### 2/5 — Deletes what I’ve added!

*2024-08-07, version 4.0.9*

This app constantly deletes what I have added and I have to add it back. It’s so frustrating and I am ready to find a better app

### 3/5 — Good ... 'til now

*2023-10-06, version 4.0.8*

I've used this app for years and like it. It does what it's intended to, keep lists.

Lately, though, it's slowed down and sometimes made unusable by a persistent to upgrade to the premium backup.

Deleting the app and reinstalling it are too chancy, so I'm looking for an alternative list app.

### 3/5 — Potential for improvement

*2022-02-19, version 4.0.8*

Like the list app, but it doesn’t keep your order, you can’t sort or create subcategories which I would prefer as an organized shopper. And I can’t search the list for an item so I have duplicates because you can’t sort the list.

### 2/5 — Makes me appreciate Apple Reminders

*2021-08-28, version 4.0.6*

This app looked cool and has some decent design features, but it crashes all the time (latest iPhone/iOS as of the writing of this review) and takes what you’ve typed with it to the netherworld. The location based reminder didn’t work the way I expected it either.
What this app did do was make me take a new look at Apple’s Reminders app, which I dismissed in the past, and realize that it now does everything I want and more.

### 1/5 — Ерунда

*2019-12-08*

Купил и снёс. Русификация кривая и через раз. Вообще не понял, как это может быть полезным

### 4/5 — 思いついた事をサクサクと

*2019-11-08*

スピーディーに記録できる、そこが一番の評価点です。手書きに近い早さ！
時間や重要度など、細かい設定などは後でいいのに、それをしないと次に進めないメモアプリが多い。
そんな事やってるうちに、「あれ、何書こうと思ったんだっけ？」と思いついた事を忘れてしまう短期記憶が弱い自分には最高のアプリです！
欲を言えば、1画面に9つしか表示出来ず、スワイプしないとどんな事を幾つ書いたか分からないのが、面倒。視覚的に全体像を把握したい。文字と1ブロックの大きさ、タイトル以外を省略、などが個人で設定できて、書いたこと全部をホームと同じ形式で（かつ1画面に全部）俯瞰できたら最高です！字が小さいのはタップしたら（Google earth的に）ズームになる感じで。素人なのでかなり無理を言ってるかもですが、もしこれが叶ったらこのアプリ一本にして課金してもいい。もちろん星5つで。

### 1/5 — It’s not so good

*2019-10-26, version 4.0.4*

It’s not as simple and easy 
They need to add a tutorial on how to use it

### 4/5 — Пойдет

*2019-10-15*

Отредактируйте русский перевод

### 2/5 — 软件汉化不完整

*2019-10-14*

软件汉化不完整，需继续改进！

### 1/5 — Fecha sozinho !

*2019-07-28*

Aplicativo fecha sem mais sem menos perdendo tudo que havia sido digitado

### 1/5 — subscription slavery

*2019-05-16, version 4.0.3*

i downloaded it because i heard there was a sale. but then i deleted it because i found out there's a subscription.

### 1/5 — Too confusing

*2019-05-16, version 4.0.3*

With all kits bells and whistles I can’t see how to simply add an item after 10 minutes. Junk pile.

### 2/5 — Wenn dann alles in einer Sprache

*2019-04-27*

Ich finde es schon merkwürdig das wenn deutsch und andere Sprachen genannt werden dann sollte es so sein. Nicht so die hier.

### 4/5 — Nice design but very buggy

*2019-04-22, version 4.0.3*

I like this app a lot but the sink uses Google instead of iCloud which does not work very well. Overall the app has an outstanding design however I wish the boxes wrapped instead of scroll.Reminders in due date are difficult to delete and sometimes don’t delete. If the developer good work out the bugs this app would be one of the best ever.

### 3/5 — Приходят уведомления

*2019-04-21*

Все задачи удалил, а напоминание все равно каждый день приходит

### 1/5 — Reverse last update PLEASE

*2019-04-12, version 4.0.2*

This app was so much better before the last update. Now there is no way to move items up and down except for deleting them all together. And if I check off all the items on one list the whole list disappears and I have to start all over again. Please put it back the way it was

### 1/5 — I want my money back

*2024-09-28, version 4.0.9*

This doesn’t do what it’s supposed to and I want my money back

### 1/5 — Rearranges folders on you )-:

*2024-05-20, version 4.0.9*

Everything about the post it notes is appealing EXCEPT 1 important thing. The thing that makes it not useable is that the app rearranges your folders in a different order and doesn’t leave them in order you organized them, which makes it not useable because it now is no longer organized in way that helps you. Ugh . Wish they would just leave the order bc then this app would be great tool. Otherwise is not. Other reviews mentioned same thing

### 1/5 — Unable to restore my purchases

*2022-11-03, version 4.0.8*

I originally got the full version of this. I now have a new cellphone but does not allow me to restore my purchases.

Yes, I am using the same account that was used at the time I got the full version.

The Restore button is either unresponsive or my purchases got lost for no reason. Argh!

### 1/5 — Hopeless app

*2022-03-07*

Very hopeless UI👎

### 1/5 — Geht nicht

*2022-02-21*

Keine Benachrichtigungen zum Termin

### 1/5 — Enough ads! And Needs an update

*2020-10-08, version 4.0.6*

I love this is app, have been using it for years. 

But come on, enough with pushing your subscription! Every single time I open the app?! After years of using it, I feel like not using it or even deleting it bc the subscription is being pushed onto me instead of notifying me once & letting me decide! And I just want quick access to my lists..! 

Also some bugs remain...:

However I am STILL unable to view all of my lists if I put more than 3 in a row..one list will go missing! I am aware of the side swipe feature, but one list will be unable to be viewed unless moved to another row..! 

& also, previously the order of the lists in a row could be changed, now you have to drag them to a different row & manipulate them that way which takes forever. 

Please fix these glitches!!

Thanks for your time. 

(Will update review if results are seen)

### 1/5 — No support

*2020-08-15, version 4.0.6*

No seems to be supporting this app.

### 1/5 — Not for me

*2020-05-20, version 4.0.4*

Unintuitive & manual disorganized!

### 1/5 — Was a good app UNTIL the last update

*2020-01-05, version 4.0.4*

Prior to the update, swiping right was an intuitive way to mark a task as completed, while preserving the user-created order of tasks.  This was very useful for repetitive tasks like grocery shopping, as items could be marked complete according to store layout, for example.  A recent update now uses a check mark method, moving completed tasks to the bottom of the list and therefore changing the order of the list.  This creates jumbled list items which hardly useful, if at all.  After several years of using this as my preferred app for creating shopping and to-do lists, I’ve basically stopped using it due to the recent update which  changes the preferred order of items on my lists.

### 1/5 — Not as drscribed

*2019-12-23, version 4.0.4*

I am trying, even watched the Youtube videos, but I can’t get this app to do what they describe. It does not look the same or do what they show. Has it fallen behind in the iOs chase? Or only really works with a subscription? Feeling cheated, but willing to try again if I just missed some vital clue. Instructions beyond the single static page would be helpful.

### 5/5 — Have used for a Few Years

*2024-08-20, version 4.0.9*

It creates simple to-do lists, but it does it very well and Find myself always using it. 
Has does minor updates but a couple of features would have it even better. 

1) Subtasks w/ ability to have a smaller                     text  for those subtasks. 

2) Be able to decrease line spacing

But overall a great little app!!

### 5/5 — Why force the backup when I don’t want it?

*2023-09-24, version 4.0.8*

I’ve been using this app for years, to create a to do list. It’s simple and does its job. But the latest update makes me want to delete it - it pushes for its backup services every time I open the app and forces you to go through 3 steps to say NO. Every time. I don’t need it and should be able to say it once and for all. Orderly has turned desperate and shameless.

### 5/5 — Intuitive App

*2022-06-23*

This App is amazing and easy to use. Classic look and syncs with my other devices instantly. It has a unique look. Must try App.

### 5/5 — Perfection

*2021-09-05, version 4.0.6*

I love how this app looks. It’s so easy to use and just tack notes on. It’s like a fridge on my phone. It’s great for my daily work tasks too. It’s all in the same spot, which I love. Amazing app and I have tried countless organizer apps.

### 5/5 — Wonderful!

*2018-10-03, version 3.2.5*

Orderly has been a joy to use and has helped me learn to manage my household after retirement. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Just okay

*2018-10-01, version 3.2.5*

It works well, no immediate problems.  I would say abit above average.  For me,  would be nice to have a per line delete option.
Also, would be nice to print an individual To Do list.

### 5/5 — Very impressive!

*2018-09-29, version 3.2.5*

One of the best application. Easy to use, nice clean layout, highly recommend- try it and you will love it!!!

### 5/5 — Доработки

*2018-09-05*

Приложение отличное, не есть недочеты.
Необходимо расширит button так как не видно суммы полной при покупки премиума.

### 5/5 — Amazing App!

*2018-05-13, version 3.2.4*

This is an amazingly good app for organizing, sorting and prioritizing.
