### 2/5 — Can't see dates

*2015-03-15*

App gives you info on how many days till event but it is difficult to see when actual date is. You have to swipe left or right to see date. You can only see the top 4 dates. Any thing below that, 5 and on the keypad pulls up and the dates are impossible to see.

### 4/5 — Beauty versus Speed

*2014-02-25*

By far the most aesthetically pleasing list app that I have come across. Unfortunately, it's also by far the slowest to load upon startup. Where other apps take 6-7 seconds to boot up when opened, Pronto takes a full 10-12 seconds to load. This may seem negligible, but it's important to have as quick of accessibility as possible, and when other apps sometimes are twice as fast with opening and loading all data, it doesn't matter how beautiful this one is.

---- EDIT ----
Please include some sort of backup system.

Also, noting that regardless of startup speed, this app has never crashed on me! Thank you for the impeccable stability.

### 4/5 — A useful, one-dimensional app

*2014-02-07*

This app serves one purpose and for the most part it does it pretty well in a clean attractive interface.  There are a few buggy issues but it is still on my device because it serves its one purpose very well.

### 5/5 — Great Reminder App!

*2013-07-25*

I love the simplicity and ease of using Pronto to set reminders that have multiple facets. This app makes it possible to setup reminders with dates and times that can be repeated at various intervals. I also like the outline format, because it lets me setup a main goal/reminder with more details underneath. Great app for absentminded or forgetful individuals:)

### 5/5 — Helpful app

*2013-06-13*

This app helps me stay on track with doing tasks.  It feels good that someone understood challenges others may face.  More than understanding, you did something to help us improve the quality of our life.

### 2/5 — Loved it at first, now not so much

*2013-05-05*

So far so good, I have not lost any data or had any trouble at all. In fact, so far I love it. It is much better than leaving notes in a blank page app because of the ability to check items off as you accomplish them.
Update: if there is a way to delete anything I haven't found it. It prompts you to add a date, then it "grays" out when it is past - but you can't delete it! Frustrating!

### 5/5 — THE Perfect Countdown App!!

*2013-02-11*

Simple, easy, effective and useful. Know when your favorite festivals, vacation, show, or even when that special someone is coming to visit.
The color purple is a nice touch of uniqueness to stand out. Makes it easy to find.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app.

*2013-02-01*

Super simple. Does what it advertises extremely well. Well done Createful team!

One suggestion: Allow a few different interface colors. I'm a guy, and I'd rather black, gray, blue, or orange over purple. Some ladies might prefer pink, or yellow. That's about the only change I could ask for.

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2013-01-28*

Very easy, very practical, very simple, and so so so so so so helpful!!! I use it so much!!! I've pretty much tried a million other apps but none of them helped me and they were quickly deleted. But this one works for me and is awesome!!!!!!

### 3/5 — One major feature left out

*2013-01-27*

If this app had sync support so I could work on the lists across devices and with other people this app would really pull ahead as my favorite out of the bunch. However without that feature I have to use another app. 

Also would Love to be able to choose the color instead of being forced into purple.
