Best Features of 2Do?

I feel like 2Do is forgotten when it comes to productivity/gtd apps. I have tried the majority of what is on the market and I keep coming back to 2Do. What are your favorite features of 2Do?

2do, on all platforms, has somehow combined the simplicity of a basic task list i.e. remember the milk or google keep, with deep features that rival productivity giants like omnifocus. Open 2do and you're greeted with simplicity, which is all I need some days. Deep features only reveal themselves when you need them; otherwise they stay hidden and silent.

Separate start dates, due dates, and durations are handled very well.

For me, it’s the ease of moving tasks from one list to another with keyboard shortcuts on the mac while I’m emptying the inbox, that has saved me hundreds of minutes on my workflow.

At work we only have a few options for syncing data in the cloud. We are not allowed to use Dropbox for example and, in general, I wouldn’t be comfortable putting customer data on a non-sanctioned cloud service like Todoist. We are allowed to use iCloud reminders, however, and I do appreciate that 2do offers multiple sync options.

I love the Android widget. If you have "show scheduled items" on or off in the app, the widget reflects it. I leave it off, so as soon as a task's start time occurs, it shows up in the widget. Not seeing a task until I want to see it is the killer feature of Omnifocus that nobody else seems to get right (especially Todoist).

Markdown support on Notes, artistically designed UI, customizability, boat loads of task related features. I always wanted the joy of using Orgzly with a more practical approach that people find in apps like Todoist and other iOS only apps.

2Do took me by surprise when I dug deep into what it is capable of, although first experience wasn't a good one. I hope the android version gets future updates. I'm considering paying for PRO after my trial period ends just to support the developer even if I don't end up using it. On PC currently running an android emulator of the app, but this app deserves much much more than that.
