Abandoned Droplist for mo' $$? – Listacular for Dropbox - Rapid notes, lists and to-do's with plaintext Review

Wow, abandoned just like Droplist. The "improved tag support is coming" hasn't. He STILL hasn't bothered to either leave new list titles blank or allow them to be cleared with a simple "x" control. Seriously, do you care that little? While trying this again on a newer phone, using a Taskpaper file, there's no way to add existing tags without typing them every time. When you try to select tag text to copy and paste to multiple entries, this app won't respect your selection. Instead it also selects the previous word. There's a reason I keep coming back to this app - so much great potential. Being wasted. PLEASE sell this app to a developer who gives a s#!7. 1.50 update: This is getting old. Scrolling the main list of lists is much improved, but whenever I go into a list it's empty - the checkboxes are there, but no text. The data is still there - switch to plain text view - then back to lists. Back to 1.40. 1.45 Update: When going into any list everything moves quick and smooth, but scrolling the "list of lists" is still maddening broken, only slightly better than the last update - still stutters, lags, and hangs. Update: So I broke down and bought this awhile ago and it works pretty well. But two things bug me (one of which now appears to be fixed in 1.40): 1. This 1.40 update is extremely laggy on my 4s, to the point of being barely useable. I've closed the app from background and restarted my phone, but it's still sedated. It takes about 5 seconds for the splash screen to disappear and 5-6 more seconds before I can scroll my lists. 2. Why do we have to tap three times to clear "Untitled" from a new list? Why not add a button to clear it or just leave it blank? I emailed the developer months ago about this, but all I got in response was nothing. 3. When creating a new list, if you try to view it in plain text before saving it you can kiss that list goodbye. (this looks to be fixed now). Original review: I bought Droplist a few years ago and it worked beautifully - and was Universal for both iPhone and iPad. So that becomes abandonware and now we get this, from the same developer, which does essentially the same thing... but for another $3. I don't think so. I wonder if this app will make it to ver 2 before being abandoned.
