Get Stuff Done With The List App

The List App is for those of you out there who prefer to make lists of everything, and I mean everything. From the grocery list and the to-do list to the to-read list and the long-term goals list, there are some people who just really love lists, and this app is for them.

Created by B.J. Novak and reminiscent of those Facebook questionnaires everyone was into in 2008 (name your favorite color, favorite food, hair color, height, closest thing to your left … ), The List App is a place for you to not only read up on all the lists your friends are making, whether it be their favorite travel spots or the recipe list they used for their dinner party last week, but also to view the lists of some of your favorite celebrities from television, music, sports and more. Recommended users to follow include such famous faces as Lena Dunham, Mindy Kaling, Anthony Bourdain, Jimmy Fallon and more.

In order to make the app as seamless and easy-to-use as possible, it includes a handy search feature, as well as the ability to include photos and location tags within individual lists. Lists can be shared via Facebook or Twitter, and can be viewed on a normal Web browser, though, much like Instagram, viewing is only available outside the app, with no creating abilities unless you’re on your phone or tablet.

Setting up an account is easy and you can import your friends from Twitter or Facebook. Your profile is simply a list of your lists. If you haven’t made any yet, they’ll give you some suggestions, such as “What I Wanted To Be Growing Up, Chronologically” or “My Favorite Emojis And Why.”

The featured and trending lists available during my first log-in included “Favorite Places To Cry” and “Squad That Would Destroy T-Swift’s Squad.” In other words, creativity and randomness are encouraged past the point of your normal day-to-day lists, making The List App a fun and entertaining new platform.
