### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-01-29, version 1.04*

I love the minimal design and the overall free nature of it. Will be sure to tip the creator! This is how free apps should be.

### 5/5 — LOVE

*2020-01-28, version 1.04*

This app is everything I’ve been looking for! It’s extremely easy to use & I love how it prohibits you from adding more talks until you’ve completed what you already have listed. This simple strategy really WORKS at making sure a procrastinator like me actually gets up & acts! I love it! Please don’t ever change the simple, non distracting, minimalist design! I also don’t mind at all that it’s not a note taking, generalized list app. I use another app for all of my list making & then I go into this app to actually get them checked off & done for the day! I love how this is a separate app because it has a very specific & unique function that no other list apps have! Thank you so much!

### 5/5 — Fun way to remember

*2020-01-24, version 1.04*

I love lists they help me look at my day and get things done I love this app

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2020-01-16, version 1.04*

Beautifully designed and very helpful,

Now about that Apple Watch app.......

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-01-11, version 1.03*

Continue with the great work!

### 5/5 — Sorted

*2020-01-07, version 1.03*

The app is simple, to the point( just what you need) make a list, send reminders and mark things done!
loving it so fAr!

### 5/5 — Helped me be honest with myself

*2020-01-05, version 1.02*

I’ve used so many task tracking apps, and I always overload them, let them grow disorganized, shove too many things into the “Today” tab, and then abandon them.

This app kind of forces you to fill it up in the morning, and you try to clear it out by the end of the day. At least that’s how I use it.

Initial impression is that it’s helping me be honest with myself about what I can actually do today. And also, I feel motivated to “clean my plate” by the end of the day.

### 1/5 — No confiable

*2026-01-02, version 1.30*

Se borran los tasks aunque no los marque como terminados!!!!

### 2/5 — This app has gotten worse

*2023-05-20, version 1.3*

You used to be able to set reminders for things on a specific day and time, and now you’re completely limited to only things for today. Wild that they updated it to make it a worse app

### 2/5 — Crashes when trying to change themes

*2020-08-19, version 1.15*

Unstable and crashes when trying to change the theme. I don’t know if I want to spend the time putting info in if I can’t trust the app to be stable. 😕

### 3/5 — Almost there...

*2020-08-22, version 1.15*

It has white on white lettering while typing text....hard to edit, then when finished it turns black and is ok! It crashes from time to time on iphone xsmax! I would like to reorder my list, and add extra lines that populate the main list after deleting  others. The UI is a bit hard to navigate,  but I love this app...a few more fixes and it will be very popular!

### 3/5 — Great idea

*2020-01-23, version 1.04*

But you still have to use another app to manage your tasks and lists. So that complicated things off the bat. It would be nice if you could at least have an inbox to add ad hock tasks as you thing of them and be above to choose the 7 you wanted to do for that day.

### 4/5 — So many glitches on iPad

*2020-08-19, version 1.15*

When you open settings on iPad, it shows a blank screen and I need to tap the “settings” button to go to settings. Also, when I click the app icons, it inky shows in column until I swipe left on the menu.

### 4/5 — Like the functionality. Lacking features.

*2020-01-31, version 1.04*

While I enjoy the simplicity of this app and it's widget feature is great. It only allows you up to 7 items on the list. Wish it were higher and more free backgrounds is a must! Also, pictures should be able to be attached to your individual "task listing". All-in-all, a really useful app for those with only a few important things to do.

### 4/5 — Love it!

*2020-01-23, version 1.04*

Beautifully made and helpful to clear your head of low priority tasks. Would love to be able to reorder the list though! If this is added I will definitely upgrade for the themes too :)

### 5/5 — Super Simple 🌟

*2024-08-13*

Super simple list that lets you check off easily - exactly what I was looking for!!!

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing that! :D

### 5/5 — Loving this app

*2021-01-11, version 1.15*

Helps to keep me Focused

## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Beautiful app

*2020-10-06, version 1.15*

Very beautiful and simple app
I love it 👍

### 5/5 — I actually got stuff done and not feel dread when opening this app

*2020-08-30, version 1.15*

I don’t feel drained and the pressure is off. The limit of 7 makes what’s listed is the most important that you want to complete.

### 5/5 — Focus!

*2020-08-23, version 1.15*

This app is a tremendous help in focusing on what is most important to get done. 🙂

### 5/5 — Wow

*2020-08-23, version 1.15*

Seriously. Thanks.

### 5/5 — MUCH IMPROVED

*2020-08-21, version 1.15*

Way better than the 2.

### 5/5 — Love this app and concept!

*2020-05-09*

I’ve just started using the app but I’m optimistic that a to-do list with limits will make me more productive!

### 5/5 — This app is great!

*2020-03-22, version 1.14*

This app is great! It has helped me improve getting the things I need to get done, done. I feel accomplished being able to eliminate tasks from a list, and just watch is disappear, it makes you feel good about yourself for completing tasks! Probably the best app for completing tasks.

### 5/5 — Keeps getting better!

*2020-02-05, version 1.06*

I found this app through reddit and fell in love. Its simple, elegant design is perfect to focus and complete the important stuff.

I would like to see an option for refreshing reminders daily. Maybe it could repopulate with the daily notification? 

Or maybe it’s perfect as is, just a thought :)
