problem after last update: csn no longer make changes to existing lists as the save options have vanished. seems to be happening on longer lists only.
changed the text and spacing and messed everything up cuase it is all out of place and wrong took some effort to move the new backup to internal storage/list maker/ and rename it to "list_maker_backup.db", so that the old unbroken text and spacing version of 1.9 could restore from backup. Even then the new version didn't save my recent edits from yesterday after it had updated, so I had to redo them over again.
After updating to android 15, I can no longer add or edit items on the list. The only choices offered are to remove items on an existing list. Really useless.
When I try and sort long lists it moves things around that I don't want to move.
This app keeps rearranging items on its own very irritating
DIESNT WORK
Nothing special.
I have used this app for years and loved it. But very recently, all of a sudden, the font got smaller, spacing farther apart and the little up/down arrows at the end of each entry no longer work to move items around within each individual list. I use this app for grocery lists a lot and I like to put items in order as i would find them in the store...can't move anything anymore. sad. may have to find a new app.
Appreciate the simplicity, but: Can't edit items descriptions after save. Can't print lists. No individual notes fields under items descriptions.
Sadly I must edit my review & lower my score (hopefully just for now) The new update has reverted the app to its UI from 2016. Not sure if its Android's fault or not, but it looks/feels much worse and can only fit 12 items in a list onscreen at once (it used to be more compact, fitting 16) Alongside the lack of being able to move lists themselves around, it shows a lack of innovation. I really hope the creator sees this and fixes the problems soon, because this is genuinely my favorite app ever.
Does not sync across devices, only one level deep
I have always liked this app and have been using it for several years. Yesterday I upgraded to Android 15 and the app has become unusable. I can't add items because the app no longer fits in the usable part of the window. I am hoping for a quick fix to allow me to keep using my multitude of lists.
Simple layout and easy to use. However it is not quite what I'm needing.
It's mostly a good app, but I accidentally erased some text in a note, and there was no undo button. I tried to simply leave the app without saving, but leaving the app automatically overwrites your note. A single mistake can immediately take away your whole note.
