Ok, I’m pretty much blown away by how awesome RTM’s native iPhone App is for a 1.0 release. For one thing, it’s doing everything ToDo was doing for me even with all the dot upgrades – and what’s more, it’s doing it faster! The one major gripe I have with ToDo is that it’s just a little too slow at syncing with my RTM Pro account. But RTM’s app syncs very quickly with my account (well d’uh!) and it also brings the tags feature to my iPhone – something I was missing in my old setup.
This allows me to simplify my task lists. Whereas before I had JAMM and JAiB as separate lists in RTM, I can now keep them in one list and just tag the items as JAMM (just another mobile monday) or JAiB (this site!).
I’m very happy that the app is free, but a little disappointed that it’s only offered to pro subscribers. My sister would have loved to check the app out on her iPod Touch, but she isn’t sure she wants to fork up $25/year for the pro privileges. I think RTM would get quite a few customers if they decided to sell a sync-less version of the program – or at least a basic account of sorts that could be upgraded to pro at a later point (once people get hooked to RTM goodness).
Anybody else have any thoughts on the app? Like it more or less than the other to-do list apps out there?

Love it! Used ToDo (pro) until now syncing with RTM. But the naitive app is much faster.
It does a lot for a 1.0 app! I can’t wait to see what else they come up with!
I’d be a fan if I didn’t have to buy a Pro account to use the app.

Yeah, I’m sending them an e-mail about this. I think they’re really missing out on more customers by limiting it to pro.
The interface of RTM looks really smooth. Though $25 a year is too much for this. You may buy Task2Gather at Appstore for $4.99 only and use it togather with desktop version as long as you wish. Moreover, Task2Gather allows to share your tasks so that you can have the common tasks with your family where each person is responsible for his/her tasks. Most of all I like the feature that the tasks are updated on-line, so when you are in the shop your wife may update your shopping list being at home and using her desktop or iPhone or even Windows Mobile device.
I think I might give this app a try.
