First Impression
My old task app was a slog, so I grabbed V720 after seeing it featured. Opening it felt like walking into a disorganized room. Icons and panels were everywhere. On Tuesday morning, I was rushing to add a 9 AM meeting before a call. I tapped what I thought was the calendar, but it flung me into a weird social feed full of random posts. It took me three frustrating minutes just to find the simple “+” button to make an event. For someone who hates wasting time, that first ten minutes was a major red flag. The layout isn’t intuitive; it’s chaotic.
What It Does Well
Once you fight through the clutter, the actual reminder system is solid. I set a recurring reminder for my Friday afternoon project report, and it hasn’t failed me yet. The notification comes through on my iPhone 15 Pro with a distinct sound, and you can customize the alert timing pretty well. I also used it to track my daily goal of leaving the office by 6:30 PM. Checking that off gives a quick, satisfying haptic buzz. If the app was just this—a clean, fast task and reminder hub—it would be a winner. The bones of something useful are buried in there.
Where It Falls Short
The ambition is its biggest flaw. It’s not just an organizer; it’s also trying to be a social network and a content portal. The “Discover” tab is just a vehicle for ads. I opened it during my commute home, hoping for maybe some productivity tips, and got hit with a full-screen video ad for a mobile game before anything loaded. The social feed is a ghost town. I connected with a colleague, Sarah, and we posted a couple test updates. It felt pointless. This feature bloat makes the app feel sluggish. Switching from my task list to the calendar sometimes has a tiny but noticeable hitch, which on a phone this powerful is just annoying.
Is It Worth the Price?
It’s free, so you’re not losing money. But you are paying with your time and patience. The banner ads at the bottom of every screen are tolerable, but the intrusive video ads in the Discover section are a deal-breaker for me if I ever wanted to use that part. For a 3.3-star app, the price feels right. You get a functional, if messy, reminder tool for the cost of some visual clutter and occasional ads. I wouldn’t pay for it in its current state, but as a free option, it’s okay for bare-bones task management if you can ignore everything else.
Developer & Support
The developer is listed as Guangzhou Qiangui IoT Technology Co., which had me a bit skeptical about long-term support. I ran into a weird bug where a reminder wouldn’t sync to my iPad. I contacted support through the app on a Monday. I didn’t hear back for two days, which felt slow. When they did reply, the agent was actually helpful and walked me through a fix that worked. So, they are there and they can solve problems, but don’t expect a lightning-fast response. The app store shows regular monthly updates, mostly for “performance,” which it definitely needs.
Privacy & Safety
This gave me pause. The app requests a lot of permissions upfront—contacts, location, notifications, the works. I denied most of them, and the core task features still worked fine, which is good. The privacy policy is a dense legal document, but it clearly states they collect usage data and may share it with third-party advertisers. Given the ad-heavy nature of the app, that tracks. I’m not putting sensitive project details or personal notes in here. For basic, non-private reminders and schedules, it feels safe enough, but I wouldn’t trust it as my digital life’s command center.
How do I create a new event or task in V720?
Look for a simple '+' button, which is the main way to add events or tasks. The interface can feel cluttered, so you might miss it at first—it's not always where you'd expect. Once you find it, setting up reminders with custom alert timing works reliably.
Can I customize the notification alerts for my reminders?
Yes, V720 lets you customize alert timing and uses a distinct notification sound on devices like the iPhone 15 Pro. You can set recurring reminders, like a weekly project report, and the app delivers them consistently. The haptic feedback when checking off a goal is also a nice touch.
Why does V720 feel slow or laggy when I switch between sections?
The app's feature bloat—mixing a task manager with a social feed and content portal—can cause small hitches when switching from your task list to the calendar. This is especially noticeable on powerful phones and stems from trying to do too much at once. Sticking to the core reminder features may help reduce frustration.
How can I avoid the annoying ads and the social feed in V720?
Unfortunately, there's no way to fully bypass the 'Discover' tab, which loads full-screen video ads for games before any useful content. The social feed is largely empty, so you can ignore it, but the ads are baked into the free experience. Your best bet is to focus solely on the task and reminder sections and avoid tapping the social or discover tabs.
How does V720 compare to a simpler task app like Todoist?
V720 is free but cluttered, trying to be a social network and content portal on top of a task manager, while Todoist is focused purely on organization with a clean interface. V720's reminder system is solid once you find it, but Todoist offers a more intuitive layout without the sluggishness from feature bloat. If you value speed and simplicity, Todoist is a better choice despite its premium cost.
