### 2/5 — Probably will delete & never use again

*2024-01-15*

Like all apps, they’re always after your money & long term users or not protected either. I’ve recently gotten my phone stolen & credit ravaged so I’m not joyful. I bought this app in Jan 2019 for $0.99 & still have it on my iPad with unlimited use. My replacement iPhone now has this app which I recently had to download again & now refuses to restore, instead check check wants me to spend $4.99 & not sure why. I will not buy twice, I’ve encountered this is the new way of life. Apps you like will all be memberships for monthly, yearly, etc. if you wish to keep using them & the ones that don’t follow method this will soon be obsolete & you’ll be forced to change anyway. Overall app was not bad but the fact of this matter is, I refuse to pay twice.

### 4/5 — Gah

*2023-03-16, version 3.7.2*

Love the app! 
Maybe add more colours…also I’d prefer to have more of a variety in sizes of and types of box to check so I can separate the different subjects/reminders into subsections and topics. 
Overall, it really motivates me to revise as I can visually see what I’ve done and how much more till I’ve completed the task!

### 2/5 — It’s nice but…

*2022-06-27*

It’s really nice I like how you can personalize it and stuff but I think 3 lists is way too little for the free version and $5 is way too much to get the unlimited version like maybe $2-$3 yea but $5 is just too much when you can get a different app for free and have as many lists as you want other than those two things it’s nice.

### 4/5 — So simple and intuitive

*2022-03-30*

Works much better for checklists than the overdesigned to-do list managers. Perfect for daily “don’t forget” checklists, such as packing work or gym bag. This would be 5-stars if there were widgets and grouping features. But it’s still well worth the price.

### 2/5 — Paid app

*2022-02-20, version 3.7.2*

Paid for the full version years ago. Not available now without paying again. Loved the app, but not paying for the full version twice. Will update my review when I hear back from the email I sent asking about it.

### 2/5 — Fine app but....

*2021-01-18, version 3.7.1*

Upgrade is too expensive.  Was looking for a simple checklist app and this fits the Bill.  Except in free version only get 3 lists with 10 items each.  Upgrade is $14.99.  Too simple for that expensive an upgrade.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2019-08-28, version 3.3.3*

This is an awesome app.  I use it daily to keep myself organized.  In a recent update, there was a small glitch with deleting items.  I messaged the developer and it was fixed within a day.  Great app and great developer!

### 3/5 — The new version is not stable

*2019-08-27*

The new version of this app is not stable. I tried to edit an item, and the list shut down immediately without any reason.
It used to be good... not sure if the provider can fix the problem.

**Developer response:** Hi Jessica, this has been fixed and a new version is available.

### 2/5 — Keeps crashing

*2019-08-25*

This was an ok app and helped with creating “to do” lists, but every time I tried to delete my list the app would crash. Everything is updated on my XR and the app had an update 3 days ago so I don’t know what the issue is. Unfortunately I’ll have to use the Reminders app until I find something better.

**Developer response:** Thanks for reporting this. The crash you're referring to was fixed within a day. The latest update is available on the App Store now.

### 5/5 — Helps us stay on top of multiple tasks!

*2019-06-22*

My wife and I  use the app as a reminder style checklist between the two of us as we both have EXTREMELY busy schedules. I will send her all requests of the day (additions to grocery list, etc) or throughout the whole of the day. She does the same. And that is only 2 lists- I have my personal list, there’s her personal list, and then there’s the list of things to accomplish together. No more forgetting more than things than we actually accomplish!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Trash

*2024-05-13, version 3.7.2*

Cost money

### 1/5 — Very poor app

*2023-09-25, version 3.7.2*

Ugly UI, clearly a money grab. Total screw over. Poorly developed. Possibly one of the worst checklist apps I’ve ever used

### 1/5 — Limited functionality

*2022-06-24, version 3.7.2*

Only lets you create lists with 10 items max. It should be upfront about this but it is not.

### 1/5 — Suddenly won't open

*2022-02-16, version 3.7.2*

I've used this app for years without any issues but now it won't open all of a sudden. Looks like it's opening then quickly goes blank and shuts down

### 1/5 — Money grabbing...

*2021-06-03, version 3.7.2*

£5 to create a list over 10 items long. What a shame an app I’ve been using for years has just got greedy

### 1/5 — Great app - can’t BUY support...

*2019-09-01*

I’ve used this app for ~1 year and it’s worked great - until now.  I got a new iPhone 8 from my employer and restored the profile from a back up like I’ve done quite a few times in the past.  This time, however, when I try to log into my Check Check account, via Facebook, I get an error message that the app is still in development mode and I don’t have the right permissions.  WHAT?!   

I’ve tried, for over a week, to get somebody to help but none of the 3 emails I’ve sent have been answered.  IF I can ever get this issues resolved and Check Check back to functional on my phone, then my review rating will go up to 5-stars.  It’s that good of an app - when it works.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2019-08-05*

It won’t let me sign in I want to use the app signed up with an e mail and I put it in and it says sign in with Facebook since you already have an account I try and do that and Facebook says the app is in development mode and ask admin to give me permission?

### 1/5 — Ouvrir

*2019-07-28, version 3.2.0*

Keeping asking to go back on apps store each time!

### 1/5 — worst checklist app

*2019-04-10, version 3.1.4*

every time my phone battery died the check lists get erased this app is terrible you can make better ones using apple notes

### 1/5 — Nope

*2019-04-06, version 3.1.3*

Downloaded, opened it, selected color, won’t let me make a list, deleted 
(iPhone 7plus with latest OS)

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Love It

*2023-12-11, version 3.7.2*

Simple and easy to use. 
Much better than a Notes checklist.
Syncs with phone, iPad, etc. 
A valuable productivity tool.

### 5/5 — It’s kept me busy

*2023-08-23, version 3.7.2*

Check check is so good for keeping your place tidy it’s completely free and I completely recommend it helps me keep track of keeping my room tidy so this app is a miracle highly recommended 🩷🩷

### 5/5 — Great for Travel

*2023-08-22*

Love this app. I’ve been using it for several years. It is reliable and helps me to remember to pack all the essentials for overnight to international travel.  I wish there was a search function.  I have several lists; travel reminders, travel suitcase, travel carry-on, etc.  This helps me to organize and pack efficiently.  Occasionally, I place an item in the wrong list or have duplicates.  A search function would aid in maintaining the lists.

Love this app.  I’ve been using it for several years.  It helps me to remember to pack all the essentials for overnight to international travel.

### 5/5 — Love this App!

*2022-08-14*

So easy to use and intuitive! Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2022-08-05, version 3.7.2*

Nice and simple and makes you organised

### 5/5 — Great for keeping on track

*2022-02-12*

This is one of my favorite apps! You can check things off and uncheck if you need the list over and over, add things, delete things, rearrange them, keep the lists for as long as you want and stay on top of things without a pen and paper. If you need to juggle a lot of things, I would highly recommend this app.

### 5/5 — Perfect for camping

*2020-11-01, version 3.7.1*

We love checkcheck as we are using it for camping and pulling our caravan. Before every journey, we complete two checklists, one for inside the caravan and one for outside. This way, we never forget to close hatches, lower parking brake, check lights, stow microwave plate etc etc. So very useful and safe. 😊

### 5/5 — It simply works!

*2020-07-18*

I have a significant number of procedures that I follow, daily. I consistently adhere to check lists to insure everything is done, in order, and distractions and other intrusions do not cause mistakes or missed steps.

This app works, it does the job very well, day after day. It is easy to use, intuitive and not complicated. It simply works!

### 5/5 — Can't use after last update

*2019-08-29*

Another update, app was quickly fixed. Even received message from developer. 

As you can see below I loved this app. New update, keeps crashing. Have to move on to something else if not fixed soon. 

App gets used all the time. It's on my wife's phone, my phone and iPad. Love the way it syncs across for easy list making. Simple easy to use. If you want an easy simple list maker this is it.

**Developer response:** Thanks for reporting this. The crash you're referring to was fixed within a day. The latest update is available on the App Store now.
