It's Done! A Superb Little App! – It's Done! Review

I'm really enjoying using the It's Done! app and I finally decided to post a Customer Review to let the world know! It downloaded quickly/easiy from the AppStore and has worked perfectly from the very first time I launched it. I've been using it for over a month on pretty much a daily basis. As a rule, I'm not a forgetful person, but there were certain routine daily tasks that I'd occasionally forget whether or not I did them. Like I'd be driving away from the house and have to turn around to drive back to check whether I closed the garage door. Or I'd forget if I'd turned off the sprinkler. By having these and other tasks loaded in It's Done!, all I have to do is check them off when I do them. Then, instead of driving back home, I can look at the app. If there's a check mark, it's done. If no check-mark, I gotta go back and do it. So far, It's Done! has been right every time! Setting up new tasks is a cinch, especially since the app already has so many common tasks pre-loaded. I did create a few of my own custom tasks, but that was really easy to do, too. It's also easy to select when you want the tasks to recur by days of the week. I've also scheduled a few tasks a week in advance using the scheduling feature.When the tasks are set to recur every day, the task view screen pops up fresh each day with the tasks to be completed. The app lets you categorize tasks into a variety of categories (and you can custom-create your own), so it's easy to view them by category, especially if you've got a lot of tasks for the day. I've tried the reminder alert feature with taking a vitamin at 8:00 AM and it worked flawlessly, with a "chirp" and vibration on my iPhone to remind me at the right time. With the reminder, it lets you open the task view page to check the task done. Very intuitive! Though I didn't have anyone I needed to notify of my "done" tasks, I did try out the notifications feature to send a text and email to a friend when I checked the task "lock back door". Within a couple of minutes of me tapping a checkmark in the box, he called to tell me he'd gotten both the text and email notifications. That's a really cool feature of the app. I can see how useful this feature would be for someone who needs to notify others when important tasks are done. The app is well-designed and very attractively laid out with great colors and graphics. I particularly like the way the app creates a click sound and phone vibration whenever a checkmark is tapped to show the task done. Kind of confirms you've made a checkmark! Smart! The app lets you look back or ahead in time to see tasks you've done or need to do. The task history function is also helpful for seeing which tasks you completed on past days. You can easily re-set or purge the history, but I'm keeping it so I can see it how much I really get done! I'm sure there are lots of apps out there that allow you to schedule or check-off tasks, but none of them seem as easy to use and friendly as the It's Done! app. It seems this app's main function is to let you know whether or not you did something and it does that well. The reminder alert makes it a handy memory device for getting things done and the notifications feature is a really great idea that I'm sure a lot of people will find helpful. The app opens to the task view page, so there's never the need to navigate all around or press lots of commands to get to the heart of the matter: Did I do it? It's Done! lets you know that quickly and easily. It's really kind of fun to use and easy to incorporate into a daily routine. I highly recommend this app. For $2.99, it's a bargain, especially if it helps you recall whether or not you did something crucial, like turn off the stove or close the garage door. The first time it does that, you'll be glad you got It's Done!
