Test 1 Interface

Are the apps intuitive?

Three of our apps (OmniFocus, Things and ToDo) adhere closely to the Getting Things Done philosophy. They use the metaphor of an inbox to house everything. You then add tags and contexts to allow you to filter tasks that can be completed in certain places or by, say, a phone call. Clear’s interface is as simple as it gets, while TaskPaper’s simplicity is deceptive because it uses keyboard shortcuts and text to identify tasks, projects and tags – quicker than hunting and pecking but takes some getting used to. Wunderlist, on the other hand, sticks with listing projects and tasks, letting you add notes, for example, in a separate window. It also gives you the option of a picture background, which is a nice feature.

Of the GTD apps, OmniFocus has the edge, while TaskPaper gets a high rating for its speed.
