## Review summary

SwiftoDo is praised for its clean, minimal interface and strong emphasis on the todo.txt plain-text format. Users report fast, distraction-free task management and reliable cross-device syncing with Dropbox or iCloud. The app shines with import/export and filtering capabilities tailored to text-based workflows, and the developer is noted for responsiveness and regular updates. Common drawbacks include crashes or freezes when setting due dates, a desire for modern iOS features (widgets, watch support, push notifications, automatic theming), and occasional stability issues tied to syncing or adding tasks.

### Pros

- Clean, simple UI that makes it fast to view, add, and edit tasks.
- Reliable syncing across devices through Dropbox/iCloud and solid support for plain-text todo.txt files.
- Excellent todo.txt compatibility with import/export and strong filtering options.
- Strong customization and flexible filters that fit a text-based workflow.
- Active developer support with regular updates and quick responses.

### Cons

- Date/due-date UI can crash or freeze the app (inline date picker crashes, freezes when setting due dates).
- Lack of modern iOS features: no widgets, no Apple Watch support, no push notifications, and no automatic dark mode switching.
- Stability issues during syncing or adding items causing the app to hang or risk data loss (e.g., blank file after sync).
