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).

Ive been using this app for over 10 years almost daily. Don’t need all the fancy extras like other apps, just simple checklists. Thank you dev for this app!

This is an old app and hasn’t been updated for a while, but it still works well. I have had so many grocery list apps, but I keep returning to Paperless. I’ve made two grocery lists on it. One as a Mater list and another for current needs. I find it very easy to copy what I want from the master list to the current one. I have space with each item to make notes on where I shop for it and other details. This possibility for other types of lists is endless. It’s a good solid app that doesn’t over complicate things that would make it more difficult to use. I’ve had plenty of those but keep returning to Paperless.
