## What is Simple Lists +?

Simple, easy-to-use design helps you keep track of your grocery lists, shopping lists, checklists, packing lists, to-do lists, and more.

Tap items off your shopping list on your wrist and leave your iPhone in your pocket.

Free for a limited time to celebrate the Apple Watch!

iPhone & Apple Watch Features:
+ Quickly add previous items back to the active list.
+ Unlimited lists.
+ Share lists by text or email.
+ Multi-line item names.

### 1/5 — working

*2025-11-15*

Bummer, the best ever list but suddenly stopped working. Reloaded twice but no go.

### 2/5 — Old App still works, but not that well

*2024-03-09*

Now over a year since my last review, and a major iOS update or two, this App is not surprisingly starting to not work as expected.
Oh well, glad I didn’t use it for really important stuff.

After 6 years with no updates this App still sorta works. I wish some of my games still worked. It doesn’t recognize Dark Mode, but you can still create a list

### 4/5 — Very Happty

*2023-05-30, version 1.3*

I’ve been using this app for about four years and I enjoy it very much :) It is very easy to use and remembers every thing I’ve inputted in the past.

### 4/5 — Old App still works

*2022-03-27, version 1.3*

After 6 years with no updates this App still sorta works. I wish some of my games still worked.
It doesn’t recognize Dark Mode, but you can still create a list

### 1/5 — Useless

*2020-12-05, version 1.3*

What is the point of this app. Why not just use iPhone lists. Waste of effort to download, it literally offers you nothing

### 1/5 — My UPDATED review 5/17/20. Simple, Handy, Highly Awkward, UPDATE NEEDED

*2020-05-17*

My UPDATED review 5/17/20
 Still no update no response.  I would give this “ZERO “ stars if possible compared to my recommendation below.  Apple should clear out deadbeat abandoned apps like this one.  
Here’s what I recommend. UNLOAD THIS APP and try  EASY NOTE 2  App.  It gives simplicity and common sense options to organize your basic style lists.  Enjoy. 
*My Original review*
Not updated for WAY TOO LONG.  There has been giant leaps in app design since this was last updated.  I love the simple look, layout, clarity.    Awkward is now leaning toward “Awful Clunky”.  Something as basic as cut and paste does not exist in this app... as in replicating an item to another list.  Really???
I have to retype instead of transfer???? …and many more obviously missing tweaks. 
I’m into the app, meaning I’m ’stuck’ in it, for now.    I’m DEFINITELY looking to unload this app as soon as i find an app updated and suited for 2020.   I’m not the only one.

### 5/5 — Excellent replacement for Wunderlist

*2020-05-02*

Exactly the App I’ve been looking for to replace Wunderlist. I can very easily create multiple different lists, and add-remove items from each list.  The only thing I am missing is the sound wunderlist made when I completed an item, but not a major ☺️

### 5/5 — Simple Lists +

*2018-08-06*

Simple list is an excellent app. I have tried one note, Evernote, wunderlist, any do, and simple list is the best. I like that it displays different lists, and then you can add to or take away items in those lists all on your Apple Watch without using Siri just voice dictation. Each list is simply displayed and not with a date or something else. Also, an item is completely shown and not just partially shown.  My only suggestion is to have the ability to change the font size on the iPhone.

### 1/5 — Crap App & Crap Service

*2018-07-09*

App won't work for me.  I emailed customer service for help, and was ignored.

### 5/5 — Update please

*2018-04-21*

Great for shopping, I’ve been using for 2 years. Please update to work with iCloud!
