Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
3.0
GPA, above 103 of the 123 other to-do list apps we grade
Do! is a simple to-do list and reminder app for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Android from SIMPLERION. Tasks are jotted down and marked done with a double tap, sorted into colored groups, and can repeat or carry reminders, with themes, fonts and pen-and-paper sounds to style the list. The app is free with ads, which a one-time purchase removes; a separate paid edition, Do! Premium, has no ads.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Do!, taken from its own pages and our grades.
The whole app is free with ads on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Android.
- 1

- 3
There is a free plan
The whole app is free with ads: tasks, groups, repeats, reminders, widgets, themes, fonts, sounds, sync and backups. Paying only removes the advertising.

The report card
Best for a simple list that feels like pen and paper
Do! is a to-do list styled as a notebook: jot a task down, double-tap to cross it off, and hear pen-and-paper sounds while you do. The whole app is free with ads on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Android. Removing the ads is $20 once, the vendor sells several separate editions that don't sync with each other, backups go through Dropbox or email, and there's no web or desktop version.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | The whole app is free with ads. The $20.00 one-off to remove them is steep: pay-once apps in this category sit around $7.99, and $20 buys you nothing but quiet. |
| Free plan and trial | A | Nothing at all is held back. Tasks, groups, repeats, reminders, widgets, themes, fonts, sounds, sync and backups are all in the free app. The only cost is putting up with ads. |
| Features | C | The basics: double-tap to cross off, colored groups, pins, repeats, reminders, widgets, a Face ID lock. The listing names the gaps, though. Backups go through Dropbox or email, and sync only works inside the same edition of the app. |
| Ease of use | A | 4.73 from 26,186 App Store ratings. Type a line, double-tap when it's done. That's the entire routine. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Phones, tablets and a watch: iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Android. SIMPLERION lists no web or desktop version, and Dropbox for backups is the only outside hook on record. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Do! is for
- Fits if you want a to-do list that looks and sounds like pen and paper
- Works for simple daily lists like groceries, errands and routines, if you can live with ads
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want your list on a computer, as there's no web or desktop version
- Pricey if all you want is the ads gone, at $20.00 once on the US App Store
- Too light for projects or teams, as it's a simple list with groups, repeats and reminders
- Watch out: sync works only inside the same edition, and the vendor sells several separate editions
- Tight if you want automatic backups, as backups go through Dropbox or email
Good to know
Good for
- People who want a to-do list that looks and sounds like pen and paper
- Simple daily lists such as groceries, errands and routines
- Users who would rather pay once than subscribe to remove ads
Worth knowing
- The free app shows ads, and removing them is a one-time purchase listed at $20.00 on the US App Store.
- There are apps for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Android only; the vendor lists no web or desktop version.
- Sync means signing in with the same account in the same app on each device, and the vendor sells several separate editions.
- Backups are made through Dropbox or email; the listings mention no automatic cloud backup.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Your call
A to-do list at its plainest is tasks with dates, repeats and a box to tick.
You could make the core of Do! for yourself: tasks. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. At $20, paid once, it costs less than the weekend it would take to replace, which is the argument for keeping it.
What you could make
- Tasks: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- Hooks into the device itself: an Apple Watch app and widgets.
What this rests on. Do!’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
