Simplist

I have found Simplist very helpful and easy to use in the past. I used it for a few years, a few years ago, and purchased the upgrade. I admire your emphasis on simplicity. But I have one feature request that might seem “complicated” for your consideration. I think it should not significantly change the simplicity of the interface. My request: could you make Simplist networked between devices? Auto-syncing? Maybe even with a web interface? I’m sure this would not be simple to implement. But if you were able to do it, I think the user experience could remain simple. And Simplist would then probably become my favorite list management app. (I am aware of your import-export support, I’m talking about syncing behind the scenes.)

Love the app, been using for years - and love the new upgrade. Wish the app had the option to passcode or face recognition protect.

Updated Review: This is still my favorite list app, which I have used for several years. The only thing that this app needs to be five stars is cloud sync, so that it will sink on all devices in real time. Please update this app to include iCloud sync! -------------------------------- I have always use this is my favorite list manager. Now that the iPad support was fixed, there needs to be a way to import lists from the app on your iPhone. AWESOME APP BUT ICON IS STILL UNATTRACTIVE!! More people might try it if icon looked better!!! I still think this is the BEST simple to do list!! A better looking icon would attract more people to try. I LOVE THIS APP! It is my 'go to' list app. I just wish it was a bit more visually appealing....Would love to be able to change fonts & font colors! Also. Would like a change of icon to be more attractive. Otherwise, perfect! I have always been a list person, and no matter how many list apps I buy, I always seem to use Simplist for my lists. It is sooooo easy! I love it. I do agree, however, with the previous reviewer who requested an updated, better looking app icon. This app would be greatly improved, and would appeal to a much larger audience if the following changes were made: 1. Change of Design of app icon. 2. Allow customization with Choice of Font and Choice of Font Color....maybe choice of background color too. Thanks.

Can some one tell me why you would remove an option when it works fine the way it is??? I use this app a lot, and I really like it. I use the "lower checked items" option on just about every single list I create. Why would you remove this? It doesn't make any sense - it works perfectly. If someone doesn't want/need it, they don't have to use it. But, WHY take away something that is a very nice feature that works perfectly. I haven't installed the latest update because I do not want this feature removed. Who wants to sort through a list that mixes complete/incomplete items in a hodgepodge fashion? I rarely write reviews, but felt obligated here. Before this latest update, I would give this app 4.5-5 stars. This one deletion alone drops my ranking to 3 stars. For those of us who want an organized appearing list, this is a step backward. And honestly, I think that anyone who would pay for a list making app feels the same way - we want to be efficiently organized. Fix this, and I will update my review to 5 stars. **Update: first off, “lower checked items” has been returned. Thank you. Thank you. But, now I have to remove one star. The last ‘upgrade’ had 2 features that I, as a VERY long-term user, find frustrating. The layout was changed to make the font smaller and less bold. It makes it a bit harder to read easily. I’m sure they did it to allow more info on the screen at once, but I find it MUCH LESS easy on the eyes now. Worse yet, as we are all getting older, we should have the option of making the font bigger if we want, not FORCED to have it smaller. Big step back. Should’ve just added an option to change font size if wanted. Maybe I will get used to it... and I’m sure it is fine for New Users, but for people that have been using this for 5+ years, it is - all of a sudden - harder to read. Maybe I can adjust to this, but I saved the worst for last: In the past, each list would display a number indicating the items that were yet to be finished/checked on the line to the far right of the title. If all items had been finished/checked, there was simply no number. It made it very easy to locate lists that still needed attention, while allowing you to retain lists (Ex. Vacation packing list) that you would use again in the future. Now, if there are no ‘unfinished’ items, a zero appears inside the blue bubble. So now I have a huge table of lists with blue bubbles all the way down the rows, making it nearly impossible to glance and see what still needs attention, especially since the font is a small and thin white number in a relatively bright blue bubble. Why on earth do you keep changing things for the sake of change when it already works perfectly? I have recommended this app to many friends and it is one of the apps I’ve had the longest, please stop changing things. Long-term users really feel these changes...

Let me start by emphasizing that this is a great little application. You can create multiple lists, sort them pretty much anyway you like, prioritize items, check and/or delete items, ad personal notes to each item, set due dates, etc. etc. etc. Best of all, you can do so very quickly and at great ease (i.e. not complicated like many other similar programs). I do have one small request for the developer: Presently, when the application is closed, the total number of items that one has stored in the application is displayed on the icon. When one manages countless items, this large number becomes meaningless (and in that regard useless). I think it would be much better if the number of items listed on the icon would only pertain to the high priority items. This would give the user more meaningful information, namely the number items that require immediate attention. Other than that, this is hands-down a 5-star program. I have owned several other "To-do"-List programs. But none of them have all the features this one has with such a simple way to get the job done.
