What is Google Tasks?

Boost your efficiency with the Google Tasks mobile application, which offers the ability to create, manage, and alter your tasks from almost any location at any time, all while ensuring smooth synchronization across your devices. By leveraging its integration with Gmail and Google Calendar, task completion becomes significantly more streamlined. The Google Tasks API allows users to search, read, and alter both the content and metadata associated with their tasks. This guide explains how to implement a RESTful methodology alongside client libraries for various programming languages, such as Java, Python, and PHP, to effectively work with Google Tasks data. Developers interested in a more cohesive interaction with Google Tasks can take advantage of the API's capabilities for a more immersive experience. For example, the Google Tasks API can be utilized to manage task lists within a mobile app or to embed tasks into a broader workflow management system like Au-to-do, enhancing your task management efficiency even further. Utilizing these resources enables users to refine their organizational skills and adopt a more productive strategy for handling everyday tasks, ultimately leading to improved overall performance in their daily routines. By embracing these advanced tools, individuals can not only stay organized but also achieve their goals with greater ease.

    Finding it strange that Googs doesn't make this better

    Date: Aug 13 2021
    Summary

    Just because something is incorporated into the Google ecosystem doesn't automatically make it polished and Tasks is an excellent example of this.

    Positive

    It started off with promise. You can create tasks with notes and subpoints for the tasks, and it is incorporated into gmail as well.

    Negative

    The user interface has changed often throughout the years but it was always better to find a 3rd party service to deliver a better user interface. Over time, it found itself lacking features that other task programs do.

    Definitely not the best phone app for google

    Date: Apr 01 2021
    Summary

    I would suggest gtasks instead.→ very quick to voice add to a task list (as in hit the mic button and say "2.0 eggs"), alphabetical sorting is possible (I start my grocery entries with a number for the store section), and quick movement between lists by swiping left/right. I've moved more complex tasks (project/work management) to (paid) Todoist, but still use google for my grocery list (but only because of the useful features of a google-syncing phone app that is NOT this one).

    Positive

    Cloud connection. simple (some to do apps are overly complex, making them cludgy to use in practice).

    Negative

    The 3rd party phone app gtasks is the only reason I still use google tasks at all. Google broke their web version by getting rid of canvas and eliminating nesting. And their web version (and phone version) have limited sorting capability (no alphabetical, despite being repeatedly requested).

    Extremely underwhelming compared to everything out there

    Date: Nov 18 2020
    Summary

    It's not got any obvious issues with it and it does sync with all your other Google products, but it leaves me so completely underwhelmed compared to other to do list apps out there. It's too basic. While it visually looks polished, it feels incomplete. I do like that it automatically recognizes all my accounts already set up on my phone without me having to log in and I can switch between them, but it just doesn't offer enough for this to be a go to app for me.

    Positive

    Since this is a Google app, naturally it can be integrated with other Google apps like Gmail. If you're using a lot of Google products, this can make things a lot easier for you. Creating lists and tasks is very easy. There's 3 themes available; light, dark, and a battery-saving theme, which is something I haven't seen many apps bother to include.

    Negative

    There's not much you can do with this beyond sync it with other Google products. It's really, really simplistic to the point I was just left wondering, that's it? For it being an official Google product, I expected it to be a lot more than what it is.
