### 3/5 — Shopping app

*2024-05-09, version 1.9.2*

This would be a great app if it didn’t randomly delete items off of the list.

### 3/5 — App crashing

*2020-09-04, version 1.9*

The app is crashing bad. Any suggestions???

### 4/5 — OS 13 dark view fixed

*2019-11-09, version 1.9*

Excellent app for simple practical lists
Very easy to manage lists
Dark view bug has been fixed - thx for the update
Only request would be an “undo” for accidental delete but not a big deal

### 4/5 — MVP List

*2019-11-07, version 1.9*

When will MVP List Sync between iPad and iPhone? Counter productive to maintain two separate but identical lists.

### 4/5 — Back to 4 Stars

*2019-11-05, version 1.9*

I gave MVP List 2 Stars, just a couple of days ago; due to the fact that it was useless, if you had dark mode active. They released an update, today, which fixed that problem. As I promised in my earlier review, I have taken my rating back up to 4 stars.

### 3/5 — Black

*2019-11-03, version 1.8*

Does anyone know why my screen and lists went black? I can’t see anything.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t work with iPhone update

*2019-11-03, version 1.8*

This App doesn’t work correctly if you switch to Dark Appearance Background available with iPhone update. I prefer the Dark Background and I have to switch to Light to use the App. Very inconvenient.

### 3/5 — Freezing problem

*2019-10-09, version 1.7*

Have used the app for over a year and the last week it keeps freezing up. Have reinstalled it but that didn’t help. My iPhone just did an update recently could that have anything to do with it.

### 2/5 — Ok but deletes random lines

*2019-08-07*

I don’t mind using this list app. I still use it everyday, but it will randomly delete things on your list and leave a blank line. I thought maybe if you left a line still typing and didn’t hit enter maybe that was causing it to get deleted? I started to counter this by putting a line with just a period after each item and making sure to always be on a line with a period before closing the app, but this didn’t actually work. I was just getting lucky(50/50 chance) of it deleting a line with a period instead of a line with info. I’ll keep the app for awhile but I think I’m switching to another listing app.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2019-06-29*

Very simple and easy to use app. Love almost everything about it. My only 2 concerns are: 
1. I purchased an add free version for my iPhone, but on my iPad it still has the version with adds.... does my purchase not count on other devices?
2. Is there a way to synchronize the app on the phone and tablet?

### 4/5 — Almost Perfect....

*2019-06-05, version 1.7*

I love that this app is so simple and that it doesn’t have a million functions.   I just want to check off my lists.  BUT - some of my lists are long (Costco!) And I would REALLY love the ability to alphabetize my lists.   This feature would make it perfect.

### 2/5 — Things Get Deleted

*2019-03-21, version 1.7*

I used to love this app but it stopped working. I started to notice that I’d go to check my shopping list or to do list and there’s be blank lines where whatever I had written got randomly deleted. This app’s supposed to help me remember things. How can I remember if the app is deleting my reminders?

### 4/5 — Great app

*2018-11-23*

So easy to use. I use it to track my bills, it’s easy to sort and check off items then send to notes for long term storage. I wish that the list in the app could be shared within other iOS devices that have this app installed so that I can track with either iPad and or iPhones that I have using my iCloud acct.

### 1/5 — Time to move on

*2025-10-06*

I’ve been using this app for years. However, recently I have started having an issue with list items disappearing. They had not yet been marked complete but when I open a list, many times one or two items are missing that were there previously. It seems to be happening more frequently as time goes on. Very frustrating - I guess it’s time to find a new app.

### 1/5 — Deletes items regularly

*2024-09-23, version 1.9.2*

Deletes the last few lines of text on lists all the time

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2020-07-07, version 1.9*

? Keeps crashing

### 1/5 — Version 1.8 is not good

*2019-11-03, version 1.8*

Can’t view titles. No settings available to change view. Previous version was good.

### 1/5 — Recent update problem

*2019-11-02, version 1.8*

Unfortunately my absolute favorite list app just changed something :( in the most recent update you can now NOT have your iPhone in Dark mode and use the app. It changes the app to make it unreadable so you have to change back to the original light mode to use and view the app. Hope they fix it soon! Love the app!

### 1/5 — Update messed up app.

*2019-11-01, version 1.8*

I have an iPhone 7 with the most recent update of 13.2 something. 
Since the update you can’t see the line items and the screen is all black. It’s unusable. 
Please fix this.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work On Dark Mode

*2019-11-01*

I love this app, I use it for everything. However my iPhone is on Dark Mode and the recent update of this app has rendered it useless. When I pull it up all the writing is missing. It’s just a blank black space with the white ‘paper lines’. I know the words are still there only because I use emojis at the beginning and end of each title, but I can’t see them. Please fix this!! I don’t want to have to find another list app!!

### 1/5 — Was great but not anymore

*2019-11-01, version 1.8*

Was a great app for all the lists of stuff I make for different stores but after the latest update it went completely black and you can’t read anything you had written! And there is no app support and when you go to settings there are just a bunch of lines and again you can’t see anything! Deleting it and finding a new app to use

### 1/5 — Pointless alternative to Apple Notes

*2019-04-10*

There’s almost no point to this app. Any list you create here you can create just as easily in Apple Notes and also share them with friends. Sure, you can sort the list by checked items in this app but not in Apple Notes, but this app offers no organizational tools at all. It’s just one endless list. In Apple Notes you can add text headings for aisle, store section, or anything else to organize your list.

Personally, I think organizing a list by aisle or store section is far more useful when shopping than sorting by checkmarks that you can already plainly see.

There are far better grocery apps out there or you can just use Apple Notes. No point in downloading this app just to see their ads.

### 1/5 — Please answer your support emails.. how do I import a list from another phone?

*2018-03-13, version 1.7*

So if I get a new phone I can’t import lists from my old phone to your same app on my new phone? If so how?? Sent 2 or 3 emails no one ever responds. I PAID you for this app, transfer lists amongst devices should be a pretty basic functionality

### 5/5 — Simple, Functional, Easy

*2025-05-14*

I’ve been using this app for years. It’s not fashionable to say, but not every app needs to have wiz-bang glitz, a dozen indispensable life hacks and the ability to launch nuclear weapons. Simple tasks should have simple apps. This app allows me to create lists, rearrange their contents and check things off. It does what it should, and it doesn’t bug me by being “new and improved” (and more confusing and bloatier) every 6 weeks. It’s perfect for its purpose.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2023-05-08*

I love this list and use it daily for everything! The only change I would recommend is the option to share/edit with another that also has the list. My crochet group keeps track of orders/stock using List and it would be so nice to be able to edit our inventory with a ‘connected’ list option. Other than that, this is genius! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Love this list app

*2021-03-31, version 1.9.1*

It’s simple!   It’s exactly like having a notebook and writing things down. Been using it for 6 months and love it!

### 5/5 — 2021 Perfect App

*2021-01-09*

This is exactly what I was looking for. A super minimal app to simply make a checklist of things to bring on the plane, etc. No having to set up notifications and all that other junk when you’re just trying to quickly add something to your list.

### 5/5 — It’s a very good list I found yet.

*2020-05-03*

I needed to make a list of all the anime I watched and haven’t watched but when I got a new phone and tried to get the list again it was lost and I lost 400 anime’s I’ve watched and now I gotta do the list all over again. Other than that it’s the best tbh..

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2020-01-06, version 1.9*

Simple. Just lists. Nothing fancy which is just what I wanted. Love to ability to text or email my lists and reorder them.

### 5/5 — Best list App

*2019-04-12*

I’m horribly unfocused. I will get lost in a store for 3 hours. I’ve downloaded a couple of list apps to help me organize my time. Since I’ve found this one I deleted the other two. I can make as many lists as I need, name all the lists, make categories of items. I love couponing, so this is a must i can even put the discount amount next to the item so I can match it with my coupon. I even have a list of stuff to do before I leave the house or do before I eat lunch. If I don’t only half will get done. I’m not great with technology and this is so easy to use. Once I’m done with my list I delete it. I would suggest this to everyone.

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2018-11-28, version 1.7*

I really like this app it helps me make all of my list

### 5/5 — Perfecto

*2018-09-05*

The simplest, most basic list app I could find. Hence, absolutely perfect. If you’re looking for a no-frills list app that refuses to get in your way with complicated graphs, colors, and sharing to myriad calendars, yada yada, you’ve found it. If you keep it basic (groceries, to-dos, books to read, songs to learn, whatever) this is one list app you’ll likely actually check! Has fulfilled its purpose of helping my simple needs find some semblance of organization and has REALLY helped rid my countertop of a hundred 3x5 cards. No glitches, either. Smooth runner. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Simple and easy to use

*2018-07-19, version 1.7*

I have tried several lists, but they get so complex that to enter item you have to fill so many fields, they become cumbersome.  This one is just simple and links w my watch. 
Love it
