There are so many to-do apps out there that it really becomes difficult to decide which one is right for you. I have used many to-do applications on my iPhone and Today Todo is definitely one of the better ones I’ve seen. This one is more basic and is great for someone who doesn’t need or want all of the features and bloat that other complicated to-do apps have in them.

There are only four main screens you need to deal with. You have your composition screen to type your notes, and then three screens to view your tasks: yesterday, today and tomorrow. To compose a new task, all you have to do is tilt your device ninety degrees to landscape mode. This will bring up the keyboard to start typing your tasks. Here, you can also choose a due date and priority level. While the date selection looks nice, it only allows up to thirty days later. This isn’t a huge limitation, but a limitation nonetheless. Tapping on one of three different colors chooses the priority level. When assigned, the entire task will be show in that color. So, if you have multiple priority levels, your main pages will become very colorful.

When in portrait mode, you can view your tasks for yesterday, today and tomorrow, each one on a separate screen. You can access each screen by tapping on the sun or moon and swiping left or right. You may tap on any task to mark it as completed and it will move to the bottom of the list. Double tapping on any task will allow you to edit it.

One unique feature of this application is that each new day will show an empty to-do list. So, if you had 5 tasks, regardless of completion, they will automatically move to the “yesterday” screen and the “today” screen will be blank. I guess the idea here is to begin each day with a clean slate. This feature can be turned off in the settings menu so that all tasks stay on the today page.

Today Todo is absolutely a solid task manager with an intuitive UI and some unique features. Even though it’s not a full-featured application, lacking user customization and sync ability, it may be just right for the user who wants a simpler to-do app to help them stay organized.
