• Next Thing has an average rating of 4.5 stars because it really does boost productivity!

• WHAT'S YOUR NEXT THING? Next Thing is new kind of task manager. It is designed to sit on your desk beside your computer, keeping you focused on the next thing you need to do. And with simple gestures to browse and complete tasks, Next Thing doesn't take attention away from the real work at hand.

• ADD THINGS IN A FLASH
Don't worry about setting up categories, projects or contexts. Even dates are optional—enter only as much information about a task as you want to and edit it at any time.

• PUT THINGS OFF
Don't know when you'll need to complete a task, but want to be sure you capture it? Leave any task unscheduled and it will stay in your Inbox until you're ready to work on it.

• STAY FOCUSED
Rotate your iPad to portrait view to clear away distractions and spotlight your current task. When you're done, swipe down to complete that task and across to move to the next one. Simple and speedy.

• TOUCH YOUR TO-DOs
Swipe (or tap) to complete, drag to reorder, flick through your task list—let your fingers do the task management.

• TICKLE YOURSELF
Need a tickler file to keep track of what's due today, tomorrow, next week, or next month without seeing everything at once? Our folders show the number of tasks scheduled at a glance, with more detail the closer a date gets.

Simply the best.


Just How it Says
Melunasasha

This is a great app to keep up to your tasks. It is really useful but you guys could add notifications, or it's just my iDecvice that is not working with notifications. It is still an awesome, useful app.


Simple and easy to use

Simple and to the point.


Loving This App
ndndoc4u

This app is perfect for prioritizing and reminding me of what I want to get done today.


So close to perfect
Aaarrrgh!

Can't wait for the iCloud calendar integration. I hope it allows me to import tasks, while viewing the iCalendar, so I can think ahead about scheduling and just move reminders over! This is exactly what I wish the native reminders app was like! And I read something about it lacking notifications? That would be a nice feature if its not there already. Bring on that update! Nice work keeping it simple so far!


Pretty good, but...

I really like this app's tickler file concept. It's just what I needed. However, I would appreciate the ability to drag tasks between files manually, rather than moving them by assigning a due date. If this feature is ever added, I will change my rating to 5 stars. Excellent app, otherwise. I recommend it, even with its current major shortcoming.


Sync between devices please

Love the app for what it does as much for what it does not try to do. Great organizer. I have an "empty" copy of the app running on my iPhone waiting for sync capability. Most of my time is spent on the iPad and I have decided not to enter the same data twice to keep the phone current. Please hurry and update app with iCloud sync.


Good
