### 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.

### 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.

### 4/5 — Decent app

*2025-03-29, version 6.1*

Works ok for the most part. Adding items to categories is time consuming. A little glitchy when trying to move item between shopping lists.

### 4/5 — App Útil

*2024-11-10*

Muito bom o app. Recomendo.

### 4/5 — A Evoluir

*2024-07-11*

Faltam a inclusão de itens com o código de barras. Também a possibilidade de compartilhamento On line entre pessoas da mesma família a exemplo do app “To Do” da Microsoft.

O app “Melhor Lista de Compras” é intuitivo e fácil de usar. Após configurado com os itens costumeiros de compras, aumentam a facilidade e controle nas compras. Ótimo.

### 5/5 — Works Great

*2023-12-04, version 6.0*

I usr this app daily to keep lists for everything. I have fibromyalgia and it is cognitive. I make lists to help me remember and understand what i need from the store, from amazon, from anywhere. I have an errands list, a samsclub list, a list of tasks i need to complete at home or for others, and a list of work tasks. I have been much more successful at keeping track of my life with this app. The price is reasonable also.

### 5/5 — Continual attention is required to improve this app, like all apps.

*2023-11-20, version 6.0*

The app has improved but can be improved further by future updates with more functionality. The app now has a larger font size, which is a welcome improvement. I used this app for several years as a shopping list for free. I hope that a basic version of this app remains free to use for anyone wanting to use it.

### 5/5 — Useful app

*2023-10-20, version 6.0*

Brilliant versatile app - use it daily

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

*2023-10-13*

I use this everyday! Fantastic for your Grocery List, To Do List, Order Online List, etc. Whatever you want to list! And um, yes you CAN set your grocery list up by the layout of your store (another reviewer said you couldn't). Just put a number in front of your category per layout of your store. For example: my store starts out with Hygiene on one side of the store, next is Cleaning, next is Home Care, next Crackers, etc. So you put the sequential numbers in front of the category.. 1 Hygiene, 2 Cleaning, 3 Home Care, 4 Crackers, etc., working your way to the other side of the store. Of course putting the items you want under each category. So simple and easy! Gets you through the store very fast- no backtracking, which I always used to do!

### 5/5 — Great list

*2023-09-28, version 6.0*

Great list

### 4/5 — Wondering...

*2023-04-07*

I like the app and use it all the time. I don't understand; however, why the titles seem to have no logical order on display. I have to scroll through, almost, the full use before finding the stores/titles I use most frequently. It makes no sense. Also, I can't cut and paste any items from one list to another. Strange...

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

*2023-03-24*

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

### 3/5 — Critic

*2023-03-18, version 5.1*

It is very annoying that when you add a new product in a list you cannot directly select the  category it goes in.

### 5/5 — Best one out of 6 reviewed

*2023-03-17*

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.

### 5/5 — Long time user

*2023-03-13*

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

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

*2023-03-12*

I use this everyday! I had to switch to this app because back in the day, my old one was a 32 bit and wouldn't be updated. I didn't want to switch, but am so glad I did! Fantastic for your Grocery List, To Do List, Order Online List, etc. Whatever you want to list! And um, yes you CAN set your grocery list up by the layout of your store (another reviewer said you couldn't). Just put a number in front of your category per layout of your store.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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.

### 1/5 — New version

*2022-02-19, version 5.0.1*

New version keeps crashing.

### 1/5 — Not very friendly. To add a new item you have to start from the beginning.

*2021-04-18, version 4.0*

Not very friendly

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2018-11-04, version 3.4*

Not worth it

### 1/5 — Easy to customize

*2017-03-19, version 3.3*

What I love about this app is how customizable everything is. The categories can be wiped and rewritten, as well as unit measurements, and it seems to have unlimited shopping lists. The tax feature is great too! Worth the money for ad free.

### 1/5 — Can't find any way to categorize items!

*2016-05-16, version 3.2*

I've just spent thirty minutes trying to figure out how to move grocery items from the default category of "uncategorized" to specific categories. No luck. I also don't like that there is no icloud integration between my ipad and iphone. Then I notice that to back up and restore requires typing a url address into the browser. At that point I decided that paper and pencil would be way easier than trying to use this app.

### 2/5 — Upgrade made it more difficult

*2022-02-28, version 5.0.1*

Was perfect. Then someone decided they needed to “improve” it. Now it’s cumbersome.

### 2/5 — Ok, it will do until I find my perfect app

*2017-07-18, version 3.3.1*

I moved from an Android phone to an iPhone. My PERFECT Android app, Mighty Grocery, isn't available on iOS.  So I've been trying out all sorts of grocery apps for an equivalent.  This one meets the bare minimum requirements, but there is lots of room for improvement.  

I want to be able to remove purchased items from my list, leaving unpurchased items to buy at a later date.  Not possible.

I'd like to organize my list by the store's aisle layout, possible, but you have to go through creative contortions to achieve it.  

Easily move an item from one list to another? Nope.

Save an item's description for next time? Nope!

It doesn't even save a price that is entered so you can track costs over time.  

Boo!

The single plus is that I can add as many lists add I want, and no stupid ads or coupons to deal with. 

This app meets the basic requirements, but I'll keep searching for the perfect iOS app.

### 3/5 — Crashes

*2024-05-18, version 6.0*

Every time that I try to change the category on uncategorized items the app crashes. But so far beyond that I like the app. I just wish it wouldn’t crash.
