List Master Lite - Create Lists Your Way Specifications
|
Put this on your to-do list: buy List Master from the App Store.
The iPad is a perfect device for creating, tracking, and managing your lists. It's mobile, it's constantly connected for mobile syncing, and the interface is intuitive enough to make entry and editing a snap. So the List Master Lite app has a lot going for it; it's a free app that provides many of the same tools as the expensive productivity tools on the App Store. But does it do enough to provide a realistic alternative to those pricey apps?
When you first open List Master Lite, a handful of pop-ups will warn you about the trial restrictions (only 30 items while in free mode), the Cloud backup system, and the functionality of the app. Read them carefully because the interface is not designed to be immediately intuitive. A big screen with an empty folder and no clear tools for entering your items is frustrating at first. However, as you grow used to the interface--most of the items of note are on the bottom menu--you can start creating numerous lists, quickly. There are quite a few options for every menu tool, as well, including color setting, labels, check box marking, font changes, and more. It's clearly a very flexible app in terms of how it looks and operates. With the tap of a button you can go to any one list and the sync tool works quite well between devices. The online instructional tools are very much welcome, as well, and the fact that it's available for both iPhone and iPad is a major plus.
