Leave a Review AnyList
Finally! Nobody forgets the list now!!!
Long-needed, and very well-designed! (And, if you are sharing between or among others, the paid version is the only way to go, as far as I am concerned.) Not only can I create lists, designated locations and new categories, but it's so easy to use that I can keep track of what I need to pack for travels, items needed from home for hospital stays (I'm constantly in and out of the hospital, and seem to need the same items from home each time), gift ideas, chore lists, quarterly house repairs / things to inspect... any kind of list you can imagine. Even items I need to gather as I'm writing each chapter of my dissertation! You can choose to share or not (grocery items, etc., absolutely; gift ideas and dissertation lists, not so much). And everything fits logically. One of my favorite parts is the ability to "cross off" what you have purchased... but retain the entire list (and all purchases prior) in memory for easy new lists; just open your chosen list fully (click the "eye" at the top) to see everything you've gotten during previous trips and uncheck them to active status. You guys have come up with the best idea in ages. This is, without doubt, one of the top ten apps on my phone! *THANK YOU!!!*Show lessLPMemphis
This is the best app for my ADHD (without even being for ADHD!)
I’ve been using for almost a year and the modestly priced premium version has paid for itself over and over again. I’ve converted at least 6 people to be true believers. Some of my favorite features that I truly believe have cumulatively improved my quality of life: - Save recipes from the web and ones that friends send you in seconds (then I can add notes, select categories and even edit the recipe) - NO ADS when reading your recipe making it easy to read and you can even highlight each step as you work on it (and check off ingredients as you add them) - Organizable library of all my recipes (and my personal ratings) - I never remember the stuff I like and know how to make, but the library makes it easy to look through and add the things I haven’t made in a while - Add to grocery list directly from recipes (grocery list auto updates on all devices for me and my partner AND Alexa can add things too) - Scaling recipes (even abnormal increments) - Fast and personal messaging with the actual app developers with any questions. Suggestions for a more perfect app: - Share viewing access libraries with friends - Recipe ratings allow for half stars That’s all, it’s the Interstellar (2014) of apps (beautiful & life changing)!!!Show lessNbakerNbaker
Most useful app I’ve ever used
This app is single-handedly responsible for getting me into cooking genuinely amazing meals every week at home. I subscribed to the paid features fairly early on after downloading this app and can really only speak to the experience of using the premium benefits. The recipe import feature is worth its price in gold. You can find any recipe on any website and AnyList will organize it perfectly from separating out ingredients to listing out each individual step for cooking/prep. I truly believe this app makes cooking easier due to how incredibly organized it keeps your recipes, ingredients, and grocery lists. I started using this as a college student with just a crock pot and let me say, I’ve been able to make some amazing meals with absolutely zero cooking expertise. If you’re already a halfway decent cook in need of some organization I can’t even imagine how much better off you’d be with this app. I could go on for a while speaking to all the features AnyList but instead I’d recommend you spend the $10 on premium and get started, you won’t be disappointed. If you’re looking for the most organized way to keep a database of recipes, create grocery lists, and plan meals out weeks in advance, this is the best app out there. Period.
Thank you AnyList, I never knew cooking could be this fun :)Show lessBlackhawksnhl28
Having app issues please fix
I’m not really sure how to get a hold of somebody for support, but my AnyList app and the API with the grocery store apps isn’t working as it has for the last couple of years. I sadly live in breathe through the API that you have built between Alexa AnyList and my local grocery store. It makes my life so much easier. It’s just a breeze but the last couple days trying to grocery shop has been impossible because when I grocery shop online through your app it freezes and then it goes back to the beginning and starts all over and when I shop I shop for $500 worth of groceries for a family of six so this just doesn’t work for me so the other day I thought it was working and I went through and I added everything to my cart and now I don’t check out through the app because the way that it works it’s never applied the coupons correctly that’s neither here there but I left the interface between with grocery store and AnyList and it asked if I want to cross off all I think it was 37 items and so I did and then I left AnyList and I went to my grocery stores app and nothing was in the cart and then I had no record of what, possibly I might’ve had on my grocery list this week that I accumulated for two weeks So if there’s a bug, could you guys please fix it thanks I’ve been using your app for I want to say at least 10 years now loyal loyal customer every year I renew because you guys please just look at this. Thanks so much.Show lessAnother Angry Mom Too

Please email us at team@anylist.com and we'd be glad to help. Thanks!Longtime User 💕💕💕
I’ve used AnyList for quite a few years. I have both Alexa and Siri connected to add to my grocery list with ease. I also share my list with my husband so whoever is shopping has access to the list. If he’s shopping I can actually see items being crossed off the list as he puts them in the cart. Well, I’ve always looked at the recipe section in AnyList but never attempted to try it until a couple months ago. Oh how I wish I would have tried it sooner!!!! It is awesome!!! It’s so easy to save recipes from other websites! You can add the categories you want (ie: cakes; casseroles; side dishes etc). It shows the list of ingredients for the recipe and you can click on an ingredient from the list to add to your shopping list. Then the recipe is shown in steps. It has a picture too!! And a connection to the site it was from. So if you’re wondering why I am so extremely excited about this is because I have looked and saved recipes from many websites over the years. I could never remember which site the recipe was from, and it would take me forever to find it, sometimes never finding it. Now using AnyList, when I find a recipe, all I have to do is hit the share icon click on AnyList and save. Then add it to the category I want. Love it!! I’m going to try Meal Planning next. ☺️Show lessinspctrcat
Best Shopping List/Recipe app by FAR!!
I absolutely love this app! I have had recipe and grocery list apps of all kinds before. This one is by far the best I have ever used. I got to the point I was just entering recipes in Pages and saving them in categories because I wasn’t finding an app I really liked. Enter Anylist. Being able to export a recipe from a website directly into Anylist most of the time makes it super useful. I have also been copying and pasting my hundreds of recipes from Pages into Anylist. I also love using it on my iPhone where I can take a picture of a printed recipe and copy and paste from the picture into the app. I have started moving mom and grandma’s recipes from paper over. I can’t say enough good about this app. Have a recipe you want to make and know you need some ingredients from the store. Simply click on the item and it is added to your shopping list. We share the app with everyone in the house so if you stop at the store you can checkout the list and pick up what we need. Again; it is by far one of my most used apps and that is saying something as I’m a geek and have many, many apps! Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!Show lessLDS Dad
Fantastic app!
I’ve tried so many grocery list apps, and have had issues, minor and major, with all of them, except this one. It’s everything you’d want and works so well. The instruction guides are clear and so helpful. The documentation when you sign up covers everything you need to know for your next steps. The customer service team is so helpful and friendly. I just spent time setting up the app with my old app’s lists, and smiling like crazy when I’d find a new thing with this app that just works so well. It’s perfect!
EDIT: I’ve had the app for a few weeks now and I love it even more! The pasteboard feature to add multiple items at once got a true workout when I added nearly 350 items to my grocery store Favorites list, which I did aisle by aisle. It works especially well with the web interface, which you need the annual subscription for. Even with the annual household subscription, that works out to only $1.25 a month! It’s SO worth it!Show lessArbysMom
Life Changing
I keep all of my shopping lists in AnyList. I have certain lists that I share with my husband so that if he is going to the grocery store or target he can buy the items that I’ve already added to the list. When he crosses off an item it disappears off of my list as well. Also if I am at a drugstore or a hardware store and I am trying to remember what else I should buy while I am there I can check the items that have been crossed off previously. But the feature that I use the most is my daily task list. I use this list for tasks that have to be done over and over like laundry or exercising or keeping my email account cleared out. I can cross off items as I go throughout my day and then repopulate the list the next day. Thank you AnyList creators! Recently I went on a family trip and everyone in my family was using AnyList. While my husband was driving we discussed what we wanted to eat that week and we we were able to add items to the list. We headed in different directions when we got into the store and since we were all shopping off of the same list we were able to cross items them off while we shopped. Fastest group shopping trip ever!Show lessM.P.Y.
Just what we needed...
A few years ago I wanted to find a way to track things my wife and I needed to purchase at the store. We experimented with a few other competitive products and found to be just the right ticket! Both of us are able to update the same list. The ability to add comments is very useful. The notification feature is extremely useful. For example, when I am picking up some things at the store for my wife, she can see when I cross them off the list on her phone. Even better, if she thinks of something else she can add it to the list and I am notified while I am walking down the grocery aisle. Once you start using the list, you'll find that it is helpful for much more than groceries. To me life is a lot about list management. This is a great tool for managing all sorts of various lists. I have not been using the upgraded version but eventually they'll probably hook me up with something I just have to have. But meanwhile we are very grateful for the free version and it is extremely useful to our family. Thank you.Show lessTried to make it work.
This app is a game changer!!!
I started using the free version for just my grocery lists and I loved it! I set up separate lists for my favorite stores and edited the categories to the layout of each store, so I can shop without wandering back and forth between departments. I was able to link to my Alexa and easily add things to my lists verbally from any room without having to remember to do it later! Then I decided to try the paid version. Oh My Goodness!!! I can import recipes from apps like Pinterest directly into AnyList. THEN I can create a meal/menu calendar. When I’m viewing recipes I plan to make, I can simply click to add individual ingredients I will need, and AnyList will ADD those ingredients to my shopping lists! 😳 As a person who used to spend hours planning meals for the month, writing one list for what I need, another list to separate by stores I shop, and finally organizing each list according to the layout of the store, this app has completed changed this and made my meal planning SO much easier!!! I recommend tenfold!Show lessSouthernfam5
