About Handy List

Prioritise items and tick them off when done. Perfect for shopping, "to do" lists, and for planning what to take on your next trip away.

HandyList allows you to manage a number of lists. As you complete each item you can tick it off, and then delete all the ticked items. Items can be prioritised with colour coding and a list can be exported to a text file.

This app works great on your phone, but is probably unique in that it will also work stand-alone on Android / Wear OS smartwatches - even when the watch is in aeroplane mode or far away from your phone. The "wrist list" mode of the app includes a built-in scrolling keyboard that allows you to enter list and item names directly from your watch! But if you prefer typing on your phone then you can create the list there and send it to your watch instead.

You can also Email or SMS a list to a friend.

The app has been tested on both round (Moto 360) and rectangular (Sony Smartwatch 3) Android Wear watches.

You are a model developer! You take on board all feedback and act on it quickly and effectively! Both of my concerns were dealt with and the app is now much better than before. I also tried out the alternate theme and prefer it to the default one. Take my 5 stars with thanks.

Great for creating and managing check lists such as todo or shopping lists right there on your watch! Could use faster input method like voice support -- but please always provide the on-watch keyboard as an option because voice sometimes can't be used. Could use integration and sync with corresponding Adroid vers...
