## What is pon?

pon is the smart shopping list that learns as you shop and makes everyday grocery runs easy — entirely on your device.

What pon offers at a glance:
- pon remembers products, package sizes, stores and prices — and fills everything in for you
- Automatic smart sorting: your items in the order of your supermarket
- Push reminder when you approach a store with open items on your list (geofence)
- Dictate instead of typing: just say what you need — speech recognition runs entirely on device
- Automatic pantry overview: pon learns what you have at home and when it's running low
- Reminders before fresh food expires — use it up instead of throwing it away
- Hints when a purchase is due again — learned from your buying rhythm
- Manage and edit shopping lists together
- Automatic notification to list members when you go shopping
- Sync across as many devices as you like — iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch
- Loyalty cards always at hand — pon reminds you at checkout
- Barcode scanner, prices & offers, custom items with photos
- Widget and Live Activity for the current shopping trip
- Extensive product database in 12 languages
- Works offline
- No external tracking, no ads, no subscription — completely free

Imagine you're on your way home and get a push notification the very moment you pass your supermarket: you're out of milk. Your partner put it on your shared list — pon reminds you automatically at just the right time.

pon learns with every purchase: which products you buy, in which package size, at which store and at what price. Next time, everything is already filled in. From your buying rhythm, pon even recognizes when something is due again, what's running low and what you should use up soon — and suggests it at the right time. All of this happens exclusively on your device.

Fill your list without typing: just dictate — "2 packs of milk, 10 eggs and coffee" — and pon recognizes products, amounts and attributes. Works with Siri too. Nothing leaves your iPhone.

Your lists sort themselves in the order you checked things off during your last trips — after a short while everything is pre-sorted just like the aisles in your supermarket. Maintaining categories is a thing of the past!

Share your shopping list with family, friends or colleagues and keep track together. Whoever goes shopping can notify the others automatically — no more "honey, do we need anything?" calls.

Pick your products from an extensive database or create your own — with attributes like "organic" or "lactose-free", photos, prices and offer prices. The built-in barcode scanner saves you from creating new products by hand: scan, pick the amount, done.

With the Apple Watch app your shopping list is always on your wrist, leaving a hand free while you shop — right on your watch face if you like.

We don't use external tracking or analytics tools. Everything pon learns about your shopping stays on your device and is none of our business — promise.

Got ideas, suggestions or wishes to make pon even better? Let us know — we love feedback.

pon is smart, learns with you and best of all: completely free.

### 4/5 — Eine schöne App mit einer negativen Tendenz

*2026-08-21*

Was ich an dieser App mag, das ist das simple Bedienen. Es gab nur eine einzige Kleinigkeit, die ich mir gewünscht hätte. Gut finde ich die Bildschirmausnutzung auf dem iPad. Auch die Ankopplung an Siri ist der richtige Weg. Die neue Version folgt andererseits derselben Tendenz wie so viele Apps - sie neigt zum Überladen und wird ggf. daran ersticken. Funktionen, die ich nicht brauche, Statistiken, die mir nicht helfen, dann "intelligente" Ratschläge, was ich wohl wieder brauchen würde. Ich koche, worauf wir gerade Appetit haben. Das kann mal drei Tage hintereinander das gleiche Frühstück sein und dann für Monate nicht mehr. Diese Extrapolation funktioniert nie, aber ich werde darauf hingewiesen, was ich kaufen soll, während ich denke "Bah, die nächste Zeit sicher nicht mehr.". Ich kenne auch niemanden, der das braucht. Wozu denn? Etwas geht zur Neige - ab in die Liste. Erinnerung an die Bonuskarte??? Bitte nicht. Jede, wirklich jede Kassiererin fragt danach, dann auch noch in der App? Aber Features sind ja okay - so lange man sie abschalten kann. Und genau das fehlt mir an vielen Stellen.

### 5/5 — Hands down the best shopping app

*2026-03-29*

It is easy to use, has a great barcode scanner, helps you to add specials and sale items.  Prices, quantities, works on multiple devices at the same time … it remembers things you bought and it is free ! Though a support is welcome and well deserved

### 5/5 — Sehr gute Einkaufsliste

*2026-02-22, version 2.4.1*

Wir nutzen diese App seit vielen Jahren permanent. Jeder im Haushalt kann sie nach Bedarf füllen, und das gleich von mehreren Geräten aus. Der Einkaufende ist selbst beim Einkauf immer auf dem aktuellen Stand und kann sofort auf neue Einträge reagieren. Im Gegenzug bekommt jeder mit der Liste verknüpfte auch sofort jede Aktualisierung angezeigt. Der automatische Sortiermodus funktioniert ebenfalls einwandfrei. Ich habe mehrere Apps ausprobiert und bin aus Überzeugung bei Pon hängen geblieben. Für eine kostenlose App absolut perfekt. Deshalb, finde ich, darf man ruhig ab und zu eine kleine Spende tätigen. Weiter so.

### 5/5 — Beste Einkaufsliste

*2026-01-27*

Nach Jahren des Ausprobierens verschiedener Einkaufslisten-Apps bin ich bei App Pon hängengeblieben – und das will was heißen.
Was mich überzeugt hat: Die App macht genau das, was sie soll, ohne unnötigen Schnickschnack. Sie ist intuitiv, schnell und zuverlässig. Kein Registrierungszwang, keine aufdringliche Werbung, keine versteckten Abo-Fallen.
Die Bedienung geht so flüssig von der Hand, dass das Erstellen und Abhaken der Einkaufsliste tatsächlich Spaß macht. Selbst im stressigen Supermarkt-Alltag funktioniert alles reibungslos.
Ich war so zufrieden, dass ich freiwillig gespendet habe – bei mir eine absolute Seltenheit. Apps, die respektvoll mit ihren Nutzern umgehen und einfach gut gemacht sind, verdienen Unterstützung.
Klare Empfehlung für alle, die eine unkomplizierte, durchdachte Einkaufsliste suchen!

### 5/5 — Super app

*2025-08-02, version 2.4*

By far the very best shopping app I have ever used. Very easy to use. Lots of different possibilities that I haven’t yet explored but looking forward to discovering.

### 3/5 — Finally a privacy respecting smart shopping list!

*2025-06-29*

Had to search the bowels of the internet to find this but now that I have I am very happy with it.

### 5/5 — Exzellente Einkaufsliste

*2025-05-24, version 2.4*

Hatte bis vor kurzem eine andere Einkaufsliste. Nachdem diese aufgrund eines Handywechsels nicht mehr funktionierte, suchte ich eine andere mit ähnlichen Funktionen und fand pon. Sie ist viel komfortabler als die alte und bietet mehr Funktionen. Bin sehr zufrieden und habe auch schon dem Entwickler einen kleinen Obolus gezahlt, obwohl die App sogar kostenlos genutzt werden kann.

### 5/5 — Super EinkaufsApp

*2025-04-27*

Nach langer Suche und nachdem ich schon viele EinkaufsApps ausprobiert habe, bin ich zum Glück auf PON gestoßen.
Ich kann berichten, dass ich total begeistert bin, weil die App sehr einfach zu bedienen ist. Vor allem ist sie sehr übersichtlich und was mir besonders gut gefällt, es wurde daran gedacht, zu den Einkaufsprodukten noch zusätzliche Eigenschaften zur Auswahl anzubieten. 
Super ist auch die Übertragung vom IPhone auf die Apple Whatch, so dass ich beim Einkaufen jetzt die Hände frei habe. Ich brauche ja nur noch meine Einkaufsliste auf meiner Apple Whatch aufzurufen. Und dort werden alle Artikel auf meiner Liste sehr gut lesbar, das heißt, in guter Größe angezeigt, was bei anderen Anbietern bisher noch nie so gut lesbar war.
Alles in allem kann ich nur noch einmal bestätigen, für mich ist PON die beste EinkaufsApp, die ich bisher gesehen habe und kann sie absolut weiterempfehlen!!

### 5/5 — Beste Einkaufsapp

*2025-04-10, version 2.3*

Mit dieser App geht wirklich alles, man kann verschiedene Listen führen, innerhalb dieser über Regale den Einkauf im konkreten Geschäft strukturieren oder dies smart durch die App erledigen lassen. Man kann Fotos zufügen, Eigenschaften der Produkte selbst festlegen, Mindesthaltbarkeitsdaten eingeben, sich erinnern lassen, automatisch regelmäßig Benötigtes wieder auf die Liste setzen lassen usw. Wir führen nun je eine Baumarkt-(darin dann Regale für Werkzeug, Garten für Produkte, die es in jedem Baumarkt gibt und Hagebau, Bauhaus usw für Artikel, die es nur dort gibt), Apotheken, Drogerie, Supermarktliste und auch eine Party-, Weihnachts-, Ostereinkaufsliste. Echt perfekt - und kostenlos!

### 5/5 — Verdammt gut!

*2025-03-02, version 2.3*

Also wir haben vor mehreren Jahren mehrere Apps ausprobiert. Immer über mehrere Tage hinweg. Bei dieser App sind wir hängen geblieben und nutzen sie bis heute. Sie ist einfach von der Bedienung, dennoch sollte man sich am Anfang 15 Minuten Zeit nehmen um sie zu verstehen. 

Wir sind erstaunt, wie gut das alles funktioniert. Mit dem automatischen Lernen, in welcher Reihenfolge, in welchem Laden automatisch anhand des Standorts die Sachen angezeigt werden. Einfach der Hammer. Auch die Apple Watch App funktioniert reibungslos und einfach.
