Zenbe Lists | Todo lists on your iPhone and your browser
Would you like to keep up with all of your tasks in orderly lists? Today we’re going to look at Zenbe Lists, a simple to-do list app that lets you keep up with your tasks without the fuss of more complicated apps, and then keep everything backed up online with the free Zenbe Lists webapp. Let’s dive in and see if this is the ideal to-do list app for you.
Staying Organized With Zenbe Lists
Zenbe Lists sports a clean and easy to use interface. When you first open the app, you’ll be greeted with little popup messages that help you learn your way around the app. This task manager is built around lists with tasks, so you can tap the top to add some lists for things you need to keep up with. You do it all right there on the front screen; no jumping between screens required.
Entering tasks is just as easy. Just tap the list name to see the contents, then press the top to add a new task. One feature I really liked is the ability to add tasks without going to a different screen; everything’s entered and checked off right there on the same screen.
Once you’ve entered tasks, tap them to edit the task, prioritize it, or add a due date. Or, back in the list view, press Edit to rearrange the notes or bulk check them off. While you can rearrange tasks in the same list, the app currently doesn’t let you move tasks to a different list. Thankfully, Zenbe just announced that this feature is coming in a update that should be in the App Store soon. This will make it much easier to manage all of your tasks and get them in the lists you need.
If you have an iPad, Zenbe Lists works just as good on it. Actually, you’ll have even less switching back and forth since everything’s right there on the same page. And if you add online sync as we’ll see below, you’ll be able to keep your tasks synced between all of your iOS devices. Zenbe Lists is a universal app, so you get all of this for the same price!
Syncing and Sharing Tasks Online
One of Zenbe Lists best features is that you can sync your lists and tasks online for free with Zenbe List’s webapp. Press the Sync button from any list to sign in with your Zenbe ID, or tap Signup to create a new account for free. Once you’ve created the account, go back to Zenbe Lists and sign in. Seconds later, your lists and tasks will be synced between the cloud and your device.
Now, you can sign in at lists.zenbe.com and access all of your lists and tasks online. This is a great way to quickly enter a ton of tasks from a full sized keyboard. Actually, if you’d like to use Zenbe Lists but don’t have an iOS device, you can signup for a free account online. You can take advantage of almost all the same features, and can even collaborate with others on list all from your desktop. The webapp even looks much like the iPhone app and’s just as easy to use. Then if you ever get an iPhone, you’ll be ready to move your tasks over in only a couple taps.
Conclusion
Zenbe Lists actually offers much more than you’d think on the surface. It’s a very simple task list app, but that also makes it very easy to use. With support for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad in the same app, as well as a free webapp that runs on any desktop browser, Zenbe Lists is great way to keep up with everything you need to do no matter where you are. If you like keeping all of your tasks in organized lists with just the most essential info, this app is a great one to check out. It includes less features than more advanced task managers like Things, but that also makes it simpler and easier to get used to.
There’s to-do list apps for every style of task management, so stay tuned for the rest of our reviews and a final roundup!
