### 4/5 — Potentially perfect

*2026-05-20*

But not vegan friendly. No way to remove meat and dairy products from search.

### 1/5 — Love the app until…

*2024-04-28*

Have been using the app and loving until this free app posted that without paying for premium I could only have 10 items in my shopping list.  I don’t advertise for free if in fact you are planning to switch it up after you get people used to your software!

### 4/5 — When it works, it is GREAT

*2024-01-23*

Half of the time I open the app on my iPhone to write a new item in, the suggestions won’t load. When they do load, this is my favourite grocery listing app.

### 5/5 — Really good but…actually, really good

*2023-07-20*

I love this app and it is what I’ve been searching for. It is fairly intuitive and makes shopping a breeze by organizing the items in the department they belong to. Sometimes it doesn’t contain the item so it puts it in a category called My Items. If I have an item in the category it belongs to, I can long press the “my item” and drag it to the proper category. I would love to be able to edit that item to remember it’s new category. Also, occasionally an item will be miscategorized. For instance, watermelon is somehow a meat. :) Cantaloupe is not categorized at all.   

Regardless, this app is so wonderful. No more running back and forth from this department to that department. I can get in and out of the store faster because I always am in a rush to cook dinner!

I can’t complain. Thanks for this app.

### 5/5 — Really Nice

*2021-12-24*

I can’t wait to check it out. I’m a fan of Filibaba’s work and I trust them with my data and time

**Developer response:** We’re happy to hear that! We hope you enjoy Handla 💛

### 3/5 — Missed Opportunity

*2021-11-18, version 1.0.2*

Would be a great app if you could share your lists with others. 👎🏻

**Developer response:** Thank you for trying Handla! Sharing with other users is in the works, and coming in an update. So be on the lookout for that and be sure to revisit your rating then ☺️ Best, Max

### 5/5 — It just works. Good app.

*2021-10-28*

Does what it promises. Not more, not less. Overall great.

**Developer response:** Glad to hear that it’s working for you! Best, Max
