You need to remember a lot of things to do, when, where, and by whom. 3W List can help you plan all your to-dos with ease. 3W List can record different needs on a person-by-person basis. For example, your child is going to a theme park during the summer vacation, a friend wants to have dinner, or your boss asks you to write a summary report. When you're on the road, visit a long-cherished store in New York,or eat a delicious restaurant in Paris. 3W List can record these things by place and remind you in time. Keeping things to do with time and reminding them is the most basic feature of a to-do application, and 3W List is also a good way to do it: it includes a list of times, by day, by month, by priority, and with custom lists. Besides, 3W List has the following features: Add multiple subtasks for a to-do. Upload as many photos or audio as you want. Automatically sync data via iCloud. Set a login password. Provide a variety of widgets. Alerts when entering or exiting a place. Import people from the address book. Important dates can be set for people and reminded every year. If you already have a to-do app, but can't record tasks by person or place, 3W List would be a great addition.
