Simplist Lite

Like many of the other reviewers, I had tried several other to-do list apps before finding this one. I have been using Errands (done by an excellent developer) but this one, surprisingly, is much better for grocery lists and to-dos. This app is exactly what I was looking for and more. Allows me to create a custom grocery list of all the things I usually buy and I simply uncheck items when I need them which moves them to the top of the list. I then have a checklist of items to take with me to the store. The master list is always there, I just uncheck items when needed and check them when I don't. It even lets me e-mail the list to my wife (or anyone else) right from the app. Works fine as a to-do list also. All this and it's free, too! Very well done. Great job!

Simplist is a great replacement for those of us used to the Palm to-do list. It's very simple and straight forward, has a large notes field for each item, allows simple sorting either alphabetically or by hand, and allows easy category creation and management. Priority and due date fields can be easily turned off, a plus for those of us who don't use those things. The font is set fairly large and can't be changed (probably so that finger input doesn't check off more items than it should) so not as much of the list shows on the screen as one might wish, but flick scrolling works as well here as it does everywhere else so no big deal. But go ahead and buy the pay version (which eliminates the small banner ads at the bottom of the screen) before you get in too deep: the item lists are not transferrable between versions, so you'll have to reenter your data when you upgrade.

I have deleted all of my list apps after finding this one. It is clean- you add only the options you want to each list. I have grocery lists, to do, bills paid, packing lists per destination, a gifts list, wines to try....everything organized in one app. There is a note section for each item to write details (price, total, size, brand, quantity). Previously you couldn't do this all in one app. You can have check boxes, due dates, badge #, priorities, abc or manual ordering, email your lists, multiline titles, check all, clear all checks, copy list/items- whatever. I can't believe it is free. Thanks for making this app so user friendly. Looking forward to more apps from this company.

I was surprised by the flexibility in this little app. I use it for several things and I can make each list behave differently for the different purposes. I can sort several ways and have different things happen upon "checking" the item in the list. It would be nice to sync to some desktop application so I could use a real keyboard (the iPhone keyboard is nice but no challenge for a real keyboard if one is available). On second thought, the complexity required to do that because of Apple making all the developers come up with some goofy wireless sync method makes syncronizing a bad idea. Hats off to the developers - I'm thankful every time I use it.

I have been trying out a few "to do list" apps, and this is definitely the best - especially for free! A few features I looked for: 1. Simplicity & ease of use. Selections can't be too small to tap on with my big fingers, and it has to be pretty fast to add new items. 2. Reusability. We have our "tried & true" things we get from certain places (Trader Joe's, Costco, Whole Foods Market), and I would like to quickly reuse an older list. This gives a very good way of doing that, especially with the sort by checked status. 3. Organization. The ability to create and name the lists (Trader Joe's, Costco, WFM, etc.) and work with each list separately is great.
