I immediately downloaded it and am using it daily.and loving it.The “Get Things Done” methodology and all the apps that work in the GTD methodology are near and dear to our hearts here at The Sweet Setup. Recently I was searching for a new “to do” app and I was surprised to see Clear and that it was being updated. At the time I was very disappointed in Clear’s app developer and felt that I had wasted my money.
Since it wasn’t working back then, I uninstalled the app.
#Clear todos app update
I wrote a 1 star review in January of 2017 titled “Last update 2015, not syncing.” That’s a long time not to update an app, so I’m concerned they might stop updating the app again. Also, it does sync nicely between my MacBook, iPhone and iPad. It’s just a cool simple “to do” app, which is exactly what I want! You can have multiple lists, which is nice. I use another app for my more complex needs, but when I want to get things done today, I use Clear. It doesn’t have complex features like recurring tasks and scheduling. It’s very simple to use and has a very attractive design. Cautiously optimistic about what is to come (a lot of times developers “improve” their apps and they get considerably worse, see Dark Sky weather as a current example), hoping if there are major changes in store, there will at least always be a way to use it as my simple, list-making app!! Obviously this review will be amended once it returns (or if it never returns). I understand the need to do so, and honestly I didn’t use the feature THAT often, but the times that I did use it (phone in another room, phone in pocket, during meetings, etc.) it was quite helpful. Unfortunately, I was forced to take a star away due to the last update removing Apple Watch support. I want it easy to use and easy on my eyes, and this 90% succeeds. It lets me make lists like I would on paper, and delete/cross off, my choice.
What keeps bringing me back (or making me never leave) Clear is the absolute simplicity. I have tried, and subsequently deleted, untold numbers of list apps. According to the App Store I first put it on my phone back in May, 2013 (WOW really THAT long?!) and I gotta say it’s pretty great. I have been using this app for many years.
I’ll stick with boring black or noir until that’s fixed. The dark themes are the only ones that stay constant on both tiers. If the theme I choose isn’t going to be universal across all my lists, then let me at least change the other tier theme to something else. But my upper tier list (the list of your lists) doesn’t follow that theme, that tier is ugly bright yellow/orange that I can’t read well, so I can’t use the purple theme on my lower lists because of its opposite effect on the upper tier. The annoyance.I like the dark purple theme, it looks great on my lists. I just don’t touch my daily list, I look at it and it’s ordered how I go about it and I just have to know what is and isn’t done. Why can’t I set daily repeating reminders for the same time for at least 1 list?! However I have a daily list for the things I need/want to accomplish every common day, but I can’t mark each item complete or I’ll have to retype them tomorrow.
If you don’t intend to have everyday repeating things on this app, then ignore this part and see the annoyance below. It is missing the ability to have daily repeating lists. BUT it is missing 1 big thing and has 1 minor annoyance. I can organize and see my individual lists in a simple way.
