Ikiru for Positive User Reviews
✓ I like this appLike all good apps, this one takes a while to get to know it. I find it works quite well so far. Make sure you read the help feature. I've had paperless for a long time and will now be using ikiru instead. Note that you need ios 9 or 10. Good job on the app..Version: 1.0.2
✓ It Changed My Life!I’ve been using Ikiru for about 5 years and have gone from being disorganized, unproductive, and restless when it came to performing daily tasks and projects large and small. I created lists for just about everything that I need to get done and I now live a life of daily organization and order. Being able to cross things off as they get done is a real joy! And you can reset the lists to use daily, weekly, whatever. I can’t recommend this app enough for people who love to be organized or for those who are at the beginning of becoming organized. Really... it has changed my life!.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Great supportI'm an early adopter. Even if Ikiru doesn't work right now on iOS 10 Public Beta 3, James (Jim) immediately responded within a few minutes to let me know why Ikiru was not running properly and confirmed that it was a known issue that sould be resolved in a timely fashion. Contrats! J.B..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Perfect (almost) for meBeen using paperless for several years but I was ragging on crush to create sub lists. Tried onenote and Evernote. Far too many issues with their list capabilities but I do like their integration features. I have now used ikuru for a week and am loving it!! So much easier/efficient to organize projects and lists. Only issue I have so far is I miss the checkboxes. I'm ok with swiping but the boxes look MUCH better and are more intuitive. I'm a checklist guy (checklist manifesto is a good read).Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great app for organizing tasks and notesI moved to Ikiru from Paperless primarily to better organize my lists with the sub list feature. I also really like the swipe to check off an item and a shake of the device to backup if needed. I also like the feature to schedule a due date and time to get a list of priority items that are time dependent. The one thing that is really needed is when searching for items, there needs to be a way to know where the item is located in the lists and sub lists. Once the item is found by a search, there is no way to know to what list the item belongs. Sometimes the meaning of an item is dependent on the title of the list. And, some items are copied across multiple lists so by not knowing the list the items are in, there is no way of working to resolve and consolidate. If I could see the list an item was associated when found with a search, I would say this is a near perfect list managing app..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Yes!Update: I had been using this app quite a while ago but stopped. Not sure why. I reinstalled it recently and began with it again. I’m OT sure when the password/finger scan option was added, but this makes the app a good deal more useful to me. I think this is going to be my go-to app for to-do’s, passwords, grocery lists, short study notes, birthday lists, and a host of other things. It’s so flexible. I would still like to see more flexibility in date recurrence, i.e. repeat from completion, but still a wonderful list/notes app. Thank,Ikiru. I had been using Paperless for a long time and really liked it - and used it. But I kept wishing for an update with the ability to attach dates - with a repeat function and also for the ability to create lists within lists. Wish granted! Thank you! It works well, and I can keep track of SO MANY things with this app! So functional! Like other reviewers have mentioned, it would be nice to have other themes to select from. Yes, the old Paperless WAS much more attractive. I do have one other wish - now that dates and repeat function are available it would be great to see the repeat function a bit more flexible, i.e., repeat from date or from completion, and repeat every # of days, weeks, etc. Thanks for a great app which is at once functional and easy to use. 🙂.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Staying with Paperless for shopping listAs others have mentioned, I prefer the check boxes to swiping - too easy to delete with others updating. It should be an option. I prefer Dropbox to icloud because we use Paperless between icloud accounts. Emailing a list to update is a pain and not efficient realtime (shopping). Color and font size should be improved. Visual is important. I read the reviews and the developer blog but purchased it to see for myself the issues and to support the developer. I see this as another useful list app separate from a checklist for shopping..Version: 1.1.1
✓ List Inception and subtle improvementsSo far, so good. I downloaded this app because I love Paperless but recognize that its simplicity has some limitations. I intend to use both apps for different purposes -- I do prefer the colorful icons that Paperless has, and will keep using that for a few simple lists I want to be able to access easily, but Ikiru can have more than two levels of nesting lists, which I appreciate, and is very simple to use once you get used to the differences. For instance, being able to drag and drop list items without getting into edit mode first is extremely convenient for to-do lists where you want to change the priorities as you go, and being able to reuse checklists and have them return to their original order is a distinct, if subtle, improvement. I look forward to finding more subtle improvements as I continue to use the app. Since I expect to use Ikiru on a daily basis, I don't mind the higher cost. A good five dollar app that gets used every day has better value than five $0.99 apps that get used rarely or are frustrating to use. I do wish there was an OS version though so I could pull up my lists on my laptop..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Love this AppI keep a myriad of lists in Ikiru, from book recs, menus, shopping lists. PLEASE PLEASE let this sync to Apple Watch!.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Lists!When this app was released I migrated over from Paperless. The interface is very clean and quite intuitive. You swipe right to cross an item off the list when it’s done, or swipe left to delete it. Very handy for shopping or packing lists. Cloud syncing works seamlessly between devices and also provides data backup. The app was broken after the iOS 13 update but the developer responded quickly and fixed the bug after I reported it here. Now working perfectly again..Version: 1.2
✓ Awesome!I love this app. Easy. Flexible. Simple. Everything I was looking for..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Wonderful and SimpleAfter paying for countless apps that made organizing my life a complicated chore this one is heaven sent. So simple, so logical, so adjustable. Simply wonderful. And works on my Apple watch too. I just loooove it..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Add paperless icons and checkboxes for 5 starsAlmost there. Got spoiled with paperless but a good start..Version: 1.2.2
✓ OutstandingBeen waiting for a to do / notes / organiser like this!!! 10/10.Version: 1.0.5
✓ So Easy! Best App for Keeping Track!!!I have used Ikiru for years and Paperless before that. I can’t find any other app that works so effectively and fluidly for keeping things organized and easy to find and retrieve. I use it for everything. It keeps my life organized! I especially love the way you can make folders within folders within folders. It makes it so quick to find exactly the item you need. The thousands of icons are fun and quick and help you find things at a glance. I also love the way you can slide items around and rearrange them as priorities change. It’s great for adding photos, copy & paste, moving, rearranging, exporting, checking off. It does almost everything you could hope for. I only wish it did bold, italics, and bullet points. It’s such a fantastic app!!! Thank you to the developers! I just LOVE Ikiru!!!!!.Version: 1.2.2
✓ My favoriteI’ve tried a lot of apps to get organized. This one is simple and has features I love!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Absolutely Love This App!!!Over the years I've gone through DOZENS of "to-do" list apps. I've always been a list maker but after a stroke, things I need to do jump into my head and right back out. When I found "paperless" I'd found the ALMOST ideal to do list. I used it daily but there were a few things I really wished I could do and I ended up still using the old fashioned paper and pen method. Ikiru has solved all those problems! With Ikiru I am able to put lists within lists within lists! I also love the different sorting methods (alphabetical, drag and drop, and order in which item was input). I love that I can add photos of a specific item (great for when you send your hubs to the grocery store!). If you're a geek/nerd you're going to love some of the icons and suggested icons (put in something with life...almost made me spit out my coffee I was lol'ing so hard). I do, however, miss being able to change the backgrounds to several different patterns and colors and I miss the colorful icons. But to have a list app that is so powerful I don't mind all that much. It is a bit confusing at first...especially if you've been a paperless user, but it's become easier over the last couple of weeks as I've explored through it. Honestly, it's the best $5 I've spent in months and I almost never spend money on apps. Especially more than $0.99 but really I couldn't be happier with it. It has made my world so much easier and ordered. It's absolutely wonderful..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Go on !Great start. Almost there. Would love to see that you can use URL that get recognized and open in a browser. Would like to see just first line of item and not text below. But all in all great app. Keep it on the track !.Version: 1.1.1
✓ I've never been so organised10/10 would recommend.Version: 1.0.4
✓ Best To Do AppI must have tried every ToDo app in my time, but they all lacked at least one feature that I wanted. Not any more! This one does the lot!!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Good appThis could be my #1 app..but not yet. It’s almost there. When you use the lists in lists capability the back button is a real chore, please add ‘swipe for back’ action. Also would love to see an option to resize the font..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Love ItUse it all the time. Great syncing across my devices. Would love to be able to use my Apple Pencil for note taking!.Version: 1.1.2
✓ Impressed app so far...This is a good app with lists and notes etc but best of all the sync from iphone to iPad using iCloud is magic! Just what I have been looking for. Most list apps don't sync....Version: 1.0.4
✓ Everything is fixed now I’m happyAll good now.Version: 1.2.1
✓ IkiruJe préférais les fonds de couleur et des icônes colorées de Paperless, mais les nouvelles fonctions sont très bien..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Ikiru Lists: A productivity app that's actually productive.NOTE: Hmm. Seems there’s confusion in these review between Ikiru and Paperless (also from Crush Apps). I have both apps. They’re similar in their powerful and flexible list/note structure, but very different in purpose. Ikiru’s strength is in the added task functions: due list, lists within lists, intuitive swipe-to-complete, photos, etc. If you need keep many massive text-based lists, Paperless is your guy. If you’re looking for the easiest productivity app out there, then Ikiru is what you need. HERE’S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT IKIRU LISTS As many as you want, lists within lists, huge selection of icons, drag lists to order them, flick right to check an item off, flick right again to restore it. It doesn’t get simpler. NOTES Ikiru is the only organizer app I’ve found that takes notes seriously. Each list item is an endless plain-text note. (I’ve typed entire an white paper in a note and still didn’t run out of space.) You can also add a photo of the whiteboard to your meeting notes. DUE DATES Add a due date to any item and it appears in a timeline list. A no-nonsense way to keep track of what’s due, overdue or coming up next month. I’ve been using Ikiru for a few years now and am in it 10 hours some days. I use it for work, but the flexibility of design makes it function just as easily for organizing your life, organizing anything else or organizing all three at the same time. Somebody finally made productivity easy. Hurrahlleleujah..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Nice successor to Paperless, but with some shortcomingsBeing a fan of Paperless I had to try Ikiru from the same publisher. The introduction of nested lists is quite attractive. It was easy to try Ikiru as importing my lists from Paperless was straightforward. My first impression of Ikiru is good, but I have a few issues. I would like to see a backup and restore capability (I don't like to depend on iTunes). The user interface: displaying the first 3 lines of an item in the same font is too confusing. It would be better to use a different font for the first line (as Paperless does), or to allow the user to select the number of lines per item (or both). By the way, the icons in Paperless are much prettier..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Refined list managementAs a long-time user of Paperless I've found Ikiru to be a definite improvement. The lists within lists are great. Ikiru's interface is similar in many ways to Paperless, but more refined. Syncing via iCloud has been reliable, and faster than Paperless. Repeating items are another welcome addition, but would really benefit from more repeat period options (eg: every 2 weeks). The display of list items would benefit from a more compact view and better delineation (a line between them or slightly different colour backgrounds). Still, overall this is the best list app I've found..Version: 1.0.1
✓ By far the best list app goingReally clean, functional and easy to use. You can set up whatever folders you like, easily import and export, and the design is lovely. It wipes the floor with some of the more popular, well-known solutions and even lets you add photos. I also love the icons (and much prefer them to the ones in Paperless). It may look like a paper-style list app but Ikiru is much more powerful than that. You can use it however you like. Want an inbox folder where you can empty your brain? You can make one. Want a list of when all your tasks are due? Click on the clock icon and voila. If you want you can just list tasks on the main screen and not put any of them into separate lists. It also has powerful import/export features. The import feature is one of the things that makes Ikiru such a gem. You can type a whole list in one window, putting line breaks before each new task. Or you can copy and paste things like recipes and get Ikiru to split them up into individual tasks. And if you want to export and share, you can do this with a list (and all its sub-lists), all your tasks, all completed or all uncompleted. It also works well for making notes (and while the app isn’t multi-platform, you can easily share and export). You can include clickable URLs and add a photo. The only notable thing you can’t do is add tags, labels or contexts to your tasks. Items appear wherever you put them (in a list or on the main screen) and also appear under due dates if they have them. Personally I’m fine with this though, as I wouldn’t use those options anyway (categorising everything in every possible way is often a waste of time rather than a way of being productive). I don’t understand why this app isn’t more well-known. It’s both better and cheaper than many other apps, and well worth the asking price..Version: 1.1.1
✓ IdealI read a book about how to be successful despite poor health. The author advised not having deadlines so I have been searching for an app to organise my work without compulsory todo dates. Ikiru is ideal. Being able to reorganise my lists so easily is perfect for me. There’s only one thing that I would like. That is to be able to change an item to a list or vice versa. But it will be good for me to learn to be more organised..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Love IkiruIt’s a simple to use app with lots of features. Can have several folders all on the home screen with sub folders. Can import or take pictures easily for a specific topic..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Very Good---a couple of suggestionsThe main reason that I bought this app is the ability to back it up to iCloud and access it from different devices. I used Paperless for several years. A couple of things that I really liked about paperless were the variety of icons for the lists, checkboxes within the lists, and the ability to keep my completed list sorted alphabetically while being able to sort my uncompleted list above as I chose. For instance, in my grocery list, I like to be able to sort the uncompleted items by location in the store while maintaining the completed list in alphabetical order for ease of finding the items that I need. I believe this is going to be a really good app for me, and I am pleased that the developer is willing to adjust things according to user needs..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Great app but needs updatingI have been using this app for years. It’s a great note taking app. I love it’s functionality and simplicity. However both my spouse and I have noticed a problem with current notes that are either not saving properly or deleting themselves. Another Ikiru reviewer complained about something similar happening with their notes. I am concerned that this app is not being monitored enough to keep up with iPhone updates. Unfortunately due to the app becoming glitchy I am going to look for a replacement..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Simple But Extremely FunctionalI have tried numerous checklist/reminder apps and this one, in my opinion, is the best there is. Great value for the price. The app is very powerful and does exactly what you need. I love the various sorting abilities, and the strike through to show when there are no more outstanding items. A few things need improving - functions which will hopefully show up in future releases: No ability to add interval repeats (e.g. you can specify every month, but not every 2 months - workaround: use iOS Reminders app. When viewing a reminder, does not display repeating type (e.g. whether the reminder repeats weekly or monthly - you have to select the setting to view how often it repeats). Only items with a reminder are displayed on Apple Watch. I can't use my watch to check off my grocery list - workaround: use my phone. I’m not a big fan of the swipe to complete items. Checkboxes with a quick tap are much easier but I’m sure I’ll get used to it..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Would be 5 if sync stayed onI love Ikiru- simple, easy to manage lists. Just wish icloud syncing would stay in instead of randomly disabling itself..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Fantastic App!I LOVE THIS APP! I was a fan of Paperless and used it for straight up lists but Ikiru has replaced Paperless for those lists and I now do those plus SO MUCH MORE on Ikiru! The best thing I do on it is work on organizing and writing my book on it. Ultimately, I will need to get my content over to my iMac and Scrivener but until I need Scrivener, Ikiru has what I need...the ability to create a hierarchy of chapters and content that is easy to work with on my iPad. I really value the quick and easy email back ups which allow me to see everything that I've entered into the app in a single, clean document while also providing me with another method of back up in addition to the cloud. I am very happy to be able to add photos and reminders. I'm super excited that I now have a single "control center" for everything I do. The Book is just one of my lists and is broken into sublists. I have many lists and love the "list within lists" structure. It's what I've been hoping for!.Version: 1.0.4
✓ Awesome!Using this app for an item database with lists in list plus pictures of items to stock workshop. Kinda wary of putting hours of work in an app when later the developer gives up...fingers crossed...paperless is still around and has longevity. Only complaint is....what took em so long!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Excellent appThis does exactly hat it says it will do. The only thing that would make it better would be if you could share a list/group of lists with another user..Version: 1.0.4
✓ This is my brainThe simple feature of building lists within lists has to be one of the most beneficial things I've seen in an app for me. I output my entire brain into this app. Reminders, events, game and film releases, projects, random ideas... everything. You can always find a symbol to match the list folders and being able to add pictures to items is a very nice touch. The app is current and fully supported in iOS 10 and I would be lost without it. For a couple of quid it has given me peace of mind that nothing else has!! Give it a go!.Version: 1.0.4
✓ Functional but ColorlessApp does everything as promised. As a Paperless user for several years, found Ikiru better. Would have given the App 5 stars had a little imagination been used to add some Color..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Love it !So simple and clean. A list maker's perfect app.Version: 1.0.3
✓ More of a Notes app than a List app, to meIkiru is a nice app. I've been using it quite a bit. It works reliably, including synchronization across two iPads and an iPhone. It really doesn't look like a "list" app, though. I came to Ikiru from the same developer's earlier Paperless app, which looks a lot more like a "list" app, with nice checkboxes to mark list items complete. Ikiru, like many post-iOS7 apps, doesn't look like anything but a bunch of white space with random items floating in it, devoid of contextualizing user interface elements that make it intuitive how to use it. How I do use Ikiru is more like how I use the Notes app, or Simplenote, or Bear, than like Paperless or Chaos Control or the Reminders app. I use it as much for note content as for lists. And I never mark anything complete in Ikiru, because I don't like strike-through -- why would I want text I took the trouble to type into an iOS device to be rendered semi-illegible by being struck through? I prefer checkboxes for marking items complete. Man, I am complaining! Ikiru hits my pet peeves. But it does work well and I do use it..Version: 1.0.5
✓ The list app I’ve been looking for!I love this app. It’s intuitive to use, beautiful to look at, AND it lets me duplicate lists. Also has list-within-list functionality. I have tried A LOT of list apps but this is one is my favourite. Worth every penny - thanks for making it!.Version: 1.0.7
✓ Almost perfect - needs colored iconsPaperless, Ikiru’s parent, is almost perfect but is missing lists within lists (within lists). Ikiru adds that, but its small monochrome icons aren’t as useful as Paperless’ colored icons. It’s much faster to scroll through many items to find what you want if you can recognize icons by their color. The small monochrome ones looks very similar to each other so are almost no use at all. Ikiru chooses form over function in this case. Other than that, the best list app out there IMO..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Well madeMy go-to for lists. But dang, it could use some color!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Oustanding improvement over Paperless...I strongly disagree with some of the harsh reviews. I understand that some people don't like change but this app is a worthy successor to Paperless. Using the app shows that the developer has put a lot of time, love and effort into creating a must have app. Ikiru is much cleaner and the monochromatic icons make the app look uniform. Paperless was starting to look dated, so I love the visual improvements of Ikiru. I don't have the greatest eyes and find the text easy to read. The dark theme is awesome for viewing lists at night. Now finding icons is super easy with a word search. The addition of lists within lists is a huge improvement over Paperless. I like the removal of the small checkboxes which was sometimes hard to check off in Paperless. Now a simple swipe makes it much easier to check off items. $5 is a bargain for such a useful app and is an incredible successor to Paperless. Now I only hope that that the developer will create Ikiru for Mac..Version: 1.0.2
✓ LOVE IT!! Liked paperless,Love IkiruI used Paperless and thought it was fabulous, and Ikiru is even better. All Lists are “check lists” just by swiping Right. Easy to restore a swiped item to refurnish your list. Delete is swipe to Left. This app is clean and fresh, very straight forward just as Paperless was. Has enough features but not confusing or crowded..Version: 1.1.2
✓ This is an excellent application...The concept and flexibility of this application lends itself to adapt to your workflow brilliantly. It’s highly functional in its simplicity which is a very difficult balance to achieve. So far it has been very stable and I am yet to fully appreciate the flexibility this application has to offer. This application has one of the rare attributes of all applications and that is you find yourself being drawn to it when you have the desire to jot something down or schedule a reminder to do something. Ikiru is usurping a number of other applications I have been using for over a decade. And that natural response to attract you to use Ikiru or any application is a very rare experience. There are some shortcomings and omissions as with any application. But for me the power of this application is overriding my need for the missing functionality. And that is telling in the power the application has in its usefulness to override its shortcomings. But I am going to list them in the hope the developer is working on them and will introduce the missing functionality. Scheduling - Scheduling is very basic, bare minimum in fact but is useful enough to get by. But custom repeats are definitely needed. Navigation - Navigation could be improved with a simple Home button however there are workarounds available using links. And a big one is an OS X version of the application, this would make this app complete and highly competitive. There are a few other functions that would improve the user experience. But the more I use Ikiru, the more I like it. Sunday, December 2, 2018 - 10:20:49AM.Version: 1.1.2
✓ Great app. One of a kind.Not many apps out there have this sleek look and allow you to make folders, sub folders etc. My suggestion would be to have a “highlight” option for to do items that you want to mark as priority. Perhaps an option on a swipe that results in background colour for that item being a few shades different than other items that are not “highlighted”. Besides that this app is awesome for the price. I have purchased it twice now. I give this app a 4.5!.Version: 1.1.2
✓ Just what I was looking forA perfect fit for my requirements. It does nothing more and nothing less, so is not encumbered with unwanted and unused features. However, I wish I’d known about it before I purchased Paperless literally five minutes earlier! Needless to say, this app, which uses iCloud instead of Dropbox, has the date due feature, and lets you create lists within lists, is much better. I actually don’t think Paperless should still be on sale to new purchasers in the App Store..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Best List App I’ve FoundBest of paperless app, but with more functionality, my only thing would be more apple watch functions!.Version: 1.0.7
✓ Love thisAll the extras I wished Paperless had are in Ikiru.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Needs a few updatesGreat app and good improvement on paperless, but could do with an option to make the font size bigger or smaller like on paperless and also a feature to tell if a user has made a list item of the same name..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Great app. Well worth it.Love it.Version: 1.0.4
✓ Really cool list appI love this app; it has useful features to make and view lists that a lot of other list apps ignore. For example, you can email a list to someone else and they can import the list into their copy of the app; it worked seamlessly when my son sent me his list of game figures. It’s pretty, thoughtful and exudes attention to detail. I really would like it to support drag and drop for pictures, using this app to maintain items with a pictures attached to each one is fun, but I don’t like navigating the attach picture pop up every time; I’d rather keep the photos app open on the side and drag pictures onto items. Tags/labels, lists that you can group by tags/dates/status and an album/grid view to browse lists with pictures would be nice features. Thanks for the great app!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Great app, just needs tree view!This app is great, and expands on the functionality of the Paperless app with the ability to have subfolders, etc. I would love to be able to expand or collapse folders in tree view - this would make it much easier to see items in subfolders. Thanks!.Version: 1.0.7
✓ Please updateFor the love of god update your app.Version: 1.2.2
✓ List makers delight!I downloaded Ikiru after using Paperless for years. It's a lot more functional for me than Paperless because I can now make lists within lists. Looks way more organized this way. I also love how you can easily copy/move items/lists from one place to another without having to retype it. One feature it's missing, and hopefully they'll consider adding, is the ability to link a separate list within a list. For example, I'd like to be able to link my 'house cleaning' list (which is a sublist of Chores) into my 'To Do' list (which is on my main screen) so when I open my to do list and see I need to do house cleaning I can just tap it without having to back out. Also, I would LOVE some themes! Overall, great job, you guys did everything in this app that I would have suggested in a upgraded version of Paperless..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Even better than PaperlessPaperless was great and I ran my life by it but this is even better! Terrific program. I love it!.Version: 1.0.2
😕 Ikiru Negative Reviews
