Verdict
A list app rather than a task manager, and much better for it if lists are what you actually make — packing, shopping, the same checklist every month.
Best for
Someone who reuses the same checklists and does not want due dates on them.
Dealbreaker
It is lists, not tasks, so there is no real scheduling here. Four of the last two hundred reviews also report it crashing.
The facts.
Pulled from the App Store, not written by hand.

Where we recommend it
Task managers you buy once ›To-do and reminder apps with no subscription.
Alternatives with the same rule.
Every app here is a single purchase. None of them can start charging you monthly for what you already bought. Also with a catch.

Verdict. The one that makes planning a week feel light. Everything is where you would guess it is, and nothing asks you to learn a methodology first.
Best for. Someone who wants a list they will actually keep using after the second week.
Dealbreaker. Seven of the last two hundred reviews say a reminder did not fire when it should have. Unusual for something this polished, and it is the one job a to-do list cannot get wrong.

Verdict. It nags. A reminder comes back every few minutes until you actually deal with it, which is the entire product and the reason people keep it.
Best for. Anyone who swipes reminders away and then forgets the thing entirely.
Dealbreaker. The nagging is the point and it does not suit everyone — thirteen of the last two hundred reviews are about notifications being too much or arriving wrong.

Verdict. The one worth buying only for what it connects to: it is a proper iPhone front end for Google Tasks, which Google itself has never really built.
Best for. Someone whose tasks already live in Google Tasks and have to stay there.
Dealbreaker. Syncing is almost evenly split in the reviews — thirty-two say it works, twenty-seven say it does not — and five more say support did not reply when it broke.
