Clean, easy to use, no required permissions, can allow storage permission if you want to save locally but not required.
Would you please add a simple capability to delete individual items from a checklist? The delete button instead deletes the entire list! Counter-intuitive. I'm sure others have accidentally deleted entire list this way too. Thanks for working for pro-privacy apps! Much appreciated.
I really appreciate apps that are made with the users privacy in mind and this one is no different in that aspect. It is as fancy as anyone would really need without having unnecessary features that clog the interface and it doesn't pointlessly try to do more than an app like this should do. All of this makes this app great. The problem however is that some of its features just dont work. You can't sort manually, and the option for alphabetical order is bugged. It really needs more basic polish.
all in one lists without invading my privacy. great job!
EDIT 2019/05/20: Accidently hit "delete" button on a list. The list is gone :( I still think its at least 4 star because of the privacy centered philosophy; buy please do a "undo" button or a "are you sure" prompt Love the privacy oriented philosophy, and that it's simple to use. Only reason why not 5 stars is that I would have liked to see: 1) ability to edit checklist items and 2) ability to change the order of the checklist items.
Good app. Wish this app had a dark theme and more font control.
Please add Encryption too !!!
An import function for texts would be nice...
Has potential.Please add repeating reminders password lock etc
Could you please remove the uneccessary permission: "Run at startup". And thank you for not using:"Prevent phone from sleep".
