Review summary

Users generally found Checklist useful for managing multiple lists and sub-items, with features like templates, due dates, reminders, sharing, and cross-device sync. Many praise its simplicity and ad-free experience. However, the app's recent updates sparked complaints: users report being forced to sign in, data loss or duplication after updates, and a cluttered or regressed UI that makes navigation harder. Widget functionality often fails, and collaboration options are limited. Overall sentiment is mixed-to-negative, with core value in lists but significant usability and data concerns.

Pros

Supports multiple checklists with sub-items and templates for quick organization
Quick and easy to use with a simple interface
Ad-free experience and easy sharing of lists
Cross-device syncing and sharing across Windows and mobile
Offline edits without needing to be online

Cons

Must sign in or create an account to use the app
Data loss or duplication after updates and reliance on cloud syncing
Major UI/UX regression after updates, making navigation harder
Widget on home screen frequently fails or becomes non-interactive
Limited collaboration features, cannot invite others to lists

2026-08-14	Na*****	This requires payment to use routines and checklists. This was not disclosed until I had already made several routines, edited them repeatedly, and used one of them. When I went to use a different one the next day, it said I needed to chose a payment plan before I could use any again.

2026-07-09	Ma*****	I used this app for 10 plus years. Very simple to use. Then it forced me to update and now the app is overly complicated and I can't figure out how to get all my checklist items back. Lost everything. I just wanted a basic list I can add and delete items as they are accomplished. Nothing fancy. So frustrating to lose everything to say the least. It's probably great if you have a PHD in computers.

2026-06-26	Le*****	FANTASTIC UNTIL SUDDENLY HORRIBLE I've used this app for years and loved it. Now, I regret recommending it to family, friends and former colleagues (Retired). All my checklists dissapeared overnight after a Checklist update. Tech Support was responsive at first, but provided no resolution, no update, and did not reply to any of my follow-up emails. All my time and hard work of years was lost. USE THIS APP AT YOUR OWN RISK.

2026-06-24	Na*****	It was helpful, but now says is no longer supported and I have to update. But when I tap "Update" my only options are "Open" which just takes me back to the same message, or "Uninstall" which will delete my lists. UPDATE: After killing the app again I was able to update. Raising my rating from 1 to 4 stars.

2026-06-15	*****	Checklist is a great app. I would suggest that the back key tap not exit with one tap, but back out of a list or item.

2026-04-20	Ga*****	I wish this had a recycle bin. I've used for several years, several updates but no where to recover accidentally deleted items.

2026-03-23	Ca*****	used to be a simple checklist app. they just updated it, adding some fancy new UI and all these other features that make this app harder to navigate. it's called "checklist" I just want a damn checklist. my main issue is I had important things on a checklist that I needed to do, but this update deleted all of my data, and now requires you to sign up and make an account to USE A DAMN CHECKLIST. this isn't social media, why do I need an account to use a checklist!?
