Google Tasks has been a built-in feature of Gmail for a long time. Today, Google is finally giving Tasks the attention it deserves. New standalone apps are available today for Android and iOS devices. This should make the Tasks situation a lot easier to understand.

Previously, it was difficult to find a straight-up list of all your Tasks. They can be created in several different places, but there was no centralized place to find them all. The Google Tasks app has a very simple, clean, and barebones UI. That's a good thing for a tasks app. All you need is the list of things to do and an easy way to add new items. The UI may be simple, but there's no shortage of features.
