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.

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.
One of my favourite apps and great tech support
This is such a useful and simple app to use. I love it. I would recommend it to everyone as it makes life just that little bit simpler. It’s a must have app for me and great tech support too - cheers :)
Still use it. Still love it.
Still use it. Still love it.
Helpful - room for improvement
Using the free version for now — had seen another similar app recommended but only available in Google Store. Would be better if list itself reorganized top to bottom; #1 on top, etc. It doesn’t do that, but does label priority of items 1,2,3,4.

Hi Yonah Thanks for leaving a review of my Which Thing First app some years ago. Just to let you know I've released v2.0 of the app. It's a complete rebuild, supports multiple lists, and items do reorganize after all the comparisons have been done. I would be grateful if you gave it another look. All the best, Matt.
Excellent app
Does as it says...excellent app!! Boxy07
Need Multiple Lists
Can't buy this until thee is the ability to create more than one list. The ability to export would be great also.

Hi Brien in Florida Thanks for leaving a review of my Which Thing First app 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 in Yorkshire.
Great Tool for Multi-taster
This is a great app for me. When over a dozen big or small problems in your life keeps pressing and you don’t know which one to deal first? Then this is just the great app. I used to draw diagram on paper to prioritise them using the similar method but it’s just so time consuming. Please keep upgrading the app. 😊

Lost my tasks
I loved this app! I used to do this binary choice method of decision-making on paper all the time and I have used this app for years. It had been working great again, but now it’s defaulting to the standard list and not saving the tasks I entered.
Please fix! Thank you!

The Best & Fastest Prioritizer
First of all, there arent many of these types of apps available. Maybe 2 or 3. But this one is the simplest, fastest one. Using this for my daily priorities, and am running a nonprofit, a copywriting business, and keeping my business relationships moving forward. This app is invaluable. When I'm managing my day, I need something that will cut through the clutter and distractions... fast.. and help steer me to the important things as quickly as possible. This app does the job hands down.

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. E.g. If u have shopping, pay rent, find folder, cut keys on ur list and you have put them in that order of priority. Then you add "fix computer" and tell the program it is more important than shopping, I.e. Priority #1,...... you shouldn't have to then tell the program that is also more important than everything else on list one by one - esp if you add 40 items!! You have to make 40 decisions just to put an item at #1! However there should be an option to re-prioritize a list but not to have to do it every time by default!
Even worse, iPad keyboard covers the part of the list I was writing, so have to guess you are typing without error and shrink keyboard every time to check. Again this problem doesn't show up on the free version.
I hope the developer fixes all this, bc a great idea. Will change my rating if so.
Ideally would also have color categories, multiple lists etc.
Otherwise, Someone else will do it first!

Essential App to determine prioritization
I'm modifying my review because this app is no longer supported. I found a better app though, that does what this did and allows multiple lists. It's called WhatsNext Prioritisation. I recommend it to those who loved this app like me!
My original review: "Other prioritization apps don't do what this one does so perfectly -- actually determine the sequential priority of your task list. You enter all your current tasks like any other app has you do. But the brilliant thing here is that the program then compares two of those tasks at a time in every combination. Each time you simply choose the most urgent of the two. The results of the comparisons determine which tasks should be done first. Thank you for allowing me to easily do "first things first!"

Hi mark4strom Thanks ever so much for your review, and sorry I have left it so long to update the Which Thing First app. I've just released v2.0 of the app. It's a complete rebuild from the ground up, and supports multiple lists. I would be grateful you you gave it another look. All the best, Matt.
very limited- not worth an upgrade
concept is solid. but the app itself awkward to use. adding to dos is cumbersome, and there's no checkbox to mark complete. free version limited to 4 tasks in total, didn't feel it was worth the 1.99 to upgrade. deleted app after 5 minutes.
Good - not great
Easiest pair-compare I've found. However it only allows for one list. It should provide the ability to create multiple lists.
Example. An Office list, A Home list - Hobby Project list(s)
Example. An Office list, A Home list - Hobby Project list(s)
Love its concept
When i have a long list of things to do but cannot decide on the priority, this app really helps me make the decision. It's one the only app that does this actually. So I give 5 star for Its concept, less one star for oversimplified UI.
A Really Helpful App
What can I say? its a simple app with a purpose. A real joy to use with an excellent, streamlined user interface for quickly prioritising tasks.
