### 4/5 — Best planning app

*2025-07-09, version 3.5*

For me this is the best daily planning app, and I’ve literally tried them all. Even without paying for premium the features are incredibly robust and helpful without too many distracting bells and whistles. I like minimalist apps with a clear and simple purpose that is excellently executed, and this is that! I pay for premium mainly because it’s really cheap and I want this company to keep making great apps! It’s completely replaced my regular calendar. 

The only ways I would ask the creators to add further improvements is:
- Apple Watch app - I would love to be able to view my to dos and check them off from my Apple Watch
- collaborate - I got my sister hooked on this app too and would love to be able set collaborators on specific tasks/events if they are shared with someone else who also has the app
- data and trends for habits, reoccurring tasks
- Home Screen widget view

### 4/5 — Wish it had a widget :(

*2025-06-05, version 3.5*

I was using this for a while and really enjoy it, I even got the yearly subscription but have ended up floating back to my old app because the widget is convenient and helps me remember tasks better

### 4/5 — Nearly perfect - one feature needed

*2024-11-12*

I really appreciate the simplicity of this. Most other apps if you want to organize a task you have to go through several clicks. Just being able to highlight the task with a swipe, or cross it out, is both intuitive and time-saving. 

As someone with adhd, less steps to getting something done is as helpful as it gets. Except there is one thing I would like to see remedied — if a task remains unfinished you aren’t prompted to move it to another date. 

For most people just seeing the counter badge may be enough to remember they have unfinished tasks. Someone with ADHD may avoid the app because of that badge number (which you can turn off) and a week could go by without completing the tasks. So what happens when they finally decide to open Listberry the following week? They have to go back and search for the unfinished tasks. Again, not a problem for many people, but someone with ADHD or executive functioning difficulties would benefit from direct prompting.

### 5/5 — couldn’t unlock premium

*2024-02-25, version 3.5*

Hi! I was trying to unlock the premium but when I click those words nothing happened. How can I buy?

### 5/5 — Get this for list

*2024-02-14, version 3.5*

Easy to use, no annoying gimmicks. Simplicity itself.

### 5/5 — Exactly What I Needed

*2023-12-07, version 3.5*

I was looking for an app that would solve my problem of having a myriad of paper lists that never quite functioned how I needed them to, and this app does exactly that! As a homemaker my tasks, ideas, and things I want to get done aren’t always deadline specific so this app allows me to brain dump task that may apply to a certain week, or brainstorm things I want to achieve over the month; and then, the advantage of technology over paper, is that with the tap of the screen you can delete the task, complete the task, or schedule it to a specific date. It takes the aesthetics of paper task lists and merges it with technological grace. Bravo! And thank you!!

### 5/5 — The Perfect Planner!

*2023-10-14, version 3.5*

This is the PERFECT planner with simple (thank you) and very convenient design and use. Also - no ads or banners bumping out into your face. I’m so happy that I found it! The price for premium subscription is also very pleasant (thank you for that, too)🙏🏼 I’m using it every day now and it makes my days much more organised and productive. I want to thank the devs for this precious little thing ♥️ Also, check out their other app for daily gratitude - it’s cute and awesome as well 🙂

### 4/5 — Good, but no updates for awhile.

*2023-08-25, version 3.5*

Love the idea and the clean and simple UI. Feel the app could do with some updates ie dark mode, added themes, adding a start time does not seem to work. 

Most apps you pay subscription for update on a regular basis and add new features.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2023-07-10, version 3.5*

This is exactly what I have been looking for!  Very simple and easy to use. The only issue I have is the font is too light. I have a hard time reading it. I have to go into each entry and bold it. It would be awesome if it could be a darker font.

### 4/5 — Excellent planner

*2023-06-25, version 3.5*

Very attractive UI. Intuitive layout and menus.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2023-05-27, version 3.5*

Really helpful app keeps me organised and so easy to use

### 5/5 — Listberry

*2023-04-18, version 3.5*

Easily provides what other apps would charge you for, and helps stay on track with notifications/ reminders!

### 4/5 — Worth it

*2023-04-12, version 3.5*

I really like this app and the simplicity that it offers visually and when interacting. I wish that you could rearrange the tasks in a day without adding an exact time that they start at. I also wish the symbols used to signify reoccurrences and notes were less ugly and something other than the ios emojis. Overall, it is definitely worth the download.

### 5/5 — Great for ADD folks

*2023-04-11, version 3.5*

Love this app so much. Just wish it had the ability to have a long term and short term lists that I could pull items into my planner from. I prioritize day to day items, but there are lists for long terms things I’d like to do when I have free time, or open days.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed!

*2023-04-06*

I have gone back and forth between various paper and digital to-do lists, never being 100% satisfied. This app has hit the nail on its head for me! I have only been using Listberry for a couple of weeks, but it has proven to be so helpful and intuitive! I have not yet upgraded to the paid version, but I may end up doing so in the future. There is only one paid feature so far that I can see myself possibly needing at some point, but I’ve gotten by just fine so far without it.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2023-03-24, version 3.5*

I absolutely love this Listberry, I’ve been looking for a long time for a digital replacement for my bullet journal and here it is!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Abandoned App that has Potential

*2025-12-13, version 3.5*

This app is very simple and easy to navigate. Although it looks nice, there are basic features it lacks. At this point they will likely never be added as this app has not been updated in 4years. You cannot reorganize tasks, look at your monthly over view, no widgets, etc. Don't waste your time, keep searching for a better app with developers who care about what they put out.

### 1/5 — I want to like it so bad

*2024-11-09, version 3.5*

Love this app but is it rage bait to add two emojis when repeating a task and adding notes? 

As a stay at home mom I absolutely have to be able to repeat tasks for things like chores, cooking ect… That “feature” completely ruined the app. Also I don’t understand how the “open app to month view” is a premium feature, not really necessary. $10.99 for the year isn’t bad but if someone buys during the year and not at the beginning then the price should be prorated. Anyway I love the highlight feature and the simple text and font is very cute! I will keep using this app in the future if things improve, but the app hasn’t been updated in 3 years so I don’t see anything changing :/

### 1/5 — Do NOT waste your money

*2024-05-27, version 3.5*

Too many errors.. 
When you add/remove any words, the screen goes blank. Submitted request to develop multiple times, but to no avail. Dont waste your money on subscriptions!

### 1/5 — iPad issue

*2021-07-14, version 3.4*

Can you please please please make this rotate to landscape mode. I can’t use it without being able to use my stand and keyboard, so without this feature it really isn’t useable at all.

### 1/5 — The only free thing is the intro

*2019-08-19, version 2.7*

It said „free“ in the app store and after getting through the intro I got asked for subscription. Nope! I‘ll keep my old-school paper version then.

### 2/5 — Don’t do it two year old app they stopped fixing

*2023-10-17, version 3.5*

Bought the subscription and you can’t start a task the developer never put in the field to start the task time so you only have end task on the screen horrible UI layout

### 2/5 — Needs updates for subscription pricing

*2020-09-30*

Great app for the simplicity. I love the straightforward week view that allows me to make simple lists for each day’s activities and appointments. This really can replace my small paper agenda planner. 

I want to give 5 stars but the subscription model of pricing is not appropriate. If the app is subscription priced, then they should be providing a monthly service or at least regular updates. The last update was 5 months ago... and the app lacks basic features such as dark mode... I don’t see why I should pay a monthly subscription when there are other apps that do so much more for a fixed one-time price and provide regular updates.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review and feedback! We're sorry you didn't find the service worthy of the price point. In order to ensure consistent quality and user experience, updates require extensive testing and development before release. We feel our pricing reflects the detail and precision we put into both design and execution. If you are willing to wait, dark mode is included in the next version of the app! 💕 If you would like to continue using the app but need assistance with the payment, please contact us at support@darlingapps.com so we can find a way to help.

### 2/5 — Lacks Updates with a Monthly Fee

*2020-03-04*

I love this app, but there’s apps out there that do not require a continuous monthly fee for a service that has not been updated in six months as of this review. I also feel as if even for a minimalist app, features are lacking. For example, a dark mode for this app would be amazing and easy on the eyes at night when I am planning out my next days. Also, fonts and the ability to choose an accent color would also be enjoyable. Even with those two features mentioned above, I could not justify spending money on this app monthly. A one-time purchase option would be way better.

### 3/5 — Three things…and then some

*2023-01-14, version 3.5*

L1. No compatibility across devices 2. No si tasks 3. No ability to search for previous or future tasks. 

As a follow on.. I realize they are a “small group of developers “ but apparently they are not responding to the reviews. No across device support (I.e no login), No search functionality. No desktop support. No sub tasks- unless you call a section for notes, “subtasks”. I would gladly pay more. I will say the app is very professional and elegant which is what drew me to it.

### 3/5 — Can’t reorder list items?

*2022-11-06*

This app would be everything I ever needed. However, as far as I can tell there is no quick and easy way to reorder items? I have very complicated itineraries in here which I use as part of coping strategies for ADHD, OCD and other conditions I suffer from, and often need to reorder tasks as things change throughout the day. This seems like a pretty basic key feature. The only way seems to be to literally delete my way back to where I need to reorder from and retype the list, which is not practical when the list has 40 items on it with notes and formatting. Or, to set times for the various items. Which doesn’t even work for the monthly or weekly lists. There is also no way to move more than one item at a time. The Reminders app is the main tool I’ve been using in the past and it’s very simple to just drag and reorder items, or to indent multiple items and move them that way. The swipe gestures for marking items as completed in the app are also a little finicky. I’d be able to fully transition to this app if it had these features, but at the moment I can’t renew my subscription because they’re not present and it seems the devs haven’t updated the app in a while.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Love this!

*2026-03-25, version 3.5*

OK I hate the obnoxiously overcomplicated calendar on Apple. I use Listberry as my prior calendar because in no way does it ever mix it up with the intertwined over complicated calendar. Also being able to scratch off things as they are done but yet they stay there so that I can still reference them, but that little sound it makes is gratifying!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2025-05-11, version 3.5*

I been using this app for years, so good for daily planning/long term planning. I use it religiously every day, it helps me so much with OCD and keeping up with everything. Thank you to the people who made this!

### 5/5 — So simple so easy!

*2025-02-18, version 3.5*

I love how easy to use the app is. The instructions at the beginning were easy to understand and I really love the feature of transferring to the next day.

### 5/5 — Easy and uncluttered

*2025-02-06, version 3.5*

This app is more than a “to do list” for me. It has allowed me to create new habits; can’t end the day without crossing it from the list, with a most satisfying “scratch off” sound.

Love it.

### 5/5 — Notification sound

*2024-11-10, version 3.5*

Love it. 5 stars. But, when will we be able to choose our own notification sound. The default option is too short and I sometimes miss it I need to be able to choose something longer.

### 5/5 — Absolutely loving this digital planner

*2024-11-01, version 3.5*

Easily accessible on my iPhone 14 Pro Max AND my Apple Watch series 9 :D

### 5/5 — FAV PLANNING APP USED

*2024-09-06, version 3.5*

I have tried out dozens of other planning apps but this one is THE BEST. So simple and easy to use and not overwhelming. The only thing it lacks is an web application so I cant use it on my computer and I hope this feature gets added soon!!! PLS ADD A WEB APPLICATION FEATUREE other than that I love this app 💯

### 5/5 — Simply the best

*2024-06-01, version 3.5*

I enjoy the simplicity of this app. It’s the closest to making a list on paper. I’m a fan! Thank you x

### 5/5 — Does what I need it to do.

*2024-05-13*

I’ve tried a number of planning / reminder app but none of them quite worked for me. They always seemed to be too “fussy” and difficult to use or too basic. Listberry for me has the sweet spot between the functionality I need and ease of use. My only tiny constructive feedback: I wish we change the notification sound to something of our choice, or just have an option for something longer. Sometimes I miss the single short ping. Great app! Thanks.

### 5/5 — Easy, functional, productive

*2024-04-11, version 3.5*

I surveyed about 5 calendar apps and Listberry is my top choice for dynamic task lists. It’s easy to reschedule for tomorrow, I can put more detail into complex tasks by making a list within a task, and I like the crossing things off feature.
