VERDICT

Should I use Listy – Save everything you love in the same app?

Save any recommendation and track all your interests in one app. Just type and get instant suggestions, all the details are there for you, save it from any app and create custom lists for links or tasks. - listy.is

Worth it. Genuinely good buy for individuals who want one private app to track movies, books, games, and links. Skip it entirely if you need team features, project management, or published pricing and security documentation.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~14 public sources. No named company customers found; user evidence is app-store ratings, one MakeUseOf review, and Reddit threads. Listy+ price not published in any reviewed source.

Gotchas - check before you buy

high

One-person operation: fixes and roadmap depend on a single developer's side-project priorities.

medium

Listy+ price isn't on the main site; you'll find it in-app or on promo pages only.

medium

Guess: export/migration paths are unclear — verify before loading years of saved lists.

low

50%-off lifetime licenses run as 24-hour flash sales — waiting may save you money.
