I don't need notifications, bar code reader, recipe box, etc. I just want to add my stuff, check it off, and then delete it. This is perfect! 3/10 I’m still using this app. I check off or delete my items that I purchased. For things I regularly buy, I uncheck them and they stay on my list. If I don’t need to purchase It I check it off before I go to the grocer. This app and the “To Do” app are some of my favorites. ### 5/5 — Best in its class *2019-01-07, version 1.1.4* If you are looking for a simple grocery list app that works very good all the time and never crashes, look no further. This is the best one I’ve used out of all the ones I tried. Highly recommend.!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No longer good *2021-02-01, version 1.2.2* No good the delete button is in wrong Place and scrolling deletes too many Item Please fix the BUG ### 1/5 — Worst ever *2019-05-13, version 1.1.5* After I create grocery lists now I can’t even access lists no more ???? It’s lost No way to save your grocery lists ???? Waste of time Deleting garbage app. Apple needs to be very careful of such trash app. ### 2/5 — Needs better protection from accidentally deleting items. *2025-08-23, version 1.4.0* The list maker is easy to use but also way too easy to delete items. If I accidentally touch an item, it disappears and I end up making more trips to the store because I didn’t get what I needed. Please add at least one more step to the deletion process. ### 3/5 — Simple to use, but has one fatal flaw *2021-06-02, version 1.2.3* Great tool at the market. My IPhone sits on the flat shelf in front of cart handle. The fatal flaw is, the phone does not timeout and lock at all, even if it’s not used, when the app is open. I am afraid someone may grab the phone if I turn my back to the cart while browsing the shelves. Since the phone stays unlocked, they have access to the phone now, as well as my bank account, credit card info, passwords, contacts etc..... I would hope the app can be updated to allow the phone to lock itself after a few minutes. ### 3/5 — Grocery List *2020-11-18, version 1.2.2* I like the app but you can’t share it with family. I wish you could fix that cause it’s simple to use plus I like the keyboard on it. Thanks ### 4/5 — Deleting *2023-07-29, version 1.3.2* I love this App but if you touch any of the items in your list by mistake, this App deletes them to easily and quick, so sometimes I don't buy what I had on the list because they were deleted. This App should have a lock on it so you can lock and unlock your list when you want to so your items on your list don't get deleted. ### 4/5 — What you buy grocery list With a green checkmark *2019-09-24, version 1.1.8* I really like this list, it’s the best I have seen since they did away with the slickshopper app. A lot of Apps cross out the name when you check, myself I like to put a check in the box of the things I want and uncheck as I put in shopping cart, but I wished it put the checked list at top instead of at the botton ### 5/5 — Perfect!! *2025-10-10, version 1.4.0* I have searched and searched for a app like this. Very easy to use and so simple. Couldn’t ask for anything better and easier than this app. Recommend!!! ### 5/5 — Perfect list maker *2023-04-15, version 1.2.9* First gave 4 stars for not having the option to update after “buy” step, but just learned from another review that there is that option!!! Just hold & drag to coordinate your list. 🤩 You really need to make this obvious in your app presentation because that was my only criticism for your app. So now 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s ### 5/5 — Grocery list *2022-11-04, version 1.2.8* So far I love this. Last night I found out that if you hold and drag the item you can keep like items together on your list so your not having to return back to another isle. For example: keep frozen items together; keep breads together; keep dairy together; keep produce together. Makes shopping faster. ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it! *2022-05-04, version 1.2.6* I’ve always been an avid list maker, but due to some recent health issues, I now need to keep lists because my memory isn’t up to par. This app solves my problem of having random lists in every room of the house and then forgetting about all the lists. I’ve always got my phone near me, so it’s much easier to just open it up and jot down what I need. I love that you can check stuff off and it doesn’t disappear - that way, I know I bought it because I have a record of checked it off. Another great part of that is if it’s a recurring purchase, like milk, bread, etc, and you forget to add it to your list, it’s already there and even though it’s grayed out, it helps jog my memory. Very minimal ads (just a slim banner on the bottom). Customization would be a bonus, but not really needed. I’d rather it stay basic with minimal ads and nonsense. ### 5/5 — Just what I wanted *2022-02-23, version 1.2.5* A simple app to make a grocery list with. No complicated steps of picking from lists and vendors. Just list what I want to remember to get and delete after I get it. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Simple and Very Useful *2020-10-02, version 1.2.2* Great App ### 5/5 — Dark Mode no show *2020-04-02, version 1.2.2* Since the update, can't see items that are not checked when in dark mode. Can see the items that are checked just fine. Fixed! Thank you! Nice simple app. It's all I need! ### 5/5 — Almost Perfect! *2020-03-14, version 1.1.8* This is exactly what I wanted from a Shopping List app. May I make a few suggestions? - Add the option to auto delete when an item is checked off. - Add an option to create separations in the list so I can separate items for different errands. - I would pay a few bucks to not see ads. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Favorite Grocery list app *2019-08-13, version 1.1.8* Best app for keeping a simple grocery list!!! ### 5/5 — Best Grocery List App *2019-03-26, version 1.1.5* It’s a nice a simple app that functions like the old fashioned grocery list you would write on a piece of paper. However unlike the paper that we all forget at home, it is stored safely in your phone that is always by your side. This by far is my favorite grocery list app, and I don’t want to admit how many I have tried.
