Pocket Lists is a beautifully designed app for managing checklists and to-do lists, focusing on important tasks, and collaborating on checklists with friends. The app excels as both an everyday to-do list organizer with sophisticated reminder functionality, and as a checklist app for groceries, travel packing, Christmas lists, and more.

You’ll love Pocket Lists for being powerful yet surprisingly easy to use. The app’s feature set makes it a superb replacement for most checklist apps, including the stock Reminders app:

• Color-coded re-usable checklists with a variety of beautiful icons and cover images for all sorts of things.

• To-do Stream: a dynamic to-do list (filter) that collects to-dos among all your checklists, and displays them in the priority & due order, allowing you to focus on what’s important right now.

• Apple Watch app: manage your To-Do Stream on your Apple Watch, stay up to date on whats UP NEXT on your To-Do Stream at a glance, receive notifications on upcoming to-dos.

• All types of to-do notifications: due date, due time, repeating, and location-based — drop pin anywhere on a map, select either “arrive to” or “leave from”, and even define a location radius.

• Set due reminders by typing naturally: “Meeting tomorrow morning”, “Car service saturday 7pm”, “Prepare christmas gift list on dec 20 every year”, “Cinema friday night” and so on. The app automatically understands due date from your input, and sets a reminder. Understands all languages the app is localized into! Approved by native speakers.

• Calendar view: rotate your iPhone into landscape mode to see all your scheduled to-dos in a monthly calendar layout.

• Import to-dos and events from iOS stock Reminders and Calendar apps.

Pros and cons of Pocket Lists 1 app for iPhone and iPad

Pocket Lists 1 app good for

Great and very useful, the addition of vocal dictation would make the best
This is EXACTLY what Ive been looking for in a TODO app. I love the simple hierarchy feature for tasks and subtasks - especially that all tasks have the same options for settings and metadata - regardless of whether they are a task, subtask, or even sub-subtask. Swiping across to create a subtask is a great solution (though I did miss this info in the help). Another feature I appreciate is that recurring tasks are only generated when the outstanding task has been completed. In other apps Ive tried, I found it disconcerting to see a neglected weekly task appearing several times. The price point for this app is great for what it offers! Many other ToDo apps operate a monthly or yearly subscription model. These apps do offer additional tagging and filter features - but the hierarchy I can build with this app is more than sufficient for my private use. Excellent value for money!
I was looking for. Ease of use. Your own ability to name the list and add what you want :)
I used to use paper and pen and ALWAYS missed items on my lists. I download this app and magically I remember EVERYTHING!!! This app is fantastic!!!
I love this app so much! Its amazing. When I start talking to someone I get so excited its like Im 1D fan girl. Best app ever! <3 <3 <3
This is a great app. The only issue I have is it gives notifications for items that dont have a date, every day until the item or list is done.

Some bad moments

After iOS7 update, we have a bug. Unable to open it. Needs improvement - immediately.
This worked just fine until latest ios8 update and now I just get an error message when I try to use the cloud.
This was an amazing app until the last update. Now whenever I try to open it the app will open for a few seconds and crash. Not impressed.
Since the update the app keeps crashing. Ive deleted it and reinstalled but that doesnt work. I love this app and hate to not be able to use it.
Im truly disappointed in how simple this app is for the money it cost. And there isnt even sub list capabilities!! Not worth the money people!
So glitchy and slow. Adding tasks or editing them is so time consuming and slow. The program just doesnt function well. Deleted.
