Finally I found a good to-do application that can do exactly what I wanted. Sadly, I never heard about this until I got an amazon dot and was given Any.Do as one of the options to manage lists. I gave it a spin and in 3 hours I upgraded to premium and I was even happier.
Thanks for the great work done here.
