Does not work

There must be a bug. It does deliver the items you wrote to rank. Sometimes the items duplicate themselves to rank. Some times there is an item and nothing in the next ranking box. And this is with only 4 items in the demo. I’m not going to spend money to see if it “fixes” it.

Bought app twice

Ever time I want to use this app, every few months, I have to purchase this app. Please help. I want to use it, but it keeps asking me to pay for another same upgrade. I don’t want to pay for a third time.

Response from developer

I'm so sorry Arlynn1 - being asked to pay again was never meant to happen :( I've just released v2.0 of the app. It's a complete rebuild from the ground up, has multiple lists, and fixes the problem properly: the one-time upgrade is a proper purchase that restores automatically on all your devices - no paying twice, ever. All the best, Matt.

Life saver

This app actually is a massive help on my daily life as I have dyspraxia and find it difficult to organise myself :) thank you so much 🥰

Great way to prioritize

Does what it was designed to do.

Very simple app good idea

Like the idea a lot but wish I could
-Have more than one task list for more than one job/place.
-Type more words for individual tasks.
-Move a task to the top priority spot given a near immediate situation.

I liked the idea but only four tasks without purchase it’s an app with the goal to simplify prioritizing and it limits you to simple amounts of tasks to prioritize without purchasing.... lol.

Response from developer

Hi JL! Thanks for leaving a review of my Which Thing First app a few years ago. Just to let you know I've released v2.0 of the app. It's a complete rebuild and supports multiple lists. I would be grateful if you gave it another look. All the best, Matt.
