On Remember the Milk and their iPhone App
I’ve been searching for something to help me keep a clear list of To-Dos across multiple platforms for a while now. I’ve bounced around from using Remember the Milk, to trying out Google Tasks, then to simple text files syncing via Dropbox, and then to a big ole’ desktop calendar. I ended up going with the desktop calendar because I found I needed something right in front of my face all the time or I would forget to update my lists.
Recently I found App for the Milk, a nice desktop Adobe AIR app for you guessed it, Remember the Milk. I’ve been playing around with it and it’s frankly the best desktop app for RTM I’ve found yet. Given that Google (stupidly I might add) doesn’t allow you to sync your tasks to your iPhone/iPod Touch via Google Sync, all I needed was Remember the Milk on the iPod and I’d have a perfect system (hopefully). Either way I remembered that the RTM iPhone app was a pro feature, so I paid the $25 for the pro membership on a spur of the moment deal and it’s working out smashingly.
After messing around with the app on the iPod for a bit I decided to go tell those people in the reviews of their iPhone app to shut it about the app not technically being free. Then I realized I was one of those people. See I wrote a review six or so months ago saying what I now wanted to chastise. I guess I need to redact that review.
I’m not sure if Remember the Milk is allowed to give the 15 day free trial that they do, some say they aren’t under the app store terms of service (but I figure if they do it they can), but they should be allowed to anyway. As I’ve said the app completes my to-do list on every platform and seriously makes it worth the pro membership. I’m not saying this because I wrote a review I now redact, I’m saying it because it’s the truth. If you’re using RTM already and have been hesitate to upgrade to the pro membership, go download the app for the iPhone (if you have it that is) and try it out for those 15 days. It’ll complete you1
