Aber viele Aufgaben bedürfen einer Wiederholung. Das muss unbedingt implementiert werden. Dann gerne 5 Sterne. ### 2/5 — Whah happen? *2025-05-14* Not liking the new look. Cannot change font size. Less features I think. Phone app OK. Can I pay to get old format back? ### 4/5 — More options *2025-01-14, version 4.17.1* Wish there were a few more options such as automatically showing the date an item is completed ### 5/5 — Read this!!! *2025-01-13, version 4.17.1* OMG 😱 this is such a great app, it is amazing. I use it all the time . There are no ads, not subscriptions it’s all free and easy. Making the lists is really fun. There is nothing wrong with this app ### 3/5 — Difficolta nella condivisione *2024-12-07, version 4.17.1* Bella app. Il problema e nella condivisione spesso nonostante venga accettato non inserisce il nuovo “do” ### 5/5 — Wow *2024-11-14, version 4.17.1* I needed an easy list organizer and did not want to pay lots of money. Well I found it and $2.99 to remove ads. Syncs to my iPad and iPhone so nicely. Huge THANKS to the developer for making a very nice List app that I understand as an older person. ### 2/5 — Buggy *2024-11-09, version 4.17.1* I like many aspects of this app, but it’s incredibly buggy. You have to force close & reopen to view new entries as they just disappear. It’s also near impossible to reorder your lists. The option exists, it just never works. ### 2/5 — Same problems *2024-09-13, version 4.15* I continue to have problems with items deleting themselves. Not just checking off, but ceasing to exist. I’ve watched it happen multiple times. Sometimes things reappear and sometimes they don’t. I made a new list yesterday, added 15-20 things to it. Today there were two lists w that title, one w no items, one that was (probably) as I left it. Foolishly, I deleted the empty list. I watched the home screen as one by one things from the real list went away. 3 things are left. Infuriating ### 5/5 — Wow *2024-06-03* I needed an easy list organizer and did not want to pay lots of money. Well I found it and $2.99 to remove ads. Syncs to my iPad and iPhone so nicely. Huge THANKS to the developer for making a very nice List app that I understand as an older person. ### 5/5 — Super List App *2024-06-01* This is the best list maker I've found that also goes to my watch. I can sort checked to the bottom and I can add colors to notes. There is a lot more, I'm learning, but trust me, well worth a few bucks, even if you have another notes App this one works so well for lists! TY ### 4/5 — Very glitchy! *2024-04-21, version 4.14* I like the way it’s set up but it’s very very glitchy. Every time I use it there’s some glitch or another. There are 3 that i come across routinely: 1. When sorting one of my lists manually and it kicks me out of the app. Every time i go back, I find the list again sort the next list item only to get kicked out again, so if my list has 10 items I get kicked out 10 times until I finish sorting them. 2. I click on a list and it appears to be “empty”. I have to go back and click it again to see my listed items 3. When adding a new item to a list it randomly disappears and reappears when u reopen the list If it weren’t for the annoying glitches this app would be great 🤷🏽‍♀️ ### 4/5 — Make A List Improvements *2024-02-22, version 4.14* I’ve used this app for a couple of years now. It started to get wonky, e.g. “forgetting” items I put on the list, as well as other bugs and problems. They have reworked the entire app with a new look and many improvements. Thank you! Glad I hung in there. Couple of important notes: it would be nice if the app could remember items so you don’t have to retype everything. Also, app always thinks I have already put something on the list when I haven’t. It’s recognizing a word that is on the list but there is additional input for the item and the app doesn’t recognize that. ### 3/5 — Great but then… *2024-02-08, version 4.14* Great app, works well, but then says continue with ads for free or pay. I continue with ads, agree to it then it asks the same question again, over and over. Therefore my choice becomes pay or don’t use it. Uninstalled. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2024-01-15, version 4.14* Only thing I have against this app is that I wish there was more options for the highlighters like red and brown and more shades for the colours ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ho pagato la versione pro *2025-10-28, version 6.0* Non mi permette di creare le liste ### 1/5 — Why are there ads for this? *2025-09-26, version 5.1* Cannot even add a note to my list without an ad popping up. Ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2025-07-10, version 5.1* You can’t add to your grocery list unless you watch an advertisement between each item that you put on your list. It’s easier for me to go back to pen and paper. I’ve used this app for years. It’s now garbage. ### 1/5 — I'm out *2024-07-08, version 4.14* So it's too bad that they store files in root iCloud. Deleted. This is the best list maker I've found that also goes to my watch. I can sort checked to the bottom and I can add colors to notes. There is a lot more, I'm learning, but trust me, well worth a few bucks, even if you have another notes App this one works so well for lists! TY ### 1/5 — Email to you *2024-01-22, version 4.14* I sent you email last Friday and wait for your answer and help me????? Let me know Thanks!!! Good Night!!! ### 1/5 — Worst app - be cautious *2024-01-06, version 4.14* Before you start using this app, it asks if you would like to purchase or use the free version. I selected the free version, after which it asked to select the data privacy consent - I deselected everything & clicked on confirm choices. To my surprise, it didn’t let me move further. It always brought me back to the first page i.e. select free version or pay. Uninstalled right away! ### 1/5 — Käufe *2023-06-26* Also komisch ist, das wenn ich am MacBook die Werbung frei kaufe das die dann trotzdem noch Werbung auf dem IPhone zu sehen ist. Dachte das wäre dann bei allen Geräten ohne Werbung. Wenn das geklärt wird, gibt es 5 Sterne. Weil so gefällt mir die App richtig gut 👍🏻 ### 1/5 — Sharing lists is unreliable *2023-06-09, version 4.13* It’s very frustrating because the app looks great but not all the items in our lists are shared. Sometimes when we add an item it will appear twice on the shared device. ### 1/5 — Fail *2023-02-13, version 4.12* I was so exited to get this app. The reviews looked good so I decided to download. I went into the app and made a list, I exited out the list was deleted. I thought it might just be a one time thing so I tried again, but unfortunately again it delated. I really liked the design of the app but the lists kept getting lost! ### 1/5 — Randomly deletes list items *2022-12-19, version 4.12* Have been using this for a while and recently items have been deleting from my list. The whole point of the app is to help remember things so I can no longer use this app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — What I would change *2026-07-23, version 6.1* Can you please add folders it would help a lot but the app is still amazing ### 5/5 — Helpful *2026-06-07, version 6.1* This app is so helpful for when you lose track of so many things. When I was packing for a vacation, this made me not forget anything. ### 5/5 — Great Details! *2026-04-22, version 6.1* I love being able to change the font, the colors on my lists, so much is customizable! ### 5/5 — Realy accessible *2025-11-15, version 6.1* I am visually impaired and on this app, there are so many settings that you can adjust to make your life more easier. I also think it’s a nice app because of how many things you can do for free ### 5/5 — Great app! *2025-11-14, version 6.1* It is very useful for me to use instead of notes so I can decorate my lists. I love it so much! ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-10-22, version 4.13* This is the best app ever it gives you a pic for each item it lets you check off what you do it helps me so so much ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2025-09-24, version 5.1* More development ### 5/5 — My favorite list taking app, but just a few tweaks? *2025-07-08, version 5.1* 5 stars because I am honestly very particular about note taking apps and this one is the most satisfying to use out of all the ones I've tried. I just love the look of it and the way information is organized. Very straight-forward and easy to read especially with the outlined boxes, variety in font, and color-coding, unlike "sleek & minimalistic" list apps that make it harder due to the monotony. Got the ad-free version because I figured It'd be worth using longterm. I am very thankful for this app. Bug I have been experiencing: Whenever I make a new list, for some reason the app duplicates the list as an empty list. Had to be careful about deleting the duplicate, because once it deleted the original and I don't know why. General app suggestion: I don't use the web recommendation setting, but have to turn it off for every new list I make. It would be less frustrating if there was a more general setting I could turn off for all future notes. I'd also like to turn off how adding commas creates a new list item. Cheers! ### 5/5 — Veramente OK *2025-05-08, version 5.1* App realizzata molto bene, utile e facile da usare. Meglio di così… ! ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2025-03-27, version 4.17.1* I swear it’s such a Best app what you have to do and if you just forget it, I can just open the app. It’s the best it changed my life. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
