Being able to access the tasks you created elsewhere is useful, as is syncing your changes back to the inbox.

Instead, what makes the app worthwhile is its integration with the other Google services you use, like Gmail and Calendar. On its own, none of what Google Tasks offers is that remarkable. That’s not going to work for everyone, though - some people will want to configure things more precisely. The app keeps things simple by not allowing you to set a time to be reminded - just a date. The drag-and-drop interface lets you prioritize your tasks, and you can set a “due date” for reminders on those you don’t want to forget. You can create and manage your task list in the app, and break down tasks into subtasks. The app itself is a fairly standard take on to-do lists. After all, to-dos aren’t something you only access or think about while in your inbox.

With the influx of new users coming from Gmail, it makes sense to create a dedicated Google Tasks app, as well. With the revamp, however, Tasks gets a bigger billing - it, along with Google Keep notes and Google Calendar, can be popped up right in Gmail’s sidebar with just a click. While Gmail had before supported task creation, it was more buried in its user interface. The app, as the name implies, offers you a dedicated place to create, view and edit your task list and to-dos, including those created from within the new Gmail or from Google Calendar. Along with today’s big reveal of the redesigned version of Gmail, Google also more quietly introduced a new app that ties into its suite of productivity applications: Google Tasks.
