It's awesome that you want to help us remove incorrect alternatives. Feel free to report more applications below. But keep in mind that the only reason for an alternative not to be valid is if it doesn't share common functionality with Listary. It might not be a good choice according to you but it’s still an alternative. Read more about our thoughts about alternatives here.

If you register you don't have to enter a captcha.

If you want to report an error on an application, for example if it's discontinued or the platforms is wrong, please go to the application and click the "Report This Application" button in the sidebar. You have to be registred to do this.
