### 4/5 — Great app, easy to use

*2026-07-14, version 1.4.2*

Great app - have been using the packing app for years and recently started using this one. Only taken off 1 star as I would love it to change to dark mode when my phone is in dark mode - the white screen is super bright at night!

### 4/5 — Good but…

*2026-05-31, version 1.4.2*

It would be nice to not have to scroll down to get to your category  Maybe a search bar so you can type in the area you want to see.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2026-04-15, version 1.4.2*

This is a good shopping app for groceries and more. The biggest thing it misses is a search to find an item in your list.

### 2/5 — Needs more editing options

*2026-01-13, version 1.4.0*

Not working particularly well for me at the moment. It’s a US oriented list and out of five added items, three of them do not appear on the default lists. These are not unusual items, such as drain unblocker and washing up liquid, brandy. If I could easily add them to their natural category, ie ‘cleaning’ that wouldn’t be too bad but the only way I can see to add an item is to create a new folder and add it to that. And even that process is not obvious. It should be possible to create new items within their appropriate folders. I would be willing to pay the modest premium price but not until this basic feature is added and there is no indication that you would have this option if you pay premium. It’s a basic oversight.

### 3/5 — Family sharing didn’t work

*2025-08-25, version 1.4.0*

I paid for premium and shared a collaboration link, but the app asked the other person to upgrade to premium in order collaborate. Family sharing didn’t work either.

### 4/5 — Like, but missing one thing

*2024-02-14, version 1.1.1*

I have dozens of items in my grocery list and many categories. Sometimes I forget which category I put an item in and could easily find it if there was a search function…please add!

### 2/5 — Too complicated

*2023-11-06, version 1.1.1*

It’s a lil complicated to use. Needs to be more user friendly.

### 4/5 — Missing a deleting of all completed items feature

*2023-06-10, version 1.1.1*

Other than this app having no feature to delete items already completed/checked, it works well! Most other apps offer deleting shopping items already in the cart, not this app—this would be tremendously useful but is missing. It is weird, also, that it auto-creates new items without you even wanting to add a new item but that’s a small issue I can live with. All in all, pretty good stuff!

### 4/5 — Can’t find the list I’m creating

*2023-04-16, version 0.9.2*

Adding items to a list is overwhelming.  I couldn’t find the list I was creating to verify it.  Also, I couldn’t be specific.  I couldn’t type in “red” cabbage.  The app wanted me to use the general word “cabbage “.  I need an app that allows me just to add one item at a time and the ability to see the list I’m making.

### 4/5 — Great

*2023-04-13, version 0.9.2*

Thos app is helpful and useful, it’s easy to use, if this support dark mode will more powerful

### 2/5 — Across Device Use

*2023-03-29, version 0.9.2*

Why can’t this app be used across my devices or share app with family members.

### 2/5 — Missing Big Feature

*2023-01-05, version 0.9.2*

While I like the custom category and organizational features, the current set up in this app is kind of useless. While you tend to have a big list with all your items that you usually keep stocked at home, you won’t necessarily need to buy each item every trip. What would really make sense is the ability to make a inventory list of ALL the things you typically like to keep in stock from a particular store. Having the inventory list helps remind you of all the things to check at home. While doing so, simply check off the items you need, add their quantity, and then the app should send it to a one time trip list. Once that grocery trip is done you should be able to delete that trip list, and repeat the process the next trip.

### 3/5 — Syncing

*2022-12-03, version 0.9.2*

I just got this app.  Wish I could sync my iPad and iPhone!  If there’s a way please let me know

### 2/5 — Easier to Use the Notes App

*2022-11-26, version 0.9.2*

I was looking for a new shopping list app as the one I had been using was deleting items on its own (before I had checked them off, causing me to forget to pick them up). This one looked promising but there are little things that just irritate me. When I add an item, it auto-populates a new item in that category. I hate that because normally I’m not looking to add another item to that specific category right away and so there “new item” sits as though it’s something I’m shopping for. Also, I don’t see a way to mass clear the checked items, so I have to go through one by one and delete them once I’m done. It’s a waste of time and now I’m still on the look for a good list app.

### 3/5 — Needs

*2022-10-27, version 0.9.2*

Instructions on creating and using the lists would be a great help.

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2022-10-23, version 0.9.2*

I wish there was a way to see just the items you need and hide the ones you don’t.  I want to be able to toggle back and forth between seeing all the items and just the ones I need so I am not scrolling through the whole list.  I do like the simplicity about it and easy to read.

### 2/5 — No Support

*2022-07-08, version 0.9.2*

Despite paying for the upgrade, the developer will not resp9nd to my request for assistance or answer any questions. There is no value in the upgrade as the app works the same way without paying an additional fee.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Shop

*2025-11-04, version 1.4.0*

Found it very confusing to use. Deleting it

### 1/5 — No longer supported.

*2024-03-11, version 1.1.1*

No app update in 9 months.

### 1/5 — There is a charge

*2022-12-04, version 0.9.2*

Does not openly show that there is a charge until after you download  
I deleted it right away  
Hopefully I am not charged 399

### 1/5 — Confusing

*2022-04-11, version 0.9.2*

I spend more time trying to figure out the list than I do shopping. I want to put in my items. I want the items to automatically populate from the items table when I enter the item name. I want the item to go away when I check the box. I had a really great, simple app that did that, but it’s not supported anymore. This one I’m deleting. Notes are easier.

### 1/5 — Difficult to use

*2022-03-25, version 0.9.2*

This app is nothing special. I can’t assign categories to items that I add. I sent an email without a response. This was a total waste of money!

### 1/5 — Can’t share

*2022-01-28, version 0.9.2*

I thought this would be great for my husband and I to be able to send grocery lists since we both have the app but we can’t. Great if it is just you but if you want to share with your spouse, keep looking.

### 1/5 — Overly complicated

*2021-12-23, version 0.9.2*

I just wanted a grocery list app and this one was way too complicated.

### 1/5 — Counter intuitive

*2021-11-19, version 0.9.2*

Worst list app I have ever used. It already has a list of items and you can only add 11 of your own. If your items aren’t on there after that, you can’t list it! Hard pass.

### 1/5 — Sync is flat out LIE

*2021-11-07, version 0.9.2*

I bought premium and it will not sync.  Not failing. The app literally has NOTHING to allow it

FRAUD

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2021-08-07, version 0.9.2*

To be honest with you, I really like the way this app works and so I decided to pay the 2.99 so I could create my list on my iPad and have it transfer to my phone to go shopping. Well that didn’t happen. I waited almost 24 hours and still have not had my list go through iCloud to my iPhone. I have checked to make sure all the settings are correct on my phone and tablet and ……..nothing. I want my $2.99 back. I’ll use the app, but regret the in app purchase.

Esta app me encanta y la uso mucho. Me ayuda a tener orden con mi compra! La amo

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2026-06-18, version 1.4.2*

Excellent app. Works great for the groceries shopping and the price is good

### 5/5 — My grocery list

*2025-11-15, version 1.4.0*

Love it! Have it set up for the 3 Grocery stores that I go to.  I need 3 different lists that I can do on SHOP.  Makes it so efficient and simple.  The BEST!

### 5/5 — A reminder feature would make this app outstanding

*2025-08-21*

Including a reminder feature would take this app to the next level.

### 5/5 — Get organized, then shop

*2025-02-23, version 1.3.6*

Intuitive App. Easy to add and edit items, groups, and also categories—mine are named for stores I where I shop regularly. Easy to copy/paste items, including, from one list to another. I clicked the “help” icon and received very prompt and helpful feedback from Diego. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2023-11-20, version 1.1.1*

Like the app, I do wish the ad for premium was a little less intrusive.

### 5/5 — Love This App

*2023-09-12, version 1.1.1*

I’ve been looking for a simple, editable shopping list for a long time.  This fits the bill.  I will definitely be upgrading to premium!

### 5/5 — Great Beginning

*2023-03-06, version 0.9.2*

I’m on the front edge of my “Master Grocery List”… and it’s potential looks amazing. I foresee the digital tool that’s going to fully support my grocery shopping angst & inventory management. Expiration Dates beware… we’re about to find peaceful coexistence.

### 5/5 — Best

*2022-12-23*

Tested out a few geocery list apps. you guys nailed it, congrats. best UX out there. thanks for this app, gonna go premium.

p.s. night theme is desirable; would be handy if item stayed for a little longer after checking (check how it's done in Things), so in case of missclick you could quickly undo.

### 5/5 — Dark mode

*2022-07-07, version 0.9.2*

Great app. Now to be aesthetically pleasing, can we get dark mode compatibility?
