I tried it today, congrats! I really love the idea. The app is very functional and useful but there are several design patterns that could be more subtle and would give an impression of simplicity. Here are my few thougths after my first sue:
- A word for each icon is too much "like", "new", "share"
- Too many actions in the Nav Bar
- Default pictures and avatars with a grey templates makes the app look like a prototype.
- The boxes in the activity feed lowers the readability.
I hope they can come up with a more subtle design because the key features are here and I really think that good design will make the difference in this field. I'd use this kind of app everyday.

I've wanted this for a long time. Thank you for making it with great intergrations and a great name.
I make foursquare lists all the time (feel like I'm the only one). Can't wait to pull them into here and add collaborators.

As a fan of the no-longer-in-development http://tiplist.com/ I was excited to find and check out this app....but so far, it's not yet resonating with me.
Some observations while kicking the tires:
1. Love the opening screen - very nicely refined.
2. Getting a user's location is key, when I completed onboarding I was left with a pretty intimidating blank slate. It would be great to be able to easily browse/subscribe to lists that are popular in my area.
3. When creating a list, it was frustrating (and slowed me down) to have to select "item type" each time. If I'm creating a list of favorite coffee shops, I probably won't also be mixing in music and film items.
Hopeful that more people continue to adopt the app - looking forward to more lists being created.

1) Thanks
2) Agreed. We're going to be reworking the on-boarding process. This is definitely a pain point that others have identified.
3) I KNOW! So annoying! The app is going to get smarter and it will be able to identify what type of item it is that you are selecting instead of asking you. That's the end goal!
4) A second thanks!

Ballsy choice on the name and color scheme, comrade.
