and reporting
- Shared tasks

Google Tasks is great for teamwork!
Google Tasks is used by collaborators on research projects to assign work to each member. For instance, we recently worked on a paper where the lead author would assign each person tasks day-to-day as we worked on the revise and resubmit version. This "task" would tag us and send us an email alert to let us know, which was very helpful as I worked on other things until a new task came in. I also really appreciated the integration across other Google products like Docs and Sheets.
- 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
I am a regular user of Google Tasks. Most of the students also use this to-do app. Nowadays, everyone is obsessed with productivity. Same for me and other students. One day I stumbled across Google Tasks, and it literally changed my life.
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.

10. Not so important, but still worth a point, there is support of dark mode.
- 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.
