Clear Lists for Negative User Reviews
✓ Why would the developers remove the alarm function?I was having an amazing time using Clear to get my life in order. It was simple, satisfying, and powerful to handle all of the things I need. For me however, I need all of my lists, alarms, reminders, in one place, ideally in a minimal format. That was Clear for a long time. Then they had an update and the alarm/reminder function for list entries got removed? I’ve searched high and low and can’t find that feature, which pretty much ruins the usability for me. The app became significantly less powerful. While I’d love to recommend this app, and absolutely could upon reentry of that feature, I do not use it anymore as of now. I would also be happy to edit this review to 5 stars if the alarm/reminder feature was re-introduced. Thanks.Version: 2.1.2
✓ AWFUL AFTER UPDATEThis app is a dumpster fire. The last update completely ruined everything that used to be good about it. Before the most recent update I would have recommended this app to anyone in the most glowing terms. It was perfect. It did everything I needed and nothing else. The interface was clean, legible, and easily navigated. It is now NONE OF THOSE THINGS. The app is littered with icons, themes, list making challenges, font collection challenges, and a million other “features“ that no one ever needed. It’s like a cross between a small town carnival and a video game for children to teach them how to write words in a column. I’m deleting this piece of trash from my life..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Icloud sync?Have had this app for 10 years. Easily one of my favourite. Sadly it no longer syncs across devices. And it looks like mac version no longer supported..Version: 2.1.4
✓ Missing functionality and watch app missingHi i recently paid for your app i read the ad you guys posted but unfortunately i dint find it working on apple watch.. 2 nd most important point i downloaded the todo list to keep few task as daily and i expected this app has a repeat loop for some tasks I could not find any way to set a list of task on daily repeat loop i can only set them once as per the calendar So if u guys can make up these to points i will have u guys 5 stars and i will ask my team to download this app as well plz give the update asap Thanks in advance 🙏.Version: 1.7.7
✓ UpdateUsed this app for years and never had a problem. Since the recent update I have lost at least two of my most recent entries on different days..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Lost all my listsI used this app for many years and it was very helpful. Now I have lost all my lists and it’s a big problem for me. I don’t think that I will use this app again..Version: 2.0
✓ Scandal. Doesn’t work since updateWhat a mistake I made, thinking I was doing the right thing by downloading the update. The app remains on a black screen. I no longer have access to the hundreds of notes I've kept for 5 years. What a scandal!.Version: 2.0
✓ Overhyped and Glitchy.RealMac software have been around for a long time, with above-average but not top-tiering Mac Software. But unfortunately, the overhype behind this app has come around to kick them in a painful spot. Pretty User Interface is pretty much the only "new feature" this app offers to users. They manage to pull this off, but the gesture use is too heavily laden, and they often do not work on my iPhone 4. Swiping to create a new list or item often glitches the app. The keyboard does not show and I am often forced to close the application from App Switcher and try again. Bottom line: Save your money and use Reminders that shipped with iOS 5. This app also charged me twice..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Wow very disappointedWith all the press this app got you'd think it turned water into wine. But instead I'm reminded what an echo chamber the tech blogosphere is. They should call this app "tasks for hipsters" because if you don't like it people tell you that you just don't get it. What I get from using this app is frustrated and annoyed. Having to memorize gestures in order to use this app is just plan wrong. Mark a task off as done by mistake and you have no choice but to reenter it. LAME! Ohhh but it has sounds and pretty colors and gestures...please give your heads a shake. Exclusivity by obscurity...sounds pretty hipster to me..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Truly horrible updateUsed this app all the time happily for years! Then the update got rid of syncing between devices which is absolutely one of the main things that made it useful. Apparently the creators feel this wasn’t a needed feature and that somehow syncing was already not working? It worked just fine for my family before. They suggested just taking screen shots to share. Why don’t I just write a list on paper and take a picture of it to share then? I could have any beautiful font and pencil color I want for free, and the same functionality. That would be as stupidly backward as this insanely “updated” app. In addition, it’s so much slower when adding items than it was before, with this annoying stuttering delay every time you pull down for a new entry. I’ve found zero new positives for the update. Who asked for all this pointless aesthetic drivel, half of which costs extra money? I just wanted a functioning list app and now this isn’t one :(((.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Excellent, but…Everything I want in a task manager: intuitive, beautiful, and not bogged down with too many bells and whistles. BUT! It will no longer synchonise between devices. I’ve disabled & reenabled iCloud, uninstalled & reinstalled, rebooted devices - no joy. I've paid for this for iPhone, iPad, and MacOS, but without sync, I've switched to Microsoft’s excellent To Do app..Version: 1.7.8
✓ 6 months of beat-up anda damp squibWell, we've had 6 months of test pilots and rah rah rah, and for what? An app that looks like it was on something long before a Palm. No instructions, no Undo button. A performance to set an alert. It's so easy to lose an item on a list. I don't need fonts, colours, themes. I just need what I had, an app that works. But it needs an undo facility. Where are the settings? Where is tuition? If I could give half a star I would! Please go back to what we had, at least it worked, and the version before that was even better. So disappointed..Version: 2.0.1
✓ I thought this would be simpleI’m 60 years old, been using Apple Reminders for years but the app is incredibly buggy on my phone, to the point it’s really not usable anymore. I wanted a simple Reminders app that was like Reminders, where I could set shopping lists, daily and weekly reminders in categories. Many popular reminders apps don’t have categories like Food shopping. This one sounded like what I wanted. I just bought it and am so frustrated already! Ot has one list now “personal” but there is nothing that says how to add a new list/category. No support that I can see either. The swipes and pinches are confusing why can’t these apps use the simple interface Reminders does? I am desperate for my old Reminders app (started to have problems after an upgrade 3 years ago and no one can help me fix it). This was not it! I don’t understand how to use it and wasted $5..Version: 1.7.10
✓ So bad. Used to be amazing.I have been using, and loving, this app since it first came out 10 years ago. Now it is terrible. The developers seem to have forgotten its original claim to fame was SIMPLICITY! We don’t need bells and whistles, and calendar reminders, and colour schemes. Just an easy to use app that is easy to read, synchs between devices so I can enter a grocery list on either my iPad or iPhone, and pull out my phone to review it in the grocery store. Or hardware store. Or clothing sizes. Or Things to do today. And a quick swipe left to delete things as I go. There are many ToDoList Apps out there and they are ALL too complex. I would happily have paid $20 to $30 per year to keep the original easy peasy version of Clear if someone had asked. And I suspect others would have too. So sad. Why do we always have to make things “better”? It used to be perfect. 😢.Version: 2.1.6
✓ WARNING DO NOT USE LOST ALL MY LISTSHow do you update an app that’s made to hold all my information and then wipe all of it?!?! This is the only reason an app has value and you’ve destroyed years of my work by erasing everything with no warning or consent. This is an untrustworthy company, don’t use this tool because they won’t respect the data you put into it..Version: 2.0
✓ Too many unnecessary changes…Loved this app when it first came out. I’ve been using it consistently for years. It was simple, satisfying and to the point. But the recent changes have left me annoyed. Specifically the loss of the list numbers on the right side. That was hugely helpful to see how many items you had left to do. Also, the app feels clunky now, no longer smooth. It’s trying to be to cute. The automatic strike through is annoying. The hidden back button is annoying. The sort of gamifying is annoying. All that being said, I’ll still use it until I find something better. But PLEASE bring back the list numbers on the right, oh and add an option for the basic classic version like it was before..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Can we go back to how it was?I LOVED the old version. The recent update has me considering abandoning after what must be 10 years. I dislike the fonts and cheesy animations. It was a designer app now it’s more Comic Sans than Gotham..Version: 2.0.2
✓ What happened?I was initially excited to see that one of my all time favorite apps that had seemingly been long abandoned by its devs was getting a refresh… but the new app seems to have abandoned the minimalism, speed, and simplicity that made it so great in favor of some third rate Etsy store live-laugh-love aesthetic and spong-y UI that feels slower, more complicated, and cartoony. The dropping of syncing between my devices however is the real death knell. It’s gone from my bread-and-butter essential app to a half-baked colorfully frosted cupcake. I’m hoping this is just an artifact of rearchitecting the backend and hiring the wrong designer and at some point this app will return to its former glory and brutalist efficiency. Why is it so hard for anyone to build a simple lightning fast to-do app that doesn’t try to be a GTD platform or whatever weird thing Clear 2.0 is trying to be?.Version: 2.0.2
✓ Desperately need syncing backI’m still using the old version of this app, I’ve had to turn off auto updates so I can keep syncing between my macs and phone. The app shouldn’t have relaunched without syncing working. Watching for future updates so i can change my review back to a 5 star.Version: 2.0.2
✓ Wish I hadn’t let this one update.The new design is clunky and not as customizable as they claim (why allow me to set a font size if it’s not going to be uniformly applied across the app?) and the pointless animations slow everything down. The new philosophy seems to be about making the app a “sustainable” business venture through microtransactions rather than focusing on what works. I can’t sync across devices or even see how many items are in a list, but there is a rotation of fonts and themes available for purchase in the store—and I’m encouraged to buy them all now before they vanish. For years I’ve loved using this app because of its quick, simple interface. Now, if I were to continue to use Clear at all (I don’t intend to), it would be in spite of its slow, ugly interface. I wish I had never let this app update..Version: 2.0
✓ Ruined since UpdateRuined a brilliant app since the update can’t even figure out if possible to add a reminder time and date. Really annoying when I have paid for this app- if they wanted to create a new app- then create a second new app one stead of ruining what we have already bought..Version: 2.0
✓ ClearThis was my most favourite app. Used it daily for a long time. Why has it changed to this dreadful version which to be honest I don’t even know how to use. Unfortunately I will have to search for a replacement as it is no longer any use to me.Version: 2.0
✓ Still will not syncHaving received an email advising of a (sort of) relaunch of an update to Clear coming soon, I thought I’d try it again. I wondered why I had stopped using it years ago because I totally love the design and the principles of operation. After putting it on one ipad and then on the iphone, I got a message that iCloud sync didn’t; and, yes, I did switch on the sync. Switched sync off and on again and it still won’t work. Ah yes, that’s why I stopped using Clear some years ago – the sync just stopped working. Undaunted, I thought I’ll try it on my iPad Pro too. Well, there seems to be no way that I can even get to the Settings on the iPad Pro to even try to turn on iCloud sync to trial it. Why, does the new installation not have a List labelled “Introduction” and which continues simple instructions? I’ll try the new version when it arrives but the sync had better work..Version: 1.7.10
✓ Your update wiped all my listsYour update wiped all my lists.Version: 2.0
✓ Terrible update, iCloud sync brokenI’ve used Clear for years, very happily, on iPhone and iPad. I thoroughly regret this latest update and wish I could roll back to the old version. I don’t like the interface now—it’s chunky and horrible. But worst of all, iCloud sync broke!!! This renders the app useless to me. I am so dismayed. I read the explanation on a blog post, but my gods, iCloud sync is such a necessary and useful feature …. I can’t imagine a productivity app that won’t do this. So, so, so upset. :-(.Version: 2.0.1
✓ DO NOT DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSIONJust downloaded the latest update, and ALL my list have vanished! You get a new how-to use screen, no way to access your previous lists. Nothing in archive. No way to retrieve a backup. Years of notes and numbers GONE!!.Version: 2.0
✓ I used to love this app, but the latest update is garbageThis used to be my go to app for lists for close to a decade but the latest update is another example of people making updates for the sake of updates. The UI is now “redesigned from the ground up” for no apparent reason with font sizes and colors that would make my grandma proud (and are on the verge of giving me a seizure). My existing lists were reshuffled, random new lists were added into the mix, and the colors, regardless of the theme you choose, are garish. And, again, what problem were the developers trying to address? Now the app just makes me sad and a little angry..Version: 2.0
✓ Writing this in hopes of a fix…Firstly, I don’t want to bash this app. I’ve been faithfully using this for years, long after support for it had all but ceased. Even when updates were sparse, I continued to use it because no other app had made lists so simple and intuitive. When I heard it was getting a major update, I was so excited for a fresh coat of paint. I’d say overall, outside of a few bugs that I’m sure are being worked on, it’s a much more enjoyable experience. That being said, the most recent update re-added badges for each list, but opted for a total list count instead of a count for things you had scheduled that day (as in the previous version). My primary use for the app is as a to-do list, so a daily count of things I need to do is very useful. I’m hoping that can be patched but perhaps I’m in the minority of people who use the app in this way. Otherwise, excellent work from developers who seem to listen to feedback from their users..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Forgotten App :(I’m migrating to iOS Reminders app. This app is good. It used to be great. Looks like the developers have stopped working on it. No updates in 3 years. The latest iOS update has made the app so buggy it’s pretty much unusable. There’s no way to contact the developer..Version: 1.7.8
✓ Way to shut out everyone with out an iPhone 5 or iOS6.Guess it's a good thing I have an old version of this app, the makers here saw fit to say "screw everyone with old software or firmware" and made it iOS6 only, for no particularly good reason..Version: 1.2
✓ Zero customer serviceThe fact RealMac said I had to contact Impending, about my problems I have had with the app, and gave me 3 different email addresses for them, of which I’ve written to and never received so much as one response or acknowledgment over the last few months is astounding to me. Has put me right off this app. It’s not much to ask is it?.Version: 1.7.10
✓ Could be better👎limited number of characters 👎can't edit text once entered 👎can't geotag 👎can't add reminders.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Almost...I've been waiting for this for weeks. Now it's here and, well, I'm disappointed. It tries so hard to be simple that it fails at being practical. For example, I like to keep my checked items at the bottom of the list (shopping list items etc.) but if I swipe up on the screen too vigorously, the checked items list clears completely with no option to undo. Useless if all you want to do is quickly scroll to the bottom of a list. There are a few other counter-intuitive aspects which makes the app a little too "twitchy" to be used on the run. A few settings options to disable some features would be perfect..Version: 1.0
✓ Would dive been nice if it could sync across devices.It is too bad there is no account so it can sync across devices. It's a bit awkward to have to make a list on my iPhone, but not have it on my iPad, and if I want it to see in both places I need to make the list twice and cancel tasks twice (on each device).Version: 2.0
✓ Great app, but iCloud Drive syncing undependableI consider Clear to be the best todo list and tracking app that I have used! While I have used it, I used it on my iPhone, my iPad, and my Macs. It is the simplest, easiest app of its kind to use! Sad to say though, I have had to stop using Clear because after the introduction of ICloud Drive, the syncing between my devices is so sporadic that I can no longer depend on it to be done in a timely fashion amongst all devices. What troubles me the most about this is that my other 10 or 12 apps that use iCloud drive work just fine, so I do not understand why the folks who maintain Clear cannot do so as well. During repeated reports of this problem to the developers, I cooperatively tried every recovery methodology that they suggested; all to no successful/continuous remedy of my reported problems. Clear developers: when you get iCloud Drive working properly, then I will be back because as I say, the Clear app is the best todo list app out there so all you have to do is get your iCloud Drive syncing working properly and consistently for me to use it again..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Great, but...No ipad app, and a terribly expensive desktop app. If these problems were both fixed, Clear would be the uncontested 5-star winner. As it stands however, Clear is talking to itself in the wilderness..Version: 1.2
✓ How to break an AppClear was my go to App for creating lists. Simple, clean and effective, it did one job very, very well. It also synced with the MacOS version until recently. Then a new developer took it on, added lots of fancy colours and fonts - but removed the sync facility. I’m at a complete loss. What once worked so well, just doesn’t work anymore. To make matters worse, the App auto updated, so now I have no way of going back. Disappointed..Version: 2.1.1
✓ 0.5GBHalf a gig for a todo app is a joke.Version: 2.1.5
✓ V2 launch not going smoothly, hold off for now (but come back)Clear is a great app, in theory... but at the moment, a lot of stuff is not working. The devs are very responsive on their own forums, and helping people, but they have serious issues currently with sync. Other bugs too, like the iPad app tap areas are wrong. Just wait a month maybe..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Black ScreenAfter latest update, there is now just a black screen when opening the app. Literally nothing. All previous notes gone. Cool update bro….Version: 2.1.3
✓ TerribleI’ve had this app for many years and loved using the dark blue tapered hues of the theme of my choice. I updated the app yesterday and it’s aweful. The colours are garish and horrible and if there is no way to go back to what I had then I shall be removing it. Is there a solution ?.Version: 2.0
✓ Where is iCloud sync?ICloud sync is basic enough. Without it, this app is just too shabby..Version: 2.1.3
✓ Absolutely awful updateWon’t sync, loss of features and simple functionality, line spacing does not reduce with font size reduction - I could go on but I’m just stunned at how bad an update this is..Version: 2.0
✓ Totally broken since new versionI’ve happily used this app for years with no problems (thanks!) but shortly after updating to the new version I find that it’s crashing on launch every time and is no longer usable. I hope it’s being fixed as I have saved lists that I refer to frequently and it will be painful to recreate them in any new app that I find as a replacement. Also not a fan of the ‘bigger’ UI, and before it broke completely, the app was considerably slower than the old version. Would be very grateful for a fix asap. Thanks!.Version: 2.0
✓ Ruined !!!V2.0 removes the sync feature between iPhone/iPad and Mac! This was the single best feature of the app. Worse still, the “upgrade” to v2 is forced and there’s no way to revert back to v1.7, so the app is now redundant for me. I guess I need to find a new todo app….Version: 2.0
✓ Deleted everythingI had a lot of personal stuff saved on Clear…scum company!!.Version: 2.0.2
✓ Ruined a Good ThingThe appealing part about the original clear, until yesterday, was it’s wonderfully invisible design. Design so good, you didn’t notice it. Typography and interactions so good, you didn’t have to think. The new version is not that. Drop shadows on text, no delineation between items in a list, long lists just look like one colour block, not separate items. Whatever they thought they were buying, they have erased. This is now a failure, unusable. It’s been a great ten years or so..Version: 2.0
✓ Next to useless...1) doesn't sink lists between devices 2) very tight limit on number of characters per reminder 3) won't paste info from other apps! (so quickly gave up trying to import lists from my current reminder app- which, incidently isnt a recognised reminder app- but it does all of these things) It's not a matter of not wanting to use this app, it's a matter of not being able to! Can't believe no one else has picked up on these things. Looks pretty though....Version: 1.0.1
✓ Used to be my favouriteThis app used to be my favourite list app, the UI was beautiful. Unfortunately hasn’t been updated for years and now quite unusable on iPhone 14 Plus..Version: 1.7.8
✓ What is wrong with this app?I loved Clear. Used it for years. Its a super simple app that works well. I have no idea at all why this is 432Mb. It’s larger than whole operating systems were. It’s a to-do app with a minimal UI, which was the whole point of the app. It could be done in half a meg of JavaScript. I don’t trust it now..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Save your $$Horrible. Complete waste of 99 and time..Version: 1.0.1
✓ ScandaleuxUne application qui fonctionnait très bien depuis des années! Il n’y a même plus de transfert entre le iPhone et le iPad, ce qui pourtant existait depuis plus de 10 ans…. Pourquoi faire simple quand tu peux faire compliqué 😵💫.Version: 2.0.2
✓ Bring back the old versionToo many issues - new version is slow and laggy, you have to swipe right (the same gesture as ‘complete’!) to set a reminder, “done” has disappeared from the keyboard when entering an item, and the iPad version just crashes. I deleted it and reinstalled but now ‘settings’ has been removed I can’t sync it across devices. Terrible..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Problems with new updateNew version is slower, doesn’t always load up, enter button doesn’t just save the task it adds a new task now. Why did you need to rewrite this app? It feels like the same just broken now.Version: 2.0
✓ Lists from old version of Clear have disappeared😡Very upset!!! New version of Clear was installed with no warning and all my info on my lists have disappeared..Version: 2.0
✓ Old Version BetterClear 2 is not good. Old version had more themes ready to use and I lost all of that with the update..Version: 2.0
✓ Blue screenUsed this app for years. It was great. As of the last update, lists are inaccessible. Just a solid blue screen is displayed. Not reliable..Version: 2.0
✓ Prrrt...Ok the gestures are cool for 5 minutes, but no date prioritizing, no reminder system: by email, SMS nor pop-up. No task importing / syncing from Apple Reminder, Google or any other. Not impressed, even for 1$..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Why the lost tasks?What a brilliant app, except... (see below). My Wife and I use Clear extensively and have done since it was a free app when it first launched, often promoting it with friends and colleagues alike. However why do the updates always turn off the iCloud sync? With a move to a new phone my Wife has just lost all her task, while this has also happened to me in the past. We have a simple expectation: that an app update should keep the same settings... not doing this has caused the opposite of what Clear is trying to achieve, worse in fact, as we thought the tasks were simple and safe. #mr&mrsfrustrated.Version: 1.7.4
✓ Update deleted my dataI’ve been using Clear for years; the update just deleted my data. Not happy. All I get now is a blue screen..Version: 2.0
✓ Handy, But With Annoying OperationDo you create lists with numerous entries that you will re-use week to week? I do, and find it frustrating to use this app. I have a grocery shopping list with multiple items I buy weekly or fairly often. As I shop, I swipe right to check off items I’ve placed in my cart, and the app works fine. The problem occurs when I swipe left to uncheck items for the following week's shopping - after scrolling beyond the items initially displayed, swiping left on on item causes the app to jump to the bottom of the list and forces me to manually scroll all the way back to the top. Works the opposite way if I’m working with items from the bottom of the list. I guess I’ve come to accept this odd behavior, but it’s an issue I wish the developers would fix, or at least provide control over..Version: 1.7.9
✓ Ugh. I’ve loved this for 12 yearsI’ve loved this app for twelve years. I was excited about new updates. I opened it and the text is gigantic and I can see way fewer of my lists listed because it’s so big. It actually bothers my eyes. This was a paid-for app and I see no way to go back to what it was previously. This is wildly disappointing. I won’t use it the way it looks currently. I imagine it could be helpful for someone that has visual impairments, but for me personally, it’s not. I had a good run with this app. Sorry they’ve made these changes. * I went to personalize the font, selected “tiny” and it’s still larger than before. I think it’s also a color issue. My phone is at half brightness and it’s bothersome to my eyes..Version: 2.0
✓ RuinedSadly this update has ruined the app for me. iCloud sync - removed. The basic UX ruined: what worked flawlessly, like inserting a new entry in between of the existing ones, is very difficult and buggy now. Typography and visual design look really poor compared to the old version. I’d really want to give this update minus one star..Version: 2.0
✓ DisappointingClear still has no search function. Apple’s notes app is so much more useful..Version: 2.0
✓ New “version” is worse 👎🏻If it ain’t broke? Had this app since day one and use it every day. It was perfect, then they abandoned it for a long time and it was buggy. It was fixed in Dec 2022, and that should have been it, done. 2024 and the long-awaited “upgrades” are absolutely pointless. I have no doubt that they are a simply using a guised pathway to making the user pay more in some way. Wait for it….Version: 2.0
✓ RuinedI loved this app I used it all the time. The latest update ruined it. There is now vast quantities of wasted space between lines of text, which means you can see so much less at one time. You have no control over the size of text in each layer of lists. For example, if you set tiny font, you get a tiny font in the final list, but the list above that is a larger, bold font. I hate the updates..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Really? No Syncing?I honestly didn't think people even considered creating ToDo apps without syncing. What's the use? Beautiful UI experience, but until syncing is implemented, this app really has zero value..Version: 1.0
✓ Not compatible with iPod touch (3rd generation) after allIOS 6 isn't available for the iPod touch (3rd generation) so how is it compatible? Guess I won't be updating to v1.2..Version: 1.2
✓ A sad version of it's former selfThis app used to be amazing, and my absolute go-to. But it looks like support has been dropped as the last update was 3 years ago now. I wouldn't bother using it now until the developers decide to come back and fix the bugs!.Version: 1.7.8
✓ Overwrites the old appI have used the original “Clear Todos” for years. Literally 11 years. And this new clear seems cool and great. However, it has overwritten the old app. And all my list that I have had and used for over a decade. I had the beta for this, and it was its own separate thing. But when it came out of beta, it didn’t replace the beta app, it replaced the OG Clear v1 app. And the beta app still exists separately (though that no longer work, which is totally fine). So, be warned that if you use the old app, it will replace it and not bring your lists from the old app to the new..Version: 2.0
✓ Was excellent, now weirdHave been using this list app for years and loved it. It was so simple to use and synched lists between devices, through iCloud. The recent major update has made everything really weird and removed iCloud synching. The font size is now so big it’s ridiculous and there are icons everywhere. They’ve also turned it into a video game with achievements and a store to unlock paid extras. The beauty of this app was how simple and elegant it was; something that is no longer the case. Such a shame..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Weird updateAs a long time user I have mixed feelings about this update. It’s nice that you’re supporting Clear again and have fixed some bugs but the new UI has issues: 1. The “juicy” animations are nice the first few times but they’re too slow. The navigation needs to be snappy 2. Setting a timer on a task is now much less intuitive (pull all the way to the right, it took me a while to find it). If I don’t pull far enough I mark the item as complete and it disappears down the bottom of the list. Frustrating. Why not a little clock icon to tap? 3. If I shake the phone to undo, instead of reverting my last competed item, it adds a new item at the top of the list with the text “Demand”. Weird bug. Why not briefly show an “Undo” action at the bottom after completing or deleting an item? 4. You’ve removed a useful gesture: swipe left while editing to clear all the text. Why? That was useful It just feels like you’re trying to “fix” UI interactions that weren’t broken to begin with.Version: 2.0
✓ So close, but so farIf you want a simple to-do list. This is it. But that's if ALL you want is an absolute basic to-do list. This app could be outstanding, if only the developers were remotely interested in taking user requests into account. The biggest missing thing, is any support for recurring tasks. Without that, this app is almost useless as a general to-do app. EVERYONE has recurring tasks. If you don't mind entering those in, over and over again, then you might like this app. If you think the app should be able to do such a basic task itself, then look elsewhere. Also, this app has a glacial development history. Don't expect a recurring tasks feature to appear for another two years, if ever. There's also no reminder for overdue things. Believe it or not. In fact you can't even see if something is overdue, without looking at the completion date set for EVERY task! It's really sad. This app deserves so much more, from its creators. It just seems they're completely disinterested in it. Sad..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Not as reliable as it used to beSince the last update which fixed the big issues I have noticed a new problem. After editing a note in a list the note sometimes disappears completely. At first I thought I’d made a mistake but it’s happened a few times now. Going to have to switch to a different app. Sad times as I’ve been using this app for years.Version: 1.7.10
✓ Please fix version 2.0I have been a regular user of this app for several years, it was awesome! but I've been experiencing issues since the last update. The iCloud sync problem between my iPad and iPhone prevents me from accessing my lists on the go. Additionally, there is a major malfunction with list management: when I reach the bottom of my list and swipe up to confirm I'm actually at the end, all checked items automatically get deleted. This results in the loss of my entire list, including recurring items I intended to keep. I hope to see these issues resolved quickly!.Version: 2.1.3
✓ Features that I had…goneIt’s pretty but now I’ve got less themes, less sounds, and where the hell are the reminders?!?! Edit: bunch of these are back, although themes for anyone with light sensitivity / photophobia are very limited. And by that I mean, most themes were not too bright before, now nearly all of them are unsuitable. App icons: mine is stuck. I know I have changed it due to notifications on my Apple watch but no change on my phone. Text size: today it randomly changed to enormous old people text size. It’s easy to read, esp if I’m 75, but now I gotta work out how to shrink them 😒 Sounds: limited Also- reminders and adding new tasks, very very clunky. I like the multiple task selection but these other important functions are “meh clunk clunk clunk” on a UI level Dangerously close to dropping to one star.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Back with a phut….Once this was great and utterly indispensable. However, it was neglected by the developers and left paying customers hanging. I moved over to the native Apple Reminders app in the meantime and was keen to to support the new version of Clear when I got the launch email. However, I now see no point in this app. Not only does it suggest you use screenshots to share lists but there is no integration with any of the other apps I use every day. Sorry guys, you dropped the ball but the game moved on. Deleted and fondly remembered..Version: 2.0
✓ Best app I’ve ever installedI’ve been using clear for over 10 years and it is incredible. It’s one of the first apps I ever installed. My whole life is in this app! I love how well it works for shopping lists - the way you swipe to check off items and swipe the other way to bring them back works perfect. Reordering by dragging is great too. It’s so good I was worried when it hadn’t been updated in years but I’m excited there is a fresh update coming soon. I have a meal plan for four weeks, lists of things for packing my suitcase, checklists for taking my kids to swimming lessons, recipes for my favourite foods, life goals, music, grocery lists, specific lists for going on vacation, ideas, checklist for things I need to bring to work, to do lists for my home, movie bucket list, things to talk about at doctor visits, what i bring to my annual golf getaway with the guys, top 10 lists, food orders for specific take out for my family, Christmas wish lists, stuff i declared last time I went through customs, yoga routines and more..Version: 1.7.11
✓ Used to be my go to list app… used to beI’ve been using this app for years and it always was my go to list maker/reminder, it helped me sort and organize my thoughts, with Clear by my side life was a great. Then, like a crummy unfaithful spouse, in a foul swoop everything changed with the most recent update. Font sizes made no sense, categories were lost, picking up where I left off - forgettaboutit jack. It was as if the app had unapologetically met someone new, moved on, and my needs no longer mattered. To top it off, the app would not sync with the cloud, list items I added today would disappear overnight and my thoughts cast aside. It seems this app is long gone with its new lover, speeding down the street taunting me as I stand in driveway in my robe and fuzzy slippers getting the morning paper. Darling please, if you have any love left in your heart please come back, we were such a great pair, organizing the world (ok, yes I confess, perhaps I’ve been selfish, it was always my world…). With your help I could accomplish anything, marking off each glorious achievement with the swipe of my finger… WT*!!!.Version: 2.0.2
