Infinity Lists has arrived

New iCloud Version of List Master FAQ

Note: "List Master" (Pro) has been renamed to "Infinity Lists""

If you had List Master Pro, you have automatically been upgraded to this new version.
If you have List Master, you will need to install this version from the App Store.
The following are questions/answers for those who would like to know more about the process.

Feel free to Contact Us with any questions/concerns.

Why are you switching to iCloud Syncing?

When I first created List Master in 2009, it was one of the first 100,000 apps on the app store. At that time, there was no good syncing software out there, so I wrote my own. It was never a perfect solution, but served a purpose. When Apple introduced iCloud syncing, I wanted to use it but my data model didn't support it. Recently, I decided to make it a priority and put in hundreds of hours to change the data model in the app to one that works with iCloud. With this solution, you will no longer need to create a List Master account, and your lists will sync instantaneously across all of your apple devices. It was a major overhaul, but I think it will be worth it.

Is there a minimum iOS version for this upgrade?

Yes. iOS 17.6 or greater is required.

I only have one device, so don't need to sync with other devices. Is there any value in iCloud syncing for me?

Yes. iCloud syncing syncs your data safely to Apple's servers. This is useful in case you ever delete the app or get a new device. In which case, your lists will automatically show up when you re-install the app.

Why a subscription model?

I have researched many of the other list apps and feel mine is more sophisticated, intuitive and powerful than the others, and am pricing it competitively.

What are the subscription levels?

You can subscribe monthly ($2.99), annually ($19.99), or pay for a one-time lifetime subscription ($49.99, discounted 50% for existing users to $24.99).

Will I get a discount?

Yes, all existing users of the the app can get the one-time lifetime subscription for $24.99 (a 50% discount).

Will there be a grace period?

Yes, there will be a two week grace period from the date I release the new version for existing users, before you will need to choose a subscription option. And then after you choose a subscription, there will be another two week trial period.

Can I keep syncing with List Master Cloud?

If you choose to not use the new iCloud version, you can still use the version with List Master Cloud until November 2026, at which time the server that supports it will be going away.

Will I be able to sync my lists with other people?

Yes, this is a major feature I worked hard to get into this new version. You will be able to share and sync any lists you specify with other Infinity Lists users.

Can I manage my lists from my desktop computer?

If you have a Mac computer, you can install Infinity Lists there from the Mac App Store and use it just like you do on your mobile device.

Can I keep using the website?

The website will be available until November 2026. After that, it will no longer be available. If you have a Mac computer, you can use the Infinity Lists app there instead,

What about money I paid for website membership?

If you've paid for membership beyond November 2026, please contact us if you'd like a refund.

Can I help beta test the new version?

I have many customers already signed up for beta-testing. If you have a strong interest, though, you can email me and let me know.

What if I have List Master Pro?

Your app will be upgraded to the iCloud version automatically,

What if I have List Master and upgraded to Pro with an in-app purchase?

What if I don't know whether I have List Master or List Master Pro?

Go to the app settings and tap About. The title will be "List Master (Pro)" if you have List Master Pro. It will be "Infinity Lists" if you had List Master Pro and have been upgraded to the new iCloud sync version. If it says "List Master (Upgraded)" or "List Master (Lite") you have List Master and will need to download Infinity Lists, when it is released, in order to use the new version.

How do I get my data from List Master into Infinity Lists?

Please see the instructions below.

What will happen with my data on List Master Cloud?

You can delete your account at any time. When the server goes away in 2026, all data will be erased.

What happens to my data if I delete the Infinity Lists app?

Once your data is synced to iCloud, it will stay there forever. So, you can delete the app and re-install it and your data will still be there.

Will the new app have all the same features?

Yes! It has all the same feature and look. Plus some new ones. And some exciting new features planned for the future.

Will I be able to backup my database? Within the app? Via email? Via Dropbox?

Yes, to all. The new version will have all the same backup options as the current one.

Will I be able to import and export lists?

Yes, just the same as you can now.

If I don't need to sync and I'm ok not getting future updates, can I stay on the current version of List Master?

Yes, you just need to make sure to install List Master and not List Master Pro (or the new name Infinity Lists)

Can I opt out of this upgrade?

Yes. If you do not want the new iCloud syncing or any new features or updates, or the new pricing model, you can use the app as it is. There are two apps on the App Store - List Master and List Master Pro. List Master will remain as is, without the iCloud syncing or any future updates. List Master Pro will be renamed Infinity Lists and have the iCloud update and continuing development and support. If you installed List Master, you can continue to use it. If you installed List Master Pro, you would need to download List Master for free and import your lists via your List Master Cloud account or from List Master Pro. I provide full instructions for this simple process below. Note: Eventually, I will remove the existing app from the App Store, so all new customers will only be offered the new app. You will still be able to keep the old app on your phone, just won't be able to re-install it if needed, and I won't be maintaining it.

Can I get the new app but opt out of the iCloud syncing?

Yes, Apple makes this possible for any app. On your device, go to Settings > your name > iCloud, and tap "See All" next to "Saved to iCloud" to toggle syncing on or off for specific apps.

Instructions for importing your lists from List Master into Infinity Lists

These instructions are for people who had purchased List Master (not List Master Pro) previously, and would like to switch to Lists.

Important: If you have List Master on multiple devices with the same iCloud account, do the following on only ONE device (per iCloud account). Once that procedure is complete, then delete the app from your other device(s) and reinstall from the App Store. When you open the newly installed app on those devices, it will bring in the lists you imported to your first device to these other devices via iCloud sync.
