✓ Could be good, but.....Had this a couple of days now and really like the way it works. The only downside for me is that to synchronise across devices you need to take out a dropbox subscription - which can be expensive. Regrettably that has put me off using it and I will probably "drop" the application. EDIT: I have since discovered that a Dropbox subscription is not required (so I am told) but there are several errors in the way this app works on an iPad (Air 2). I am reporting them to the author as I find them, and I would encourage others to do likewise as this app has great potential. It just does not work correctly just now..Version: 3.2.2
✓ No supportNo seems to be supporting this app..Version: 4.0.6
✓ Enough ads! And Needs an updateI love this is app, have been using it for years. But come on, enough with pushing your subscription! Every single time I open the app?! After years of using it, I feel like not using it or even deleting it bc the subscription is being pushed onto me instead of notifying me once & letting me decide! And I just want quick access to my lists..! Also some bugs remain...: However I am STILL unable to view all of my lists if I put more than 3 in a row..one list will go missing! I am aware of the side swipe feature, but one list will be unable to be viewed unless moved to another row..! & also, previously the order of the lists in a row could be changed, now you have to drag them to a different row & manipulate them that way which takes forever. Please fix these glitches!! Thanks for your time. (Will update review if results are seen).Version: 4.0.6
✓ It’s not so goodIt’s not as simple and easy They need to add a tutorial on how to use it.Version: 4.0.4
✓ List Items Keep DisappearingI like the way this app visually organizes my lists. However, just as I’m transferring my 70+ list items I noticed items are disappearing. I was also unable to access and click on the email backup button (I can see it when I scroll up but cannot keep it on the screen to click on it.) I don’t recommend this app..Version: 4.0
✓ Not enough recurrence optionsThere are some good things about this app, but the deal-breaker for me is the recurrence settings. I need more powerful choices with recurrence: first Monday of every month, every 5 weeks, every other week (fortnightly might do this, I'm not sure because I thought a fortnight was 20 days). I can live with some other limitations, but if I can't control recurrence it's useless. So, until that changes I won't be using it. I may leave it installed on my iPad to watch the updates. Unlike other users, I prefer Dropbox sync to iCloud, so kudos for that. Dropbox sync works better and more reliably, and the syncing can be done between devices with different iCloud logins: with my husband, for example..Version: 2.8
✓ Not for smaller iphones?!I can’t see the bottom of the page (where you check things off etc) - I have paid for premium - you would think it would come with a warning if it’s not usable on older models? Not everyone wants a giant new iphone? I literally can’t even hold one because my hands are too small. Sort it out please or how do I get my money back????.Version: 3.2.4
✓ Don't care for it...going back to standard Reminders appDon't like the way your lists move around between priority levels on their own. Don't like that reminders, whether by location or due date, apply to a whole list only and can't be applied to just specific items on a list. This forces you to have several similar lists just so each can have its own alerts. I'm deleting and going back to the reminders app that came standard on my phone. Sorry Orderly, but not worth the money. Too bad you can't get a refund when you don't like an app you paid for..Version: 3.2
✓ Was a good app UNTIL the last updatePrior to the update, swiping right was an intuitive way to mark a task as completed, while preserving the user-created order of tasks. This was very useful for repetitive tasks like grocery shopping, as items could be marked complete according to store layout, for example. A recent update now uses a check mark method, moving completed tasks to the bottom of the list and therefore changing the order of the list. This creates jumbled list items which hardly useful, if at all. After several years of using this as my preferred app for creating shopping and to-do lists, I’ve basically stopped using it due to the recent update which changes the preferred order of items on my lists..Version: 4.0.4
✓ Subscription slaveryI downloaded it because i heard there was a sale. but then i deleted it because i found out there's a subscription..Version: 4.0.3
✓ Due date and priority rankCan't put due date on a task and priority rank at the same time! The task is reassigned to a lower priority by itself when due date is not immediate!!! A longer due date should not mean the priority is lower. It should be the user who determines the priority, not the app!.Version: 2.4
✓ It's OK, but....As other users have said, it is a very pretty app. Ease of use is ... not. There is no user manual - that I could find - so things like adding due dates to items within a list - ????: Seems to have limitations in length of list and length of Titles of Lists. Also acted "wonky" when creating a list with more than 8 items. Only able to see the bottom items and would not allow me to scroll to top to see the first items. Also would not allow mw to edit or add to the list. Afraid this is not going to make the cut..Version: 3.2
✓ App not convenient or easy to useIt seems to be just me but I've had multiple problems with this app. The due dates do not save and when I come back into my list my due dates are reset to be the time that I am entering the list. If I have multiple items on the list I can cross them off but nothing resets and if I have something that recurs it does not reset to the next occurrence. The priority level also resets every time I go into a list. If I have items marked as medium or high priority when I go into a list and leave without resetting the priority level it automatically sets it to low and saves it..Version: 2.9.5
✓ New updateEvery since the recent update, the app will not open anymore. Every time I click on the app and the loading screen will appear and then it'll crash..Version: 2.9.5
✓ Good ... 'til nowI've used this app for years and like it. It does what it's intended to, keep lists. Lately, though, it's slowed down and sometimes made unusable by a persistent to upgrade to the premium backup. Deleting the app and reinstalling it are too chancy, so I'm looking for an alternative list app..Version: 4.0.8
✓ Potential for improvementLike the list app, but it doesn’t keep your order, you can’t sort or create subcategories which I would prefer as an organized shopper. And I can’t search the list for an item so I have duplicates because you can’t sort the list..Version: 4.0.8
✓ Not that impressedI've played around with this for the last two weeks. I've used Ikiru for the last couple of years. I'm mostly happy with it, but always looking for something better. Pro: I like the looks of this one. I like how it looks like sticky notes and I have so many color options. I like that I can move them into high, med, and, low priority. Aesthetics are about all I was happy with. Cons: I can't set a priority level AND a due date. Maybe this is an option with the paid version, but reading what you get with the paid version didn't make me inclined to pay the $1. I didn't care about day and night views. So if I want a due date, it has to go into my default priority. Makes no sense. Irritating. I opened it one time and my tasks had reprioritized themselves. I had to move everything back. Why is that? The "sticky notes" are situated right to left going off screen. I can shift right to left to see them but trying to move them to rearrange is a lesson in patience. They move places seemingly on their own and when I try to move them back where I want them, it's maddening. I still haven't gotten them to move back where I want. I'm done. Pretty isn't efficient. I'm going back to Ikiru. It may not be aesthetically pleasing and it's more expensive but it's organization is a whiz and I can email lists, move them around, set reminders, etc. and they stay put..Version: 3.2
✓ OrderlyNice and simple, but does not appear to sync with iPad.Version: 4.0
✓ Keeps crashingWorked great until latest update. After less than 2 seconds after launching, it crashes! Repeatedly! Hope it can be fixed, or it will become a deleted app..Version: 2.9
✓ CrashesCrashes you can't even open it anymore with IOS 8.4.Version: 2.9
✓ DisappointedDidn’t let me know when I got to the location. Maybe I didn’t know how to program it but I tried more than once and normally don’t have problems with apps..Version: 3.2.5
✓ Great App but....,This is a great App but sadly their website is not secure and I keep getting a warning as such when I want to log on via a browser which is every day a a clients computer as I contract. I did send support a message a few weeks ago asking if it would be resolved but sadly no response. My work will not allow an unsecured site. Pity..Version: 3.2
✓ Dont work!Not visible on watch app on my iphone 6. So, impossible to use it. I ASK FOR A FULL REFUND. Thanks..Version: 3.1
✓ Used to love itSince the update 2 weeks ago, all this does is crash. Completely unstable. Tried deleting and reinstalling to no avail. Please fix!!!.Version: 4.0.2
✓ Location based to-do's flawedPrior to downloading this app I had added all the retail location that I shop at into my contacts. Reminders uses these contacts for location based to-do's. Not this app. It only has a couple of choices, your current location and add from map. If you choose add from map you can only add an address. I wasn't able to move the pin. When I entered a local retails address I ended up with a pin mid Atlantic Ocean. Maybe I'm missing something. Tried several retail locations, same problem. Have to give this app a pass for now!.Version: 2.2
✓ Neither particularly good or bad.It's not completely useless, but there are apps with better functionality, cross-device and cross-platform support. Slightly dated look, no iPad version. PS reading through the reviews, I'm pretty sure, at least as of writing this review today, mine is the only GENUINE review. ;).Version: 2.5
✓ I like it, but...It could really use the ability to assign due dates to individual items instead of just a list. I'd like to do a bill pay list, for example, like I currently do in Reminders. But the bills are due at different times during the month, and this app can't support that; it's either one date for the whole list of bills (inaccurate) or a separate list for each bill (cluttered and annoying). For right now, it won't replace Reminders for me..Version: 2.5
✓ Where's that note?An easy checklist to use. I liked it until notes would randomly not update or even be there when I came back for them..Version: 2.2
✓ A useful app, but syncing not always reliableBeen using this app for a couple of weeks. Has a lot of nice features, and generally is easy to use. However, syncing across devices not 100% reliable; a list added on one device doesn't always appear on the other one. Latest release was intended to fix syncing issues, but still a problem, at least on my devices. Regretfully, will delete..Version: 3.2.4
✓ Waste of timeI just installed it to try it out. However, the feature that allows you to add a location is impossible to use because it puts a pin at your current location which you then need to move. I just couldn't get it to move so am uninstalling. One thing I have noticed about iPad Pro is that they have a hard time getting the correct position where the finger touches; so that may be the problem..Version: 3.2.2
✓ Not for meUnintuitive & manual disorganized!.Version: 4.0.4
✓ Location reminders needs......option to set the day they go off. For example it should be able to beep at me every Thursday when I arrive home to put the bins out and not beep at me every day when i arrive home..Version: 3.2.2
✓ It's a good idea but doesn't work all that well.Would be a good app if it work better. Doesn't respond very quickly. Stalls out. Please fix these problems..Version: 2.8
✓ Too confusingWith all kits bells and whistles I can’t see how to simply add an item after 10 minutes. Junk pile..Version: 4.0.3
✓ Makes me appreciate Apple RemindersThis app looked cool and has some decent design features, but it crashes all the time (latest iPhone/iOS as of the writing of this review) and takes what you’ve typed with it to the netherworld. The location based reminder didn’t work the way I expected it either. What this app did do was make me take a new look at Apple’s Reminders app, which I dismissed in the past, and realize that it now does everything I want and more..Version: 4.0.6
✓ RubbishWaste of time, deleted.Version: 2.4
✓ Reverse last update PLEASEThis app was so much better before the last update. Now there is no way to move items up and down except for deleting them all together. And if I check off all the items on one list the whole list disappears and I have to start all over again. Please put it back the way it was.Version: 4.0.2
✓ Not as drscribedI am trying, even watched the Youtube videos, but I can’t get this app to do what they describe. It does not look the same or do what they show. Has it fallen behind in the iOs chase? Or only really works with a subscription? Feeling cheated, but willing to try again if I just missed some vital clue. Instructions beyond the single static page would be helpful..Version: 4.0.4
✓ Wanting access to Twitter account is hella creepy!Looks like a perfectly functional app (asides from the hideous colour schemes - what's with that?) but wanting access to user's Twitter account? Why? That's seriously creepy! What would you even want that for?.Version: 2.9.2
✓ Not badOverall a pretty good list app but lacks a few features. You can't tick off an item and keep it, for example. It offers sync via Dropbox but it is unreliable in my experience. I wish I knew of something like this but better, I like lists in folders and the visual style but it falls short..Version: 3.2.2
✓ Simple...This is an extremely simple application to use. However, the “premium” services are useless and ineffective. No true dark theme and the optional “automatic” theming doesn’t work..Version: 4.0
✓ Dose not work wellI use an IPhone 6 and the map does not work. I am unable to select a location and sometimes the map crashes the app. I am also unable to select a priority and a due date on the same reminder.Version: 3.2.1
✓ Needs workThis is a nice todo app however it need the ability to have user created screens instead of the default home/work personal/office. Without the ability to have user created screens makes this app very limited in its usability. App also needs a password feature. Deleted till problems are fixed..Version: 1.2
✓ Amateur approachDated interface. Can't get sound switched off (no serious person need sound to schedule tasks) Very limited sync capability. Very limited screen space - maybe good for domestic use. Funny default font - again a sign of childish developers. I assume previous reviews written by peers or paid for by Freelancer. Lots of fluff but seriously lacks functionality..Version: 2.2
✓ Crashes a lotI like the design but on my iPhone 6 running IOS 8.1.1 the app crashes a lot. Please fix this. Also, sometimes I delete lists and they reappear after a crash. Too buggy..Version: 2.5
✓ I like the app but...I've had the app for about a week and I like the concept, the simplicity, the layout BUT I can't have a reminder that says "you have 2 To Do's today". Which 2? I have to go into the app and determine which ones are due. Is there any way, at a glance, you could incorporate the title of the To Do in the title of the reminder? "You have 2 To Do's in Groceries today" for example. I am defaulting to the native Reminders app on my phone for critical to do's and I would rather use this sticky note approach. Love the layout and the concept. Keep improving!.Version: 2.2
✓ Can't add addressLocation based but you cannot input an address to get the location. You need to either there or pick a point close to the place. Meh.Version: 3.2
✓ Overall good app but......it has an issue that the longer notes don't scroll down and are hidden beneath the keyboard with not way to edit them..Version: 3.2.2
✓ Why force the backup when I don’t want it?I’ve been using this app for years, to create a to do list. It’s simple and does its job. But the latest update makes me want to delete it - it pushes for its backup services every time I open the app and forces you to go through 3 steps to say NO. Every time. I don’t need it and should be able to say it once and for all. Orderly has turned desperate and shameless..Version: 4.0.8
✓ Unable to restore my purchasesI originally got the full version of this. I now have a new cellphone but does not allow me to restore my purchases. Yes, I am using the same account that was used at the time I got the full version. The Restore button is either unresponsive or my purchases got lost for no reason. Argh!.Version: 4.0.8
✓ I want to give it more starsI like this interface. It’s really helpful to have sticky notes compartmentalized in categories of high to low importance. I only wish I can sync it with my IPhone X. I have this both on my iphone and IPad Pro. I have contacted customer service but have not heard back to see how to sync them. I have no problems syncing other apps. Also, I wish I could duplicate a category with those sticky notes because I’m using this as a weekly weekly reminder for the month..Version: 3.2.4
✓ MusicI HATE apps that turns off my music for no reason. And for a click sound related to a task... Really?.Version: 2.4
✓ Like it but.....Overall this is very good. Easy to use. I like the color layout. Love that you can see your lists in Notifications. My complaint is that the notes don't stay in their categories. Only ones marked high priority are supposed to show up in notifications. Every time I open notifications I have low & medium priorities showing up. So I have to click to get back to app & move list. Fix that & give ability to open keyboard in notifications (the app "Neato" does that) instead of having to go back to app & I will give you 5 stars!!.Version: 2.8
