## What is Simplist Lite?

"Finally, an app easy enough for me!" - Mom

Simplist is the list management app designed to be beautifully simple. Its clean minimalist interface makes it very easy to use and fits right in with the other Apple bundled apps.

Use Simplist to create checklists, grocery lists, shopping lists, task and to-do lists. If you're looking for a more complex GTD time management app, I would recommend OmniFocus, Things or Todo. But if you simply want to create lists lightning fast, Simplist is the app for you!

### 5/5 — Needs minor adjustment

*2020-04-30, version 2.30*

Thanks for the update! The color scheme doesn’t seem to be compatible with iPhones dark mode though. The first page is white on gray. It would be nice to be able to adjust the font size as well.

### 3/5 — Does not sync automatically between devices

*2016-08-17, version 2.18*

This app is useful for simple list-making, but does not automatically sync between my iPhone and iPad... and I use both.  You have to export and import the added information between devices and if you're not careful about which device has the newer information, you will delete information or double-add your lists.  Very frustrating as it has the potential of being one of the best list-making apps!

### 3/5 — Was a 5

*2016-04-10, version 2.18*

This app was "Simplicity" and power. The recent insertion of the aggressive advertising band at the top is really eye and brain irritating and makes me never want to even glance at the ads to see what they are.

Returning to the iPhone's "Reminders" app after years with Simplist revealed that Reminders has the same manual sort feature and might be a good alternative especially free and without ads.

The advantage to Simplist is the type size which allows much more information per page.

### 5/5 — Tried a bunch this is the best!!!

*2016-04-10, version 2.18*

This one works great! I have categories for personal, household and work. This makes it so I can focus on where I am and not worry about work when I am at home and home when I am at work. Because you can make so many different list groups you can separate things all you want. Perfect examples: 
1. My wife and I decide to have a yard sale 2 months in advance. Every time I thought of something to put in the yard sale I would add it to the list. This was the first yard sale in 20 years that I didn't come across something a week after the yard sale that I had forgotten to put in it!

I have used this app 1,760 times! It tracks that also :)

2. I started a list of what we needed to take on vacation 2 weeks before we left and added to it as things popped in to my head. We didn't forget anything! A first do us!

Thanks very much for creating one of my most productive apps!

### 5/5 — Helps organize our shopping lists...

*2016-02-10, version 2.18*

...for various stores easily, with minimal learning curve. It has a well-designed interface that's intuitive to use, so it quickly replaced our paper lists. 

Would suggest three improvements:
   Add a few larger font size options.
   To the menu for moving items between lists, also add "Copy item" (to eliminate several steps needed for to do the standard copy/paste actions).
   It would be great to have the ability to scan UPC codes, like some other shopping apps. have.

### 5/5 — Perfect and easy

*2016-01-10, version 2.18*

I have used this app for years now. It's simple and easy to use. I have 5 or 6 lists on it and I like how you can easily add, delete or even move items from one list to another.

### 4/5 — Use almost daily

*2015-08-11, version 2.18*

I make a list for everything on this App. My favorite is a list of monthly bills. I can keep a basic list, yet easily move items up and down the list as needed. I can even set a reminder alarm for due dates. There's only two complaints: 1) a note can not be added at the same time as creating the item to be checked off - you have to save and go back in. 2) when emailing the list to someone else, they can not mark a check on the list.

### 4/5 — Liked this app but....

*2015-01-22, version 2.14*

I have used this app for a few years and really liked it. The latest update is not as user friendly or visually friendly.
A new bug? Recently I noticed the due date field is a day off. Feb 1 is a Sunday but the app shows it as Saturday. Makes it confusing to set due dates.

### 5/5 — Best list app, tried them all!

*2015-01-13, version 2.13*

Allows me to have lists within a list which is SO hard to find in list apps! Simple interface, very easy to navigate. Like the look of the update but not the icons they chose for the buttons at the bottom. Still a great 5 star app!!!

### 4/5 — LOVE this app.

*2015-01-06, version 2.13*

Would be 5 stars except I hate when an update removes a feature or makes something worse. Put the ad back at the bottom. And please give us back the option for checked items to move down. Don't know why that option got removed. I like seeing my checked items but I like the option of them moving down to the bottom. Otherwise I LOVE this app! Simple to use. Not a bunch of folders and colors like other apps. Love the easy sorting and deleting. Love the options to email or copy list. Love the check boxes.
