OmniFocus 2 App Reviews

Outstanding on iOS and Watch. Incredibly powerful organisational tool. You get what you pay for (including superb customer support). Another solid update. Would appreciate Fantastical 2-style todo URL input using natural language in future updates (I hate the scroll wheel thing for dates and times!)

This is really great app. Its worth the price.

If you have ever listened to CGP Grey from the Cortex podcast you already know how awesome OF can be. If you didnt, go ahead and search on the web how people are pleased with this software - and Im one of them as well ;)

Wait some minutes, still sync in progress, has no access to my data. Please, fix.

Thank you for great job! This is very useful app! Please, give back opportunity to forecast 7 days, as it was in omni focus 1 for ipad. Now we have only five.(

Thank you for quick way solving problems, I had to stop my projects yesterday due to expiration problem, but I did not panic, I knew that you guys did all your best to resolve it. And for that, I thank you!

Really must have app that is very useful for people who do a lot of tasks

Once again another masterpiece from Omnigroup... The new HMI is awesome, usability is great and the policy to upgrade for free to the former version users is another example of how to get customers even more loyal in the long term. Thank you Ken and all the Team at Omnigroup !

I have tried and discarded every major task and to-do app, always searching for some combination of features I thought I had to have but never found. I had tried the demo version of Omnifocus for Mac, but didn’t get it. It seemed too complicated. At my wits’ end and never having given Omnifocus a fair try, I watched some YouTube tutorial videos and saw some really interesting features. Then, coming into a bit of money, I took the plunge and bought the Mac and iOS apps. I was underwhelmed at first because of the limited sorting and customization features. The standard version is still a great to-do app, but it’s like a race horse stuck at a carnival giving rides to toddlers. I went ahead and upgraded to Pro and now I am as close to productivity nirvana as I have ever been. Being able to create your own perspectives and having a ton more sorting options allows you to bend Omnifocus to your will and is worth all that extra money. It still doesn’t meet my ideal (unrealistic) combination of features, but it gave me so many more I wasn’t aware of and now love. So, I would advise buying it but only if you also upgrade to Pro.

I could not recommend this product more. There will however be a steep learning curve. I have been using Omnifocus religiously for the past year and am still discovering new and better ways to use it.

Immediately crashes when opened

Outstanding customer service. I trust this app with helping me run my professional and personal life.

Boosted my average by 4 percentage points.

Lots of features that help you to sort and categorize your tasks. Theres some methodology to learn, but once you learn it, it helps you to be productive and keep track of your tasks. Too expensive you may think? It takes lots of time and skills to craft an excellent app, and its money well spent. Its an app that I use everyday which makes it all the more worth it.

The new 3D Touch features are nice. I only wish they could think of more ways for it to be useful. Still, this is a great update and an excellent app overall.

Omnifocus 2 is visually appealing, but lacks options/functions. It is project focused, and I like the calendar view in Forecast. However, I wish I could sort by due date within projects-seems like a disorganized mess unless using Forecast which makes date sensitive future planning a chore (or unless you spend more money and create your own view). Needs additional custom repeat options such as every x months on the first/last/2nd -day of the month. For the cost, it seems they could at least provide custom repeats that are offered with the native reminders app, which they tell me would take to many resources to create easily. If Im spending top dollar on an app, I would expect options and functionality would be there. The badge count wont update in the background like other apps (2Do for example). Even though Im trying to make this app work, I keep coming back to the 2Do app, as their app offers a full range of options at less than a third of the cost of Omnifocus.

Still my favorite after being unfaithful and trying some of the competition ;) I love this app. It works so well and has frequent updates. I wish I could assign multiple contexts but I know thats a larger GTD debate.

I love Omnifocus, but I dont understand why on the iPad app, you cant add an action from within a project? Works great on the iPhone app, but theres no + to add action within a project on the iPad.

This app, Ive been using for years. Like fine whiskey gets better with time. Very reliable, stable and work seamlessly with Siri reminders. Most amazing

Before I knew about Omnifocus 2, I had been using 2do for a while. There are a lot of things to like about the app. It has a good UI design, and there are so many costumizations you can do. After a while, I stopped using it because it didnt help me "de-clutter" A LOT of things that I needed to do. There are a lot of GTD apps out there that are pretty good. Ive tried 2do, Wunderlist, Things, and Todoist. I think Omnifocus 2 is the best for GTD. It may not be the simplest app to operate, but once you get through the learning curve, the app is very powerful. If youre looking for something simple, this app may not be for you. But if youre someone who needs help managing chores, errands, work, projects, short term goals, long term goals, etc., give this app a chance. I hope youre as satisfied as I am!
