User Reviews

Users prize Paperless for its simplicity, reliability, and cross-device use, especially its Dropbox sync and master-to-current list workflow. The main downsides are aging software with few updates, sporadic stability issues, and missing desktop/web versions. Frequent requests include better navigation, more list/item sorting options, photo attachments in notes, richer icons, and a more robust search. Overall, it remains a beloved, lightweight tool for long-time users who want quick, reusable checklists across diverse use cases.

Pros

Simple, minimal interface focused on checklists.
Longstanding, reliable app used daily for years.
Dropbox-based syncing across devices.
Highly versatile for groceries, recipes, packing lists, and more, with per-item notes and master-to-current list copying.
Keeps checked items accessible for reuse, helping track progress across projects.

Cons

App appears to be aging with few recent updates.
Occasional stability issues and UI glitches (crashes on launch and edit icons stopping work).
No native desktop or web app; limited cross-platform options beyond Dropbox sync.
Navigation and sorting feel clunky; moving items or switching between many lists is cumbersome.
Several requested features are missing (photos in notes, more icons, improved search, ability to edit list titles).

Recent reviews

I have been using this app for years and use it almost daily. Its simplicity and straightforward appearance make it the best listmaking app in my opinion. It’s probably the best money I ever spent in the Apple Store.

Like many reviewers, I am an avid list maker. I have used Paperless for many years and have come to depend on it in increasing ways. Now retired, it’s become my personal organizer to help me focus and re-prioritize my short and long-term goals. Such a reliable app.
