Checklist+: Daily To Do & Task

This is a really good checklist program. I am a retired software developer who used checklists in my job of 30 years. I have 10 checklists, with the biggest one nearing 200 items. There are only a few tools missing that would make this a great checklist. 1) With near 200 items in a checklist, I have problems finding the one I’m looking for. A search capability would help a lot. 2) When you click + at the top, add to the top. When click + at the bottom, add to the bottom. 3) There are often floating/extra +’s floating around on the right side that don’t work. Sometimes 2-3 of them. 4) Ability to move an item *and* it’s indented block as a single item. As a bonus, move multiple lines not part of an indented block. 5) Moving items is clunky, slow and sometimes gets stuck going forward one, backward one, so stuck in place, unless you wiggle the finger location to get past it. 6) I know adding in-line font changing support adds a whole other level of complexities, but adding bold and underline to the highlighted word / phrase would be a nice to have.

This app does exactly what it should in a very easy to use way. Intuitive interface that does not make you have to press multiple keys to do simple inserts, edits, etc. I use it to keep track of various coin collections and other other projects. Also use it as a quick list for daily chores or shopping trips. I've tried many list apps and this is by far the simplest yet most complete for straightforward checklist usage. Know what you have or need with a quick look. Doesn't need to use all the bells and whistles that make other apps overkill. It may even have more features that I haven't explored, but I don't need them. Works fine with free version, but well worth the small price to upgrade to ad-free version. Hope this app stays true to its elegant current implementation! Kudos to the developer.

I like the simplicity of the program, and how it works in general. However, there are a couple of issues. I used this program to do grocery shopping. In so doing, I would unlock the phone, look at the list of items I wanted, check off an item based on where I was in the store, then lock the screen so I wouldn’t change things when the phone was in the holster. Every time I turn the screen back on to look for the next item, a advertisement would fill the screen that I had to turn off before I could look at the next item. This is in addition to the banner advertisement that was running all the time. I can except the banner advertisement all the time, but the fullscreen intrusive banner every single time I unlock the screen is too much. The second issue, and probably more important, is that I had created a list, checked an item off in the list, then as I try to add items to the list the program would not let me. I would click the plus button to add an item to the list, and in less than two seconds the line for the new list item would disappear. Trying to be very fast, I begin typing I had about two seconds worth of typing before the list item shut itself off and I had to edit it to finish. It took forever it’s just to put the word “bread” in.
