Middle of the road
Very ordinary list maker, nowhere near as configurable or powerful as ListMonger or my all-time favorite, List Master. Not that it's bad, but there are several much better options.PakWaan
Superb
Brilliant! Exactly what I was looking for. I've created perfect databases for my Reading journal, gift lists, meal planner... Loads. I love it. Thank you!The Book Fairy
VERY GOOD - NEEDS MINOR TUNE-UP
The good stuff is ... it does a lot and it does it very easily, the editing functions are simple to use and allow a lot of flexibility, somewhat more user oriented than some others I have used. There are other lists for a good price if you need a lot of bells and whistles to go with your lists, which I don't. I have 4 complaints, (1) there is one too many steps to enter an item in a list, that is ... after you enter the name of an item on a list, you must press the SAVE option twice (once should be enough), (2) there is no landscape mode, (3) The keyboard doesn't default to "first capitals letter on" as it is standard in most all iPhone applications, so if you want to capitalize the first letter, you need one more key press and (4) there is no security if you want to make a list of your passwords or credit cards info., etc. - I would give it five stars if these things were available or corrected.Show lessRF9Me
Awesomely Simple App
As a somewhat amotivational person, I use betterlists daily. The developer has continued to improve and add features, which I appreciate greatly.
The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the ability to possibly use landscape view to see all fields.
Thank you so much Haspel Software, you've helped me accomplish more than I thought possible!Show lessaprillives
Pretty Good
This is one of the better list apps that I tried. The only suggestion I have is to have the ability to delete individual items on a certain list instead of having to delete the whole thing. Other than that it's great.Loosefanbelt
Difficult to use
I was trying to make my lists in outline form -- categories then tasks within. Couldn't figure it out. Too bad, too.Other folks seem to really like it.kheifert1
Excellent customizability; all requests met
Update: I cannot increase my rating, since I have already given it five stars. The developer has responded to all my requests and implicit wishes: there is now a clear check box in front of an item (so a person knows where to touch to "check-off" an item). (You may have to turn on the setting in prefs.) Most importantly, the developer has made the ordering of both the top list, and all items on a list, to be customizable. So you can determine which items on a long list are more important. (Simply click the "Edit" button, and move the "stripe" icon on the right-hand side.) If you are looking for a good general, yet customizable, List app, I strongly urge you to take a careful look at BetterLists. ++++++ [Original Review] [old info deleted] The key ability of this app is the ability to customize the fields of any given list. Say, e.g., on a grocery list, you can have a field for size of the item and quantity. A contact list can have a field for phone number, etc. One field you can add a field for longer notes. [old info deleted] Now my standard list app.Show lesspeasant
Best list keeper out there
This program is just great. I am using it now for a couple of weeks and it does everything i ever wanted. It keeps my todo lists. it keeps my info i want to store it just makes my life a lot easier now i have the perfect list on my iphone. One things bugs me and that is why it didn't get the last star. You need to hit save to save your input and i forget that once in a while and then everything i just typed is gone. Also you can delete you lists easy if you don't pay attention. it would be nice if it would ask if you are sure. Go test this program i am sure you will be and for this price you can't go wrong.Show lesscoolusbtoys
- I ended up with this program after trying many others. The ability to check OR delete items makes it the best. When I had trouble checking items the service I got was above and beyond! Great app great company! Only request would be the ability to drag items up and down list.

are you kidding?
I read the other reviews and downloaded this. I can't believe we are reviewing the same app. It takes far too many clicks to add an item, additional fields that are added (like 'quantity' for a shopping list) do not show up in the list view. So you have to open each item in the list to see if any other information is there, making fields nearly useless. When I clicked on options from the 'add item' view the app crashed. I can't imagine taking the time to create a list in this program over jotting it down in notepad. It would be great to be able to check things off but it's not worth the effort.Show lessgabi.k
