BHive Google Tasks Free for Android
The app deleted almost all my data for 2016 and 2017. It didn't sync back to my Google account since early 2016, so MY DATA ARE LOST. It will take weeks to reenter the data, but from memory I wouldn't have it all. The company did not reply to my request to assistance. Extremely disappointed.
This was a nice app when it was being maintained, but it is no longer being updated. It hangs when attempting to sync with Google, and unfortunately sync can't be disabled. I sent three messages to the developer but never received a response. So, best to avoid this one.
How is this task supposed to work if it doesn't even ask you for your Google account or give you any options for setting up a Google account?
Pro: Repeating tasks,decent widget,scheduled sync Con:No multi-account support, so I still need another app. I multi-account enabled, would buy.
Missing the main feature of Google Tasks: sub-tasks. Also crashy.

Also need sort by ABC and status (open/complete) simultaneously in one list.
The widget shows my current and upcoming tasks, just the way I want it to, and I can complete them when done. Recurring tasks are my main use and work great.
Syncs cleanly & doesn't lose data...unless user accidentally deletes items. There is no undelete. Seriously??
Perfect for what I'm looking for
Easy to create tasks and move tasks from one day to another. Google sync works well. One suggestion is to create the ability to manually sort tasks on a given day, by drag and drop, which makes for a quicker way to prioritize them.
The only free program that I've run into that allows you to repeat tasks in detail. It also has very good bulk editing features. The only problem that I am running into is it does not tell you the number of tasks you have moved to a new due date, it always displays as zero. No response from the developer about this bug so I don't know it'll be fixed. Do yourself a favor and go with todoist.
Very sleek and intuitive for day to day tasks. I have been using it for a while now. I only just discovered that it's been erasing completed tasks from both GoogleTasks & BHIVE when the "Clear completed tasks" action in GoogleTasks is selected. I only learned about it because I had a lot of notes in one task that are now lost to me. So if you need notes for reference later... use something else. 11/24/14 edit - this app is now arbitrarily deleting reoccurring tasks.
Can view tasks by priority, date, and status.
Uninstall now.
great app.. simple and clean
When setting a repeating event, rather than clicking the checkmark at top, hit back and then save. Works and does not crash this way. 5 stars if dev fixes this issue. Great, great app!
After thinking I'd finally found a good app that syncs with Google tasks, was disappointed to find the app would crash whenever going to set a task to repeat - in my case I was attempting to set a task to repeat fortnightly on Wednesdays, but it was also crashing when setting to repeat weekly. Please can you investigate and fix this. It would be great if anyone else could mention of they've encountered crashing when setting tasks to repeat...
I think this could be a good app, but the biggest issue is that it shows my taks lists as a plain list. It does not keep the original tree hierarchy of my lists.
I couldn't even make a task repeat everyday since the app crashed right after I selected "daily".
After trying Astrid, TaskNTodos, Gtasks, etc. -- each for a week at a time to be sure -- I finally tried BHive. It is the only one that not only syncs with the lame task list in my Google calendar, but does all of the few basic things I need that the others don't: sort tasks by category and then by priority within the category, but still collapse categories to view all tasks in order of priority, sort tasks by priority and not by due date, allow easy entry of notes without pressing 2+ additional buttons to get to the entry field screen, and not crash. Not much to ask, but couldn't do it with the others, except Astrid -- but that one was just too complicated and clogged with extra templates and confirmation requirements at each step. I don't pay for many apps, but when my trial is up I'll be more than happy to upgrade. Thanks!
I love the Layout Preference option, which gives a view others don't seem to offer. Many options to make the tasks presentation match my needs. Keep up the great work.
The alerts don't work
Can't resize widget, crashes a lot
I tried many, this one is easy and complete! I LOVE IT!
Not good
Latest update has brought in ads. And the new dark theme and the layout are no good. Don't update!
Lousy new dark theme is really hard to read. All Lists view - no more option to group by list, a huge usability setback for me. And on and on. They messed with a good app and made it suck.
I tried different apps for gtasks already but, for me, this works best. It doen't take too much memory. It's not cluttered and complicated. The input method is very user friendly. It has it's own reminder sytem. Works well offline. The free version doesn't autosync but I don't mind this because I can still sync in an unlimited number of times just by pressing the sync button.
Great for keeping organised.
Simply the best I've found

I have used this app for a while and found it perfect for my requirements until recently. Updated my phone to Galaxy S3 with Jelly Bean os and now I can't use repeating tasks. App force closes. Also, reminders have not worked for some time now. I have reverted to using Astrid with syncing to G tasks. If developer can fix these problems, I will be back to using Bhive. **Update** On the latest update, the dev has fixed the repeating tasks problem. I have tested this and it appears to work well. Reminders also working now. Happy to change my rating from 2 stars to 5 stars since this app suits my requirements perfectly for tracking and controlling my tasks.
When setting up a recurring tasks for example "every 2 or 3 weeks" if the task is marked a completed using the app the next occurrence is created 1 week after not 2 or 3. Also if the task is marked as completed using Google tasks there is no next occurrence created. Big waste of my time, would pay for it if it worked properly!! Sux!
Syncs cleanly & doesn't lose data...ever. Mass update is a great feature. Thanks for fixing repeating task issue. Best task app I found, even though very slow on open. QUESTION to Developer: Undo option after Delete flashes quickly or not at all. To avoid accidental data loss, can you increase the duration time or trigger a message box ? Thanks.
I feel like my hunt for a fully functional tasks app may be over. I used Tasks (paid for) by Team Tasks for years, and the main thing that has always disappointed me is the lack of recurring tasks. You have implemented it extremely well, and for this reason I am converting. I also love the toasts for new tasks; the sorting options; and ease of creating new tasks. A few niggling things I would love to see implemented: a light theme for the widget to match my calendar widget, ticking the tasks actually sends them to the complete list (and you would instead long press for delete + other options), and a one click delete within the task view itself. I will happily upgrade to premium with these features implemented, and will donate the price of the app on top. Looking forward to seeing more updates. Keep up the good work. Edit 27/2/14: Updated my review as after a days use it appears that reminders are not working. I wonder if this is because it is not background syncing. I will update to 5* when this is fixed, and may have to look for another solution in the meantime for this crucial feature.

Modern Interface. Ease of task entry.. Love the tags. Almost perfect!! Would like to have sub tasks option and ability to set reminders on dates earlier than due date. Disappointed with updated versions. Reminders rarely work. Ability to sort by tags no longer there. Still requires manual sync . downgrading.
Reminders rarely work. It looks good, and has everything I need, but working reminders is a deal breaker for me. . . I emailed the developer about it and never received a response. . .
