### 4/5 — Good App With Great Potential

*2023-11-07, version 1.4.9*

I love this app because it is the only app so far that simulates writing on paper.  The  developer just needs to include the ability to date and save each to do list as a separate daily/weekly activity so that you can review your week or monthlong tasks to see how much you accomplished. I like the folder concepts but there should be the ability to create more folders and regroup previous task.

### 3/5 — Please please make a change

*2023-01-06*

I love this so so much however it would be so much better if the list would rotate when the iPad screen rotates. Please make the change.

### 4/5 — Great! Use it daily!

*2022-10-21*

The only thing this app needs is a functional widget!

### 1/5 — Save your bucks

*2022-01-05*

This is really not any better than using paper and pencil. No landscape view. Stick with the built-in Apple todo list.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2021-08-09*

Complete waste of money. Super glitchy and can’t edit or add very much.

### 4/5 — With a few enhancements, this would by 5 stars and I would pay $10

*2021-03-14*

I have been looking for a handwritten ToDo list like this for a while. With a few enhancements, this would get 5 stars, and I would happily pay $10.

1) Re-order todo items.
2) Expandable to do items, where you need to write more than one line.
3) Flag any todo item as important, and it appears automatically on the Important tab.
4) Change todo item background color
5) Different background designs.
6) Option to clear any completed items

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2021-01-29, version 1.4.5*

As much as I love love love writing my to do list out, it just doesn’t save all my lists.  All my data were gone suddenly.  Love this app but really need improvement.  If we could add in more tabs, would be better too.

### 4/5 — Nice simple app, but...

*2020-09-12, version 1.4.1*

I wish it would rotate to landscape. 👍😀

### 2/5 — Don’t see the way to change colouring theme. Calendar app has it

*2020-06-16, version 1.4.0*

Also, it would be useful to be able to load to dos into the calendar app.

### 5/5 — Finally a fully handwriting capable to do list

*2020-05-06, version 1.2.1*

Adding the multiple tabs makes this simple to do list manager so much more useful! Can use a as a simple GTD list manager now.
Thank you.
