### 2/5 — Getting buggy with each update

*2023-07-06, version v290*

Used to be a really useful app. But now the iOS version doesn’t let you add new lists. You can’t order your lists in the main menu as was possible before. There’s no help or how-to, so very frustrating.

### 4/5 — pretty good

*2023-02-18, version v280*

this is one of the few checklists i’ve seen on the app store thats not really bad, so thats good.
not perfect, though. theres probably something there that could be fixed, but i haven’t found them yet.
also, add dark mode. please. i am begging you.

### 2/5 — Deleted all items after update

*2022-07-16*

I was this app for some time and had a number of items in the list. Well, when they applied an update all my items disappeared. I contacted the developer and explained the the problem and they said they would look into the problem and get back to me. As of now, I haven’t heard one word as to why I lost all of my items after the update. Because of the lack of response and the indifference in attitude I’m deleting this app and using another task app. When you add items they should preserve what has been added during the update. There are may tasks apps and I’m going to use another.

### 3/5 — I did love it!

*2022-06-10*

I have loved this App for the 2 years I’ve had it. I used it for everything!! Then last week I opened it to add something to a list I had for vacation and all my lists were GONE!! No warning or anything. I’m so mad I can’t retrieve any of the lists I’ve made.

### 2/5 — Your update just deleted all most old checklists

*2022-06-09*

I was using your app to help run a small business. Looks like you pushed an update that now requires users to be logged in. I don’t think your previous version even required users to log in. Anyways, after the update I was forced to create an account and now all my lists have disappeared. Horrible.

### 1/5 — Missing Checklist

*2022-06-05, version v80*

I’ve been using checklist for close to a year.  I went to use one f mine and all of my checklists are gone and it reset my password.  I’m not really happy about it and can’t find out how to retrieve them.

### 1/5 — Lost all my info

*2022-06-05, version v80*

After the update, all of my lists are completely gone. This is the second time that has happened to me with this app and it’s so hard to rebuild. I relied on this for my bills and when they were due and now I’ve lost all of it. Very upset.

### 1/5 — Not worth the time!

*2021-11-25, version 2.9*

I downloaded this app at noon today, it is now after 7:00 and I STILL have NOT received ANY email for confirmation!

### 1/5 — Immediately Deleted

*2021-10-03, version 2.9*

Looked like a great tool. After a lengthy sign-up process, which took me to their home page. I could not get the app to sign-in on my phone.

What I saw of the sample events lists this would have been perfect for me, but sadly the app does not work with my iPhone.

### 1/5 — New app

*2021-10-01, version 2.9*

Used to like this. The new interface prompted me to close the previous account. Now I can’t even log in with the new credentials In the iOS and web both I can’t move tasks to other lists. Can’t attach files in iOS. Uninstalled.
Still cannot log in and developers not responding 
Don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — Catch 22

*2021-08-31, version 2.9*

Password requirements from the verification email requires a special character. The app will not accept special characters so I can’t long into the app.

### 1/5 — Won't allow me to sign in

*2021-04-19, version 2.9*

I am trying to login to the app, both with FB and Google, it won't allow either to work.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-12-08, version 2.9*

Downloaded it, created an account and password and then tried to log on.  No go, says password is invalid.  Clicked forgot password, put in email and waited.......still waiting.  Would love to try it but had to delete because it just doesn’t work right out of the gate.

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2020-12-02, version 2.9*

This app works fine on my android devices, and I can go to the web site with no problems.  But this OS version won’t let me log in. It used to work, but now it closes a few seconds after I open it. The couple times it let me type in my login, it wouldn’t take it.  Good thing I use my android most of the time, anyway.

### 1/5 — Can’t register

*2020-07-04, version 2.9*

Nor sign in with google- this is not a trusted/verified app.

### 3/5 — Almost a Perfect Checklist ... Almost

*2020-01-04, version 2.9*

As a CDL driving instructor I like to refer to checklists to make sure I cover everything with my students. The frustrating part is that almost every checklist app out there doesn’t come even close to what I need except this one. This one is okay, and I am currently using it, but I’m still seeking a better app.  PROS: Ability to do subcategories to make a complete pretrip inspection.  Ability to add notes for each item. CONS: You absolutely can NOT delete an item once you’ve created it.  At least not on IOS. In order to delete an item, you have to have access to an Android device, sign on to your account there, load the checklist, make your edits, then refresh here on IOS to see the changes.  Very annoying.  Also, I wish that item notes would wrap.  If you type in a longer note it disappears off to the right and you can’t read the entire note.  The last con is the inability to lock the checklist order.  Checking off items will toss them to the bottom of the list, defeating the purpose of a static, reusable checklist.  CONCLUSION: If the three cons I mentioned were fixed, this would be an outstanding app.  If I find an app that meets these standards, I’ll be moving on.  Three stars for now.

### 1/5 — Sync issues

*2019-10-19*

This app was amazing! But when I had to get a new phone, nothing would transfer, I re-wrote all my lists, then it would not sync to my tablet, and deleted the lists on my tablet!
The typing feature is now crappy, and does not allow editing one letter or word, everything has to be deleted and written again.
It also does not let you move items or lists.
The help center just sent me my own email back!
I deleted the app on all my devices.

### 1/5 — Update Deleted Lists

*2022-07-09, version v268*

I had several lists that I have been all disappeared since updating.  Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Deleted lists

*2022-06-15, version v258*

When the app updated ALL of my lists were deleted. I've had those lists for years with very important information on them. I used to love this app and now I'm sick.

### 1/5 — All lists were deleted

*2022-06-13, version v256*

After the update all my lists were gone. I had so much info in there. Wish there was a way to get them back, otherwise I’m switching to a different app?!

### 1/5 — New version kicked me out

*2022-06-11, version v252*

Wont let me log in with my old password and the new password says i have no lists

### 1/5 — Deleted Lists

*2022-06-09*

My app automatically updated and forced me to create an account. This account has none of the lists that I have been keeping track off for the last couple of years. Previously loved this app, hate that I can’t fully enjoy the update now that everything is gone😭

### 1/5 — New version- no warning

*2022-06-09, version v80*

An automatic update to the new version has resulted in all my checklists being deleted. I can’t say how annoying that is. Checklists that I use daily are gone. Pretty rubbish. No warning. No option to migrate old lists. Useless

### 1/5 — Lists disappeared

*2022-06-07, version v80*

I loved this app until the recent update deleted all of my lists without any warning to save those items. Thanks a lot….  I need an app that is dependable.

### 1/5 — Your update deleted my lists

*2022-06-06*

Seriously? Your update completely erased 40 critical lists. 
Buh bye. Had enough of your useless program

### 1/5 — Data Gone Without Warning

*2022-06-06, version v80*

I was extremely happy with this app until I opened it today and it was updated and all my historical data was gone. Grocery lists. Preferences. Karaoke songs. Password reminders. All sorts of stuff. Very disheartened that it’s all just gone, with some of it unlikely to ever be remembered. That’s what this app was for. 😓

### 1/5 — Update and all my lists have gone

*2022-06-06, version v80*

I use this app on a daily basis to keep certain aspects of life in order.
I’ve opened the app today and found I was logged out… then after the rigmarole of trying to get logged back in I find ALL of my checklists have disappeared and the app is completely different.

I saw no advance warning of the app being updated and completely changed. I would certainly have taken screen shots of my checklists if there had been. 

Very disappointing.

### 5/5 — Great tool all anyone needs to keep things together

*2020-09-08*

Great tool keeps me organized with to do, planning, shopping lists etc., 
Makes putting together lists by to do items simple quick.
Syncs easily with devises
I use this daily for personal stuff 
Get this

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2020-03-11, version 2.9*

Love the app! The reminders are so helpful with my busy schedule.

### 5/5 — A true checklist

*2019-11-02*

I really don’t write reviews at all but I love this app and had to show love to the creator because it has truly allowed me to organize myself.  I can add every task swiftly.  When I think of something I need to take care of, I just open the app, click the plus symbol, and write it down without feeling annoyed. Most apps are designed tacky, and created with irritating processes. Once I complete the task I press the box next to it to check it off.  On top of it all, it backs up with Your Google account. Wonderful!!!

### 5/5 — Staying organized

*2019-09-26, version 2.9*

Great app for keeping your lists organized.

### 5/5 — Great way to keep track of my schedule

*2019-07-16*

I have a busy schedule, with this app, I can organize the stuff I need to do, then mark it as done. So at the end of the day, I can see what I actually did that day. I love seeing what I accomplished at the end of the day.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2019-05-31, version 2.9*

Excellent

### 5/5 — Love it.

*2019-05-25*

This is exactly what I wanted. It’s simple and easy to use. I’m able to make sub lists easily. The only problem I have is it randomly rearranges some of the items but this is normally fixed by backing out and goin back in to the list.

### 5/5 — Great!! Keeps me Organized

*2019-05-24*

I am in middle school. I have a lot of homework and a lot of chores to do at home. This really helps me keep organized and make sure I get everything done.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2019-05-13, version 2.9*

Great app it makes it so easy to make lists, it’s perfect for my needs.

### 5/5 — Easy & Great app

*2019-02-22, version 2.9*

I have a chore list my mum gives to me and  this app is so helpful :)
