Only limited list choices

Good if you stick only to their lists, as the ones that are there are good but wish we were able to add our own too… sure we can rename the pre-existing but that doesn’t help much… and idk why it says pending on some of the places I added to that list, and some places aren’t even listed in the app like this restaurant I love to go to

Cannot self rate media on mac version

I really like the aesthetic of this app, mobile and desktop, but as someone else also mentioned lack of feature parity is not good. I hope the developer adds this; potential for 5 stars

Can’t organize

This app is okay. Its really simple and basic. But for some reason it won’t let me rearrange or organize my movies on my list, which I feel should be an essential function on the app. So now whenever I put a movie out of order, I have to create an entirely new list, instead of just being able to drag the movie in the order I wanted. Very stupid please fix this immediately.

Супер

Приложение бомба. Помогает отслеживать и составлять свои списки всего на свете, с удобным интерфейсом.
Думал делать свое приложение, но listy закрыло все мои потребности.

This is a bad one - Don’t overlook the lack of a way to import ANYTHING

I found the simplicity of the visual design go this app really appealing on iOS. I figured that the ability to import bookmarks was obviously there, after all, there are dozens of articles on the Listy blog on how to export from various sources. Guess what? Every blog post says they’re working on import functionality. There has been no update to the app in 2026. You got me, Listy. The Mac app is awful to boot. Navigation is broken all over. All that, but it’s the fact that my actual bookmarks are sitting in another app entirely and cannot be imported to Listy.

Annoying bug

Please fix the bug where the category tv shows stopped working when looking shows up with the search. You can type anything and no shows will show up anymore. This still works for every category except for TV shows for some reason. Please help

Mac version lacks features of mobile version

I tried several apps in this category and settled on Listy as the best. However, I’m withholding one star because the Mac version lacks tags, which the iOS version includes. There’s no excuse for lack of feature parity, at least when the features aren’t intrinsic to mobile form factor.

Disappointing

I’ve really wanted to love this app but nothing but problems with it!
One of the most buggy apps I have ever used. Constantly having to refresh the content for the pictures on my list to show and the search button barely works!
Really disappointing.

I want to like this but the clunky interface and bugs are holding me back.

While I use this for all the standard media lists, I primarily use it to keep track of apps, software, plugins, and other digital resources. I primarily use the Mac app. It’s okay in that regard (better than other options I’ve tried) but there’s a lot of bugs and odd design/interface implementations. The app frequently hangs or crashes. The auto-collapsing sidebar is annoying and where the settings are placed. Took me a bit to finally find that little icon since there’s no menu items. The share extension and shortcuts are totally broken. Bundles in the App Store don’t work in app lists. The grid view feels too minimal and the thumbnail is oddly sized to work with most entries. List view uses the smallest font and barely gives any extra details. A card view would be nice or a list view with sortable columns. The fullscreen entry details would be better suited to a popover modal that is more compact and doesn’t obscure the rest of the interface. I have to frequently refetch content to populate entries that grab a few relevant variables but leave out important stuff like price or available platforms. Pinning items just duplicates the entry above the list so it doesn’t help in decluttering. Several menus and popups get stuck open, don’t scroll, and/or don’t respond to clicks. Whole app is very low contrast but also doesn’t feel like it puts the content first. Trying to add items of different categories to the same list has just erased that list and all entries several times. And like, are there any keyboard shortcuts? …plus more that’s too much to list. But to top it all off, many of the features are locked behind this Listy+ subscription that feels way too expensive for how buggy and unpolished it is. The different subscription options are not documented really at all either so there’s multiple subscriptions for same terms but different pricing - what’s the feature comparison there?

Dev, please implement a design that adheres more to Apple’s human interface guidelines, add custom variables/details, as well as tags & colors, the ability to edit more details when adding an entry, update docs especially in relation to subscriptions, add import from Apple Notes if possible, fix the extensions/shortcuts, and focus on baseline usability before getting ahead of yourself with new features. This has a lot of potential and I’d happily justify the subscription and update my review if the user experience wasn’t so frustrating. Future ideas could be integrating various media apps and adding an AI recommendation engine that learns from entries or perhaps social/community options for sharing and discussions. Heck, I’d even be fine with you tacking on affiliate links to content stores and the like. Just keep at it, you’ve got a real winner if you polish the functionality.

Great List Manager

This is an excellent app for tracking and organizing multiple lists. The interface is clean and intuitive, with robust sorting options, iCloud sync, and a full-data export feature. The datasets are also quite comprehensive.

One drawback is the search results cap — only five items display at a time with no option to load more. That limitation makes certain searches (for example, finding a specific sequel) frustrating and time-consuming. Fixing this results limit would make an otherwise great app outstanding.

Good but not useful without tags

This app has a lot of potential, but I can’t use it until it adds tags. I want to tags movies that I’ll watch with my wife vs solo. I use tags to track who recommended something. Without those, I can’t use it. It’s great for a very limited app but isn’t quite enough for me.

Frustrating UI Design for Mobile

I want to love this app so bad but I literally can’t access the bottom content of items because the scroll doesn’t stay and it’s blocked off by buttons.

As an example, I’m only watching the latest season of an anime and I can’t add that season because it won’t scroll down and stay at a point where I can click on it because of the buttons in the way.

Not great at anything

Slow a hard to interact, it doesn’t suggest things, and to log in all your information will take such a long time. Why not add suggestions and icons that will allow easy access to add to your list? Also you can’t rate anything besides movies for some reason

Seems to be great again

For a while sharing from Spotify gave a blank space but it's been fixed and it's a great app again. I get a great hit when I can add another album or movie and hit the 'completed' button! Needs a personal rating and/or notes function. But the export functions are amazing, esp. for end of year tallies

Amazing

This is the greatest app ever made and I’m not joking. My one wish would be that there was some social aspect it too where you could see your friends lists or ratings. I think this could become like a Letterboxd for TV shows and Books. Obviously adding social aspects to anything risks ruining the app, but even just seeing what your friends are doing on the app would be great and help you discover new shows and movies. Great app nonetheless

Stuff disappeared

I was adding stuff to one of my lists then all the sudden all my lists disappeared yesterday. I got completely out of the app and back in, still missing. Checked again today, still missing. I had around 10 lists on the app. Hopefully they reappear

Excelente app

Es muy buena la app me encanta , la única queja que tengo es que quitaron compartir las listas en formato imagen que me parecía una excelente opción.

Broken with new updates

I used to love this app for tracking TV shows. Now adding from IMDB is completely broken, completing shows doesn’t work, and even adding show natively stopped working reliably. It’s frustrating because I have a paid version and it just doesn’t work anymore.

I can add items to a list on iPhone but not on iPad Pro. Why?

Update Feb 26/2026. There is in fact a universal search. I don’t know if it is a new addition or something that I missed. Still can’t add list items to iPad. Update Feb 18/2026. Happy to report that I got a reply from the developer. They asked for a short screen recording of the issue which I supplied. A very sincere reply gives me hope for a fix. 1. Issue I can’t resolve: I have Listy+ on iPhone & iPad Pro running the same iOS (26.3) and Listy+ versions (1.6.2). The problem is that I cannot add items to a list I created on iPad Pro but I am able to on iPhone in the same list. There doesn’t appear to be any way to contact the developer to find out why. Lots to love about this app but this is an issue for me because I use the iPad considerably more than iPhone.
2. Nice app but there is no universal search? I subscribe to multiple streaming services, so I created a “to-do list” for each one. If I want to watch a certain show but don’t know what service it’s on; I have to search each list I created in order to find it.
I haven’t a clue about programming, but a universal search option would be an awesome addition. Is that possible? BTW the extensive help files are quite helpful.
I don’t know what other lists I might be creating but I suspect that a universal search would be helpful..

Now on to other things that Listy can do for me.
