What's New in Thing Sorter

1.1

May 13, 2019

This version introduces multiple sorts per list, so you can sort multiple times or share a phone between friends and compare your results. If you and a friend have the app, make the list on one of the phones and airdrop it to the other with the new share functionality! This version also fixes some things and makes other things smoother and easier to understand. Happy sorting!

Really good app, however

I really enjoy this app and it’s helpful for sorting different lists.
However, one thing I’m a little disappointed by is that you can’t save your progress, especially on ones with a lot to sort through. I currently have one where I have to sort through 208,335 times and if I accidentally remove it from my background apps or have to restart my phone, I’ll lose all my progress. I can’t find another app like this and would appreciate a fix to this issue

Great thing sorter!

Helps me prioritize and sort my things. It would be cool to have an “elimination style” mode for longer lists, versus the round-robin mode it currently has. Simple and effective!

Disappointed

This app doesn’t have any negative reviews so I thought I’d leave one warning anyone leery of spending money. I found this too be similar to those album sorters all over tumblr, but when I put in a long list, it said I had to do nearly 2000 yes or no. Worst of all, if I close the app, I have to start over. For the developer, for the longer lists I suggest using a program like the ones on tumblr (available to view easily) because obviously if one is at first place and another is at fortieth you don’t have to give me a comparison between the two.
