With 5 releases over the observed window and a last update 86 days ago, the development cadence has slowed to a maintenance pace.

Key takeaways for Todoist: To Do List & Calendar
Where is it heading?
Productivity tools are consolidating around unified calendar-task interfaces, and Todoist's maintenance-mode cadence leaves it exposed to rivals shipping integrated time-blocking features. The PM must prioritize UX stability to prevent churn of the core professional segment.
- UI regressions in the latest update erode the daily active habit, which compounds the rating drag already visible on Android.
- The lack of native calendar integration hinders scheduling, pushing power users toward competitors that offer unified time-blocking.
The SWOT
- Natural language processing reduces task creation friction
- Cross-platform sync expands engagement window
- Native iPhone calendar integration would address top user request

Integrated calendar-task time blocking (available in Any.do but absent here)
Since the last report: Development velocity has slowed to a maintenance pace, marked by a six-month gap in major releases and the emergence of critical navigation and synchronization regressions. This shift leaves the app vulnerable to competitors offering integrated calendar-task workflows.
Bottom line
Restoring navigation fluidity and shipping native calendar integration would stabilize the core professional user base. These moves would directly counter the friction driving users toward integrated calendar-task rivals.
