Everything in Infinity Lists can be customized to fit your specific needs. Lists can be as simple as this week's groceries, but the real value of Infinity Lists is in its powerful customization tools. If you're looking for customization and complete control, put this on your to-do list: buy Infinity Lists from the App Store." -- Mac|Life (5/5 stars) Rating: 'Awesome' "Customization out the wazoo. Very nice interface for such a full-featured app. It works almost precisely the way you expect an iOS app to work, and it's jam-packed with features that leave it balancing lightly on the line between a powerful list app and a simple database. And yet, with all these complexities, the lists themselves are easy to use, easy to organize, and easy to update." -- Wired (9/10 stars) Rating: 'Nearly flawless: buy it now' "Exactly What a List App Should Be. They've brought something new to a genre that is otherwise tired and cluttered with generic developments. Infinity Lists is easily one of, if not the best list app for iPhone and iPad that we've ever seen." -- appPicker "It's clearly a very flexible app. It is quick and easy to use, works seamlessly between iPhone and iPad versions, and syncs easily. This is a great tool that will work perfectly for most tasks you have." -- c|net "Your complete List Assistant. We have yet to find anything more complete than Infinity Lists." - appsplit Featured in Apple's New & Noteworthy Apps Terms of Use - https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Customer Service is a top priority.

Sometimes you need a little bit of Scrap Paper while you are working on something. Maybe you are filling out online forms, and you want an app to copy bits of text from. Or you just want to jot down a random thought without creating a new note in your other notes app. Scrap Paper is a simple notes app with only one note. Scrap Paper is also available for macOS and features cross-device iCloud sync. P.S.: Scrap Paper can solve simple math problems. How it works: Type in a problem (e.g. "2+3*4"), highlight it, and click on the "Solve Math Problem" button in the context menu. Scrap Paper will append an equal symbol and the result (e.g. "=14"). Computation happens locally on your device.
