When we hit 5000 Likes on our Facebook page, we ran a giveaway and asked our users one simple question: “What is the one thing you love most about Astrid?”
We received so many entries that we decided to give away three yearly subscriptions of Astrid Premium instead of just one. Here are excerpts from some of our favorite entries (emphasis ours):
“You organize my life, literally. Without you I would get exactly nothing done. The only way you could do more for me right now is if you could actually complete tasks for me.”
“It’s managed to completely change me – I used to be a disorganised mess, now I know WHAT needs doing, WHEN it needs doing and WHERE it needs doing! Don’t think I could manage without my beloved Astrid!”
“It’s an easy and fun way to GET – THINGS – DONE. As a student with a lot of projects on my hands, Astrid is the one difference between ‘getting stuck on Reddit for an entire day and then collapsing from stress at 3 am’ and ‘getting stuff done in a timely manner’. You guys have really changed the way I go about with my days!”
“Silly as it sounds coming from a grown woman – grandmother of ten! – I find that I really do respond to Astrid’s little encouraging comments and am less likely to “snooze” my tasks away than I used to pre-Astrid.”
“Since I’ve been using Astrid, my Friday weekly review and the tasks in the week ahead aren’t a chore anymore. It’s easy to do, I don’t procrastinate and even though I still have this strange system of Pen&Paper, Astrid, Evernote for my daily routine, Astrid is the one element that ties it all together and makes me do things and makes me feel good about having done them.”
“I have a serious memory issue that is getting worse with age, it was really hard for me to memorise shopping lists, work objectives and even the time I need to take my medicine! I have been using Astrid for over a year now, and because of it, my life did not only become “possible”, but I’ve got it all into order.”
