User reviews

Users appreciate the extension's powerful organizational features including subtasks, integration with Google services, and AI-assisted list generation. However, many find the initial account creation and subscription prompt off-putting. The complexity of the UI can overwhelm those desiring a simple to-do list, and some are frustrated by tasks disappearing after completion or the slow loading of the new tab page. Despite these, it's highly recommended for users who want advanced project management and collaboration within a Chrome new tab.
Pros
  • Highly customizable with multiple templates and project views
  • Allows creation of subtasks and outlining features
  • Integrates with Google Calendar and other platforms
  • Features a powerful AI that can generate to-do lists and outlines
  • Useful for collaboration and managing multiple projects
Cons
  • Requires account creation and subscription prompt upon installation
  • Complex user interface, overwhelming for users seeking simple to-do lists
  • Limited free features; many advanced options require payment
  • Issues with task completion visibility (tasks disappear when checked)
  • New tab page loading speed can be slow

As soon as you download it, it asks you to create a new account on their website and then makes you purchase a subscription. Don't download unless you are ok with giving them your personal information right away

Terrible extension. First, it asks me to create an account, then I have to choose a project none of which are actually task lists, and then I am prompted to choose a plan? Spent 5 minutes setting it up and never managed to create a task list.

I have tried DOZENS of other new tab to do list extensions on the chrome web store and this was the best one by far, and that's not a good thing. I'm going to list my PROS and CONS about this so people reading the reviews don't get a headache. PROS: - You can import and integrate a lot of things from other platforms (if you use google calendar, today's your lucky day) - Make as many subtasks as you want - Able to customize what "project" your new tab opens - Loads of templates to choose from - Different kinds of project views - Folders so you can separate different kinds of workspaces (one for work, one for home, etc.) CONS: - System is VERY complex, be prepared to have the FAQ page open a lot to find out how to do basic things - There's no options to make just an event if you want to use this for it's calendar function, it automatically makes it a task that you have to check off, but you are able to set what time that thing is - Shoves its AI feature in your face a lot - You're not able to view a projects contents from the dashboard, you have to open it yourself - Can't adjust kanban board column size - Dashboard view is extremely limiting and unpleasant to look at WISHLIST: MUST HAVES: - Ability to adjust width of kanban board columns - Ability to vertically AND horizontally display kanban columns, so short columns aren't wasting half of the screen - More layout options for dashboard, specifically a grid view and/or collage that can show previews of major tasks or sections, and unfold to show all of the details of each project too. (When I say collage view, I'm thinking like how pinterest lays out their pins so that no pins are cropped while still fitting the most amount of content into one page as possible.) - Ability to interact with project contents via the dashboard view NICE TO HAVES: - built in pomodoro timer MORE THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS: So the thing I really dislike about this extension is the way they handle projects. I personally like to see everything at once so I don't forget it exists, and I organize my tasks by subject since I'm still in school. NewTab only has one view for it's dashboard, and you're forced to create "projects" in order to make any kind of to-do list (other than via the calendar). So the way I currently have my new tab set up is that I have one project that holds ALL of my to-do lists that I keep in the board view. This is a great setup except for the fact that the columns take up a third of the screen, so if you have 6 lists, it's impossible to view them all at once since you can't adjust the width and you can stack anything vertically. I've been using this for about a month and a half or so now and it's been quite helpful! However, I still feel like it's missing a lot of necessities. If any of the developers end up reading this, I hope this is helpful and that you actually make these changes! Remember that your tools act as a crutch for those who struggle with executive dysfunction, like myself, so listen to your audience and take care of your product! We rely on it!
