EN Instead of simply listing things you need to do, Fun-First List is a list app that lets you rate items using your own criteria and rank them by total score. Things you want to do, things you are curious about, things you want to buy, and works you want to watch. You can freely add items and compare them across multiple criteria to organize what you want to prioritize most right now. Each criterion can also be given its own weight. For example, you can put more emphasis on “Fun” and just a little on “Ease,” so the ranking reflects what matters most to you. Each item is scored based on your ratings, and then ranked by a total score that reflects those weights. Main Features * Create lists freely * Add notes, images, and URLs to each item * Create custom criteria for each list * Set weights for each criterion * Rank items by total score * Add items from other apps via the Share button * Easily discover your own priorities by comparing options side by side It is useful not only for work and task management, but also for organizing things you want to buy, places you want to visit, movies you want to watch, books you want to read, and articles you want to check out. Instead of choosing based on what you have to do, choose based on what feels most right for you right now. Fun-First List is an app that supports that way of choosing.
