Garbage
Used to be great but now it’s just absolute worthless trash. Nothing works. Paid version cannot be restored either. Should be removed from Apple App Store immediately.
Good but needs improvement
I would give it 5 stars if there was a way to include quantity of each item or another comment.

Won't open, lists lost
I had several lists I had created, such as a very important list of needed items for my business. When I went to the store to shop for these listed items the app wouldn't open! It just kept crashing! I stood in the store with a blank stare on my face, I had no idea what I needed without having the list in front of me! This seriously affected the success of my business and set me back by a week. And weeks later still will not open whatsoever. I will never trust this app again. I don't know what I should do, delete it? Reinstall it? I really don't know. It had ONE JOB to do! No offense to the creators, I appreciate their work… But I can't help but say, what a useless app!

not to my liking
I want to add something as I think about it - not a new list each time I open the App.
it would be nice to have list for different stores
I shop at during the week —

No help from customer service!
I have messaged customer service twice with no response! Could not share original purchase so my husband mistakenly paid for a second app. Now neither seems to work properly. Total of $3.98 wasted with nothing to show for it!
Best in Class
I did a ridiculous amount of research on which grocery app I wanted to replace my Grocery IQ app with, and this one is by far the best. The UI is intuitive and enables you to quickly make lists and use them. You can even keep items for specific stores (like the favorites section of Grocery IQ) so you can check the stock of all your usual items at home while making your list.
It also syncs to my watch and now shopping is almost too easy. (I even pay with my watch when I check out!)
I've emailed the devs to ask about features and they've written back every time within a few hours.
Put all this together and you have a game-changer. I haven't been this excited about an app since my brand new iPhone 3G debuted a new iOS feature called the 'App Store.'

Hi, Please email us (contact@idealistshopping.com) to solve the issues. This will be more productive and we'll be able to get a detailed explanation. The app is working for 40000 other users. Thanks a lot!
Really enjoying the app
This has been a great upgrade and an ingenious interface for making grocery lists in particular. Worth the price for upgrade.
Where has this app been all my (iPhone) life?
I ran across this app when looking for a shopping list app I can use on my Apple Watch. I am so sorry it took me this long to find it. I updated almost immediately to the paid version, because being able to sync across devices and share lists with my SO is worth it. I love this app and use it all the time. 1.99 is a small price to pay for this amount of organization. It really simplifies my life on the phone and watch. Love it.

Liked it a lot, but now. Not.
Was wonderful but now in a hurry to go shopping like many others and can't add an item without upgrading because I need to add a category.
Deleting and finding another app to save time in the future. Yes, the paid version is only $1.99, but then don't offer the free version and tie someone else up later.
Only taking time to post a review because perhaps other people may appreciate this and would like to save time or would like to just buy the paid version ahead of time.
Developers: Please warn user ahead of time that they can't add items to a list without upgrading. Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback. However, the app's description on the App Store specifically states that the free version (without the upgrade) is limited to a single list with up to 20 items. This is our way to give an opportunity to see if you like the app and get the upgrade if it really fits your needs. Have a good day!
Good grocery app
Easy, simple, get things done!
Very useful
I created several lists. I use one as a menu and the others for the grocery lists. I wish the list had the ability to use multiple words on one line. Very useful list.
Response from developer
Thanks a lot for using Idealist and for the great review. We'd love to hear from you about the feature you're looking for. Please email us (contact@idealistshopping.com) so that we can discuss this. Thanks!
Great app!
Having tried many shopping apps....this one is definitely my favorite! Thanks, and keep it up!
!!
Whoever came up with this app! Best grocery app by far I love the many categories stuff is already broken into and being able to customize it all is always good
Love this app - easy, fast
Dependable, reliable syncing and doesn't cost an arm and a leg!
Update
I keep getting messages that the app is slowing things down and needs to be upgraded. I love the app and hope it will get the attention it needs.
Fresh and unique
This shopping list has a very unique and creative UI.
The sharing feature is very convenient, no need to create an account, just send a link and the list is shared.

Elegant design focused on speed!
Most grocery apps are loaded with "features" that get in the way of the primary purpose of such an app - quick entry of items, and efficient checking off of purchased items. This app has the fastest item entry - via typing or voice - of any app I have tried.
And the developers were really thinking outside the box when they came up with a color-coding scheme for categories (like produce) rather than the usual text-based labelling system. This approach, combined with putting as many items as possible on a given line, means I can see around 20 items on my phone at a time (instead of 5-8 on most other apps) which makes shopping quicker. Oh yeah, and they have a nice Watch companion app which allows you to shop without even pulling out your phone from your pocket or purse.
Sync works well too - so my wife and I can share our lists.
