TapList is the photo-powered, easy list app. You can use it as a nice, simple, visual to-do list with the ability to check things as done. But you can also use it to quickly take photos of things you want to quickly access later — groceries, supplements and medications, packing lists, anything where a photo helps you get the right thing. And sharing a complete list, a list item with notes, or just an individual photo is quick and easy. You’ll end up using TapList every day. TapList is great for: Groceries To-Do’s Water Tracking Medications Workouts Supplements Packing Lists Photos of Documents Recipes Home Remodeling Projects Anything! ADD PHOTOS Capture photos right in TapList or import from your Photo library. TapList photos are backed up in iCloud and not in your iPhone’s Camera Roll. Usually you don’t want photos of products you need to buy or medications mixed in with your family photos. You can however export a photo captured with TapList to your Photos library. To minimize storage used photos are saved at a medium resolution in the High Efficiency Image File format. SYNCED WITH iCLOUD Your lists are automatically synced with iCloud. And if you use the TapList app on another device such as an iPad logged into the same iCloud account, your lists will be synchronized.
