"Good - But has a lot of baggage!"
Version: ToDoList 6.6.5
Pros
If you have used other project management software? Then this one will be simplistic to use. Pertinent information is displayed on one main screen.
Cons
This program loads with a lot of bloatware, so be careful or you will be adding a toolbar, new startpage and a few other unwanted options.
Summary
No hidden malware detected. But it sure is a creepy instal. However the software seems to do what it says and does very well.

"Really, really complicated"
Version: ToDoList 6.5.3
Pros
None that I can think of
Cons
Strange installation, incredibly complicated interface.
Summary
First - I used CNET's downloader (couldn't find a way around it), which meant I had to be careful to opt out of all the extra stuff it wanted to install along with this software. That was a pain in itself. Then instead of a standard installation, with an icon on the desktop or a "Do you want to run this software now?" message in the last screen, I got a window showing a folder inside the Downloads folder which itself was inside the My Documents folder. I have my browser set to put downloads on the Desktop so I can find them more easily, so I don't know why the installation did this. But it made it a lot harder to open the software - I had to sort through 28 files to find the one that looked like it might open the program. There were 2 EXE files but one looked like an updater so I clicked on the other one.
But even that didn't open the program right away; first I had to get through a couple of other windows, one of which asked me which items I wanted it to show. Most of those didn't mean anything to me so I clicked through that window and eventually got to what I think was the main screen. But it had so many items on it that I didn't recognize, including a lot of terms and abbreviations I'd never heard before, that I decided not to go any further.
Maybe I'm just out of touch with things, or maybe this program is designed for more sophisticated users than I am, but I'm not going to waste any more time trying to figure it out. I don't like to keep stuff I don't use so I'd like to uninstall it, but I can't find a way to do that so I'm just going to delete that folder with the 28 files in it. -
"IMHO the best todo list program."
Version: ToDoList 6.5.3
Pros
Fast, small, easy to use, easy to adapt to your needs, way of work (GTD, DIT,...), portable.
At first it looks a little bit overwhelming, but
1. you can easily hide all the elements you do not need (even from the menues)
2. all the elements you need to get an overview and to work with the list are in one single interface, no tabbed dialogs to open ...Cons
none I can think of
Summary
It's free, but I would happily buy it, because for everyday use it is much better than many expensive, fancy commercial programs I used before.

"Awesome. Best of the many ToDo softwares I have tried"
Version: ToDoList 6.4.9
Pros
Highly configurable, networkable, found it easy to track tasks, "tight" listing (many ToDo lists put too much white space between entries and therefore do not make efficient use of the available screen), built-in hotkey access from anywhere in your system.
Cons
For me, none. Some people may find that the degree of customisation available is daunting but it's not in-your-face.
Summary
A keeper.
-

"Very basic and easy to use"
Version: ToDoList 6.2.8
Pros
I can have all my tasks displayed on one page. Can create sub-tasks, due dates and times, categories, prioritize, create statuses, allocate tasks, add links to a task, change task colour - very handy!
Cons
I haven't found any yet. The ability to enter multiple lines of text for each task would be a 'nice to have'.
Summary
Very handy tool. The fact that it is free makes it even better!!
-
"Best I've Tried"
Version: ToDoList 6.1
Pros
Simple setup. Recurring tasks. Many categories.
Cons
I would like the option of making the font larger. Old eyes, I guess, but it would be the only change i would make to the program.
Summary
This program is simple, logical and useful for many categories of tasks--home, work, hobbies.
This program is terrifically organized, and lets you combine task lists for both work and home. I love it.

"Love this Program!"
Version: ToDoList 6.1
Pros
This is one tool I've been searching for. Love the customizations
Cons
Its free so why complain? Just download it and enjoy.
-
"Great product!!"
Version: ToDoList 6.0
Pros
Easy to use and understand. I was looking for a desktop tool to input simple tasks and assign names to them. This one fit the bill perfectly. You can make it as complex or simple as you need to.
Cons
No specific cons about the product. I do wish there were a MAC/OS version so I could use it on my MAC machine.
