Helpful
This app is so helpful for when you lose track of so many things. When I was packing for a vacation, this made me not forget anything.
Why are there ads for this?
Cannot even add a note to my list without an ad popping up. Ridiculous.
More options
Wish there were a few more options such as automatically showing the date an item is completed
Look I’ll I’m
🌭😙 😬😬🦍🦍🦬🍾
Ganz gut, …
für einfache Listen echt sehr gut zu nutzen. Aber viele Aufgaben bedürfen einer Wiederholung. Das muss unbedingt implementiert werden. Dann gerne 5 Sterne.
Great Details!
I love being able to change the font, the colors on my lists, so much is customizable!
Don’t waste your time
You can’t add to your grocery list unless you watch an advertisement between each item that you put on your list. It’s easier for me to go back to pen and paper. I’ve used this app for years. It’s now garbage.
Very glitchy!
I like the way it’s set up but it’s very very glitchy. Every time I use it there’s some glitch or another. There are 3 that i come across routinely: 1. When sorting one of my lists manually and it kicks me out of the app. Every time i go back, I find the list again sort the next list item only to get kicked out again, so if my list has 10 items I get kicked out 10 times until I finish sorting them. 2. I click on a list and it appears to be “empty”. I have to go back and click it again to see my listed items 3. When adding a new item to a list it randomly disappears and reappears when u reopen the list If it weren’t for the annoying glitches this app would be great 🤷🏽♀️
Whah happen?
Not liking the new look. Cannot change font size. Less features I think. Phone app OK. Can I pay to get old format back?
Difficolta nella condivisione
Bella app. Il problema e nella condivisione spesso nonostante venga accettato non inserisce il nuovo “do”
Great app!
It is very useful for me to use instead of notes so I can decorate my lists. I love it so much!
I'm out
So it's too bad that they store files in root iCloud. Deleted. This is the best list maker I've found that also goes to my watch. I can sort checked to the bottom and I can add colors to notes. There is a lot more, I'm learning, but trust me, well worth a few bucks, even if you have another notes App this one works so well for lists! TY
Make A List Improvements
I’ve used this app for a couple of years now. It started to get wonky, e.g. “forgetting” items I put on the list, as well as other bugs and problems. They have reworked the entire app with a new look and many improvements. Thank you! Glad I hung in there. Couple of important notes: it would be nice if the app could remember items so you don’t have to retype everything. Also, app always thinks I have already put something on the list when I haven’t. It’s recognizing a word that is on the list but there is additional input for the item and the app doesn’t recognize that.
Buggy
I like many aspects of this app, but it’s incredibly buggy. You have to force close & reopen to view new entries as they just disappear. It’s also near impossible to reorder your lists. The option exists, it just never works.
Great but then…
Great app, works well, but then says continue with ads for free or pay. I continue with ads, agree to it then it asks the same question again, over and over. Therefore my choice becomes pay or don’t use it. Uninstalled.
Great app
This is the best app ever it gives you a pic for each item it lets you check off what you do it helps me so so much
Email to you
I sent you email last Friday and wait for your answer and help me????? Let me know Thanks!!! Good Night!!!
Not bad! Not bad at all!
I've got to give the makers of this app credit. Right at the outset (after you first start the application), they come right out, and let the user know that the way they're able to keep this application free ( and I DONT mean 'freemium', I mean F-R-E-E) is they show you ads. They're VERY unobtrusive (they're at the bottom-most part of the page). As I've said in the other applications I've ever left a review for, I've been using (Mac) computers since the 80s, & I'm quite tech savvy. Like many, I dislike reading instructions (ESP in 'Apple land'!), and the thing about Macs , & good software, such as this, is that itshould be intuitive. It should only be AFTER initially using something, that I'll read instructions to get a better understanding of WHY something happened. That's how I taught myself Macs - both System 7, and then after the evolving into Unix/OS In a word, this list-making app is simple, elegant, and beautiful.
Same problems
I continue to have problems with items deleting themselves. Not just checking off, but ceasing to exist. I’ve watched it happen multiple times. Sometimes things reappear and sometimes they don’t. I made a new list yesterday, added 15-20 things to it. Today there were two lists w that title, one w no items, one that was (probably) as I left it. Foolishly, I deleted the empty list. I watched the home screen as one by one things from the real list went away. 3 things are left. Infuriating
List workings
The only problem I am having is that as I am making a list, for no reason items just disappear off the list
Excellent app
More development
Fail
I was so exited to get this app. The reviews looked good so I decided to download. I went into the app and made a list, I exited out the list was deleted. I thought it might just be a one time thing so I tried again, but unfortunately again it delated. I really liked the design of the app but the lists kept getting lost!
Make a list app.
Hi I like this simple app. How do you delete a list, or move a task between lists? Another feature that would be great is to be able to have sub tasks. Is that possible?
No easy entry
I don’t get why no notes apps let you use a shortcut like tab or enter to rapid fire add items to a list. Deleting it now
Aiuto
Mi sembra un app ben pensata e sviluppata peró non riesco a condividere le liste e mi dispiace perché ha tutto quello che cercavo e non vorrei cancellarla!!
My favorite list taking app, but just a few tweaks?
5 stars because I am honestly very particular about note taking apps and this one is the most satisfying to use out of all the ones I've tried. I just love the look of it and the way information is organized. Very straight-forward and easy to read especially with the outlined boxes, variety in font, and color-coding, unlike "sleek & minimalistic" list apps that make it harder due to the monotony. Got the ad-free version because I figured It'd be worth using longterm. I am very thankful for this app. Bug I have been experiencing: Whenever I make a new list, for some reason the app duplicates the list as an empty list. Had to be careful about deleting the duplicate, because once it deleted the original and I don't know why. General app suggestion: I don't use the web recommendation setting, but have to turn it off for every new list I make. It would be less frustrating if there was a more general setting I could turn off for all future notes. I'd also like to turn off how adding commas creates a new list item. Cheers!
Randomly deletes list items
Have been using this for a while and recently items have been deleting from my list. The whole point of the app is to help remember things so I can no longer use this app.
Okay
Good but I don’t like the ads
Drops list items at will.
Drops list items ….. Very frustrating. If luck, will reappear some time in the future
transfer
The program does not always transfer to my phone app. WHY??
Best app ever
I swear it’s such a Best app what you have to do and if you just forget it, I can just open the app. It’s the best it changed my life.
Ridiculously lacking intuitive interface
The way it was designed makes it a puzzle .
Super!
C’est génial et fait ce qui est supposer de faire simplement dommage qu’on ne puissent pas écrire ni a la main ni avec l’Apple pencil
Stuff randomly deletes
This app is good, but many times i have returned to my to-do list with many of the items deleted. This becomes very annoying when I can’t remember what I wrote. Please, if you use this, have a backup list. (And prepare for large amounts of frustration =)
Great at first
This app was great at first but now crashes almost every time I search for an icon. Fix this, app is 5 star!
Read this!!!
OMG 😱 this is such a great app, it is amazing. I use it all the time . There are no ads, not subscriptions it’s all free and easy. Making the lists is really fun. There is nothing wrong with this app
Doesn’t work on Apple Watch anymore
Can’t figure out why. The app is there and upsated, I see the app name on top and a black screen. I loved that app :(
Cette app est presque parfaite.
Peut-on permettre à une autre personne de modifier une liste et voir les modifications en temps réel comme le peux le faire avec une application qui s’appelle « Bring)
Upset with this app
I love this app until today when I am having 10 people to my house for 5 days and need to stay organized! When I opened the app this morning to get my shopping list, all I got was some sort of video game that I couldn’t X out—I tried everything to close it out to no avail😳this keeps happening to me every day now. I needed a list that I prepared and I needed it on the road when I was out of the office. Just kept getting video games—so frustrating 😡I tried to find a paid upgrade to rid the videos. Cannot find one—unfortunately I will have to find another list app to use🥲
Couleur
Le choix des couleurs est trop restreint.
Wow
I needed an easy list organizer and did not want to pay lots of money. Well I found it and $2.99 to remove ads. Syncs to my iPad and iPhone so nicely. Huge THANKS to the developer for making a very nice List app that I understand as an older person.
Worst app
When I write something down, it just deletes it. Garbage
Bouger élément de la liste en cours
Bonjour, Depuis la nouvelle version, je ne suis plus capable de déplacer un élément de ma liste, de le déplacer plus haut ou plus bas dans le même liste. La fonction s’active, mais ne fonctionne pas.
Doesn’t sync
I got this and put on iPad and iPhone and my iCloud is set to sync app BUT it’s not doing it The reason I wanted this app was it will alphabetize things in a list I make / but useless if I can’t get the same info when adding on one device to go to the other
Excellent
I'm glad to have found this app. I have a penchant for lists as a way of keeping organized and ensuring nothing is forgotten. I have seen this app listed in my searches for a preferred list but thought it was just another average list maker. Now, having used this for a couple of weeks, I discover that it is superior to all others I have tried — and there have been many. I am migrating my other lists to this one, over time, and eliminating the others. I find this fast, efficient and comprehensive. I am using this for just about everything that comes to mind that I want to follow up on or be reminded of. I am very visual so I find the ability to add photos and, best of all, the ability to add icons to each list item. Other lists offer a limited choice of icons, but this app gives me choices, through its custom search on Pixabay, that are far beyond what others offer. Wish list: 1. Ability to add alarms
Bummer for Apple Watch SE
Title says it all. It’s supposed to sync between Mac, iPhone and Apple Watch. It does between Mac and phone, but not on Apple Watch. While app shows up on watch, when I open app, it won’t do anything! Deleting this baby and moving on.
Problème avec l’agrandissement des photos
Depuis quelques mois, je n’arrive plus à ouvrir/agrandir les photos que j’ai jointes à mes items sur les listes. Je trouve la fonction d’ajout de photos très intéressante et importante car elle me permet de trouver plus facilement un produit et souvent de la faire voir à un employé de magasin afin de savoir s’ils ont ce produit. Pouvez-vous m’aider à rétablir cette fonction.
Make A List
App seems to work well - unfortunately there’s all kinds of unwanted advertisement at the bottom of the app. I paid for app and shouldn’t be subjected to unwanted advertisement.
