## What is KwikList Plus?

KwikList Plus is a simple and powerful list management tool that will help you organize your life.  Create and manage all of your lists from one convenient spot, and configure them to capture the information that *you* need, presented how *you* want it, and available when and where *you* need it.

* Create new list from one of the available list-types – to do, gifts, pictures, notes, and simple – and then customize it as needed to include the specific fields and categories that you need to track.

* Don't need one of the fields for an item?  Remove it with a swipe.

* Need to record more information for an item?  Add a new note, image, date, time, number, money, Url, or switch with one touch.

* Need to share your list with somebody else?  Email or print the whole list or just the details of a specific item.

* Don't want to share?  Optional password protection lets you restrict access to a list that you don't want others to see.

* Use 'Smart Lists' to quickly and easily access all of your items that are due, overdue, or high priority.

* Use 'Quick Select' to remember commonly used items and present them for selection as you type.

* Use 'Global Search' to find items from any list quickly and easily.  Use 'Advanced Search' within your lists to filter items based on any one of the defined list fields.

* Setup items to repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly and see them automatically update for each interval.

* Create pop-up reminders for your items; never forget another important task again.

* Save your lists in the Cloud!  Enable iCloud sync to automatically update your lists across all of your devices!

* Use the included Home Screen widgets to expose your KwikList information directly on your Device Screen.

* Export your lists as .kwiklist bundle files for backup and/or import into other devices.

If you have lists -- and we all do -- then you need KwikList Plus.

### 2/5 — Needs a brief manual   App is not intuitive

*2019-01-01*

Need a manual  not intuitive

**Developer response:** If you have a specific question about the app’s functionality feel free to send an email to the support address — kwiklist@silasinc.ca — and I’ll do my best to help.
Thanks for the feedback in any case.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2013-08-31*

A bit of a learning curve, for sure, but well worth the effort.  I use it for *all* of my lists and I couldn't live without it!

### 5/5 — Best todo list app I have used

*2013-01-01*

This app is great. The level of customization is much higher than other apps I have used. I am running on two devices and it has not crashed once. Dropbox sync seems to work better than iCloud, though I am not sure that is the fault of the app. 2 improvements for dev: auto sort lists based on a certain criteria like due date. Right now it seems as though I can choose for new entries to appear at the top or bottom then I have to resort each time I add. Second, allow more control over the red circle on the apps icon. For example, it would be nice if this number were dictated by items due today. 

I highly recommend this app for people who love making lists of all sorts. It is very intuitive and highly customizable.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2012-03-25*

It won't start now. Every time I try to open it does and then shuts down. Why as up with that.

### 1/5 — Not ready for prime time

*2011-09-29*

This app has some serious bugs. If you add list items using one template and switch to another template, it doesn't bother "converting" the existing items, nor does it behave cleanly when it encounters an inconsistency.

Adding a new list is about as unintuitive as it gets.

Try pressing a function button repeatedly and watch the drop shadow darken and spread as more and more instances of a pop-up menu render on top of each other.

The list goes on...

### 5/5 — The Leader of the Pack

*2011-07-25*

This is the most versatile and flexible list-app I have come across so far (and I have tried many!). I find there are four features that specially set it apart from others. 

1. Many kinds of lists in one and the same app. You can keep lists of any type - task, project, shopping, appointment, event, reminder, menu, reference, image, etc. They are all stored in the same place and work on the same system. To facilitate this, the app provides a number of templates, from which you can construct and customize your lists. You can copy a list you've made and reuse it - either with the same items or just the same settings, to which you add different items. You can also add multiple fields to any list, thus making it sortable in several different ways, such as by date or time or URL or contact or category. All kinds of lists, sortable in all kinds of ways, stored in one and the same place.
2. In particular, all your action items are in the same place. Todos can be linked with your calendar, your contacts, your photo library, or any address on the Internet. So, for example, if you are are working on a task list or a project, you don't have to exit the app to perform some related action; everything can be done from within KwikList - whether to phone or email someone, or to check some reference or to schedule an appointment or an event. All your todos can be viewed and managed together. You can also sync between devices, and the same lists will show on your iPhone and your iPad. So on each device you can keep all your action items together. There is less risk of things falling through the cracks because they are scattered in different apps or different devices. It very much unifies and simplifies task management.
3. All your lists can be sorted at all levels (list, category, item); and at each level you can perform either an auto sort or a manual sort, if you choose. Auto sorting can be done by any available field, such as date or category; while with a manual sort you can organize your data more intuitively, as by order of performance, or location, or urgency, or importance, and so on. The beauty is that you can do either auto or manual, depending on what you need.
4. All your lists can be organized by categories. These categories function like subfolders containing related matter. They can be expanded to show the items they contain, or collapsed to hide them, like a simple outlining tool. This is invaluable when you want  to switch between brief overviews and more detailed ones. At a  further level of detail, you can call up a note or a picture to any item, besides the contents of other fields.

These are some of the more outstanding features I noticed as soon as I began exploring the app. It did not take me long to learn or use them. I am sure there are other features that will strike me as I go further into the app, with the help of the manual, which I have downloaded and started reading.

There are one or two points on which this already excellent app can be further improved, and I have written to the developer about them. His responses were prompt and appreciative. One improvement is the addition of Air Print, which he says is on the way, with others to follow. 

On balance, not only do we have here a very intelligent and very useful concept, but a developer who takes pride in his work and thinks with the end-user in mind. This is an app with a future. It is worth far more than the four dollars I paid for it and the five stars at which I rate it. 

(PS. This review is partly influenced by a desire to balance the unfairly negative feedback of HeresMyTwoCents, which is clearly a case of barking up the wrong tree. You can't blame a Rolls Royce for not being a Kia. If all you want is a simple task list then stick to something elementary like Priorities or Done, both excellent in their kind but extremely limited. If you want something more fine-tuned, more powerful, and more versatile, KwikList is well worth the brief learning curve, as almost every other reviewer of this app has found. I am not connected with the developer in any way, but I see the value of his work and wish him well!)

### 5/5 — KwikList Plus

*2011-05-20*

I am always making lists and then forgetting them when I get to the store.  This app is great!  I will always have my lists with me as long as I have my phone.  AND...I actually get to check them off!  I love it!

### 5/5 — Lists, ToDos, and Notes... Oh My!

*2011-03-19*

Ok. So it does it all. It replaces my Evernote. It replaces my Toodledo. It replaces my 3 or 4 note apps. It even replaces my Database apps. I'm very happy with this app. The developer is quick to respond to e-mails. It's just beautiful man!

But, it needs item by item sync so my family can join in on the fun. And it needs repeating tasks to be a fully featured ToDo app. At least in my opinion. 

But since the developer answered quickly and stated those would be in a future update, I'm going to give it 5 stars anyway. ;)

UPDATE: Developer added repeating tasks! Awesome! Item sync is all that is left and it is promised by mid summer.

### 5/5 — Very useful app

*2011-02-12*

This app has replaced the "to do" app that I was using. Te versatility and plethora of options is excellent. I prefer to have too many options than too few because I can always simply not use them. 

I look forward to "item-level sync" in future updates. This feature will allow me to better update my lists across multiple devices. 

The ability to sync with tasks from Outlook would be a nice option as well. 

Keep up the good work!

### 3/5 — Overly complicated...

*2010-09-30*

It seems pretty comprehensive but the interface is kind of clunky and inconsistent. I can't figure out how to get rid of the "items" category or change it's name or make a different category the default. There's no documentation to speak of and it isn't so intuitive as not to need any... You can muddle your way through, but doing so takes time. It needs polish and should probably be priced lower until it get it. I'll keep it in the hopes that it is updated frequently and improves rapidly but I probably won't use it much until doing so takes less effort. In the meantime, outliner works very nicely for most of my purposes.
