Remember the Milk review Remember the Milk helps you remember what to do at the right time By Stefan Ionescu published 21 July 2022 (Image: © Remember the Milk) TechRadar Verdict Remember the Milk is an effective to-do list and task management app. It's easy to use and performs its job very well. Pros + Easy to use+ Extensive third-party integration+ Reasonably priced+ Works offline Cons - Laggy mobile app- Weak customer support- Slow syncing- No monthly plan Jump to: Plans and pricing Features Interface and in use Support The competition Final verdict Remember the Milk (opens in new tab) was created in 2004 by two Australian entrepreneurs, Emily Boyd and Omar Kilani. These entrepreneurs were not happy with their constant forgetfulness and sought to build an app to help them avert it. As the story goes, milk was one thing they always forgot, giving them the inspiration for their app's name. Though it started in Australia, Remember the Milk is currently headquartered in San Francisco, USA. The company has employees working remotely across the globe. It claims to have over 6 million app users. Many people praise Remember the Milk as an excellent task management solution. We decided to confirm for ourselves if the to-do list app (opens in new tab) lived up to its hype, and it pretty much did.

But, this version has restrictions compared to the app's premium version, which you have to pay for. The free version is ideal if you desire a simple to-do list app without advanced task management features. It's also suitable for testing the app's interface before deciding if you'll upgrade to the premium plan. There's only one premium package on Remember the Milk, the Pro plan, and it costs $39.99 yearly. You can request a refund within 14 days of purchasing it.

You may sign up using your email (opens in new tab) or your existing Google or Facebook account. Once you successfully sign up, the app takes you immediately to your task management dashboard. The first feature to notice there is adding a task. There's a visible text bar where you can type in and add any task. There are some buttons underneath this text bar for adding specific properties to the task. The first button lets you add a due date to a task. After adding this due date, you can set a reminder, so that the app will alert you as to when due. The second button is to add a start date to the task. The third is to add a priority level (1-3) to the task to determine how much the app emphasizes it. The fourth button is to add a list or tag to a task to help you sort them out later. For example, you group tasks under "leisure," "personal," and "work" tags. You can also add a location to any task. After adding a task, you can still create a set of subtasks attached to it. Likewise, you can add comments to contextualize or clarify a task, a valuable feature during collaboration. A noteworthy Remember the Milk feature is that the platform lets you collaborate with other users. You can invite other users to work together on specific tasks, making the app ideal to use within a workplace. For example, a manager within an office can create and assign specific tasks to their subordinates on the app. These subordinates can simply indicate on the app once they complete any task.

Remember the Milk Final verdict Having a task management platform like Remember the Milk can go a long way in improving your productivity. The app has the ideal features to help you organize and manage your schedule. It's easy to use and priced reasonably considering the features it provides. The primary drawback we observed is its customer support, which we think needs much improvement. We've featured the best calendar apps. Stefan Ionescu Stefan has always been a lover of tech.
