MagicTask

What a shame. The web app works ok. Might’ve subscribed if I could

This is such a great app especially for someone with ADD that needs things flexible but simple in execution and this is perfect for that.

The premise reeled me in, but when I download it and opened it for the first time, some glaring UI/UX issues jumped out at me that made the app frustrating to try to learn or even use. To begin with, I was hoping for some kind of explanation as to how to get started. I jumped into the app, created an account, and then was given a mostly blank screen with a few list names, and a "+" button at the bottom i assumed was to add a task. I was fumbling around, trying to figure out how I can add projects, and then add tasks to those projects. there's also the fact that I didn't think they had a menu bar until I clicked on their logo on the top left. Innovative, but ultimately confusing. Having the typical three-line-hamburger bar would more than suffice. A menu would open from one corner, but to exit you'd have to go to the other corner. If you go into a second layer of menus, when you tap out, it would bring you back to the main page, instead of the previous menu. their tag system when creating a task was also very confusing, it gave me a one-word description of the little symbols I could use to separate and identify different tasks. When I tried using them, it did not indicate any difference from a task without tags, and i was lost as to how they're meant to help me organize. Most of these problems, among others, could honestly be solved with a short introductory walk-through when you open the app for the first time. Otherwise, I think this app needs some more widespread user testing and revision before it can fully become what it advertised itself to be. They're definitely onto something here, so I hope it can see improvement before long.
