Love this App!

I've been using this app for many years. It's clean, well designed, syncs automatically & instantly via dropbox to my iPhone, iPad, & Mac, and works very well. I keep all my notes and checklists in it. Thanks, James!

How can this app not have a Find feature??

This is a bare-bones list app. How bare-bones? If I have a list that has dozens of entries, I have to scroll through it each time to search for a particular item.

And why do I have to do that?

BECAUSE THIS APP HAS NO “FIND.”

It’s incomprehensible to me, but there you have it. I’ve searched high and low in the documents I’ve made and cannot find that option. And let’s face it: I shouldn’t have to search high and low in an app to locate a feature as basic and essential as “Find.”

So, unless you’re content with what’s, basically, a featureless list maker, move on. There are many other options on the App Store.

Highly recommend

Love this app. It’s a bit playful which is sorely lacking in most recent apps created by developers. Though I have my regular (much more expensive) app to track my longer term goals, progress and lists, I use this app for my ‘ToDay’ list, grocery list and other short term lists. It brings a smile to my face every time I open it.

Love!

LOVE THIS! I've tried others and always go back... Organized my brain all day everyday!

So irritating!! Do not upgrade to full version!!!!!

I was using the free Paperless Lite version for years and I loved it. I had all my lists full of information in it. I recently got a new phone and when I restored from iCloud none of my items were there. The free version didn’t give me any way to back up the information. So I paid the $2.99 for the full version so I could sync/use drop box. Imagine my frustration when the full version kept none of my lists. I can’t find anywhere in the help section on how to get my information back. So I went to my old phone. Info gone there too. Restored my old phone from a backup from 2 days before I got the new phone. Information still all gone. I reached out to App Support. HOPEFULLY someone will get back to me on how to get all my info back.
If you have the free version and are even thinking of upgrading it, take pictures/screenshots of all of your information so you do not lose it.

Can’t be saved in iCloud (???)

Really liked this App after downloading it and was about to purchase the full version for $2.99.

HOWEVER, I checked to be sure that I could save my data in iCloud.

Imagine my surprise when I found out some users lost ALL their data using your free dropbox for backup & syncing. Why would you not make it so we could back it up in the iCloud instead (or better yet, in addition to backup in the dropbox)?

I cannot afford, after laying out ALL I have to accomplish, for that to happen. It would be crippling.

Seems having both ways for backup would offer maximum protection. Can you explain why saving to iCloud is not an option?

If iCloud backup was included, I would make the purchase AND give the App a 5.0 rating.

PLEASE GET BACK WITH ME IN CASE I AM MISSING SOMETHING.

CAN NOT UPGRADE

I started with the lite version and decided to upgrade. Purchased the version because it said my list would be copied. Was not. Developer now wants me to use a new app he developed at a higher price. STAY AWAY. You lose your prior work and there is no place to go.

Simple & functional

I love this app! I love that it is simple and i love that it has a starry night theme that is free! Ive been looking for a simple to do app with cute themes and ive finally found one! Thank you to whoever made this app! It helps me so much!

Love it!!😁

This app is great!! I highly recommend it. It’s very helpful 4 me and I don’t have 2 write a list and then forget it. 😁👍

Good app

I was looking for an app that I could make checklists on for grocery shopping, etc. This app is perfect for me.

Worthless

You can only have thirty items total on al combined lists before it forces you to purchase the app. At that point it's annoying to lose lists you've started. Total bait and switch.

Helpful.

I'm pleased with the app. I am able to define my individual entries in ways I couldn't do before.
I really like having icons identify each topic. They make it quick and easy to select the correct list.
I know that having over 400 icons seems like a lot, but I find myself longing for more. Some are repetitive and others do not address the particular subject as well as I would like them to.
Otherwise, good job.

DONT BUY IT! If u buy a new phone, they make u buy it again!

DONT BUY IT! If u buy a new phone, they make u buy it again! I've been using this app for a long time. I liked it so much that I bought the paid version was great until I bought the iPhone 7 a few months ago. Now it won't let me download the paid app unless I purchase it all over again. I'm on my same Apple ID and same iCloud account so what's the problem? This is not ok. I bought the app fair and square like I'm supposed to BUT because they've had a few "updates" such as bug fixes, not new features....NOT new versions ....simple little updates only .... and because I now have an iphone 7 instead of iPhone 6, I must purchase the app (AGAIN). NO WAY! I'll find another list app, not like there's not a ton out there.

Easy to use, pleasant to look at, and well made all around.

Making new lists is easy and straightforward. The huge list of icons to add to the title of your lists is convenient and makes finding the list you want just that much quicker. It has a very clean look that is refreshing after seeing some other apps that make a list seem complicated. Overall it's very well done.

Side note: love the example story line.

The GOLD Standard for Notes & Lists.

6 STARS. I've scoured the store (now you don't have to). This app, IMO, is by a healthy amount, THE BEST app for filing (and locking, if you wish to) notes and lists.

Oh sure, you'll want to have other notepads (hint: Tasku), broad task planners (I like "TaskCat"; but this is largely personal preference), a calendar (hint: "Moca"), and a short term task planner (hint: "Do it Tomorrow"). BUT; You'll want to have this secure "Paperless" app on your home screen.

The nice thing about this app is that you'll be able to use the "Lite" version for a long, long while before you fill it up with notes/lists. Then, you'll come around to buying the full version and the developer of this outstanding app will get paid for his work. Simply try it; I challenge you to find and name another notetaker/listmaker that tops this one. [You won't find one.] I know I sound a bit arrogant here, but it's only to help many shoppers save the time (that I lost!). Cheers, and please leave good suggestions of your own about other apps at the app store. It helps me when shopping!

So happy with this!

I have been using Paperless Lite for a while and just decided to upgrade since I'd hit the 30-item limit in the lite version. I was initially dismayed when I opened the paid version is just installed to see that none of my lists were there. I thought I'd have to start over, or at least email all my lists to myself to import to the full version. But when I went back to Lite, I found a "Transfer Lists to Paperless" button in the settings. One click and within half a second all my lists were in the full version, organized just as I'd left them. It was a beautiful thing. (Should have been a normal thing, but not all apps do that this well!) the only feature currently on my wish list is the ability to attach an alarm to an item that might be particularly important to get done on time. I realize I can do that through my calendar, but I'd rather use one app rather than two for this.

Excellent, simple, intuitive

I have tried countless To Do apps. All are far too complex and always have that nasty learning curve to overcome. I dont want countless fancy colors, countless folders and files and swipes and taps. I just want a list app that i can punch in a simple reminder list. Everything is so complicated these days, sheesh!

Not so w Paperless Lite. I really like this app!! It's do simple that even a crazy busy person like me can use it. Right now I'm using the free version and it seems good enough for me. Thumbs up!

A much less refined 'Clear'

I'm all for the simple, minimal, priority-driven, uncomplicated list/todo apps. But this one wastes your time in icon land, and is one layer deep, which is totally great, except Clear does it much better, smoother, and more quickly, and you have the option to tack on a simple reminder alarm if needed. I don't need any icons. This is so cumbersome in comparison. I will say the notes function is a plus, but is slightly counter-intuitive to the concept and workflow of the app: quick and adaptive flexibility. Notes don't fit. An alarm does.

Love this

This is a great app for keeping lists that you re-use. I use it for my travel packing list.
When I need to pack again, I can un-check all items on the and I can start checking my packed items again. Even use it for my extensive Christmas shopping list. Once I have finished shopping for a person, they get checked and my list only shows who I have left.

Great substitute for Springpad

With the demise of my favorite list-making app (and more), Springpad, I was forced to search for another list making app, so I went back to the selections I had made before I had discovered Springpad. Evernote was the recommended substitute, but I prefer an app that easily enables me to tap and drag items around to reorder them.
I just tested out this app again, and found out that not only can you intuitively tap and drag items around; you can automatically alphabetized them!
This will be my go-to app for making checklists now. Hopefully there will be additional features in the future (or in the paid version?).
