### 5/5 — Simple but smart - best shopping list app

*2025-02-03*

The app has some greatfeatures that make it easy to use. The best is the two views of your shopping list - one an alphabetical view for when you are sharing items at home. The second view is for when you are in the shop, and the app sorts the list in the order you find the items in the shop. Makes it so easy to run through your list and get everything. There’s also a really detail help page on the web that explains all about the app.

### 5/5 — Finally a shopping list app that does what I want

*2023-02-27*

This shopping list keeps the order of items as arranged during previous trips to the store. That is super-useful!

### 5/5 — Simple and useful

*2021-10-18*

It’s just a shopping list maker, but it’s simplicity is why I love it.

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2021-01-08*

This app is really easy to use and very handy to add things to your  list over the days before you go shopping. Very highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Finally found a truly simple & functional shopping app

*2017-07-08*

I have been looking for a grocery shopping list app to replace my very old “Simple Shop” app ever since Apple started putting up reminders that it won’t even work in upcoming iOS versions. I have downloaded and tried many so-called “simple" shopping list apps. Easy Shopping List accomplishes what I want with a lovely interface.

### 2/5 — Developer not interested in considering enhancements

*2017-01-10*

The app is fine - the issue I have is that when I made a suggestion that the developer add more colors to highlight items on the list because that's how I distinguish different stores, he basically said, " Nope - I'm not interested in doing that." Then suggested I use another app. I paid for this app and would like some consideration.  Get the free version - don't pay for this!

**Developer response:** As I said in my email that prompted you to write this review:

"The app is unashamedly simple and is really designed for shopping at just one store."

"I don't think I would be able to add multiple colours without making the user interface more complicated. And that would go against the whole philosophy of the app being simple and easy to use."

### 1/5 — Chez

*2016-10-01*

This was a really BIG waste of money. If you want to write a shopping list, (which this is), it is going to be less fuss to get a pen and pad. Much better apps available and cheaper.

### 5/5 — Great app!!!

*2015-09-27*

Very useful!
 I AM ADDING THIS, BECAUSE I CAN'T STOP BE FASCINATED BY SIMPLICITY AND USEFULNESS OF THIS APP! It does it's job with 100% efficiency! I AM USING THIS APP SINCE 2011 and not going to change into another one!

### 5/5 — A+

*2013-06-19*

Very useful for people on the go and that are always on there phone it's like y'all never forget what u need at the store again!!

### 4/5 — Easy shopping list

*2012-09-16*

I like it it's so simple. My favorite shopping app. I wish we could categorize it or move certain things around so I can write my list according to where things are located in the store.
