Perfect if you just need a list that you can build check off as you go. Please don’t change. ### 5/5 — Perfection *2018-04-28, version 3.1* So simple don’t elaborate. ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-05-01, version 3.0* Simple and works just like expected. You can create lists with items. Renaming the default list works well (just click on the name when you are in the list). Free, no ads! Well done! ### 4/5 — Good.. *2016-02-22, version 3.0* I can't figure out how to rename the list. ### 5/5 — Simplistic *2015-10-28* This is the most simple, easy to use checklist if that's what you're looking for. You don't need to be a rocket scientist any more. Move items around. Swipe to delete and tick off. What more do you want😀 ### 4/5 — Almost exactly what I was looking for *2014-08-10, version 2.0* Basic, simple, does the job. Only limitation is that you can only create a checklist for one subject at a time. ### 5/5 — Excellent listmaking app! *2014-07-13, version 2.0* Needed a no-nonsense list making app - and i finally found it! Short, sweet and to the point...add a task, checkmark when finished. Created a vacation packing list - SO EASY! 5 stars ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2014-05-10, version 2.0* Totally basic and I love it!!' No ads, very pleased... Has 5 choices and found no bugs. ### 4/5 — Buggy *2014-05-01, version 2.0* Buggy & needs an update. But a very good app. ### 4/5 — Simple, but good *2013-09-05, version 1.0* Helpful app. serves purpose well. No features or extras, very simple. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Another Lazy Developer *2023-09-11, version 3.2.0* If you expect ONE thing from a list app is to REARRANGE. Well, this app cant do that. @DeveloperWannaBe : Change what you do, development is not your thing. ### 1/5 — Crap *2017-05-24, version 3.0* It is crap not easy to use at all ### 1/5 — Another amateur app *2016-03-19, version 3.0* I didn't get far. Couldn't add a list or rename the default list. No help, user community or tutorial. Only email support. If Mr. Carter is a professional programmer, I hope he does better work on the job. I certainly wouldn't have passed the testing on this app. ### 2/5 — task is not deleting *2015-01-05, version 2.0* right to left drag does not delete ### 3/5 — How to edit list name? *2024-10-23, version 3.2.0* This is what I have been waiting for. But I can’t find how to edit the list names. They are automatically set to list1, list2, etc. But in the preview picture it seems to indicate that the names can be customized to something like “groceries”. ### 4/5 — Very useful *2021-09-20, version 3.1.1* I love this app I use it for a lot of tasks that I have pending the only thing I wish could be integrated into the app is to be able to attach an image or images ### 4/5 — Ios14 broke this app *2020-10-21, version 3.1.1* I love this app, but it no longer works properly on my older iPhone SE after upgrading to ios14. When it flip from portrait to landscape, then back to portrait mode the directory of lists won’t get out of the way to see the list I want. I have to swipe close and reopen to fix. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect! *2020-09-25, version 3.1.1* If i could sort my custom checklists my “unchecked” and “checked”, as well as alphabetically-it would be absolutely the best checklist I have ever used. No strings attached-just what I need for daily use! ### 4/5 — Very decent! Easy to use! *2017-03-30, version 3.0* I'm very happy it's free from ads, thank you! A couple suggestions: allowing an option of a functionality of reminders on a set time with badges, so you know that you completed some without having to open the app if necessary. Also, perhaps optional color schemes and more of a written penmanship font would look wicked. I was looking everywhere for something like this. :) ### 4/5 — Does It's Job... *2016-09-05, version 3.0* It is was it says it is - a basic checklist. This app is for those who don't want or need all the bells and whistles like recurring items, reminders, sharing,etc. It has the advantage of having multiple lists so you can compartmentalize your tasks, which is a plus. I only wish I could move unfinished items easily to a new list since I like to start each day with a fresh "page". ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Completely Stress Free! *2026-03-14, version 3.2.0* Best checklist ever! I re-download every time I have a few things to get done. It doesn’t overstimulate me with tons of colours and different sections. It’s just for one thing and one thing only. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Simple *2025-04-20, version 3.2.0* Love the app. Super easy and fun to use. No need to pay. Easy and designed well. PLEASE DOWNLOAD! ### 5/5 — Basic, Simple, works! *2025-01-25, version 3.2.0* This is a great, simple app! Allows multiple lists; allows editing the order easily; allows reordering tasks in the list; checked items move to bottom; easily edit task or list names/text. I use it to keep a list of gift ideas for members of family and extended family. Awesome! Awesome! ### 5/5 — Great minimalist app! *2024-11-16, version 3.2.0* Have 7 things to do today? Want a list for work and a list for home? This is it. Works great. Rock solid. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Simple easy *2024-06-19, version 3.2.0* Simple checklist. Works great for my travel packing. ### 5/5 — 5 star by college student *2024-06-14, version 3.2.0* The best checklist app— does exactly what it says, no fancy bits and pieces to make it complicated. As a college student with 2 full-time jobs, I just need something simple and easy to use. Definitely a five star for me. ### 5/5 — BENEFICIAL APP MASALLAH *2023-05-16, version 3.2.0* Interface is quite nice and simple , Easy to use thanks for this app ### 5/5 — Simple & Fantastic *2022-01-21, version 3.2.0* I just started using this app a couple weeks ago, and I love it! I’ve been searching for one that I can use for making basic lists without having to go through a bunch of menus & categories every time I need to add an item. Days are busy, basic is good. I love how it clearly checks items off without completely deleting them until you choose to do so. Hoping this app will be around for a long time! ### 5/5 — Great for multiple simple lists *2021-10-22, version 3.2.0* This app does everything I need it to do in a clean and simple interface. Check/Uncheck and now with the option to clear all at once. Bravo on not complicating a simple task. ### 5/5 — Perfect ! *2019-10-09, version 3.1.1* This is absolutely perfect. Thank you. Please keep this app on the store. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
