Not perfect, but the best productivity app out there – OmniFocus 2 Review

I have tried many, many different productivity and to-do apps before I first bought the $20 iPhone version of OF over 3 years ago. I can't remember them all by name, but I was married to Google Tasks and really wanted something that synced with it. The options were limited. Then I was just going for the simple and free apps - but they left me feeling unorganized and cluttered even in their simplicity. I couldn't organize things well or have due dates or projects, etc. I knew of OF but didn't want to spend the money originally. But once I did I have never turned back. I have been using OF for so long, at times I think I would be lost without it. I love the organization it offers, with Projects (different types), folders, etc. Deferred dates were confusing at first but now I love them. A while back, I shelled out the additional $20 for the Universal app to use on an iPad and then one I started using OF at work I bought the Pro version and wish I had done it sooner! The custom perspectives are very helpful to keep personal and work projects and items separate. The Reminders capture is also very helpful. I used to use the Forecast feature but I am slowly moving away from using due dates and mostly using daily reviews to flag items that need completed. Then the custom perspectives come into play to keep be focused. But OF is not perfect...there are a few features that I wish they had...but they listen to you and have great customer service. I have had many questions and I always get an email response within a couple of days. Has it always been the answer the I was expecting? No, but they seem to be open to implementing ideas if enough people request them. It will be interesting to see whether or not they "succumb" to the subscription model after I have paid $40 for a mobile only app (I would purchase the OSX version if I was on my computer enough to justifying, but I am not).
