Good Organization Features but Commenting needs work – Todoist: To-Do List & Planner Review

Was using Wunderlist which is great but really liked how you could swipe to change the due date in Todoist. Especially being able to tap tomorrow, next week. Unfortunately, basic features like reminders and comments are Premium so there was no choice but to pay the $30. Turns out everything besides postponing the date is clunky and requires lots of back and forth and tapping. Posting due dates is a swipe and a tap away but you need to tap another tiny icon to set a reminder and then type in the time you want. I just kind of stopped using reminders. Parent projects and tasks are great and you can even go multiple levels deep for subtasks of subtasks but sometimes I just want write "call" or "confirm meeting" and having it as a child task with its own comments and tags and flags is overkill so I end up just making it a comment in the original task and then never see it. Tags and flags add to organization but require too many taps and end up in the text of the reminder while editing which gets messy. The worst though is comments, especially on the desktop apps. Too many taps and when you save the comments and go back to the list, you're back at the top of the list and need to scroll and hunt for the next task. I feel like I'm getting lost. The tap/click logic is different between the mobile apps and the desktop/web. When you tap a task in the mobile app, an icon draw shows under the task with different icons like tagging, snoozing, reminders but when you click a task in the desktop/web version, you edit the task name, which is so thing you almost never want to do. It also hides the comment icon. Now you have to click cancel and click a tiny little comment icon at the end of the title to view or add comments. If you go back and forth between mobile and desktop version, it can be frustrating. Overall there's a lot of possible organizational abilities but commenting really needs work and really slows me down to the point where I think about going back to Wunderlist.
