Checklist - The Ultimate App Reviews

by Hufflepuff777777

Disappointed in Checklist. While it has many great features - I just want an app I can make a simple this app. Because they try so hard, it makes it so complicated to just check off an item. When I went to delete some stuff, the second time I accidentally deleted everything and I couldn’t get any of it back! Like I said - lots of good ideas but it’s just way too over the top in my opinion

I love Checklist. And first I want to say that Checklist does exactly what it says it will. Great look - love the nesting functions. Served me well until I wanted to go just a little deeper. Used it for awhile......and I hate getting rid of it. I recently got a new iPad and I had not installed this on my previous one as I just kept it in my phone. But I decided to install it. I was shocked that my items would not sync from my phone - but I loved it so much that I manually entered lots of data to have it in both places. But I soon realized that that was unrealistic even after spending all that time putting it on my iPad. - Because this is a fluid app if you really use it - always changing......and I could not enter it in two places every time I changed or added something. I had lists divided by days, weeks and months. I also needed the ability to be reminded of things. I had all the rooms in my house broken down for cleaning as well down to what needed to be done and how often.
If you just need to keep lists - and only need them on one device - great app!
But unfortunately, it just doesn’t go far enough. I just feel that syncing is an expected function in today’s world. So I spent an entire afternoon transferring all that data - my entire life - to a different place - one that I knew would do all these things - and continue to be upgraded and supported to keep up with how people actually use their devices.

I hate fancy and complicated apps. Checklist is very simple, straightforward, and easy to use. I’ve been using this for years now. I love everything about Checklist except 2 things. Actually the 2 problems are quite annoying. I hope the developers will fix the problems someday.

First problem is, When you type pretty long, and later try to edit, it does not show the letters on the second line so you cannot pinpoint exactly where you need to edit.
Instead, you need to delete the letters in front in order to see the hidden letters to show up so you can edit it.

Second problem is, I can not do anything with the last item on a list. This does not happen 100% of the time but it still happens very often. Just say I have a shopping list of 10 items. After I made the 10th item on the list, I cannot edit nor delete the 10th item unless I get out of the list, refresh Checklist and fo back to the list.

Other than these 2 problems, I love Checklist.

I use Checklist all the time. It is “almost” exactly what I needed. I can make multiple categories with sub lists. So I make a grocery list with a sub list with the items I need. I can do the same with the hardware store. This way it stays organized. Then I can check off the items in the list as I do/buy them.

I really wanted to give 5 stars but I have one small inconvenience which keeps it from being perfect; once I get all the items in my sub list, the category disappears. I don’t want my category to disappear. There is no option to make a permanent list. It’s minor but inconvenient.

I love Checklist, it’s really helped me tackle my depression by checking off everything that i need to do! My only complaint is if you are using it for daily activities, there’s no automatic reset. So one of my daily tasks is to uncheck everything I did that day lol. It would be helpful to be able to have a timed reset for specific categories.

by JustKnowledge

Great and simple application, but would love it even more if there were a few additions, like a search bar to sort through your lists. I use Checklist mainly to jot down recipes and the ingredients they use, so I have to scroll a lot to find the recipe I’m looking for, especially since my list is so long. Would love to see that added, but overall, would recommend.

Looking for a straightforward, easy to use list app, I downloaded three this morning that all looked promising. After trying all three, this is absolutely the keeper of the three, and so good that I won’t be looking any further. After just a few minutes with the fairly easy tutorial, it was so easy to create a new list, add items to the list, add lists of sub-items to higher-level items, color each list differently, reorder items in a list, check items as done or not done... in short, everything I was looking for in a list app. I recommend you check Checklist out. Thanks developers!

by Swanstickle

I used to be able to actually “check” items on the list but now when I tap one it just disappears!
[update] That’s great! This has been a great app that I use all the time and by selecting “all” at the bottom I can check items off again without them disappearing. So happy to be able to use this again!

by Livesbythelist

What happened to the check mark feature? Just today, the items disappear when I check them! I enjoyed this list because I could check, and still see what I had done! Please fix!

I am a general contractor and I have gone through this app apps like candy settling on "Clear" over 2 years ago. However there was no way to categorize the todos into sub lists. This works perfect for me as I can create a list "grab these items" and create a this app of the items without cluttering the list and my mind.

Some people love GTD, but I just hate it. My tasks are too fluid to need dozens of fields, tags, and worse of all - due dates that come and go! I need a to-do list that is a snapshot of now, where I can add and reorganize on the fly, check off and remove items at will. Checklist is just enough organization to keep me on task, but without all the information overload that other to-do apps force on you. 5 Star, easily!

by Britany Combs

I love Checklist! I’m not even capping (exaggerating, if u don’t speak Ebonics) literally I’m usually so unorganized and I’ve tried paper and pen checklists but I never complete the stuff on them. However, on Checklist, I get everything done! I love the feature making a this app INSIDE OF A this app!! Like whoever thought of that: Raise? Yes. Wow I’m shaking I love planning so much.

Although Checklist is only one I’ve tried of it’s kind, it’s so perfect for me, I don’t need to look on. It’s so simple once you get the hang of it and it’s still customizable. You can add as many sub lists as you want. It can be large enough for all your lists, but designed in a way that minimizes clutter & hassle free. Definitely a minimalist type app. I’m very pleased with it. Thank you developers:)

Loved Checklist and purchased no adds version. Checklist is perfect for my needs, the only question i am trying to solve is: is there an option to change places for main items? I understand that i can move an item into another item, but i want just main items to put in my own order as they are repeating tasks and i actually dont check them out at all. And want to organize them in importance order. Thank you.

by Amelia Semrad

Checklist is the best app I have ever seen making things very easy to understand. If you have daily goals it’s great for keeping track of what you have and haven’t done. It is also great because you can have as many lists as you want without having to pay for more lists or a monthly subscription. Overall this is a great app make things easy and keeping me on track. Would 100% recommend.

Every time I visit my family, I have the same packing list. I occasionally add things to the list or check-off something that I know won’t be needed the next time I go. Checklist that I used to use is no longer available for use with the updated iPhone. I finally found this one & it is exactly what I needed. After I pack & check it all off the list, I can go to the list of all items & then Uncheck them to have them for the next trip. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

by CaptainSteel5

First things first. What you can’t do is attach time or dates to items in your todo list. Checklist would lose a lot of functionality for me if it did. I have a different app for that.

But because Checklist doesn’t have that, I’m using it for many other things beyond its intended use. Daily activities and routines. Keeping track of promises and need to-dos with no deadlines. Shopping and packing lists. Brainstorming and note taking. Checklist is open just as much as my browser. I love it!

by Colli9978

This is by far the best this app / to-do list app I’ve tried, and I’ve tried a good number! I use checklists every day to stay organized. Checklist is simple, cute, elegant and easy to use. Buying the paid version of Checklist was very worth it at as well. I like how you can customize the colors and add sub categories inside items. I also love how easy it is to share via email or texts. But my favorite thing about Checklist is how uncluttered it is. Helps me stay focused. Thanks for making an awesome this app app, I love it!

by TtLens

As an unfortunately compulsive list maker I need a list app that actually works well and doesn’t have a ton of fuss or navigational clutter.

This is Checklist ! I can add things very simply and quickly, cross them off but also view what I have crossed off which is important to me, and most of all everything is color-coded as well in their own subcategories.

Definitely hands-down the best List making/Priorities app - and I’ve actually gone through way too many of them before. I’m so glad I found this app! Woo!

Checklist works real well for me! The icon badges are a huge help, the interface is really intuitive, and it’s really been helping me out with remembering schoolwork. Thanks devs, you’re saving a struggling student’s grades!

If you, like me, have ADHD and autism or some other memory affecting thing, this has helped me and I recommend giving it a try. Thanks again for the great app!

Does the job, but a share functionality where I can send a this app to my wife and she can open it on Checklist would be the icing on the cake. You can share a this app, but it exports it as a text string, so if you copy and paste, you will create a new item with all the text instead of the complete this app.

by Sammykat

I love Checklist! It allows me to check off the things that I have accomplished in the day. It is worth it to upgrade to the ad free version. The reason I gave Checklist four stars instead of five is because I wish it was able to send notifications that display on the lock screen. Other than this I have no complaints.

by MLLBees

This is a simple this app app that lets me create any number of lists and sub lists so that I stay organized. It would get five stars if I could share lists across multiple devices like my iPhone and iPad or even export from one device and import to another.

by Jas.21.

I love Checklist so much. It has helped me organize so many different things, keep things on schedule like clockwork, and to get things done efficiently. This has become my go to.

by Lemonheads Yummy

This is the best this app and task app I’ve ever used. I like how you can select multiple items and copy them all at once so you don’t have to keep rewriting them. Checklist is amazing and I absolutely love it!

by Sasssysweeet

I love Checklist . It’s perfect for what I need but I’m confused as to why there is a way to switch between todo and all. Every list you make shows up in both. It’s not like there are other categories. It seems dumb.

by Unlink King

I absolutely love Checklist! The ability to separate the tasks into categories makes it easy for me to remember chores I need to do, homework due dates, work and college assignments, and my hobbies on one app without clashing. Perfect for anyone who has trouble remembering what they need to do.

by DianaW2019

Checklist is simple yet amazingly flexible. You can start with a simple list and create sub-lists on top of sub-lists and easily copy and move any of the lists around. I love it. Just what I have been looking for. I would upgrade if there was a way to print lists from within Checklist .

by Skiddet

Checklist is simple, usable, and versatile in applications. It gives you all the imaginable freedom you could want while maintaining its simplistic nature. It even lets you choose where you want to put the ad in the free version. Nothing overbearing, nothing off-putting, just want i needed. thanks

by Stm357

It let’s you get in depth about what to do. Like if you want to clean your house put down the room and the you can add stuff you need to do in that room.
