This representative explains them everything they need to know to keep going forward on the development. “I can't believe how lucky I am! All I did was fill out a form. Now I just have to wait patiently for the next step. I'm so very excited!”_-μ, 12/31/2018	Do you have a great idea for an iOS or Android App? UP TO $1 MILLION IN FUNDING PER APP FOR FULL SCALE DEVELOPMENT, DEPLOYMENT AND MARKETING. YOUR APP IDEA SUBMISSIONS CAN GET APPROVED FOR FUNDING	Slow advance on processes & delays “The app would be great if it was actually maintained. I submitted an app idea over one and a half years ago. It has been in pending status for over 8 months. I’ve called the number doesn’t work, I’ve emailed I never get a response, I’ve connected them over social media still no response! I’ve since patented my app and will get funding from elsewhere! ”_Paw'et Fashions , 07/09/2020 “ I did not get a response for over a year, and every time I checked the only thing that showed was the word “pending”.”_Tickertune, 04/19/2020	Easy to use, smooth experience and straightforward process “The process is really straightforward and while I’m waiting for funding I already started bringing my idea into my life.

Especially, I love the fact that I can submit an app idea on the go from my Apple Watch or phone, or even at home from my iPad or Apple TV. I had no trouble logging in or navigating around the app, and there didn’t seem to be any major bugs so far. Jotting down ideas on the go is perfect for me, so I will definitely continue to use the app in the future.”_o_krupenin, 09/28/2019 “Speaking from a fellow developer I know a great app when I see one. It’s super user friendly and easy to navigate.”_GalacticJax, 08/26/2020 Allows people with no-technological background to make their ideas true (and gain money) “Great for creative people! I always have great ideas for things but I never have the knowledge to actually execute them. But then I found this app. With this app I can easily submit my ideas and make money from it, without doing any work! I have already submitted lots of my ideas,. (...) This app helped me focus more on my creative side without getting hung up on execution. I would definitely recommend this app to anyone who has amazing ideas but doesn't have the knowledge to execute them. 5/5!”_Turtlebarf11 , 04/26/2018	Can people with non technical background submit ideas in our app? How can we let them know they can add their ideas for others to build them? Should we add an FAQ section to help people understand better the process?

(It would be great if you include a web version) “_Qaimali Baloch_25 March 2021 “How would one go about syncing my ideas to the cloud? It would be a shame if my phone got broken, misplaced or stolen with over 1,000 notes.”_A Google user 10 August 2018 No automatic saving “The application is extremely inconvenient to use. Sorting is by some internal algorithm, without any logic. To create an idea - you have to write it, save, go back to editing, set category, save, open questions section, write answer, save. Why not all of these in one screen???”_Igor Akimov 21 February 2022 “wasn't happy to find things didn't automatically save after writing something on an idea and backing out.

Unfold Your Ideas Dream. Plan. Achieve.	Has web and mobile app Has smart folder features and allows nesting subtasks “There are plenty of todos app in playstore. Free and Paid.

It has kanban. It has reminder. It has an option for collaboration. It has everything which I m looking.

Resulting in ALL UNSAVED DATA BEING LOST. Do NOT use for editing on the go, unless you turn off auto-rotate sensor! Please fix, would be a pain to switch to a other service 😥” Daniel Connolly_March 25, 2022 Free version with limited features. Payed version with only one option (people want more plan options) “This app is great, but a lot of features that I want are blocked by a "pro version" subscription. No problem, if its good I'll pay for it. So why 3 out of 5 stars? I can't subscribe. There's no link in the app, no link on the website”_Zak Cooper_May 26, 2022 “'d rather pay a higher price in a single purchase than having to pay a fee(be it monthly or yearly). :) ”_A Google user_November 15, 2019 No browser or gmail addon “Great product. It's so good, I'm considering moving 10 years of Todos from the app I've been using for 10 years, so that I can use this app. The only two things this app doesn't do...and it is a big deal that these two functions are missing...They don't have a chrome extension that allows me to create Todos via a chrome extension while I am online anywhere. They also do not have a gmail add on, so that I can create Todos out of my gmail's...I'm trusting they will add these two functions ASAP?”_A Google user_August 27, 2019 No offline saving “The only thing that keeps this app from being on top is the ability to completely use it offline. While it does provide data syncing after regaining connection, an offline mode is essential while traveling.
