I am really loving Checkvist but I will say, the mobile experience leaves a lot to be desired. I'm using the official mobile interface on my iPhone, but the UI/UX is very hard to work with.

1) Is this being cleaned up?
2) Is there a cleaner, official mobile app on the horizon?
3) Does anybody know of any api-driven alternatives for accessing Checkvist from Mobile?

I use Checkvist for work but was hoping to be able to use it for a shared shopping list with my wife but after setting it up for her, I can't really expect her to use it due to the mobile experience. She would be frustrated walking through a store trying to use the current mobile interface.

Thanks for any insight you can give!

    Hello Jacob,

    Could you please elaborate a bit more on "UI/UX is very hard to work with"? The matter is that it is quite possible to create a native app with awful user experience as well, and it is possible to improve UX for non-native app. What are the biggest problems with the current app?

    As for alternative apps, there is Checkvistle, which is third-party app using Checkvist API.

    Best,

    Kirill Maximov Thanks for the reply. In a nutshell, here are some examples. From Checkvist, to Workflowy, to Wunderlist (which I like the best as far as mobile UI/UX goes for task management) The main thing is that when using it for tasks on mobile, it looks very cluttered. I love the simple, tactile, checkbox feel. And I preface this by saying I am focusing in on those who are using it on mobile for tasks, outlining and organizing uses may look different, but I'm putting on the mobile shopping list glasses.

    I tried Checkvistle, and it helps a little, but there is no way to get rid of the ads, and more importantly, it doesn't support tags, which you can see we use and why we use them.

    Hmm. Looks like Google+ removed my reply. :-(

    Right now, it is possible to show checkboxes on mobile only for subtasks of some task.

    I.e. if you create a list item
    []Buy (with prefix [ ])
    and put several sub-items, they will be shown with checkboxes. On desktop, we have "list style" option where you can show checkboxes for the whole list, but on mobile we don't have such an option yet.

    Still, this is a workaround, may work for you :)

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.  What I feel is missing is more use cases.  How are people using Checkvist?  What are some recommend workflows?  How many lists do you have? User Stories will not only help those of use already using Checkvist to be more effective, but attract more non-technical customers. I like to keep my lists at a minimum.  I only split out for sharing but I'd prefer not to. Here are my lists: * Inbox:  This is where zapier based integrations go.  I have Jira tickets and emails tagged with "!action" going to list which I process daily. * The List:  This is my primary list.  Everything is here.  I use sub-nodes for different areas. * Honey Do:  This is the list my wife and I share to make sure we know what we both want done around the house. * "Client Project" - I have a few Lists I share with clients (Free lance web developer). I"m looking to write a more detailed blog post. How are your l...

Hello friends

Hello friends, We are considering to change behaviour of move up/down command using ctrl+arrows for lists with hierarchy. The new approach is available on our beta site, https://beta.checkvist.com . Could you please try it out and tell us what you think? Thanks! https://beta.checkvist.com

Hello friends!

Hello friends! I'd like to ask for your opinion regarding multi-line text editing. This suggestion comes from one of our Russian-speaking customers Dolina Zamkova so here is a translated abstract of our email conversation. Current problem: When you write multi-line text, you must press 'Shift-Enter' first, then use 'Enter' to start a new line, then 'Ctrl-Enter' to submit the text. Wouldn't it be easier to have a setting that will allow using Enter to always write multi-line texts, and always submit on 'Ctrl-Enter', like you do it in text messengers? So we could add a new account-wide setting, on the Settings page: () Finish editing by pressing 'Ctrl-Enter' (convenient for multi-line text) What do you think? Do you write multi-line texts in Checkvist at all? Other thoughts of how we could make it better? :)
