## What is Pocket Lists?

Pocket Lists is a beautifully designed to-do list app for making checklists, focusing on important tasks, sharing & collaborating on to-do lists and tasks with friends and family. The app excels as both an everyday personal to-do list organizer with sophisticated reminder functionality, and as a family collaboration app for groceries, travel packing, Christmas lists, gift ideas, vacation planning, and more.

You’ll love Pocket Lists for being powerful yet surprisingly easy to use. The app’s feature set makes it a superb replacement for most checklist and to-do list apps, including the stock Reminders app:

• Sync your to-do lists across all your devices for free.

• Share to-do lists and collaborate on tasks with friends, family, and teammates. Sharing a list is as easy as sending a link.

• Personalize your to-do lists with a variety of beautiful icons and cover images for all sorts of things. 400+ awesome colorful icons included!

• To-do Stream: a dynamic to-do list (filter) that collects to-dos among all your checklists, and displays them in the priority & due order, allowing you to focus on what’s important right now.

• All types of to-do reminders: due date, due time, repeating, and location-based — drop pin anywhere on a map, select either “arrive to” or “leave from”, and even define a location radius.

• Set due reminders by typing naturally: “Meeting tomorrow morning”, “Car service Saturday 7pm”, “Prepare Christmas gift list on dec 20 every year”, “Cinema Friday night” and so on. The app automatically understands due date from your input, and sets a reminder.

• Calendar view: rotate your iPhone into landscape mode to see all your scheduled to-dos in a monthly calendar layout.

• Import to-dos and events from stock Reminders and Calendar apps.

• And a lot more:

— Priorities & Notes for to-do items,
— To-do item search,
— Quick inline to-do add,
— Support for #hashtags,
— Dark Mode,
— Archiving feature for hiding certain checklists,
— Copy & Paste add of multiple to-dos at a time,
— Send checklists via email,
— Duplicate and re-use checklists when needed,
— Use dividers to visually group to-dos within big checklists.

Plus an awesome bundle of premium features available as an optional auto-renewable in-app subscription or a one-time purchase:

+ Web App that allows you to work with your checklists using any desktop computer,
+ Subtasks: easily divide big tasks into smaller to-dos,
+ Superpriorities (+3 priority levels): mark particular to-dos as urgent, critical, or not important,
+ Private lists: lock particular to-do lists with passcodes and unlock with Touch ID or Face ID,
+ Custom repeat controls: set to-do repeat intervals and frequencies flexibly,
+ Apple Watch app: use Pocket Lists on your wrist without even taking an iPhone out of a pocket,
+ Custom icons for to-do lists,
+ File attachments: attach files and photos to any to-do items,
+ Per-list and per-priority sound alert customization.

The premium feature set is available as either monthly and yearly subscription or as a one-time purchase. Payment will be charged to your iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period. Account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period, and identify the cost of the renewal. Any unused portion of a free trial period will be forfeited when a subscription to that publication is purchased. Subscriptions may be managed and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the Account Settings after purchase.

### 3/5 — App has deteriorated

*2026-08-02, version 2.11.4*

This app used to be amazing but over the last year or so it has deteriorated which isn’t good considering you pay for it

### 5/5 — 最高➖

*2026-05-14, version 2.11.4*

使いやすいし、わかりやすーい

### 1/5 — Не синхронизируется с данными сайта

*2026-04-09, version 2.11.4*

Сайт перестал работать, в приложении из-за этого не авторизоваться.

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2026-04-08, version 2.11.4*

I’m so irritated as a lifetime member of this app (and my husband too). It’s constantly stuck on updating mode, and when it does finally finish, my most important lists are missing. There is no customer support and no recent updates to fix the bugs. I tried to stay. Money wasted. Looking for recommendations for a better app.

### 1/5 — Хорошее приложение, но есть нюанс.

*2026-04-07, version 2.11.4*

«Если бы кто нибудь предупредил, что при удаление приложения с телефона будут и удалены все файлы с телефона (из папки Pocketlist в файлах), которые были добавлены в приложение к созданным спискам - было бы здорово знать это заранее, но как водится такой информации нет, все узнается империческим путем»

Ваш сырой продукт в моменте просто заглючил и приложение стало закрываться через секунду после открытия на телефоне с последней установленной iOS 26.04, при этом за последние три года такого поведения приложения не наблюдалось.

Конечно надо было делать резервные копии, но всем кто захочет в будущем приобрести этот продукт, следует знать, что все созданные и добавленные файлы в приложение к спискам, будут удалены без возможности восстановления, никакая синхронизация не помогает…. На моем примере я потерял три года информации, которая собиралась в течение этого времени.

Наверное было бы лучше предусмотреть при удаление приложение с телефона - сохранение папки pockelist со всеми вложениями, для возможности решения на стороне пользователя: удалить вручную папку с телефона за ее ненадобностью, или повторное ее использование при переустановке приложения. На мой взгляд (опыт работы в IT - 13 лет, это недоработка продукта) и никакие отговорки про ограничения тут неприемлемы, все можно реализовать так или иначе. 

Странно конечно, почему так реализовано…

### 1/5 — 更新した内容が勝手に消える

*2026-03-02, version 2.11.4*

追加したタスクや、直近で入れたメモがごっそり消えて、完了にしたタスクも元に戻っていて、1時間前くらいの状態に戻っている。ということが3度くらいあった。もう使いません、、、

### 2/5 — Da aggiornare

*2026-02-25, version 2.11.4*

Sarebbe un’ottima applicazione, purtroppo non viene aggiornata da 3 anni e va costantemente in crash quando si aggiungono promemoria. Inaffidabile.

### 1/5 — Приложение плохо работает

*2026-02-13, version 2.11.4*

После приобретения годовой подписки выполненные задачи перестали скрываться! Если закрыть приложение и снова открыть – задачи будут висеть невыполненными. Не сохраняются новые задачи, не приходят важные напоминания!( Приложение не рекомендую! Требую вернуть деньги за подписку.

### 2/5 — Very glitchy

*2026-02-05, version 2.11.4*

I thought I found the perfect app for what I was looking for, a reminders app I can keep separate from Apple reminders which notifies me of all my daily tasks. But it’s just progressively gotten more glitchy, frequently bringing back tasks multiple times after marking them as completed, and not clearing out the list of completed tasks at the bottom. It’s a shame because I was loving this app, but I can’t use it anymore.

### 2/5 — Так і не змогла покористуватися

*2026-01-20, version 2.11.4*

Абсолютно неможливо навіть створити швидко перший список. Якщо інтерфейс надто складний, це недолік програми, я не маю сидіти розбиратись по 30 хв як зробити елементарне😒
