It is quite possible to work on iOS with the version described at https://checkvist.com/auth/mobile. It has fewer features than the desktop app, but quite usable, at least according to some feedback of our users.
Thanks,

May I ask you to share with me an outline which would illustrate the performance problems you faced? Thanks! (kirsa at Checkvist)

Not good enough for me. Sorry, but I won’t be going back till you have a real app.

Hello Folks, long time no see! But i’ve been lurking this amazing corner of the web as always, learning from the collective expertise of this amazing group of CRIMPers, uhrm, or should I say, Crimp-addicts? (Thank you Chris!)
Just wanted to add my endorsement for Kiril’s product here. I understand everyone has different needs and opinion, but i’ve been using Checkvist for a long time and they’ve been always keen to update the service with improvements and great vision.
Indeed, i believe there should be a separate mobile app with “share extensions” and such, and it is a urgent addition as people go more and more mobile, but the Progressive Web App works well enough for me, at least for checking on stuff I saved , which is my current mobile usage.
On the desktop browser, Checkvist shines with its great keyboard support and very intuitive UX, and ease of ways for sending stuff around the various lists and nodes. In fact, it has supplanted Dynalist for me as my tool for tasks and lists. I think someone that uses Dynalist should check on Checkvist and see if it fits their workflow, as it did fit mine.
