My wife and I have used just about every collaborative to do list out there. It always ends up being a combination of that list with emails, text messages, conversations, notes etc.. Orchestra was the first app that replaced it all for us. It's so immediate my wife thinks we actually are text messaging when using the app. It's so simple yet incredibly powerful which is a testament to their talented team. I'm starting to use it at work and finding where it's place is in that setting too.

orchestra is so awesome! i used to be a sticky note addict, but i transferred all of my messy to-do notes into orchestra, and find it helps me organize my tasks so much more neatly. i use it for everything from my shopping list, to simple reminders, to collaboration with my team at work. i love that i can access them from my iphone or web, so all of the info is available wherever i am. better than that, I can FINALLY get my email-lame co-workers to get stuff done! it's the only thing that's worked so far! I highly recommend this app.

Absolutely love this app. I use it for everything that I do by myself, and many things I coordinate with friends now. Live chat is an amazingly killer feature. Never would have guessed. And it fits into GTD pretty nicely without being too rigid. Give it a shot!

I've been using this app for a couple weeks now and I find it a great way to stay organized; in addition to using orchestra for my personal tasks lists, I enjoy using it with my friends and family! I find it easy to separate my tasks into lists to stay organized and share my tasks/lists with friends and family. It's nice to be able to create a task for my friends and family and receive immediate feedback from the person that I've assigned a task too. It's a much nicer way to communicate to get tasks done without the tasks getting lost in email/texts. My favorite aspects of orchestra:+ It's SOCIAL - so fun to communicate. I find myself wanting to save some of the completed tasks sometimes!+ Ability to organize the tasks by lists AND share lists with others (for example create list 'camping' and add two members of my family to list, subsequently create the followings tasks: 1. Buy Tent 2. Buy Sleeping Bag 3. Buy Food, all tasks added to the 'camping' list are viewable by the members added to the list. Also all subsequent communication by any member of the list is viewable to all)+ Works internationally!!! + Connected to my address book. If I add a task to call back a friend, and that friend is in my address book, the name appears as a link and I call from within the app+ Seamless notificationsI've used this app for many different purposes, including work, marathon training, trip planning, etc! This is a go to app that I'll be using for a while! Nice job, Orchestra!

Helps me keep my to-do list organized and tidy. Must-get, head and shoulders above the competition.

Awesome app

This app has a user-friendly format, and is very intuitive to use. It keeps all of my lists in order in one handy place, and I find great satisfaction in checking off my completed tasks :) It's also ingenious to have a built-in chat device, as it is an easy way to quickly communicate with others about our shared tasks. I have to admit, I also love the stylish backgrounds!

orchestra has been great to use at home with my wife. we keep in touch via the app during the day and keep tabs on everything that has to get done. the speed and simplicity are really great.

Having used many GTD systems over the years, trust me when I say: Orchestra is something special.Orchestra takes a no-nonsense approach to making tasks easy, especially with the voice task-create feature! Once you throw your friends into the mix, delegating tasks and coordinating them is trivial. What Orchestra succeeds at (and others fail) is it reduces the need for email/sms/facebook to get others moving. Managing tasks with others is as simple as having a conversation with someone.I could go on comparing Things, Wunderlist, The Hit List, Remember the Milk, etc... but really, Orchestra is such a powerfully unique and simple alternative, it hasn't left me wanting.

Finally no more post its and scraps of paper lying around. Been using it for everything from shared grocery list w my GF to future vacation planning. Love the web-phone connect and the voice control!!

By far the best task app on the market. I've used them all...Wunderlist, Todo, Things, all of them. This app does everything you would ever need. And the most important feature is you can ad tasks on the fly by the tap and speak feature. Great when you're driving. Great job guys! Can't wait to see what's next!

I like it. It's really cool, stable, reliable, fast and does exactly what it says it does. It's simple enough to keep home moving smoothly, and just powerful enough to manage team tasks at the office, and you can do it without opening up one list to another. It's a great idea, done pretty darn well. I've seen zero cashes on iPhone 4, iPod touch 4th or iPhone 3Gs. It's awesome. Thanx guys. 

Now hopefully me and the wife can be more productive and hopefully I won't forget everything I need to get done!

Wonderful app! So much to do with a toddler in the house and this app helps keeps me organized!!!

Great app! Very useful, and well written.

it's crazy simple to add things i need to do (voice recognition!) and I've already started assigning tasks to my boyfriend and started a shared list of household stuff. the chat within a task feature is amazing - why hasn't anyone thought of this before?! New share feature is insane - I can toss questions out to my crowd like, any advice on a good restaurant in the Castro for a birthday dinner?

I love the voice to text feature! Suggestion--please add color coding to the "lists", as I tend to do many tasks for different projects. It would make it easier to figure out which task is for whom.I'd also like to see push notifications--but for a free app, this definitely kicks some serious butt!!

These to-do apps always seem to fall short ... Not this one!

My husband and I have this app. We both enjoy using it. It's easy. It's quick. It's communicative. I wish I could change fonts for my preference. But that's just me. The BEST to-do app so far!!!!

1-100 mon-sun stay firmly on beastmode growing thoughts 5 star my life b4 I press prejudice rating Jk haha shut the hell up have sense of humor 100 plus activities between your legs is the rumor but then again Arnold said "it's a TUMOR" cool magnificent epic app btw

This may be a free app with a nice UI, but all the people giving it 5 stars are missing the main points of a to-do app: Reminders and specific due dates. Unless you're constantly going into the app, how are you going to remember what needs to be done and when? And if you can remember all the things you need to do, then obviously you don't need a to-do app. Plain and simple. Design over functionality much?

Great idea, love the concept, but for me it is useless without a due date. It has promise though, I would pay for it if they add this feature.

This is exactly what I want!! It's simple, has good design, easy to usejust what I wanted!

Version 0.9.5 adds the ability to DELETE A PERSONAL TASK by entering into the task and swiping to the left... The new big red Delete Task button is a thing of beauty.  app without a doubt. The best "to do list"/task  down. Clean user interface, fairly intuitive. My bride and I absolutely love it.

I have tried all of the todo apps and I absolutely love this one. Easy capture of tasks and I love the sharing feature! I heart orchestra!!!

This app is the easiest, most intuitive merge of tech, I love it. I can't tell you how much sense this makes; you're developers are visionaries...

orchestra has been great to use with my wife. we keep in touch via the app during the day and keep tabs on everything that has to get done. the speed and simplicity are really great.

Amazed on how much I remember things with the app thank you so much

After trying various to-do apps, ie milk the cow, I am thrilled with this app!! Unsurpassed functionality and appearance- use it incessantly!! Developers hit a home run !!!

All of the features work seamlessly! A truly awesome to do list! One thing would make it completely perfect and that would be to add a number badge on the icon for incomplete tasks. I need that reminder that I still have tasks to do.

Finally, a to-do list app that lets you spend your time actually doing instead managing your list! Orchestra is the perfect way to remember, prioritize and delegate all those tasks that would drive a normal person insane. With Orchestra, it's never been easier to remind your assistant to schedule a two hour "business lunch" for you each Friday at the local motel, or set a weekly reminder to change shirts and gargle with mouthwash on the way home, or even set up a recurring task for your wife to join you at marriage counseling the next morning. Thanks Orchestra team, for making difficult lives easy!

Everything it says it can do, it does. Better than any other app I have tried and I shared it with friends within hours of downloading it. Worth downloading and using.

I like being able to jot to-do items down and actually organize them in realistic ways. I actually feel like I am tackling things more efficiently by not overlooking tasks that can completed faster or sooner than others

I really like orchestra! I use it with my whole church staff! I also use it for video projects, assigning different tasks to my different team members. And, of course, I use it for all of my personal to-dos!

Awesome! For me, as a more individual user, it's perfect. Voice rec + a simple interface solves my needs. Oddly enough I want to see premium features :)

I'm a long time omnifocus user, but need a way to collaborate todo lists with my wife. This app went beyond my expectations. Love UI, quick syncing, todo voice control, and chat sessions for each todo item. It would also be great to have location aware reminders. Love it!

Orchestra is super simple and smart. They did a good job of making complex task easy to record and remember. It works flawlessly with the web app for your computer. I highly recommend and can't go a day with out it. Thanks orchestra!

My wife and I use this to keep our to-do lists together. Works great!

I've taken the time to rate this app each time it's been updated for only one reason. It's remarkable. I searched high and low for a to-do manager for me and my team, and nothing comes close to the simplicity and all around awesomeness of Orchestra. And on top of that, their support team has been phenomenal. They responded to me through both email and Twitter and got my issues resolved quickly. A sincere thank you to everyone on the Orchestra team for the great product you've given us today and the new updates and enhancements you're already working on to make Orchestra better than ever.

Use it every day to keep track of lots of things I am up to.
