## Ways to pay less

- **Annual sync subscription at $6.99 against $35.88** (Annual discount): The App Store listing prices Fast Cloud Sync plus Automatic Backup at $2.99 per month or $6.99 per year, so the annual subscription costs about 80% less than twelve monthly payments.

## Key features

- **Visual layout in three levels:** To-do lists are shown as notes in three levels at a glance, and a list is dragged to another priority. Note colors, fonts and font sizes can be set per list.
- **Folders:** Any number of folders group lists by category, each with a custom icon and its own notifications for high-priority and overdue to-dos.
- **Date, time and recurring reminders:** A date and time can be set for a whole list or for single items in it, and a list can repeat daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly, bi-monthly or yearly.
- **Location-based reminders:** A to-do can be attached to a place, and the app sends a notification when the device comes near that location.
- **Today Items and Due Items:** Two built-in views cut across every folder: Today Items shows what is due today, and Due Items shows items that are past due.
- **Cloud sync, backup and archive:** A paid subscription syncs lists across devices and backs data up automatically. Email backup is part of the app, and completed lists move to a searchable archive.

## Good for

- iPhone and iPad users who like lists laid out visually
- Errands that should alert at a place, not only at a time
- Sorting many lists into folders by category

## Worth knowing

- iPhone and iPad only: the App Store marks the Mac option as the iPad app, not verified for macOS, and there is no Android or web version.
- Syncing between devices needs the Fast Cloud Sync subscription at $2.99 per month or $6.99 per year, on top of the $1.99 app.
- Low light mode and passcode protection are a separate $0.99 in-app purchase.
- There is no free version: the app is a $1.99 download before any add-on, and the listing states no free trial.
