Remember The Milk

Ratingstars5 Rated 5 out of 5 stars by AppAppeal Editor
What can you use the application for?
Remember the Milk is an online to-do-list application.
What is the history and popularity of the application?
Remember the Milk was created by an Australian company and launched in October 2005. The service is useful for collaborative projects. To-do lists can be shared with others or made public. Priorities of different tasks can be set by color-coding them and reminders can be sent via email, sms or instant messenger.
What are the differences to other applications?
Remember the Milk has more features and looks nicer than most of its competitors. The many features of the service makes it also a bit more complicated than for example ta-da list.
How does the application look and feel to use?
The look and the feel of the application are very good. The website look extremely organized. Tasks for example can be marked by giving them different color codes. This makes it easy to differentiate between urgent and not so urgent tasks.
How does the registration process work?
To register you need to fill in your real name, username, password, email-address and the order in which dates must be shown: 29/02/08 or 02/29/08
What does it cost to use the application?
Free to use. You can buy a Pro account for $25 a year. For this money you get priority support via email, extra features (like iPhone support) and a "warm fuzzy feeling for supporting Remember the Milk".
Who would you recommend the application to?
If you don't mind keep your to-do notes in yet another application Remember the Milk is a great service to use.

Here's why I think RTM sucks: it's unreliable. After deciding I needed a weekly reminder, I decided to compare RTM and PingMe around 6 months ago. I set up 2 repeating tasks on each, my regular Thursday task and a daily reminder that would indicate to me whether the services were reliable and trustworthy. PingMe has worked flawlessly. RTM stopped sending me the daily reminder after 4 days. Their weekly reminder continued to work, though, until a couple weeks ago when it suddenly stopped. When I tried to get help from RTM, all I got was a BS automated response, no actual help or acknowledgment of a problem. When I had a problem with PingMe's interface, they responded to my query with help, an apology, and thanks for pointing out their instructions had been unclear.

5/5? Oh please! RTM started as a winner but the owners have done nothing substantial to upgrade it in the past couple of years, and become openly hostile to customers who push for enhancements. It lacks many great features found in other online task managers (Toodledo for example) and it can be very unreliable. RTM is probably closer to a 3/5. I gave up on it after 6 months, switched to Toodledo 2 years ago and have never been happier.
