Flossing is crucial or I’m in agony because I have one of *those spots*. I can’t do the usual unroll-floss-from-the-spool flossing because I hate putting my fingers/hands/whatever in my mouth so flossers-&-interdental-brushes are my Ladies/Lords & Saviors of my Gums. I respect All-They-Who-Clean-My-Teeth, My-Fellow-Beings-&-Planet to be puzzled when they’re used to pollute & litter. …. …. …. …. … … … …. … …. … …. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. … … … …. …. …. …. Throw away this, throw away that … … Why … ? How about donate-recycle-giveaway-etc this-and-that? Another time we can repair our this-and-that? ### 5/5 — Strangely uplifting *2021-12-30, version 1.2* I love crossing things off lists. This is mostly for fun, but it also includes random items which are actually useful ("dust something") or mood enhancing ("don't visit Facebook today"). Once you've gotten through the list (seven? items), you are done for the day unless you choose to continue with more. Weirdly satisfying. 😀 ### 5/5 — Wholesome Fun, Low Stakes *2021-10-30, version 1.2* Almost invariably suggests doing something I've already done today, which really makes me feel like I'm on top of my adult game. Which I'm absolutely not. But that's the point, I reckon. I recommend this app to pretty much anybody. It's frivolous, but in the best possible way. ### 5/5 — 5/5 stars would recommend *2021-07-23, version 1.2* yes i’m writing this review because the app told me too as a task, but also i genuinely like it a lot. i downloaded this after seeing it on twitter (the driving force behind many of my actions) and it makes me feel a lot better self care and mental health wise, especially as someone with adhd who is failing to complete many other tasks! tldr: this app gives me a sense of accomplishment that isn’t totally unwarranted, and is someone on my phone that actually makes me feel better which is rare ### 5/5 — most rewarding confidence boost *2020-12-09, version 1.2* some days, just getting out of bed is a struggle. these to-do lists have been a life enhancer. each day i am presented with the least dangerous tasks that positively impact my self-esteem. you too can be better person through this app, or at least imagine yourself as such! **Developer response:** We are humbled and privileged to fuel your continuous self-deception! ### 5/5 — 👍 *2020-12-01, version 1.2* They took the feeling you get upon crushing a young child at chess and turned it into a well designed app. ### 5/5 — Great idea, not designed for small screens *2020-11-18, version 1.2* This is a fun app, and the satisfaction of crossing of items is as advertised. However, there are many items that get clipped on my iPhone SE screen. Including the “buy” button for premium features! Edit: It’s fixed for smaller screens now. Thanks devs! **Developer response:** We implore you to use your creativity! Alternatively, watch this space for an update that will fix that in the next few days! UPDATE: version 1.2 should fix that. ### 5/5 — So satisfying! *2020-11-17, version 1.2* This is such a fun app. Sometimes I’ve already done the things on the list, which makes me feel ridiculously accomplished. I also like the other low pressure tasks for reading and music to broaden my tastes. ### 5/5 — I feel extremely accomplished *2020-11-10, version 1.0* I haven’t downloaded any apps in months because I forgot my Apple ID password and lacked the motivation to reset it. But, I wanted to download this app so not only did I finally reset my password, I also completed my first day of extremely easy to-dos in about 5 minutes. And in about 30 seconds I can take credit for submitting this review. Being an overachiever is a wonderful feeling, I think I’ll go make myself a margarita to celebrate. I also like that you can cross off each to-do by swiping from left to right AND from right to left. A+ for UX. Also! The line that crosses out the to-do is a big fat marker, not a wimpy ballpoint pen. ### 5/5 — Makes getting things done... fun? *2020-11-10, version 1.0* Love the attitude. It’s very well done! ## Frequently asked questions about The Least Dangerous To ### What does The Least Dangerous To-Do List do?
