I like checklists. Plain, simple checklists. And I couldn't find a nice, polished app that did as LITTLE as I wanted: • Create and add to lists as quickly as I can type. • Sync and share lists with others using iCloud. So I made Ticked. And that's all it does.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ticked 2 at 81% against Text file checklist's 29%. Ticked 2 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months). Text file checklist's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 14.1). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
