Checklist – Simple Task Lists

The ads used to be a small non-invasive bar along the bottom. They never disrupted the use of the app. Now every time you go to use the checklist the ads expand into the space where you are trying to type. If you try to close them out (which only reduces them back to the bottom bar) it’s easy to accidentally miss the tiny “x” button which opens the ads in a new tab, causing you to have to close out the tab and return back to the checklist. This is literally every time you go to write a new item on the list. It is beyond annoying and makes this really irritating to use now. It was otherwise fine. (EDITED Sept 5: They updated it so that the ads are now on TOP of the list. This has actually made it so much worse to use as it’s easier to accidentally click on the ad even when it shrinks in size (especially when clicking the edit or back button. Removed a star. Will sadly be looking for another checklist unless they can make the ad placement truly not disruptive. Moving it to the top made it worse. If you are reading this, please make the effort to do this, this was such a useful app)

This is a very useful app that has been updated carefully and intelligently. Sometimes it’s like the developers are reading my mind. I’m a creative person who uses this app in many different ways and I’ve found areas for improvement that I know most users would appreciate. I can’t imagine it having much competition thereafter. It’s that good. It needs a SEARCH BUTTON with keyword highlighting. I would lay it next to the sprocket. DOWNLOAD BUTTON with doc or pdf options at least and I would lay it next to the send button. UNDO BUTTON to reverse you’re most recent mistake following the trash push because a confirm delete is just not enough sometimes.

I usually do not leave reviews, but just wanted to say I really appreciate the simplicity and utility of this application. I looked at a bunch of checklist applications and they were all either buggy, sketchy, or over complicated. This design does everything I need, and has a bunch of thoughtful features that do not get in the way of the core functionality. I use it mainly as a pre flight checklist for flight simulators. One feature that would be nice to have is an import and export functionality (as my lists can get pretty long). I noticed there is a share function which exports as plain text. As a programmer, this is perfect. I can stick it in source control or read it without some proprietary nonsense (although I wish it went pack to using hyphens instead of Unicode check boxes). It would be really amazing if there was a way to import these files. That way I could easily create them on a computer, or another device that is easier to type on. It doesn’t need to be fancy. Reading from the iOS files app would be fine, and make it the user’s job to get the checklist text file there (assuming that’s possible - I’m not an iOS dev). It doesn’t need to be fancy. Plaintext format with indents conveying nesting is great. Regardless - excellent job. This application is very helpful.
