## What is OurList?

How do you keep track of your shopping list? Notepad? iMessage history with your family? What if crazy Uncle Jack already picked up all the drinks for the party tonight and you didn't see the message in the group chat?

Lists don't have to be hard, confusing, or time-consuming. They can be simple and beautiful - and just work. It shouldn't matter if you're just keeping track of your own to-dos, or planning a getaway using a shared list with your family and friends. 

OurList is the easiest way to create and manage lists between as many people as you like. Add or finish todo's in a shared list, and everyone else will see the updates in real-time. 

------
Ever go to the grocery store with your family? Mom probably has the list, and she's trying to delegate tasks to everyone. Billy forgot the ketchup and dad got distracted in the beer aisle. Everybody regroups to an angry mom and an empty cart. 

If everyone had OurList, you can all see the same list no matter where you are in the store! Once dad tracks down the quinoa, he can cross it off the list, and mom will see the update immediately over in aisle 4. 
------

OurList is great for your own lists too! Keep shared lists separate from your personal lists to safely keep track of birthday gift ideas for your loved ones. A new idea cross your mind? Simple gestures make adding items to OurList a breeze. The less time you spend in the app, the better!

------
Planning a vacation with your friends? Everyone needs different things from the store, and the group chat is moving at a thousand miles an hour. Hopefully one of you is keeping track! In a google doc maybe? Bleh. Nobody wants to deal with that. 

Get everyone working on the same list to add new items and ideas as you think of them. Make sure everyone gets what they want and nothing is left behind. 
------

Sharing lists is as easy as sending your family and friends a link. No codes or confirmations or 2 factor authentications. You're not trying to defend the missile silos, just trying to share your grocery list.

OurList has a simple, fast sign-up process, which keeps all your lists synced and backed up to your personal account. That way, if anything ever happens to your phone (your little brother decides to bowl with it at the grocery store), your lists will always be accessible.

---

OurList is a simple, no-frills list app with easy sharing and even easier list management. Don't get bogged down with notes, messages, or clunky apps. Use OurList to tackle your own tasks or conquer the grocery store together.

Lists just got a whole lot better.

### 1/5 — Not upgraded for new iOS

*2025-11-04, version 2.2.2*

I’ve used this app for several years and have been really happy with it. That is until I got a new iPhone and the iOS updates to v26.01. Now it won’t even open. It’s unusable on the new iOS and they haven’t updated the app in a year.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2025-06-04, version 2.2.2*

I love this app. I use it for everything from groceries and vacation packing lists to job-site to-do lists. Here are two suggestions for improvements:

A) Allow the original creator of a list to remove shared list members. As someone who uses this for work, I should be able to remove former employees or people who simply aren’t in this project anymore. 

B) Alerts?!?? I should able to activate alerts on a list-by-list basis so that I know whenever another list member makes a change. I’d like to know when my wife adds something to the shopping list. I don’t just open it every day on my way home. I have up to 30 lists at a time. Knowing when something is updated is critical to this being a power app.

### 5/5 — So good!

*2025-02-07, version 2.2.2*

This app is exactly what we need for our family. Having teenagers and picky eaters, everyone can now add what they want or need to the shopping list 🙌

### 5/5 — Best family list

*2024-11-18, version 2.2.2*

Best list for family planning!

### 5/5 — Best List App - Easy to use!

*2024-06-08, version 2.2.2*

My husband and I have been using this app for over a year and it helps us so much especially because we work opposite schedules. So if one of us is running to the grocery store, we can just toss something on the list without having to track eachother down to talk about it!

### 5/5 — Great app for two

*2024-03-06, version 2.2.1*

My wife and I live in this app. It works to keep our lists updated instantly, helping us cover the purchase of our needs in real time. This helps when she thinks of something for the list and I’m getting in line to checkout. BAM! I can get it. Of course, that also works if you’re having a fight and wanna irritate your partner a bit. BAM! They can get it. Then wait about four minutes and BAM! They can get that now. And then BAM…well you get the idea. 😁

### 4/5 — Great app, been using for years- just one thing

*2024-03-01, version 2.2.1*

In the comments on the items, I wish you could either copy and paste what was written, or just have working links. It would make the app even more useful. :)) Thank you ooo also you should add sections to the lists. So like if it’s a grocery list there’s a dairy section and a fresh produce section and stuff

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2024-02-05, version 2.2.1*

This app is actually really useful and I like how you can choose how much to pay for the premium, and I love how they listen to your suggestions

### 5/5 — Great App! Great Customer Service!

*2024-01-02, version 2.2.1*

I love this app! I use it daily. Had a question, response time was quick and very helpful! Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Best List App Ever!

*2023-10-08*

We LOVE this app!  My husband and I use it all the time.  Anytime we think of something we need at the store, we update it and the other one sees it immediately.  So whoever stops off at the store, has the most updated list!  And as soon as the item is purchased, you swipe and it’s deleted off our list. Plus it is great for many other lists!  We’ve used it for vacations, “honey do” lists, things to not forget (among other needs). The developers of the app are amazing as well.  I asked about a fun Halloween theme for backgrounds and they actually messaged me back about it!  Fast forward several months from our initial conversation and they reached back out to let me know the Halloween theme just dropped and that they were working on other holiday themes.  Cannot say enough about this app and the developers!  Awesome job and Happy Halloween!
