Great concept, poor execution

It seems like a good idea as a free sample but that's cuz u r only allowed 4 items on a list for free. When you pay, there is a lot of useless, time wasting stuff as you have to compare ur newest entry with EVERY other list item, when that stuff should be automated.

Edit: The developer said these issues have been fixed so changing my rating to 4 stars

Response from developer

Hi Sooppa1 - Thanks ever so much for your detailed review. I think I've fixed most of these issues. I've recently completely rebuilt Which Thing First? from the ground up. There are multiple lists, the iPad keyboard no longer covers what you're typing, and finished lists reorder themselves so #1 sits at the top. Being straight with you on the one thing I haven't changed: comparing a new item against the others is how the ranking is worked out, so that's still there by design. I'd be really grateful if you gave it another look. All the best, Matt in Yorkshire.

Excellent update

I love this app! Thank you for the update!

Response from developer

Hi wd75004 - I'm so sorry I have taken a long time to put things right. Losing your tasks was never meant to happen :( . I've just released v2, it's a complete rebuild from the ground up with proper, reliable saving, plus multiple lists so you can keep the paper method going for more than one thing at a time. If you still have it installed, your old list should carry across. Once again, I'm so sorry! Please give it another chance! (everyone who bought the upgrade automatically gets the new version). All the best, Matt, West Yorkshire UK.

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.

Response from developer

I’m sorry you found bugs Debrevns. I’ve completely re-written the app in the last few months so please give us another try. The new version has multiple lists, and the keyboard handling should be better behaved. All the best, Matt West Yorkshire, UK.

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 🥰
