Checklist+ To Do Tasks & Lists

I like the simplicity of the program, and how it works in general. However, there are a couple of issues. I used this program to do grocery shopping. In so doing, I would unlock the phone, look at the list of items I wanted, check off an item based on where I was in the store, then lock the screen so I wouldn’t change things when the phone was in the holster. Every time I turn the screen back on to look for the next item, a advertisement would fill the screen that I had to turn off before I could look at the next item. This is in addition to the banner advertisement that was running all the time. I can except the banner advertisement all the time, but the fullscreen intrusive banner every single time I unlock the screen is too much. The second issue, and probably more important, is that I had created a list, checked an item off in the list, then as I try to add items to the list the program would not let me. I would click the plus button to add an item to the list, and in less than two seconds the line for the new list item would disappear. Trying to be very fast, I begin typing I had about two seconds worth of typing before the list item shut itself off and I had to edit it to finish. It took forever it’s just to put the word “bread” in.

Since the Amazinglist app I was using before was made obsolete due to Apple constantly updating IOS & the Amazinglist developers weren't updating it to keep up with the new IOS I had to look elsewhere for a new checklist app. This is a neat well displayed & pretty functional checklist app that works well with latest IOS. Been looking everywhere on the Appstore for a simple checklist app compatible with the newest IOS. I actually like it better than Amazinglist. The ads were so annoying I ended up caving & payed the $1.99 to remove them though. It does make the app so much better though. No AdChoices banner ad taking up the lower portion of the screen & no more popup ads that block me from using the app entirely forcing me to reset it. But thats how they get you. Better than using paper IMO.

This app does exactly what it should in a very easy to use way. Intuitive interface that does not make you have to press multiple keys to do simple inserts, edits, etc. I use it to keep track of various coin collections and other other projects. Also use it as a quick list for daily chores or shopping trips. I've tried many list apps and this is by far the simplest yet most complete for straightforward checklist usage. Know what you have or need with a quick look. Doesn't need to use all the bells and whistles that make other apps overkill. It may even have more features that I haven't explored, but I don't need them. Works fine with free version, but well worth the small price to upgrade to ad-free version. Hope this app stays true to its elegant current implementation! Kudos to the developer.

This is a very nice app that does what it says and does so well. Make lists. Check off items. The app looks good and is easy to use. However, there are dozens of apps that also do what this one says and do so well. There’s not much to make this stand out. For me, a standout list app would have: An Apple Watch app - Checking things off is the thing I do most. Why take out my phone just to tap when I could just flick my wrist and it’s done? A desktop app - Entering tasks is the thing I do next most often. That means typing, and that’s just easier when I’m at a full keyboard. It’s also more convenient if I’m at my desktop or laptop and to just switch to an app there instead of finding my phone. IFTTT integration - Even easier than typing at a keyboard is not typing at all. IFTTT integration would let me add items just by telling Siri or Alexa. This can happen with either direct integration or the ability to sync with Apple Reminders. As it stands now, it’s a solid 3-star app. Hopefully my two bucks will encourage further development towards five stars. Otherwise, I’ve wasted more dough on worse apps, so it’s no real loss.

The minimalism is very pleasant, but the app is limited in that it becomes overwhelming with multiple lists. I have a hectic life and many tasks. The scope of these tests very from school, to internship search, to healthcare concerns, and a shopping list - just to name a few. That being said, I only tried the free version, which I found annoying because each time you tab and add pops up and ads are at the top of the screen near where you tap making this experience a bit frustrating. Being vexed with ads doesn’t make me want to try the paid version. Typically, features that make my life easier make me desire to purchase the paid version. I will not be buying the upgraded version and will still be seeking another app.
