### 4/5 — Cool

*2017-02-24, version 2.20*

Muy buena y facil lista de usar. deberian los desaroyadores de poner la opcion de subi todas tus listas y pendiente a la nube para cuando tienes un problema con tu cellular o lo cambias no se piede la informacion

### 4/5 — Very useful but....

*2015-07-12, version 2.12*

It would get a 5 if you could get a list in a list (e.g. Packing list then inside it have carryon bag then the stuff you need in the bag) but overall this is a very useful app and better then rest if you do have a list in a list please alert me of this :) ~ thx ~

### 5/5 — Does what it says on the tin

*2014-02-15, version 2.03*

Brilliant app, the most user friendly app I have found and the ability to email the list to others who can then import them is genius. Being able to add your own icons would be good bit as it is it's definitely a 5***** app

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-10-15, version 2.03*

Best list app in the App Store!!!

### 5/5 — This app is awesome!

*2013-09-13, version 2.03*

Thank you for making a great app! I love all the helpful how to's. I'm happy to have a detailed to remind me of all things I forget these days :D

### 4/5 — Someone Finally Got It Right!

*2013-08-16, version 2.02*

I'm just getting used to all of the flexibility of this app and I can tell this is by far the best scheduling app on the market! Awesome job creating this guys!

### 5/5 — Excellent Support

*2013-07-12, version 2.02*

Even for the lite version I received excellent support.  The app does exactly what I need for it to do as well.

### 5/5 — As simple as you need it, but has more

*2013-04-07, version 2.02*

It's just a checklist if that's what you want or there are more layers to uncover for added functionality if you need more power.

### 5/5 — I almost can't believe it...

*2013-04-03, version 2.01*

I am a little bit OCD and a whole lot ADD… What this means that over the past two years I have downloaded and tested almost every list making app in the store. Right now, I have over 30 on my iPad waiting to be examined or tossed.

Today it was this app's turn.

And what I almost can't believe is that I can find almost nothing at all unsatisfactory about this app. Actually, that's not fair: there's nothing unsatisfactory. It's just that, of course, I would love to tweak it just a tiny bit here and there. But that's only because I'm greedy… 

I won't list all the features, I'll only say what matters: this developer got it right in the details. It's the details that matter, that really make or break an app, and it's the details that almost everybody else gets wrong.  I am extremely impressed.

Now, about my greed... I'll save that for another day.

### 4/5 — Highly advanced lister.

*2013-01-17, version 2.0*

One of the most advanced listing apps at the store. Also, a high-quality design to be found here.  On the downside, this app is LONG overdue for a locking/password feature.  The app is docked one star for the absence of this feature.

### 5/5 — Simple, works for me

*2012-12-19, version 1.90*

Just what I wanted. A simple app foraging lists.

### 5/5 — Great

*2012-11-10, version 1.90*

Really nice simple list app.

### 4/5 — Best check list app I've used

*2012-11-09, version 1.81*

So far so good, really liking this app. Does everything I was looking for.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Awful

*2017-05-19, version 2.30*

Need an effing engineering degree to use this pos

### 1/5 — Don't like..

*2013-07-31, version 2.02*

This is really confusing. I can't make a list and when I try to I can't find it.

### 1/5 — Crashes a lot!

*2013-03-17, version 2.01*

This used to be a great app. With the latest update it crashes when I try to add a new item. And the new version has deleted all items from my list!! Also text import feature doesn't work either. Don't waste your time with this app.

### 1/5 — Update ..lost list

*2013-03-13, version 2.01*

Thank goodness I kept hard copies. Don't use this app, if you do have backup's.  I will be removing it for a reliable one.

### 1/5 — Thanks Not

*2013-02-24, version 2.01*

Thanks for your most recent update and it wiped all my lists out! Horrible and so MAD!!!

### 1/5 — Not so intuitive

*2012-06-26, version 1.75*

The design is too convoluted and not so intuitive. Why can't they make it easier to make an "item" or "list" of items??

### 1/5 — Wat????

*2011-07-18, version 1.50*

I hav no idea how to work this app!!! I know it might sound dum but..... It's true!!!!

### 1/5 — Locked up while trying to create first list....

*2011-06-23*

I installed this app and while in the process of creating my first list the entire app locked up just after I created the first list, but before I could add anything to it.   Every time I went back to the app it was still locked on the same screen and nothing I did could make it respond.

I'd skip this one.  Which is too bad, if it had worked I probably would have upgraded to the paid version.  But it's hard to give anything other than the lowest rating possible to an app that permenantly locks up less than a minute after you start using it.

### 2/5 — Simple interface, missing critical feature

*2014-06-26, version 2.03*

No text search.  Makes it pretty useless.

### 2/5 — Complicated!

*2013-08-07, version 2.02*

Looks like a good app but intro guide very confusing and not user friendly. Deleted.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Very Handy and Useful

*2025-02-24, version 2.61*

Very handy little app, I really appreciate the simplicity. I was looking for something close to the simplicity of a pen and paper checklist which so many other apps failed to achieve. It’s harder than most people appreciate to create a streamlined easy to navigate app, the developer has achieved this with List!

Thank you

### 5/5 — Buena app!!!!

*2020-04-13, version 2.40*

Fácil de usar, con prioridades, y buena guía inicial

### 5/5 — La mejor aplicación de listas para el iPhone

*2019-03-12, version 2.40*

Llevaba mucho tiempo buscando una aplicación que me permitieras tener listas de las cosas que tengo que llevar cuando viajo y esta es perfecta. Para el siguiente viaje permite desmarcar todos los ítems, algo que pocas tienen porque están más pensadas para lista de tareas pendientes. Además hice una sugerencia al desarrollador y la incluyó en la siguiente versión.

### 5/5 — Very Useful List Tracker!

*2018-10-29, version 2.30*

Cant find an app better than this one. It does what I need it to do. Create a list I can check mark when the contents in the list are completed. Overall 5/5 stars!

### 5/5 — List

*2018-01-22, version 2.30*

Easy to use. Great for people that forget things.

### 5/5 — The perfect list app!!!

*2017-10-02, version 2.30*

This app provides everything I ever wanted in a list app! I can set the date/day for each job & set the priority on 4 different levels. Once a job is done I can check the little circle to the left, and the completed job turns grey and goes to the bottom.  From there, I can either reactivate it, or delete it totally. Furthermore, the color changes as the days approach. This let you know what chores and jobs are upcoming. There are other cool features, too, but this is exactly what I always wanted! Very easy to use! I can even set up different types of lists.

### 5/5 — Lost it all

*2015-01-10, version 2.11*

App updated an erased all my list. What's the point ?

### 5/5 — Very easy

*2014-12-19, version 2.11*

Really like it as has helpful tips on how to navigate your way around

### 5/5 — Easy!!!

*2014-03-04, version 2.03*

Very user friendly and wicked simple to customize. Downloaded 8 other task organizer apps that were either difficult to navigate or were set lists you couldn't edit. So glad I found this one!!!

### 5/5 — Great, convenient, simple

*2014-02-17, version 2.03*

This is a great app for planning trips!
