### 1/5 — This Stupid App

*2026-08-14, version 6.9*

Updated this stupid app today. 
Big mistake. Lost everything. It’s all gone. 
I’m deleting it. Wish I didn’t pay for it. Bummer.

### 5/5 — Nice, clean task app

*2026-08-06, version 6.9*

Mindlist is working brilliantly for me to keep across all the task I have to support my family and to meet my personal goals!

### 3/5 — Used to be simple

*2026-08-01, version 6.9*

Edit: it’s not AS awful as I first felt, but it is very much increased how many taps it takes to set up a task and annoyingly inefficient. Please make priority tappable flags or something - please not a dropdown list… )=

I really enjoyed this app for its simplicity and ease of use. With the newest update, it’s so much harder to create a new task/checklist item. Now the app is pushing reminders by putting a date and for some reason the list that the task goes in at the top, priority flag is lost in the middle. It’s just clunky now, takes too much scrolling and tapping to do something simple like prioritize a shopping list. Love ruined into hate, sorry!

### 4/5 — Overall Very Nice

*2026-07-25, version 6.9*

Overall it has a lovely UI, clean and simple. The Widget is one of the best to-do/list widgets I have found. I just wish when you entered an item you could press return etc. It is annoying you have to click on “Add new task” and then click the tick. Sometime you just want to jot down some things in your head quickly an by having to click on buttons - plus signs it slows you down. Please consider keyboard commands or even just a click anywhere and type an entry would be a fantastic addition.

### 5/5 — Identical to Apple Reminders App

*2026-07-09, version 6.8*

I wanted to find a replacement for the Reminders app that comes with Apple by default and this is it. The Reminders app kept losing my lists or replacing the items with ones from years ago. Very frustrating. This app has all the same abilities as Reminders and more (if you pay the one time $6 fee to unlock all abilities). This app also has a calendar feature so you can see the days ahead.

### 5/5 — Best todolist app

*2026-06-14, version 6.5*

the one time premium payment, the ui, the colors, everything MUAH 🤌. even when i did not have premium the app was still very useful, and now that i do i feel unstoppable

### 3/5 — Used to be simple

*2026-06-11, version 6.5*

I really enjoyed this app for its simplicity and ease of use. With the newest update, it’s so much harder to create a new task/checklist item. Now the app is pushing reminders by putting a date and for some reason the list that the task goes in at the top, priority flag is lost in the middle. It’s just clunky now, takes too much scrolling and tapping to do something simple like prioritize a shopping list. Love ruined into hate, sorry!

### 5/5 — Tasks

*2026-06-06, version 6.5*

I tend to find myself using this for tasks.

### 3/5 — New Changes Are Terrible

*2026-06-02, version 6.5*

I used to love navigating though this app—despite some flaws. This new update has made the app unintuitive and more stressful than doing the actual tasks. Setting an alert is unnecessarily difficult and time consuming. This app took a bad turn and is no longer the best app for productivity.

### 5/5 — veryy good app

*2026-05-15, version 6.5*

I like the aesthetic and it has helped me a lot when staying on track for my tasks wether its for an email or my studying.
