Poor Update
It was perfect as a basic app for years. A recent update to make it look more modern just made it annoying to use.
Pretty great until they changed the layout
Used to be very easy to organize and use. Last update they made the background dark and now it’s hard to read and items are not as obvious. This isn’t an art project for school. It’s supposed to be as useful as possible. Save your creativity ideas for other projects and make this functional first! Also, would be nice if they listed ALL ITEMS in alphabetical order. Some are, some are not. Makes looking much harder.

IOS26 change
NOT HAPPY!!! Changed my specialized lists that I put a lot of time into. These were set up by where items are located by aisle in my store. Those of us with disabilities can’t be running back n forth for missed items. All that so you can tie in directly with the grocery chains? I will be deleting.
New Version
The old format was much easier to use and navigate. Bring back that as an option please.
Almost Great App
The app works great. Easy to use and adjust lists. It would be truly great if it would work between devices like tablet to phone.
Nifty!
Now I won’t forget to pick up butter or tortillas or milk!
It even allows me to specialize the items that I get, so I can itemize caramel macchiato coffee creamer and halfcalf coffee.
However when the app prompts me to review it it brings up a different app.

Wish they had more through instructions
The instructions on how to add or delete (mostly add) are lacking to say the least. It is a better alternative than adding an item to my calendar which just clogs it up. Better alternative but not a particularly great app. None the less it is useful.
App
Convenient
Stay simple
I agree with an earlier reviewer. It may fill some niche, but just stick with the Notes app on your phone and you’ll be fine.
Glad I Got It When It was Free
I’d have been kinda mad if I paid for this. It was featured on the free apps a while back. Figured it might be better than notes app, but it’s not. It’s clunky and tedious. I just much prefer using the notes app. And it’s free
Cannot say anything negative...
Cannot say anything negative about the app. I've tried a few and this so far the best. I did asked for an additional feature that another app had. Moving items from one list to another.
Worst app ever.
All this is is a glorified notepad. Save yourself the time and didn't download it.
Crash, Crash, Crash
Downloaded the ap, started a list, got halfway done. CRASH. Reopen, everything lost, start over. CRASH. Data lost again. Really?
Not seeing a need for this. If I have to type in “milk” to pull up milk, why not just type it in the notes ap and save the redundancy and Incessant crashes? Seems a fancy way to make a simple thing take longer than it should.
1 star for an ap that simply doesn’t work. Even if it did, notes seems far, far more efficient.
I’m on the latest iPad Pro fully up to date. Same experience on my iPhone 8 also up to date.

Seriously, be patient
Continuously prompted to review the 1st time using the app. Let me test it a reasonable amount of time before bombarding me with the prompts.
Crashes a lot, tedious to add items
Bottom line:
just use your built-in notes app.
To simply add something to a list, you must go through a rigamarole of picking your item from some pre-defined category. When, of course, your item is not in one of those categories (or in the wrong one), you have to put it in some category. Can’t be left alone or it gets lonely, apparently. And then when you type in an item and it is mistaken for something else, you CAN’T put it in ANY category directly. You have to edit the categories then add your item that way. How hard should be to type in an item you want on a list? I guess the developers of this app thought it would be more useful as a game you can’t win.

Developer Response
"Thanks for the feedback and the one star. We give you the ability to add in any category you want. 🙄"
hmmm 🤔 nice to hear that categories can be “added in”. Rather than ‘Attitude’ a little instruction would have been helpful and, yes, warranted a rating update. Seriously 😳

Okay but clunky
I've been using this app for some time, so am writing from experience.
In general, the app is okay... but often involves too much work.
1. It forces you to add items to categories.
2. After you add an item, you have to select it again to actually add it to your list.
3. Items in lists are not ordered, making it difficult to find an item you've purchased before and want to purchase again.
4. It sometimes won't let you add an item if one that shares a first word is already taken.
I'm looking for a replacement app.

Works well
Once you understand how to work app, its easy to add your own items. I currently use notepad for my grocery list and have sometimes deleted too much when deleting items I have picked up. This app fixes that.
Nag attack
Constantly asks to allow notification and for a review.
Finally, an Intuitive Shopping/Grocery List App
Despite the other person’s review exclaiming you can’t delete things, you can - just swipe left, like you do in most iOS apps.
The app is pre-populated with many categories, each containing a few examples of items. You can easily add your own items under the preloaded Categories, and you have the ability to add your own Categories, as well as items obviously.
Lastly, what’s really useful, is the ability to create multiple lists, so you can have one for your weekly staples, others for specific recipes or meal plans, plus you can sort them alphabetically and an added bonus, they’re exportable/shareable using the traditional iOS Share functionality.
Industrious users will soon realise that the app can be used for many other lists you may want/need to create, not just your grocery/shopping lists — admittedly with some erroneous data, such as “Quantity Required” but you can work around that.
Not sure what/where the in-app purchase is, but I don’t think you’ll need it. Finally, there’s no infuriating on-going subscription required to use the app – my new pet hate from greedy developers, along with website paywalls, but that’s a whole nother argument/discussion.
