### 5/5 — The best grocery app + Great Support

*2026-08-19*

With AI tech support as the corporate preference it is unusual to find a reasonable level of service for anything I have purchased these days, let alone for such an inexpensive product. 

I had problem when I upgraded to Premium. It was entirely my fault. I wrote to Erik the app developer. I received amazingly fast turnaround on getting things back to working properly. 

I love AisleRunner and will continue to use it because it is the best app out there for this purpose and I am more than happy to pay for the subscription when the trial ends because Erik is what this world needs more of… an honest entrepreneur and a man of honor. 

I hope that many more people subscribe to support future improvements, although I really can’t think of anything that needs to be improved.

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2026-02-18*

I have used this grocery shopping app for years. It is without question the best one ever created

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2023-10-13*

I have been using aisle runner for over a year now. It has gotten so smart with my buying habits. I have over 100 items in it and it saves me so much time coming up with my shopping list and then organizing my shopping by aisle. Thank You

### 5/5 — AWESOME

*2021-12-09*

The best I have had

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind review.

### 5/5 — Time Saver

*2021-11-27*

When I go into the grocery store I want to purchase the items I want and get out. This application is great for that because it list what I want and I’ll sequence so I don’t have to run around the store looking for things.

Unfortunately, my wife loves walking up and down the isles looking for new things. That way I can add new items to the application and we are both happy.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2020-06-01, version 2.3*

I have been using aisle runner for over a year now. It has gotten so smart with my buying habits.  I have over 100 items in it and it saves me so much time coming up with my shopping list and then organizing my shopping by aisle. 
Thank You

### 2/5 — AisleRunner Ad Pop UPS in middle of screen

*2019-05-29*

Today I was using aisleRunner and add pop ups came in the middle of my screen. I couldn’t do anything unless I open that and said I wasn’t interested. I really liked AisleRunner— But not anymore and less I can get these ads to stop at least show up at the bottom of the screen instead of the middle

### 2/5 — Syncing not available??

*2018-06-20*

When and if this app has syncing, I will for sure change my rating to a 5.
Everything about this is awesome but the syncing. To me that’s a must have!

### 5/5 — honeymag

*2017-09-14, version 2.0*

Endlich ein Update von meiner geliebten App. Ich musste zwischenzeitlich umsteigen, war aber nicht so gut. Ich hoffe, dass ich jetzt wieder entspannt einkaufen kann und nichts mehr vergesse.

### 5/5 — Perfekt

*2017-09-01, version 2.0*

Genau was ich für die täglichen Einkäufe brauche: unterschiedliche Artikel gibt es in unterschiedlichen Läden, aber jeweils in einem anderen Gang. Das versteht sonst offenbar niemand.

Außerdem: super übersichtlich, viele Artikel auf einem Screen. Alle täglichen Aktionen gehen schnell: als nötig markieren, als gekauft markieren, Laden wechseln etc.

Ich will diese App nicht mehr missen!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.4 — 2026-08-23

• Sync you can see: if your changes can't reach the cloud for a while, AisleRunner now shows a clear warning with help — and the Account screen shows when your list last synced.
• Switching to your Apple ID account? A new option brings the lists on this device along with you.
• Fixed: removing a product's unit, note, aisle, or price now sticks.
• Fixed: a newly created unit or aisle now appears on the product right away.
• The 6-month Premium thank-you for long-time users and referral rewards are now granted more reliably — plus many small improvements.

### 3.3 — 2026-08-21

Thank you to everyone writing in — this update is again built from your reports!

NEW: The Add button now dims when the typed product already exists — no more "name already exists" surprises.
NEW: The Checkout button dims when there's nothing in the basket.
IMPROVED: Signing in with Apple on a second device now protects the lists on this device — the app asks before switching accounts instead of silently hiding your data.
IMPROVED: More reliable syncing on weak connections — lists no longer appear empty until a restart.
Plus small fixes and polish.

### 3.2 — 2026-08-03

Thank you to all our loyal users! This update — like the last ones — is built almost entirely from your emails and reports. Keep them coming!

NEW: "Search on top" — an option to place the search bar and Add button at the top of the list, fixed in place (… menu → Preferences). Requested by long-time users who missed it from the classic app.
FIXED: Creating a new product and assigning an aisle right away could lose the aisle and show a confusing "name already exists" message. Now it saves reliably — even with a poor connection or offline.
IMPROVED: Preferences are now grouped more clearly.

### 3.1 — 2026-07-31

This update is all about your feedback:

• Line Height works again — the slider in Preferences now actually changes the list density, and the range is wider: make rows more compact than ever (fit more items on screen) or larger for easier tapping.
• Bought "Remove Ads" years ago? Tap … → Restore Purchases — your purchase is honored: ad-free forever.
• A-Z index fixed — it no longer covers row content, and toggling it in Preferences applies instantly.
• Upgrading from version 2? If your list ever looks empty after the update, AisleRunner now detects it and offers the fix — switching to the right list or importing your old data — with one tap.
• New Support ID in the Account screen: if you ever contact support, copy it there so we can find (or delete) your data — it identifies your account, never you personally.

Questions or feedback? support@patoing.com — we read everything.

### 3.0 — 2026-07-25

AisleRunner has been rebuilt from the ground up. Your lists and stores carry over automatically, so just pick up where you left off.

As a thank-you to our long-time users: 6 months of AisleRunner Premium, free.

• Cloud sync across all your devices with Sign in with Apple
• Share lists with family and friends
• Apple Watch app, Siri voice commands, and widgets
• Scan a barcode to add products faster
• Undo accidental taps on the main list
• Full iPad and Mac support
• 1 month of Premium free for new subscribers

Thanks for shopping with AisleRunner!
