My friend recommended “Wish” to me and it is really cool. Love it. I am also a big fan of to-do list apps. Wunderlist is beautiful, well-designed but it is not easy-to-use. I prefer TickTick. This to-do app is really intuitive and everyone can get started within a few minutes without reading a guidebook or watching a tutorial.
