### 5/5 — Just what I’ve been looking for - almost perfect

*2026-04-18, version 1.3.1*

Easy to use. I love to hand write list and I wanted multiple lists and I wanted tags to separate priority and different categories. This is great! But I would love to see some color options to color code the different lists, a double tap undo option, and the ability to switch an item to another list. I think this might be my favorite iPad app

### 5/5 — Great simple app.

*2025-12-09, version 1.3.1*

I’ve used this app for a year or so now and I’m pretty happy with it. Only request would be to add a light mode toggle and allow text paste(does not need any text editor added, I understand the app is HANDwritten notes)

### 1/5 — Great app!

*2025-10-20, version 1.3.1*

Great simple app!

### 5/5 — Beste App für Notizen

*2025-09-26, version 1.3.1*

Lange gesucht und gefunden

### 2/5 — App is Okay?

*2025-08-13, version 1.3.1*

App is okay, but keeps deleting my notes/to-do’s, just lost 2 days of notes.

### 5/5 — Perfect for what I need.

*2025-02-23, version 1.3.1*

This was exactly what I was looking for. I can’t believe no other app works like this. I’d 100% pay for version with some added features

### 5/5 — Fantastisch

*2025-02-17, version 1.3.1*

Alles dabei was ich brauche. Toll finde och, dass ich die Listen handschriftlich anlegen kann. 
Manch einer stört sich vielleicht daran, dass man nicht auf verschiedenen Geräten synchronisieren kann, aber ich vermisse es nicht.

### 4/5 — Good app, needs a couple small updates

*2025-01-09, version 1.3.1*

Loving the sorting feature and overall organization, but I would really love to have a on widget my iPad home screen that I can write on directly. In addition, it would be SO helpful it the writing features were the same as other apps with the new pencil (squeeze to erase and finger tap to undo). Otherwise, loving the app so far!

### 5/5 — :

*2025-01-07, version 1.3.1*

Perfect for what I need it for.

### 4/5 — Terrific app

*2024-07-07*

Hi team
I’ve been using your app for the last week and am really enjoying it -thanks!! Having the ability to replace my paper/post it to do lists is terrific. The only thing stopping me from giving it 5 stars is the lack of being able to add colour to my different lists and the tags. I’m a visual organiser and the ability to colour code things would really help. Apart from that amazing job!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.1 — 2021-11-15

• Applied compatibility fixes for iPadOS 15
• Bug fixed that the color of the ToDos wasn't recalculated, if the dark mode was enabled/disabled

### 1.3.0 — 2021-04-11

• The app can now also be used in landscape orientation. This way you can utilize the full width of your iPad.

• New button on the ToDo list view to enable the sorting mode
• New swipe action in the To Do list to move the ToDo to the end of the current list
• When creating a new ToDo, the drawing view is not scrollable anymore. Scrolling only gets enabled, if the drawing reaches a certain size. This helps to avoid accidentally scrolling when putting down the hand for writing. 
• Enhanced the behavior when opening a ToDo list, so this "nervous" scrolling to the end is not happening anymore :-)

### 1.1.0 — 2021-02-20
