I would love to use this for its nice ux, but this makes it unbearable currently. Yes we all know iCloud is slow, but e.g. OmniOutliner handles this way better. ### 1/5 — одни документы😭 *2024-01-16* здравствуйте, приложение обман, нельзя ничего установить(например нулсс бравл, тикток мод), значит скам. Не рекомендую. ### 1/5 — Looks great! Loses data. *2021-06-21* It's literally only 1 star because it loses issues' names randomly when just browsing your issues. Permanent data loss just by reading your tracker. 0 utility at the moment, but I'll keep it installed hopeing for an update with a fix. **Developer response:** Hi Don Data loss is the most frustrating kind of bug, and I completely rearchitected a core component in the latest update (v1.0.2) to fix this issue along multiple axes. I hope you find the current version a more solid & reliable experience. Feel free to reach out to feedback@highcaffeinecontent.com if you have any follow-up! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2021-06-09* It doesn’t open the last used file by default, but my main concern is that I created a test list of two items. Closed it, opened it, all okay, added a half dozen more. Closed it. Went back later to add more, only the original two items are there. Tried again, a dozen items added, closed it, opened it, yep just the original two. 🙁 **Developer response:** Hi Mark! I completely rearchitected a core component in the latest update (v1.0.2) to fix this issue — the UI was becoming disconnected from the data store in certain situations; I hope you find the current version a more solid & reliable experience. Feel free to reach out to feedback@highcaffeinecontent.com if you have any follow-up! ### 4/5 — Helpful little app *2026-07-27* Great little app for simple issue tracking.
