Go to Thursday and hit the "Template" button. Hit 'Soccer Match' from the list. Scheduled. 2. Tap Alison's calendar. Click on the dentist appointment day. Drag it from the bottom list onto the next day in the month. Rescheduled. 3. Click on your Husband's calendar. There it is. That is 10 seconds of your day you will not get back....

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: The Grid at 71% against Checklists App's 22%. The Grid also leads on price (Free vs $0.99) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 10 months). Checklists App's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Checklists App holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Grid has 387 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Checklists App's written reviews are positive against 71% of The Grid's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Checklists App ships an update every 10 months, The Grid every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
