Do Simple To Do List Reviews

I thought I had finally found the schedule app that works for me. I don’t need time blocks, I just need to keep track of tasks in a specific order. This seemed to do just that: create tasks, put them in the order you want them, set them to refresh at specific intervals. Until the next day when everything reset in an entirely different order! I thought maybe this was a bug in the reset coding based on the creation time of the items and if I transferred them to a new list they would all stay in the correct order in the new list. Wrong! They didn’t reshuffle in the new list, they were automatically deleted after the next day reset. DoSimpleToDoList has so much potential but too many quirks and bugs to be useful for anything more than digital post-its. Shame.

I think that app is an awesome app and has the potential to help me a lot, but one thing that really bugs me is the reoccurring tasks wont post themselves unless you open DoSimpleToDoList everyday. I like to put all of my reoccurring homework on here so that I never forget to do something and mostly use the widget to see what needs to be done, if at all. So on those days where I don’t have any homework due its very likely that I won’t even open DoSimpleToDoList , but whenever I have homework due I normally will have a reoccurring assignment that day as well that posts itself for the coming week. However it won’t do so unless I open DoSimpleToDoList . That is really my main concern. Something that would also be nice would be for reoccurring events have the ability to automatically put due dates on them. For example, you have an assignment due on Monday and it posts itself every Wednesday then make it so I have an option to put Monday as its regular due date so I dont have to manually change it every time I get a new one.

I love so many things about this To Do List App! Let me tell you what those things are: there is a search feature so you can find tasks and also re-use completed tasks, there is also a DONE folder you can search for previously completed tasks to use again; you can organize your tasks by groups and give those groups colors (or you don’t have to use the colors); it is easy to assign dates to tasks (but you don’t HAVE to assign dates!); when you double tap a task to mark it completed, the task goes to the end of the list (and also into the DONE folder) but it does not entirely disappear so if you accidentally double tapped on the task, you can find it easily, double tap it again & it is back in your to do list as a task to complete! ; it is easy to add tasks; I love that there is a TODAY group AND it is easy to edit tasks as well as reassign them to different folders and days!
The only improvement I would make to DoSimpleToDoList (and I really hope the developers do this!!!) is to make it so if you do not complete a task marked with today’s date, DoSimpleToDoList would move that task to the next day for you. Currently, I have to move anything I did not complete today to tomorrow (or another day) so those tasks stay up front and easy to view.
Great app, highly recommend, with only that one suggestion to take DoSimpleToDoList over the top!

DoSimpleToDoList is great so far! It’s helping me stay motivated and remain on track. However, it still needs work.

I dislike that you can’t see the time that you’ve scheduled a reminder for, and if you do try to see the time you set it at, the time setting will erase itself and put the current time instead of the time you set (redundant, bear with me). For example, let’s say I had set a reminder for 10:00 a.m. and it is currently 9:46 a.m. and I forgot what time I set the reminder for. I go back to DoSimpleToDoList to check, but instead of showing the time I originally set it for, it will clear itself and act like I am trying to reschedule, so it will show “9:46 a.m.” on the time picker. I understand now that the point of the time picker is supposed to be primarily for a reminder, but I was hoping that if I set things for certain times, it would help me with time management. Therefore, fixing that issue and showing the scheduled time somewhere next to the specific reminder would be greatly appreciated. I sure hope that makes sense, it’s kind of a difficult concept to understand without be repetitious.

Other than that issue, the concept of DoSimpleToDoList is wonderful.

I wanted to start organizing my life and to do that I wanted an easy to use and simple to-do app. I tried a few apps all at once and this one was the best for me. So I have reoccurring tasks such as brushing my teeth and washing my face; along with day-to-day tasks such as looking at job listings, going grocery shopping, and working on my play. I really like the way that DoSimpleToDoList is set up, it is very clean and to the point, and I liked that I could add it to my widgets for easy access.

There are a few bugs that I have found. Some of the reoccurring tasks end up duplicating themselves the next day. For example, I’ll have three tasks that all say “Brush Teeth AM”, obviously I don’t need the extra two. Secondly, I wish you could have it so that certain tasks that are reoccurring every day stay in the specific groups that they are assigned to. In the morning I have to move all of my reoccurring everyday tasks into my “Everyday” group. I wish that it would just continue to automatically go into that group every day.

Developers, please allow your reoccurring tasks to populate the automatically generated today list!

I use Apple notes a lot, but I got this so I could make a daily routine for my Home Screen, and it works great for simple to do lists. I like it better than “reminders” both functionally and aesthetically.

I created daily recurring tasks, assigned them to a group, and set my widget to display that group. Excellent. This is the electronic version of a sticky note stuck to your desktop or mirror. The most frustrating thing is that I started using Do! to manage all my to do’s, and my routine does not show up in the “today” list that is automatically generated based on assigned date. Basically, reoccurring tasks do not populate the today list even though they should be assigned to every day. And you cannot add items manually, so there is no way to see my routine + the tasks that are for that day. You can select all, but that is a super long list in my case, which is a) overwhelming and b) defeats the purpose of a widget that shows a an edited down list.

This means I have to open DoSimpleToDoList , select a different view, and manually check my today list to make sure I don’t forget something. Spoiler: I don’t do that. The whole point of DoSimpleToDoList was to outsource all those little things that I need to remember to free up brain space and energy. So I literally had to make a reoccurring task called “check today’s tasks” which is...annoying.

I got DoSimpleToDoList a while ago and I thought it would be great, but it was even the slightest bit helpful. The reason I gave it 3 stars is because when I wrote in about a problem I was emailed back right away with an easy solution. But other than that I don’t really like DoSimpleToDoList , for me it would have been very useful because I have a messy life you could say. I had hoped this would organize it all. Every time I set a time for the reminder to go off the next day it goes off the moment I leave DoSimpleToDoList . I’m not sure if this is just me but I is annoying to see a red 1 over DoSimpleToDoList as thought I’m supposed to do the chore right then and there. Also DoSimpleToDoList it’s self it confusing and hard to work with. I can never seem to figure of was all the icons are supposed to represent and every time I pin a to do item it dose NOTHING!! When ever I click on the pin it’s says it should move to the top on the list but it never dose for me. Sorry this is really long but I’ve been having a very hard time with DoSimpleToDoList and I’m not even an old person (ok that sounded weird but you get what I mean). Thank you for reading my review!

-and unsatisfied customer :(

First, I want to say how much I love DoSimpleToDoList. It’s simple, easy to read, and customizable. Thank you for adding the option to use different fonts!! I don’t usually do reviews, but I’m hoping the developers see this because it would make the quality of life of DoSimpleToDoList so much better.

I’m a student, so I use DoSimpleToDoList mostly to keep track of my school work and assignments. My only big complaint about DoSimpleToDoList is that it shows all reminders for all the days. I really want them to add an option that that lets me just show today’s reminders. And then have another option that lets me see all of my reminders. This way I don’t get overwhelmed by everything I have to do this week. I only see what I have to do today. Basically your average paper planner that is organized by Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc.

I would also love it if the developers added more fonts/color schemes.

I have a few apps for reminders and to do lists and planning ideas etc and use each for different purposes. I needed a to-do list for writing down things i plan to do that day and ASAP rather than things that I can take a few days to accomplish. DoSimpleToDoList is perfect for daily to do’s! I especially love the feature that it makes a line through the tasks that have been completed. I wasn’t really looking for this feature but once I came across I was like, this is great! The widget is great too, I have right on top of my Notification Center so I can always see what I need to get done ASAP. I’m now also using DoSimpleToDoList to jot down money I owe others (obviously in its own separate list) and it’s so convenient. Don’t know how I lived without DoSimpleToDoList all these time!

So happy with DoSimpleToDoList. I needed an app to help me stay on track and get the most out of my days because I tend to forget things (I mean, who doesn’t). DoSimpleToDoList is awesome. There are many themes, fonts, and other customizable options available for free which are cute and fun and make it easy to create your ideal list. Works better than expected with options to set dates for each goal. Notifications when turned on work very well and pop up on the lock screen to remind you of the things you need to do. Awesome app! So happy it’s not one of those apps that lock literally everything up until you pay. Great app!

I love DoSimpleToDoList. I really appreciate everything about it. And the developers are fantastic! Almost every single one of the complaints in all the reviews have been fixed even things as simple as having an option to dim the color of the task after it has been completed. At first I was concerned with the whole in app purchase because I automatically thought “ugh so it not free.” But the only purchases you can make are for no ads, and to have more groups. I also love how if you need to quickly access your lists you can just add DoSimpleToDoList to your list of widgets on your far left slide thing on your phone. The only thing I don’t like is the settings. Only because they are a little bit confusing.

I absolutely love DoSimpleToDoList! i have it synced between my phone and iPad and use it daily instead of a complicated “daily goals” app that I paid for but don’t like. It’s everything I need and nothing extra that I don’t want! I find it so therapeutic to unload every little thing on my mind that I want to do and then cross it off as it’s done. The sense of completion at the end on the day is enormous. Looking back at what you’ve done is so affirming! The organization of thoughts and plans is wonderfully helpful and calming. The simple details in the design, like sound of crossing off and erasing and the options for editing, color and font make it so fun. This little tool has honestly become one of my best friends.

I recently bought a house and suddenly had a lot of new bills, in addition to a couple old ones, all due on different days. I’m good about paying them, but sometimes halfway through the month I panic thinking I forgot to pay this month’s. I don’t like autopay. I made a list with DoSimpleToDoList and have a 4x4 widget on my home page so I can cross off the bills I already paid each month. I layered it with the Photobox app so I mostly see photos of my dog, but with just a quick swipe I can see what’s crossed off! I’m definitely not taking full advantage of all the features, but it works great for my purpose and has made my life less stressful :)

Just started using it, but so far this seems like a dream come true. I kept complaining that I just wanted a simple app of my todo stuff. Everything I found was too much. Too fancy, too expensive, too difficult, too detailed.

This is great! It’s a simple list of my errands. I can organize them by color. Or drag and drop them in the order I like. There’s setting for everything I could think of needing. Font size, where and what should complete tasks go and look like. I can change the background color, tell it to put finished tasks at the end or even in a different file. I love the adjustability. And again it’s just simple. No added calendar or fancy features to make I overly detailed or complicated.

I hope I feel this way after a week or a month!

I love DoSimpleToDoList and use it in my day to day life so often; I even paid to have the ads removed. DoSimpleToDoList is useful for those who overthink or wants to stay prepared. I make lists for groceries, gift ideas, list of shows I need to watch, work tasks, chores, and everything in between. The sound for writing notes and flipping pages is satisfying. The interface speaks for itself, no tutorial needed which is the key difference between DoSimpleToDoList and others for Apple users. I have used every single other “To Do” / list apps on and off the apple store and this one is the best so far. The only thing I would tweak is once you add a note to a list, it adds the note to the top of the list instead of the bottom. You can move the note to the bottom, but that’s being picky and my personal preference. DoSimpleToDoList is greatly recommended. And free!

I am totally a to-do lost person, and DoSimpleToDoList meets ALL of my needs. I bought the option that lets you add custom groups, which was definitely worth it. The fonts are awesome, and I love that it has fonts in Japanese and Korean as well!!

It has a ton of features, and every time I find myself thinking, "I wish DoSimpleToDoList could do ____," I look through the settings and find out that they've already included that option! (Seriously, they even let you choose to automatically delay the removal of your "done" tasks for a couple of days! I love that because you still get the satisfaction of seeing your completed tasks, but they also don't clog up your list for too long. Tasks that repeat on certain dates or days of the week, color-coded tasks, different ways to sort your list, etc.)

Couldn't ask for more!

DoSimpleToDoList itself works perfectly fine for me and my needs. As a matter of fact, it’s the only app I’ve found that has the majority of features necessary for me to use DoSimpleToDoList on a daily basis. Aside from some bugs and errors that are too small to put into name, the most noticeable downside with DoSimpleToDoList is that it often times has trouble saving changes. For instance, I’ve noticed that some of the tasks i’ve changed the titles to a day ago turns back into the previous title it had. I also moved the tasks around into another category, but after a while, it goes back into its formal category. It gets frustrating at times having to rearrange it again every time it doesn’t save the changes. I hope this isn’t a difficult issue to fix. Thanks for taking my review into consideration.

it is really useful andvreally helped me get my life organized. You can have different sections fir different kindsbof tasks. I have a school section and i have a party coming up whuth a lot of preparation so i made a party section as well. You can also have it alarm you then the task is due, or give no due date. You can also make a reccuring task that reminds me every day. I use this for tasks like 'piano' or 'feed the...' brcayse it reminds yo to do it every day. You can also change it so it reminds you weekly, or every other day, or monthly, or customizeabke. Also
There are some very sayisfieing soundveffects wick i think you can probably turn off if you done like them but i haven't tried. I like them. Overall do! Is a really great app and i love it so much and you should really get also i mean tge app icon is very pretty but its a really great app and you should get it. Do! Has helped me so much so i really recomend it.

Also, a minimalist that isn’t easily impressed with apps as they rarely KEEP IT CLEAN AND SIMPLE!

Yes, I’m a career woman that uses OTHER apps within my team for those tasks.

But for my “other life”?

You know how you lay in bed Friday evening trying to organize everything you need to accomplish over the short weekend - and - in order to GET it all done, you really need to do them in a specific order. So you lay there visualizing this list, rearranging the order of tasks, KNOWING you are losing some in the literal shuffle? Well, don’t. Open DoSimpleToDoList (there’s a dark setting for your partner who’s already been fast asleep next to you for 3 hours). So, open it up and type task, enter, type task, enter - as quickly as you can think of everything - fire them off.

The rearranging to the order you need is so simple. Also, there are very muted but seriously pleasing and useful sounds while writing the task, erasing, rearranging, completing, etc.

Additional bomb points: SO aesthetically pleasing that I’d die to copy the font, colors - generally clean layout - to my entire iPhone. It’s super easy on the eyes I both ways (pretty & non-straining).

DoSimpleToDoList will definitely help me to remember to buy fabric softener so I don’t wear my panties on the back of my blouse to a meeting...again. 😳

It’s bro-friendly too. Plenty of layout choices for our alpha-dogs. 🍻 💪

I don’t normally write reviews, ever, but DoSimpleToDoList deserves appreciation.
It’s easy and straightforward, grouping your information and letting you also see it all in one place. I can divide my lists so one is for work and one is for groceries without messing with color labels, but when I want to tag my list of gifts or personal tasks with that kind of detailed coordination, I easily can.
If I just want to see some things first, like what’s due soonest, I can automate that, and if I don’t want it automated, I can pin whatever I want to the top so the urgent item isn’t lost in the stream of longer term thoughts.
Long and short of it, it’s for the no BS to do list seeker — Sleek design, no fuss, gets me from point A to point B while keeping up with a lot of deadlines and life changes.
*For DoSimpleToDoList developers:
The only thing I don’t like is I wish I could change the “double tap deletes the task” setting. It’s handy in a grocery store list, but not for a project list. Could the settings be altered per list? If not, overall, I’d rather swipe and select delete, and double tap to edit. I have that habit from many other apps. I keep deleting tasks I haven’t finished, and then I need to find them again.
Still 5 stars but I hope that option can be added. Then DoSimpleToDoList would be 6 stars out of 5, truly unstoppable. It could function for all needs, big and small.

I give DoSimpleToDoList four stars because I use it all the time! It is a great app for to-do lists. I love the sound effects. The only thing that could make DoSimpleToDoList better is that when you double tap to check something off, the color tag stays, so maybe there could be an option to at least dim the color tag (so we can tell at a quick glance if it's checked off) or even just have the color tag vanish when we check that item off. This should also be a setting you can turn on or off so people could have it either way. Thank you for taking the time to read this long review! Have a good rest of your day people

I have OCD and am very picky about how I organize things. I have been trying to figure out ways to keep all of my to-do’s together in one place. I tried jotting down lists on pieces of paper. I would then shove them into my pockets or purse only to never see them again. I tried using the standard Notes app on the iPhone. Again, no luck with that. This amazing app allows me to swiftly and easily organize all of my to-do’s. I can create a specific group and add away. Don’t like the order you put the list in? No problem! Super simple and easy to move around. It’s customizable just enough to not be overwhelming. The search for me is over!

I've been using DoSimpleToDoList for about a year now, and as a high school student with lots of responsibilities, I find it extremely helpful. It has many different colors to organize by which are very useful. The only thing I would recommend is a calendar view. Like a calendar with dots or stripes corresponding with the event or activity if it has a certain date or deadline to it. This would be helpful when it comes to seeing the whole picture and having a better view of how the week or month will go. Other than that, I really recommend DoSimpleToDoList 👍🏼

They don’t bombard you with too many ads, just banner adds, which can be removed for $1.99. The only other in-app purchase on here is unlimited groups (they already provide 2 groups) to place your stuff in, for example, having a grocery list and a list of your homework assignments. DoSimpleToDoList has helped me to keep track of all of my homework, know when it’s due, what class it’s for and if I’ve done it already. It is able to notify me of the due date of my work in case I forget. I have severe ADHD, and DoSimpleToDoList has helped improve my grades.

I have tried every task and to do list... spending likely hundreds of dollars across dozens of apps and across three devices(mac, ipad, iphone)... and this one surprised me. I nearly didn’t download it... but it’s so nice. Simple yet super practical and good.

Note to developer... you should that you can have different “skins” here... not everyone will like the craft paper look..and I didn’t know you could choose not to have it until I downloaded your app. That said I’ve actually grown to love the craft paper look.. it’s my preferred paper now.

Great app. Highly recommend.

DoSimpleToDoList deserves way more credit than it has. It's so simple to use and I have been using it for well over a year. I use it almost daily. Way better than the Microsoft to-do list. It was one of the first things I downloaded to my iPhone 6s. I'm a widget user and this is THE best widget out there for a to do list. It's so customizable. Makes grocery and to-do lists easier to check off. I hope it gains steam. There's not much I'd change except maybe adding the ability to have sub items under a main task. But it's not mandatory.

Needed a way to separate out some of my out of control reminders in the actually reminders app and was disappointed to see that nearly every app in DoSimpleToDoList Store has some type of subscription model for full functionality of a to do list. I stumbled along this little gem and really enjoyed it. One of the best features is the amount of customization you can do in the settings to make DoSimpleToDoList perfect for you. I don’t write reviews too often but with how perfect DoSimpleToDoList is for me, I felt compelled to write one.
