Community reviews for Remember The Milk

This app is very convenient and easy to navigate. I use it for my own personal use for my day to day busy schedule. I have become more efficient in my time management skills and organization. The only part that was time consuming was inputting my events and reminders into the calendar. I have it linked up to my Google Calendar.

I can't see a use for this in the classroom. There are other apps for sharing to do lists with entire classes. As much as I like it for myself.

So far, I like to the looks of it and the simplicity of it. Students who struggle with organization and time management can learn from this app. I now have my students open their student agendas to write down what we did in class and their homework. Some students struggle to keep up with their agenda but they always know where their tablet or phone is located. If they learn to use their electronic device to help with organization that is a bonus.

I do really like RTM, but it is simply overpriced especially when you consider the number for free alternatives. Personally I do use a paid task manger (Things), but that is because it includes so many additional features and it does not require a monthly or yearly subscription. Otherwise I have had lots of success with Reminders in iOS, Google Tasks, and Wunderlist (there is a free and paid version).

This app could be used as a teaching tool to aid students in being responsible for remembering important dates. One very nice feature of this app is the memo feature. Students can actually take notes right in the app. For example, if you review for a test, they can take notes here of what the key points are for the test and what you want them to know. Let's say you tell the students there is a test next Monday. They can program that date into this app and then click on it and a notepad will pop up where they can place any notes for the assignment or test. There are a lot of apps out there for maintaining a virtual date book and some might be more advanced or more eye catching but for those who just need the basics or are new to basic concepts, this app is great for simply keeping track of dates. I really like the note feature and the ability to send reminders to your email. Again, not much offered for looks or detail, but it does the trick.

I love RTM to use with students. Like any app you need to teach students how they can use it effectively but I believe that RTM is a great option for teaching students how to manage their time, prioritize, and how effective lists can be. I use it with my son too and sync to his account so I can help him stay on top of his assignments and check in to see how he's doing.
