Great App! Underrated!

In general, exceeded my expectations! Very good app! It’s kinda fusion of Apple’s Reminders + Wunderlist (now MS Todo). I think this app is very underrated! Now, I see there’s no new update since a Year. I hope development still alive… Since I want to upgrade as support, but updates are needed for long term usability. Keep it up! 👍🏼

Crushing and bugs

I read the reviews others have left. Issues continue 2 years later: attachments do not appear after logging in again, frequently logged out automatically, notes appear whole not abbreviated. And by the way the web site does not have sub tasks or attachments.
And this app is out there for over 2 years??? Seriously???

App is okay but has a lot of glitches

After marking a task completed many times it would pop back up as yet to be completed. Frustrating to those who like to check things off once and for all. I have attempted to contact the developer(s) but no reply. Also, why can’t the tasks be organized chronologically? If I update a day and time for a task why can’t the software move it? Many times I would move a task and organize it chronologically only to reopen the app and have it not organized the way I had set it. There are good things about this app but the glitches have caused me lost time and I have abandoned it temporarily to see if I can find a better app.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. To quickly clean up & re-sort all to-dos within a specific list, simply open the list and shake your iPhone. This will quickly sort all list contents in the priority → due → name order.

Disappearing entries

I love the setup of the lists and the customization. I paid for the full version because I use it so much. However lately things I add to my lists disappear after I enter them and reopen the app. No it’s not user error- it’s happened far too many times. The app is becoming useless because the whole point is to help me keep track of important things. I had similar issues before and deleted the app and then decided to try it again hoping it had been fixed. Looks like I will be on the search for a new “to do” app.

Nice app but has problems

I like this app as I looks nice and is easy to use. It works well with Apple Reminders. It brings in my To-Do List from apple reminders.

Currently app is. It not synchronize data with apple reminders and getting new reminders. I wrote developers and there fix was to delete app and reinstall which I did. Unfortunately it did not make problem better.

In addition, it started duplicating whole folders of data between the iPhone and itouch apps. Then it decided to delete a reminder from the program in the middle of a shopping trip. The problem there was it was deleting the information I was looking at as I was buying birthday cards from both the program. It decided to delete thi information on its own and I did not even tell it to do it.

I have deleted program permanently from all devices until next update due to all of problems. I can’t have it adding a lot of duplicates between my iPhone and my iTouch or deleting reminders I need. I will reload next time there is an update that hopefully fixed all of these problems

Thank you for the feedback and sorry for the troubles with synchronization! Pocket Lists' team is doing its best to solve it as soon as possible and we will release an update soon!

Loved it- but for some reason it’s so glitchy now!!

New review:
I’ve been using this app forever- but I’m finally fed up with its glitching- once you check off something on a list - it removes it, but then go back into the app and it’s there again. I can’t tell you how many duplicate grocery items I’ve purchased- this is really a horrible
and useless app now- unless they find a way to get it fixed. I’ve paid twice for a ‘lifetime’ subscription now too- so annoying.

My old review:
I was switched from 1 to 2, took some getting used to, but I love it and enjoy the improvements- I can’t live without this app- keeps me organized, love emailing lists off to people as needed- use it daily and love it

Family Lists Fail to Update

The app works fine for lone use but the family lists never update. If a person adds something to a shared list, the list doesn’t update / takes an age to update on other devices. Very frustrating when you’re trying to do the shopping and it hasn’t updated!

So much potential!!

I have finally found the app I had been looking for that contains all of the items I need to live an organized life...a calendar, endless lists, reminders, etc. I have used this app for well over a year and have thoroughly enjoyed it most of the time. However, there is one issue I have and it is a very important issue; every time there is an iOS update, multiple bugs appear that inhibit any possibility of running an efficient app. So frustrating!!! It takes the developer months to fix. During this time I lose important information. As much as I don’t want to, I am forced to look for an app to replace it.

Simple. Shareable

Love the simplicity and ability to share across a family with family lifetime subscription.
It has all the important to do lists in one place.

Most Glitches Fixed & App Now Usable

Valeriya Ubinina of PocketLists addressed my recent negative review of this App. She explained the problem and informed me that they are almost finished correcting the issues. I am very happy to say that finally as of April 3, 2021 all the App user functions are seeming to work fine from my user perspective with only one exception. The ‘attachment of files’ function is still not being synched/saved. However, with the recent fixes implemented, I am confident that this will be soon fixed too. [Basically as Valeriya explained ... “starting with the November 2020 app update, several system sync-related issues emerged in the app, and there was some fundamental incompatibility with latest iOS and Realm (the database storage engine that is used in the app)... we are doing our best now to deliver the app update with the fix as soon as we can to the next level with a rock-solid foundation for data storage & syncing parts of the app.”]
