Review

Since it’s only avail­able at $0.99 for today, I thought I’d post a quick gallery of screen­shots of the ini­tial setup of Check­mark which should show you a lot of the care that went into mak­ing this app. After I’ve played with it for a while I’ll post a more thor­ough review.

My ini­tial impres­sion is that it’s a great look­ing app with lots of lit­tle touches (like the abil­ity to set the range for how far from your loca­tion the app’s “radar” should alert you) and bet­ter usabil­ity than Apple’s own Reminders.app included in iOS5.
