Getting things done is everyone’s motto. However, one can simply not get all things done if one’s day is unplanned and disorganized. These simple to do list apps serve to be eco-friendly and can also be helpful personal reminder services to adhere to and successfully accomplish daily tasks. Using a to do list helps organize a day or week and takes some load off one’s mind for new or recurring tasks every week so you do not miss out on deadlines.
Of several to do list apps, six or seven were deserving of being in the top 5. Here is our list of top five to do list apps for Android.
Wunderlist
Highly rated and recommended Wunderlist app works flawlessly across different platforms and mobile operating systems. Meant for business and personal use, Wunderlist allows users to register for a Wunderlist account so that all the tasks in the to do list are synced to the account and accessible anywhere, anytime. Creating a to do list is quite easy and the user can share lists with family, friends and colleagues. In fact, the app allows collaboration on a to do list as well – imagine planning a surprise party or working on a team project.

Any.do
Sleek and elegant looking Any.do is what we recommend to those who are just getting into to do list creation and management. It has a simple interface and logical gestures for editing tasks. Make a quick to do list and set up tasks with reminders. These tasks can be easily divided by Today, Tomorrow, This Week and Later. This app is elemental for those who plan their weeks in advance and usually travel around a lot. Pulling down the task list will let you create a new task and once you have finished it, shake the phone to automatically remove the completed task.
The auto complete function plays a crucial role when you are listing tasks. The best part is that it supports voice tags, but this feature is somewhat rough at the moment. Missed calls can automatically be turned into reminders. Get the Any.do app for your Android device from the Google Play store.
Astrid
The original Astrid app got acquired by Yahoo! but Alex Baker took scraped code and kept a different version of Astrid to do list app alive. This app does not sync data to any third-party website. Users can create a to do list by adding tasks that also include description and priority. Events can be easily planned on this app and activities related to particular events can be tracked.
Users can also sync the app with Google Tasks to pull in different tasks that have been created. This wonderful app is free, robust and very easy to use. Get Astrid app for Android from the Google Play store.
