BusyToDo app for iPhone and iPad

BusyToDo is a simple yet powerful To Do app for iOS. It is compatible with the Reminders app and syncs with iCloud, Exchange and other CalDAV servers. It works particularly well for syncing tasks with BusyCal on Mac OS X.
Unlike the Reminders app which provides no means of sorting or filtering your tasks, BusyToDo lets you sort and filter tasks by due date, priority, or calendar. Whats more, alarms in BusyToDo are optional, so you can schedule tasks for a specific due date without having to set an alarm.
If you manage tasks in BusyCal, BusyToDo is the ideal mobile companion.
• Sort and Filter tasks by Date, Priority, Calendar or Title.
• Tasks may include a Due Date, Priority, Location, URL, Notes, and Alarms.
• Tasks can be assigned a Due Date with or without an Alarm.
• Tasks can be repeated.
• Tasks can be assigned location alarms.
• Tasks can be created with Siri.
• Sync tasks with BusyCal on Mac OS X through iCloud, Exchange or a CalDAV Server.
• Universal app designed to run on iPad and iPhone.
Latest reviews of BusyToDo app for iPhone and iPad
Been using this app for 6 months - first with .me and works flawlessly after recent upgrade to iCloud! No problems - not sure what other poster who said it doesnt show badge with number of due tasks was referring to - works fine as long as you turn on notifications. I keep tasks sorted among multiple iCal calendars and much prefer this layout and color coding to Reminders.
iOS is a great operating system, but the reminders app leaves a lot to be desired. BusyToDo is a wonderful app that allows you to keep track of your tasks in a simple fashion. Works great with BusyCal and iCloud. I was initially a bit hesitant to purchase this because of the price but it is most definitely worth it!
This is a well designed productivity act. Each day I have important steps to take in several areas and this app has been just what I need to keep things moving across the board. Well worth the money!
BusyDo does sync todos from MobileMe, unlike Apples default Calendar, but otherwise has extremely limited functionality. Unless I missed something, the only features it adds are repeating to dos and tags. Unfortunately, because I already happily use BusyCal, which has a multitude of features not offered in iCal, I trusted that BusyDo would be as useful and worth its high price. It is not. Ive tried many to do apps looking for the right one for me—toodledo, 2do, instado, etc. Based on quality, this may be the worst one Ive tried. It is definitely the worst value. Buy something else.
Colorful is nice!
