### 5/5 — Works well, with some quirks

*2026-07-03*

But once you get used to the quirks, it works as well or better than any such a list I’ve ever seen.

### 5/5 — Useful app

*2026-05-30, version 7.0*

Brilliant versatile app - use it daily

### 4/5 — Great tool to create shopping lists

*2026-05-29*

As I get older I feel the need to be more organized when I go shopping and the best way is to create a list for each of the stores I plan to shop. This makes that easy and keeps all of my shopping lists at my fingertips.

### 5/5 — Great list

*2026-05-18, version 7.0*

Great list

### 5/5 — Perfect For ALL Your Lists!!

*2026-05-18*

I use this everyday! Fantastic for your Grocery List, To Do List, Order Online List, etc. Whatever you want to list! I literally use this every day! So easy to keep track of things you need to do and need to buy!

### 1/5 — Purchased version is worse than the free version

*2025-09-22*

When it was free, everything looked good except for the ads. So I upgraded to the paid version hoping that I'll continue to enjoy all the existing features sans the ads.

But with the paid version is missing the notifications feature. When I mark items to buy, it shows the number of items on the app and this served as a reminder to buy. 

Now the paid version doesn't have it and I'm forgetting to go and buy. They have a reminder button but that's not what I'm looking for. I want the number of items to show on the icon badge.

### 5/5 — Best one out of 6 reviewed

*2025-07-09*

After reviewing several shopping list apps this is the best-hands down! When shopping other shoppers see me using it and the cashiers think it’s great so I always show everyone and recommend.

### 4/5 — Very nice

*2025-05-22, version 6.1*

If you like simple and effective, this is it!
Wish there was a straightforward way to edit an entry in the event of a misspelling.

### 5/5 — Perfect For ALL Your Lists!!

*2025-04-04*

I use this everyday! Fantastic for your Grocery List, To Do List, Order Online List, etc. Whatever you want to list! I literally use this every day! So easy to keep track of things you need to do and need to buy!

### 5/5 — Long time user

*2025-04-02*

I’ve used others here n there but always come back to this one. Tried & true, this one holds up
