### 4/5 — Great, simple todo. Font too small.

*2026-03-13, version 2.0.2*

It’s a great, simple todo app. I wish the font were a little bigger or adjustable. Thanks for making a great app!

### 4/5 — Should have no ads option to achieve real simplicity design

*2026-02-24, version 2.0.2*

Otherwise as a free app it’s good I guess but not what I needed … which is the look

### 5/5 — Lives up to the promise of simplicity

*2025-12-10, version 2.0.2*

I’ve been using this app for several days and absolutely love how my life has felt more organized and less stressful. No extra bells and whistles and things at a team would need or whatever just a fantastically simple way for me to create to-do lists. I particularly like that you can drag the order of the tasks so that you can brain dump and then organize it in terms of priority. Genius!

### 5/5 — Intuitive

*2025-11-01, version 2.0.2*

I found this app so easy to understand and use that I didn’t even bother reading the instructions 👍😊.

### 5/5 — シンプルで使いやすいです！

*2025-10-23*

私は繊細らしく、多情報が苦手で、色々な種類を同時に考えてしまうタイプなのですが、このアプリはシンプルかつ、全体のタスクを同時に見れるので、最初に言ったような性質の方はとても合うと思います。

スケジュール機能など他の機能がないのもとても良いです！私は時間をきっちり決めると逆にできなくなるタイプで、、スケジュール機能があると「時間を決めなきゃいけない」とか「不安だから時間決めたいな」とか思って上手くいかない事がありました。

タスクと同時に見て考えてしまい、頭が混乱するのです。

このアプリは、シンプルで無駄な情報がなく、機能も最小限で、全体を見れるTodoリストです。人の性質にもよりますが、合う人には合います。

GoogleのTodoリストだと、リスト全体を同時に見る事ができません。(今のところ)全体を見たいなという方にもオススメです。

このアプリ応援してますm(_ _)m

### 5/5 — Simple

*2025-10-09, version 2.0.2*

Simple says it all. All function, no form to complicate things.

### 5/5 — What a simple awesome app!!!!

*2025-10-07, version 2.0.2*

Love this app! It has made my life so much easier. And I love the fact that you can have multiple lists and within the list you can have sub lists.  It just amazing.

### 5/5 — I love it to much

*2025-10-05, version 2.0.2*

yes!

### 5/5 — needs a widget and sync across devices

*2025-09-23, version 2.0.2*

love the app! the only thing would make it better is a widget to add to my homescreen and to be able to sync in icloud so i can see it on my ipad

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-09-16, version 2.0.2*

I’ve been searching for a simple and aesthetically pleasing to do list app, and this is it. Thank you so much for creating this.

### 5/5 — めちゃくちゃ使いやすい

*2025-09-15, version 2.0.2*

兎に角使いやすい。
こうあって欲しいなって理想の使い方が出来るので、凄く嬉しい。

・各リストを個別に作れる
・チェックしたら消える(完了済みゾーンに移行)
・リスト間の移動も可能
・リスト内で順番替え可能

ひとつわがままが通るなら、追加した項目は1番下になるようにしてほしい。
(今はどんどん積み重なって行く形)
もしくは、どっちか選べるように設定で出来るなら最高。

### 4/5 — Best So Far

*2025-08-31, version 2.0.2*

This is the best app I’ve found so far. I would honestly pay a few bucks to make the ad at the bottom go away. I am mildly annoyed I can’t make it disappear. But I otherwise like the app a lot. It’s simple. It’s easy to use. I have been looking for something like this for AGES and they’re all TOO complex and not controllable enough. This has everything I want!

### 5/5 — やっと出会えました！

*2025-08-28, version 2.0.2*

このシンプルさ、最高です！

### 4/5 — Perfect

*2025-08-27, version 2.0.2*

I love the simplicity of this app. I use it for all my quick daily lists and ongoing projects. My only suggestion is to offer a one time fee to permanently get rid of the ads. Then it would be a 5-star app for me.

### 5/5 — Best I’ve found

*2025-08-26, version 2.0.2*

I’ve used lots of checklists and todo lists. This is the best I’ve found, they all get too fancy and complicated. 
This is very simple and does just what you need. 
One slight improvement could be to print the list, sometimes useful to have hard copy.

### 5/5 — The best

*2025-08-18, version 2.0.2*

I love this app very good maybe I improvement plss add a widget. It can make it easier but this is the best app ever very simple and easy to use also cute

### 1/5 — 😒

*2025-09-29, version 2.0.2*

Annoying stupid confusing do not recommend. Don’t get it free nice part about it but so annoying cannot figure it out.

### 1/5 — Start up

*2025-09-27, version 2.0.2*

Confusing, I can not even get started? May be my skills?

### 1/5 — Ads ruin it

*2025-08-01, version 2.0.2*

At least give an option to pay for no ads. I refuse to use it due to how it looks because of it

### 2/5 — 使いにくい

*2026-04-07*

チェックをONにした項目が自動でリストの下の方に移動してしまい、とても使いにくい。
また、あとから記入した項目が自動で一番上に並んでしまう。手動で並べ替えできるが、面倒くさい。とても使いにくい。
項目の順番を勝手に並べ替えないでほしい。

### 2/5 — 文字が小さ過ぎる。

*2024-07-12, version 2.0.2*

文字が小さい。
その設定もない。

他のアプリと比較しても、こんなに文字を小さく設定しているアプリは珍しい。

このアプリのみ文字を大きくする設定がiPhoneに備わってはいるが、そういった設定はアプリ内に設け完結できるようにして欲しい。

### 3/5 — Great app, needs iCloud sync

*2025-07-25, version 2.0.2*

A very nice easy to use app.  
Just what I was looking for. 
Very clean nice looking design, much better than those overly busy looking apps with way too many choices. KISS, thanks for keeping it simple with the nice font and design. 

Needs alternative to Google backup. iCloud sync and backup would fix this issue; this is an iPhone app after all. I would give it 5 stars if it weren’t for this shortcoming.

Also, it would be nice to access the tasks via our Mac computers.

### 3/5 — The ads tarnish a gorgeous app

*2025-07-01, version 2.0.2*

I wouldn’t be that mad at the ads if it weren’t such a minimalist and beautiful app. But the reason I downloaded this was for clarity of mind, which I expected the app to provide based on the pictures. The ads tarnish that.

### 3/5 — タスクを下に追加できるようにして欲しい

*2024-08-25, version 2.0.2*

デザインはシンプルでとても使いやすいです。ただタスクが上に追加されるのに違和感があります。

### 3/5 — Glitch

*2023-12-20*

I really did used to love this app, simple, easy to use and neatly organised. 

But the last couple of days I’ve gone into the app, if I tap the screen, to add a task, just change the list. 

It glitches and the screen turns white and doesn’t let me tap anything :(

### 4/5 — cute and minimalistic

*2026-04-17, version 2.0.2*

very easy to get used to. only issue would be the adds at the edge of the screen, they kind of ruin the vibe

### 5/5 — Simple

*2026-07-21, version 2.0.2*

Everyone wants something simple, other apps declare they are but you have to purchase app to get it, this is brilliant, does exactly what it states and doesn’ hound you to purchase something.

### 5/5 — Love the simplicity! Just needs a widget now to complete my life haha

*2026-07-08, version 2.0.2*

It’s so simple i love it, pls have a widget feature now, dev! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-06-30, version 2.0.2*

Very simple, works well and is perfect for just making to do lists. Plus it’s free. Would recommend! Only annoying thing is the ad banner at the bottom but it is easy to ignore.

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2026-06-05, version 2.0.2*

I use it for repeating routines for ADHD even if they’re temporary, such as how to study or what to make sure I need to do before I can go to bed. Lovely simple app, thank you so much it’s lovely!! Well done

### 5/5 — This app is amazing!!!

*2026-05-28, version 2.0.2*

Don’t usually leave reviews but as someone that has tried and tested countless to-do list apps, I usually get bored/ become inconsistent with using them after a short amount of time. This is app is amazing, really simple, really satisfying to use and works well for my ADHD! Definitely recommend!

### 5/5 — Most simplest and elegant app I’ve ever used
