AnyList
This is the best free app!!! I use it for so many things: grocery list, thanksgiving dinner (what I’m making, what to ask others to bring, how much was bought/made vs eaten last year… ) a great way to get thanksgiving down to what people actually eat and not be stuck with the wrong leftovers. Christmas shopping list (this is great, someone mentions wanting/needing something in July and you can put it on the list under their category. Now you don’t need to remember who or what was the perfect gift. I also keep track of what I’ve bought for who and how much I’ve spent. Keeps you on budget and “even” if that’s an issue). To do list for me and of course my husband. I’ve used it when I’ve had to collect money for a group activity and you need to know who gave you that $20 that you can’t remember anymore, just make a list of everyone going and cross them off once they pay you. You always have your phone on you, so it’s that easy!! There are so many possibilities to use this app. Oh, my favorite meal prep. I write down all the things I like to make with a short list of everything that is needed for that meal: example hamburgers, rolls, cheese, tomatoes, potatoes for homemade fries. Beef stew, then list under it every thing you need to make it. This way you don’t forget an item. You definitely need this app you just don’t realize how much easier your life will be with it!!!Show lessErin B.Y.
MASTERPIECE!!
Sep ‘22 UPDATE: I have been using this (paid version) for 3 or 4 years now. It is still awesome. Just wanted to give credit where credits is due!
I spent two weeks trying out EVERY single grocery shopping app in the AppStore. Most really sucked. A handful were ok. None were really good, EXCEPT this one. This is the ONLY one that has all the features that I believe are necessary for a great grocery app: • Beautiful design (I can’t stand ugly design) • Great user interface and user experience • The ability to filter your grocery items by store • The ability to add price to the items • The ability to add notes and take a picture of the items. To the developers: This app is amazingly well done. Much kudos to you guys. I bought the family version right away after I saw that it had what I wanted. Keep it up! And please, don’t break it with silly “upgrades”. Upgrades are only acceptable if/when they improve the Ux. If it breaks the app or the Ux, then you messed up big time. Don’t rush to go live. It works great right now! Thanks for your hard work!Show lessSweSwirl
My favorite app
I rarely rate apps, never review them, and I generally don’t use paid apps. AnyList is the exception. I love this app. I use it primarily for managing my recipes, and grocery shopping list. It is one of few apps I have integrated to a smart speaker which allows me to easily add to the shopping list as I cook. Only a few eggs left, “Alexa add eggs to the grocery list.” I love finding new recipes online, but printing them results in pages of adds and extraneous info, and finding a recipe means flipping through sheafs of paper. With AnyList I just click the share icon and choose import recipe to AnyList. AnyList does an amazing job of finding the actual recipe, ingredients and procedures and capturing them in a really user friendly format. You can search and rate your recipes, and configure your iPhone to stay unlocked when Using the app so it doesn’t lock while you are following a recipe. It is also so easy to add recipe ingredients to your grocery list by just clicking the checkbox. The app has a meal planning feature which I do not use, but may be helpful for some. It is rare to find an app so we’ll designed and thought out. Bravo AnyList team!Show lessCliffblob
One of the most useful apps I’ve found
I used to have lists everywhere- on paper, in Notes app, on Google Drive - everywhere. With AnyList I now have all my lists in one place - groceries, big box stores, home improvement stores, pet supplies stores all have their own list - you just add to it when you think of it then open the list when you are at the store- makes it tough to forget things. I share this lists with my wife so we can both add to them anytime and remove items when one of goes to the store. The best use I have found is for my daughter at college - we have a list for her and she can add items to it whenever, avoiding the multiple texts that get lost over time. I purchased the subscription after year of using the feee version because I now have a home improvement list that I wanted to add a picture to so it can help me remember exactly what the problem is. Using the meal planner is next - I created one using the free version, but it was a bit cumbersome with having to add the days all of the time. Great app- highly recommended!Show lesspatrick - western, MA
Simplifies grocery shopping and meal planning!
I love this app. I feel like I’m an evangelist as I tell all my friends and family about this app. It has helped simplify our grocery shopping and meal planning SO much. I had tried a few different systems for planning and list making but they all fell a little short. I would try one for a bit and abandon it because it didn’t fit the bill. We have been using this nearly daily for over a year and will never switch to anything else! This makes it so much easier to share the load of meal planning and shopping with my spouse. We both have access to the same lists and can see everything in real time. I can add pictures to certain items that I know might trip up my spouse so they know they’ll buy the right thing. When I’m cooking and use up an item I just ask Siri to add it for me (so convenient!). I’ve created collections of recipes for different weeks and can just rotate between them. We made our favorites list so we can easily add our frequent items to the list. We even applied categories based on how we walk through the store, so we can make super quick grocery trips. Seriously love this app and I know I don’t even use all of the features!Show lessadriennehg
One of my favorite apps
I’ve been using this app for years and it just came up on my renewal, so I figured I would leave a review as I am always happy to subscribe. I use this as a family subscription at only $15 for a year. I used the free version for a while and enjoyed how much is included. But I love this application so much I wanted to ensure they got paid for my usage. The features of the paid version are genuinely useful. The recipe import alone is worth every penny. But the meal planning calendar is great, and when you decide to plan a recipe you can send all the ingredients right to your shopping list. I’ve used the pricing and store functions before in the past and it’s very easy and allows you to be more organized while planning. It also auto sorts groceries into categories. So while I am picking out all my fruits and veggies, I can look in that section and grab everything. I’m not searching through the list or missing something and need to go back because I didn’t see it. I use this for a household of two and we use our Alexa to add items to our shared list while going about our days. We also both have the app on our phones and can cross off items while shopping and see it updated in real time on each other’s lists. I couldn’t say enough about how happy I am with this app and will continue to use it and refer others to it as I will not use anything else after this. Thank you to the creators!Show lessAnnie0117
Excellent at more than Groceries
Though this app was originally conceived and promoted as a grocery list app, it has far greater benefits for each user as a result of the well thought out and easy to navigate system created by the developers. As an example, the USER may name the list, then establish categories within each list, add names of items to each category and follow with details about each item. The means to have four different levels of information with the ability to switch categories, or check off items as completed (and elect to have them retained by disappear) from you makes this app a very useful tool.
For example: Instead of a shopping list, with due acknowledgement to Stephen Covey for his fine work on The Seven Habits, one could create a List of Things to Do, with categories such as “Urgent & Important” or “Important but not Urgent” or “Neither Important nor Urgent”. When an item from a category has been completed, it may be noted as completed, and the item will be hidden from you, or you may elect to retain the item in a different category which may be added later, such as “Important for 2024”.
For those of you who like to stay organized, or who would like to get more done with the time you have, you will discover this app to be an increasingly frequent go to utility that greatly simplifies your life.Show less30 year financial planner
Love this app!
I’ve been using the AnyList app for years and have always enjoyed it. The free app was great and I was very happy with it. Then the complete version was expanded to include the ability for you to list the stores you shop at and assign the items in your shopping list to the store/s where you get them. You can filter your master list to show only the items assigned to one store so you don’t have to scroll through produce items when you’re at the home center store.. You can tell the app to what department you want items to be assigned. They also added a meal planing feature. There’s so much more to the paid version. I almost NEVER buy an app, but I made an exception with AnyList, and I’m so glad I did. It took me a long time to give in and pay the annual fee but it was totally worth it. Oh, another feature I love, available even in the free version, is you can share a shopping list you’ve created with a family member/roommate. When they shop for you and cross off an item, it’s crossed off in your phone, too, eliminating duplicate purchases. I highly recommend this app. Try the free version for a week or two. If you like it as much as I think you will, don’t wait, don’t hesitate—pay for the full version! You’ll be glad you did. 😊Show lessMumsie 3
I rely on this app daily
I have few apps I use as often as AnyList. It has become a valuable tool I use every day, multiple times per day. I update the grocery list any time I run out of something at home. Each item allows for you to put which stores you can buy that item, save it as a favorite so it automatically comes up the same every time you need it again, and then when you go shopping at one of those stores, hit the filter button and it will only show those items you need from that store. I love that.
The Recipe section allows for importing recipes from different apps. And then you can select those when creating a meal plan. It is the first time in my life I am actually using a meal plan daily (of course, I had to put “Look at meal plan” on my To Do list -repeated daily- to remind me and get that new habit started).
I love this app so much, that I, generally, won’t use a cooking/recipe app that doesn’t allow for sending the recipe to AnyList.
Additionally, I am in the construction trade and have created Hardware store lists for jobs. This app is highly valuable to me.Show lessMamaChile
Just when you think it can’t get better
I have stated to many friends and family how I love this App. I’ve said it for years. Still my favorite App. It’s on my iPhone, iPad and laptop. My wife has it on her iPhone. I love how the shared lists between us update so rapidly. If I’m out shopping and my wife remembers an item we need but forgot to add, she adds it to the list. While I’m out shopping and I see the update immediately and I’m also notified that she updated the list. It’s also great when we shop together and divide and conquer. I’ve said many times I can’t imagine how the App could possibly get any better, but yet these developers seem to achieve that very thing year after year. I use this App for grocery shopping, making list for travel items and anything else I need to remind myself of. I also love the that I can keep my recipes categorized and plan daily meals and add needed ingredients from the recipes straight into the shopping list. Now even better, they made it possible to port your AnyList shopping list straight into your grocery store App. You select the exact items you want from the store App and submit. Then they deliver to your door or go to curbside pickup and receive your order. Now I ask again….can this App get any better? I bet these developers will find a way.Show lessMac Friendly
