Posted May 22, 2019 in: Feature Roadmap and New Pricing Plans
Score: 0
... Speaking of exporting/importing to other apps, does anyone have any experience with exporting ToodleDo files (XML or csv) and then importing them to other platforms? Which platform is best at accepting ToodleDo files and then enabling most of the same functionality of ToodleDo? I would like to have a contingency plan in place, in case Toodledo folds, eliminates the free version, or becomes unusable for some reason.
I backup my files frequently, and a last ditch contingency is to open the files in Excel and access them there. But... that's an emergency measure only and not very easy or functional. I should have a second source in place in case the worst happens... |

Have used Toodledo forever (over 10 years) for a fairly complex list of projects and todos. We have grown together and I developed my own way of doing things based on various disciplines - GTD and others. I always found a way to make things work. Because I loved the platform so much, I paid for three Gold subscriptions just to help the company (Jake was always great), even though I only really used one. The other two were parking spaces populated by exporting my main account and importing it into the others.
So now, my workday is actually getting less complex, and the old tried and true features of Toodledo still do most of what I need. I will let my extra paid subscriptions lapse and drop down to the free subscription level. At some point, I will export my main subscription and then upload it into one of my free accounts and experiment. If I can get by with the free version, I will let my main subscription drop down to the free level, too. If not, I may go into the standard subscription and pay the $36 per year, which I can easily afford. At the end of the day, I will be paying less to Toodledo than before. So their big price increases will have backfired on them. If the company survives (and there's no certainly about that), I will probably stay with them, at least at the free level. I am not really in the mood to go out and explore any new options right now, but will do that if the company shuts down. The export feature is great, and I do backups frequently. So if the company does shut down, I think I will be able to import my backup files into a new platform... This message was edited May 22, 2019. |

To reinforce my earlier points above, as the lists of new feature requests and software enhancements continue to pour in from all of the creative and innovative people that use ToodleDo and want to do more and more...
I like ToodleDo the way it is right now, and I don't want any changes at all, except for required bug fixes and essential updates needed to comply with regulations (like GDPR), new security measures, and evolving communications protocols -- ALL of which should be invisible to me. To this end, I just paid to extend my ToodleDo accounts into the middle of the year 2020 in hopes that nothing will change and that today's version of ToodleDo stays the same, so that I can keep doing what I have been doing. I encourage Sam and his team to compile all of the great ideas that they have plus all of the change requests and feature enhancements coming in from so many bright and ambitious people. Channel all of that energy into creating an all new solution that attracts a new generation of personal users and enterprise users / all of whom hopefully will be willing to pay what it will take to fund the desired new developments. Maybe the new platform should have a completely different name? (Insert name here) "from the company that brought you ToodleDo." But I really hope that today's ToodleDo (Classic) does not get destroyed in the process of trying to jam in too many new features and making too many changes in an effort to grow the customer base and increase profits. That strategy has sadly killed a lot of wonderful software products over the past 40 or 45 years... This message was edited Jul 08, 2018. |
