FV and FVP Forum > Good app for FV
Have a read of the Electronic Version thread which covers this and loads of other options. Have to say I am a big fan of Wunderlist myself.

So far I've found focus pad originally designed for autofocus on the iPhone works really well with FV
One touch entry from any position adds a new item to the end of the list. Two touches highlights as an equivalent to dotting.
Items can be marked as done, dismised, or done and automatically re-entered at the end of the list.- together with notes.
It supports multiple lists and items can be moved between lists or set to move between lists on a future date - perfect for "someday maybe" items. Also can be set to highlight (dotted) on a set date in the future.
Completed pages can be deleted or archived and on one touch can toggle between all pages, live pages, and archived pages.
The app works very naturally with FV and syncs to focuspad.ws where you can also work online.
There are no contexts or tags though you can search in the online version.
Any one else tried this?

Alison,
I believe you asked somewhere in the long "Electronic Version" thread if people were using multiple lists in Wunderlist. I've been using Wunderlist as well, and I use multiple lists. Here's how.
I currently have these Lists:
FV @ Office
FV @ Home
Waiting For
Someday/Maybe
and then a couple more for some special or bigger projects.
I add tasks to whichever List they seem to belong. I don't stress about it too much.
Then I either go through each list or click the View All button, and star (dot) my chain of 3-5 items. I really try to limit the length. It seems to keep the motivation high, and the trust as well. I know chains will be completed fast, and new items will get reviewed quickly as well.
The neat thing is that by sorting things in different Lists, when I am building a chain I can choose to see all, or just the Lists that seem relevant at the moment (like not looking at the work list when I'm home).
Then I view by Starred, and work the chain. Easy, easy. No hacking, and it works on all platforms right out of the box.
P.S. I've also been using BlancList exclusively at work. It's been keeping me focused on doing, not tweaking my lists. That is a bad pattern of mine, and BlancList seems to be so simple and fast and tweak-less, that I just do my work. But no sync, so it's just useful for my desktop computer at work.

Does anyone has any other recommendations for apps? Or maybe the old pencil and notebook are the best solution?
I am still in testing phase: I used to work with the notebook, but now I switch to Wunderlist. I wonder if I will stick with it...
