When I create a new list and am prompted to input the list name, the text field contains (I think) the last active list name. This is highlighted, but the keyboard doesn't appear, meaning that you need to tap the input field to focus it, then highlight the name, then add the new list name. It would be better if we could just start typing the new list name.
This has always been my intention, but back then I was unable to realise this. I've forcefully set the keyboard focus in the textfield, but still the keyboard will not open. I'll look into this again when I have the time. Maybe I can find a solution.

At the moment, after adding a new list, we have to select it, and then click the input button before we can start typing.
Although it sounds very nice to have the app do all that for you. It would make the interaction quite a bit hard to follow. If after creating a new list you'd be presented with the edit list screen then after a minute of editing and you save the list you'd pop back to the Lists view which wasn't the last view you've visited, because that would be the create new list view. But returning the user back to the create new list view would also be weird.
Returning the user to the list items view might work, but then the user would be going from Lists->new list->edit list->list items view.
Which to me is a bit confusing.
Maybe in the end it would prove a better user experience, but for me personally I'd rather think for myself and decide for myself where I'm in the app rather than having the app decide all that for me. And as the most important end-user, which I consider myself , I'd rather stick to the current app flow.

I have a 'current tasks' list which I would always prefer to see first, rather than the most recent list.
Setting a default list is indeed a nice feature to have and I'll consider adding this functionality.
However I'm not a fan of the open default view function. For instance: lets say you've selected the Lists view then what should the Back button do?
