Google Tasks is a bad to-do list app, but I can’t quit it because of one killer feature
No other to-do list app does what Google Tasks does.
Google Tasks is a basic to-do list app for Android, but its lack of features makes it hard to switch. Despite missing key functionality like sharing and location-based reminders, I can't quit it due to one feature: integration with Google Nest Hub. This feature ensures I never miss a reminder, as it appears on the Nest Hub's home screen as a virtual sticky note.
The Nest Hub is always in my line of sight, making it easier to remember tasks compared to notifications on my phone. The red pop-up from Missed Tasks is a helpful reminder and seeing upcoming tasks on the Nest Hub is more intentional than other notifications. If I were to use another app, I wouldn't get this functionality. Despite its flaws, this Nest Hub tie-in is enough for me to keep using Google Tasks.
