Is Finish just another to-do list manager in an oversatured market?

There are probably more to-do list managers on the iTunes Store than any other app category, but Finish offers a different approach. It focuses on what needs to be done soonest, and lets you put off worrying about tasks in the more distant future.

It's easy to use and the interface is clean and well designed

The interface is clean and well designed, and the app is light on options – virtually the only thing you can do is change the lengths
of your short, medium and long-term groupings. Oddly, you can share details of a task on Twitter or Facebook too, although we can’t see why you’d want to.

If you handle complex projects with hundreds of tasks, or have tasks that don’t have due dates, it might be too simple for you. But for the prevaricators amongst us, Finish does a nice job.
