User Reviews

Users praise The Hit List for deep, flexible task management (nesting, smart folders, tagging) and strong keyboard-driven, language-based scheduling across Mac and iOS. However, recurring complaints center on years of no Mac updates, iOS instability, syncing problems, outdated device support, and poor/unclear support.

Pros

Extremely powerful and flexible task management with infinite nesting, folders and subtasks, and robust smart folders
Efficient keyboard-driven workflows and quick filing/goto features (keyboard shortcuts and quick navigation)
Natural language scheduling and strong recurring item support
Reliable data handling and low data loss; strong data integrity for typical use
Strong cross-platform synergy between Mac and iOS; the Mac app complements the mobile experience for power users

Cons

Mac version appears abandoned or never updated in years; Mac app often unavailable or not updated
iOS version is buggy and prone to crashes, with reports of white screens and launch failures
Unreliable syncing across devices with data corruption in subtasks and repeated install cycles needed
Lags behind modern devices/features (iPhone X support, recent hardware) and other apps
Support/QA issues and difficulty contacting the company; updates are infrequent

Mac version is no longer available on their web site or in the App Store. This one hasn’t been updated in 5 years. Unfortunate :-(

Everything in this app is PERFECT bro. The only drawback for me is the inability to manually or alphabetically organize the Lists tab. And I say this is a huge flaw because the Tags tab is alphabetically organized but not the Lists tab. I had to take a star off because of this! And this is coming from someone who is a huge practitioner of bullet journaling, GTD, and the 12-week year frameworks together. Oh and you can put sub-tasks within sub-tasks! This is REALLY useful if you’re a practitioner of the 12-week year book. It helped me organize my project tasks by week and then all I had to do next was move the project lists for my 12-week-year goals to a folder that focuses solely on one 12-week-year period at a time. But like I said, I wish I could reorganize the order of the folders and project lists. That would really help!
