### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY IF YOU HAVE IPHONE5

*2014-03-12*

Unless the makers change something the app DOES NOTHING b/c it has not been updated to new version of Dropbox. BUYER BEWARE! Negative one star

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2013-03-15*

Simple to use and very effective in keeping me organized.  I've tried multiple apps and most were too detailed/ complicated for my needs.  This gem keeps my personal life and two businesses organized so I don't forget the details in life

### 4/5 — Simple but useful

*2013-01-15*

I Love If you can add a star to important tasks, is the only thing I need and recognize other folders in Dropbox. I think it's very nice idea and I send a greeting to the author of this really nice and useful piece of software :) only this things and will be perfect

### 2/5 — What the Heck...

*2012-12-28*

Installed then 3 minutes later...uninstalled. Too much work from the get go. I need a quick list maker not something I have to fiddle around with. Too much to start going.

### 5/5 — Just awesome

*2012-10-07*

Very easu to use and customizeable

### 4/5 — Ah, simplicity

*2012-06-03*

Finally a list app that is as simple as can be. The Dropbox-based cloud syncing is also simple and elegant. My only beef is that the characters "/" and ":" are, for some reason, not allowed -- characters which I frequently want to use in list items. Fix that and this is an easy 5-star.

### 5/5 — Does what it says

*2012-03-29*

I was looking for a simple checklist maker. Found it! Not reminders or alarms but just a simple checklist maker. A list I can "check off" as I get r done. Does what I need and does it well. And I like that I can customize the color and background! And it is free. Nuf said.

### 5/5 — Great list maker

*2012-03-15*

I do house fix ups and with the way this let's us communicate between myself and my superintendent we can always be modifying our house lists and both can know when items are completed. I wish it could sort finished items from non finished but other than that this is a great organizer.

### 5/5 — "I Just Absolutely Live This Appy!" Try It U Will Luv It Too!" -E

*2011-12-03*

Tri It you will enjoy it! ; ) _E

### 2/5 — Too simple...

*2011-11-14*

It is so simple, and yet it took me randomly poking the screen for five minutes before I figured out how to delete and edit the front page. I want simple, but... I dunno. Give me a delete and edit button! I am guessing I will stop using this before the week is up.
