At first I just deleted them off but now that it’s still happening, it makes me wonder, whose list is being added to mine..? **Developer response:** Hello. There are ads running on top the list screen. Most likely, accidental clicks on the ads is the reason for this problem. Just be careful not to accidentally click the ads and this problem should go away. Hope this helps. Thanks and have a great rest of the week! ### 1/5 — Ads are obnoxious *2025-10-27, version 2.24* Too many ads on that are hard to close I’ll have to delete this and use something else ### 1/5 — Have to watch ad to access list *2025-09-23* Used to like this pretty well, it’s no better than a sheet of paper, but convenient to have on phone. Unfortunately, you now have to watch a long preview of a game every time you want to use it. You can’t x out until the meter is done running. I’ll be changing apps soon! **Developer response:** Hello. Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback. It's very much appreciated. Your comment has been forwarded to our dev team to help improve the app. Have a great rest of the week! ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2025-09-07* I like that you can separate your list by stores. But come on now. Every time you open the app to put something on your list YOU GET ADS!!! that takes up more of my time than I want. My recommendation .. don’t bother ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-08-07* Looked good. Started making a list. Needed to change the name so went back and immediately hit with an unskippable ad. I close the app before that even finished. Less than 30 seconds into the app. Automatic 1 star. ### 1/5 — Long ads that keep you for your lists *2025-07-30* I liked this just fine. I just want to make a list, I don’t need it to shop or organize. Unfortunately, lately it takes about a minute to access the app. It shows two games and you have to watch the ads entirely before you can exit out. **Developer response:** Hello. Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback. It's very much appreciated. Your comment has been forwarded to our dev team to help improve the app. Have a great rest of the week! ### 3/5 — No cloud sync *2025-07-18, version 2.21* In the Android version there is a cloud sync option. My wife and I used this on our old android phones to share lists between our devices. No such option in the iOS version … sigh. Sharing between devices even when not near the other device was much better than texting lists to the other device. Otherwise good app. Will probably continue using it on iOS despite the lack of cloud sync. ### 2/5 — Payment Required on Android and Apple *2025-07-09, version 2.19* I paid for app on Android. Apple requires me to pay again to remove ads. It will not let me login. I’m not paying twice. ### 1/5 — non stoppable ad for some other type of app. *2025-07-01, version 2.19* keep greeting an ad for some app to go hiking. could not get rid of the pop up and fill in the shopping list . going to dump the app now. ### 1/5 — Okay app too many ads *2025-06-18, version 2.19* Got the app to quickly jot down items/ideas. App has so many ads you forget why you opened it! ### 2/5 — Very basic *2025-03-20* This is a very basic shopping list app with few features. Sorting is a pain. When you check an item off the list it does not drop down/off, it stays in place, and you have to scroll through the whole entire list for needed items. With a few clicks, you can sort checked items to the bottom, but it is a manual process, not automatic. I use this app for two days before finding a much better app. ### 3/5 — Easy to use and free *2024-12-31* This app is super easy to use. However, you cant edit items or ad quantities. You cant delete or edit the names of lists so if you create more than one list or misspell something, you’re stuck with them whether you use them or not. **Developer response:** Hello. Swipe the row left to see a button to edit an item or list name. Have a great rest of the week! ### 2/5 — Ease of use *2024-12-08* It has a few basic functions that work if you only want to do what they want you to do. Cannot figure out a way to customize things or rename an existing list without deleting it and starting over from scratch. **Developer response:** Hello. Please try sliding your finger left on a list name or list item. This will reveal additional functionality that you can use to edit or delete an item or list name. Thanks and Happy Holidays! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Beware *2026-06-13, version 2.30* Went to use the app and the first thing that popped up was a your phone has been hacked down load this app,. So beware.deleted the app way to much garbage adds pop ups and questionable content that they said was an accident and shouldn’t have happened, garbage ### 1/5 — Functional but *2026-06-01, version 2.30* Spamming games with gatekeeping makes it not worth the download especially when the close icon is disabled ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-05-23, version 2.30* Beware. There’s a red pop-up that says something about you’ve been hacked and we know you’ve been looking at porn sites (ridiculous). Don’t download this and don’t click on anything if you do. ### 1/5 — Hate this grocery app *2026-05-15* So many ads and they happen when you need to look at your list the most … some take a long time to finish before it stops so you can look at you list… or many times I had to turn my fone completely off and turn it back on so I could get past one of there ads cuz there were no “X “ to stop the ad…. If you like getting frustrated this app is for you… **Developer response:** Hello. Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback. Ads should be closable. Your comment has been forwarded to our development team to look for any bugs that may prevent ads from being closed. Hopefully the bug will be found and fixed soon. Have a great weekend! ### 1/5 — Ad suddenly *2026-05-14, version 2.30* I would have given you five stars yesterday. I can’t use it anymore because it flashes something about new benefits for seniors. I can’t delete it. It’s updated. I don’t have access to it anymore. ### 1/5 — Have to watch ad to access list *2026-01-29* Used to like this pretty well, it’s no better than a sheet of paper, but convenient to have on phone. Unfortunately, you now have to watch a long preview of a game every time you want to use it. You can’t x out until the meter is done running. Unfortunately, the latest apps they are using for click bait is one that says I’ve been hacked and need to download their app. I don’t appreciate a legit app pushing me to take bad apps. **Developer response:** Hello. Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback. It's very much appreciated. We are going to find the ad and block it. We don't want such ads in our app. Also, your comment has been forwarded to our dev team to help improve the app. Have a great rest of the weekend! ### 1/5 — Simple but not easy *2026-01-19* I started out living this app and now I am so so sick of it. Any time I open it to start a list ads appear that won’t let you on the app. In the beginning you could close the app and continue your list but no more . I would recommend never downloading this one. It’s less problematic to just write your list on scrap paper. **Developer response:** Hello. Ads should always be closable. Sometimes, it takes a few seconds before the option to close appears. Also, ads can be removed with a subscription. Please click on the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner of the first screen to see price in local currency. Your feedback has been forwarded to our dev team to help improve the app. Have a great rest of the week! ### 1/5 — Dirty adds *2026-01-09, version 2.25* Dirty adds, I had to delete and was no longer able to keep the app due to nudity and very dirty pictures popping on for adds ### 1/5 — Scam ad pop up freezes phone *2025-12-10* I used to like this app until an ad started showing up that takes up the whole screen, freezes your phone, and sounds an alarm like a fire alarm going off. (It says “storage full”). Only way to stop it is to turn your phone off. So I stopped using this app and just downloaded a different list app. Can’t imagine why the developers are doing that kind of ad, no quicker way to get rid of a user. **Developer response:** Hi. Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback. Ads in our app are provided by a third party and should be pre-screened but looks like one got through. We don't want such ads in our app either. We will will look for it and block it permanently. Have a great weekend! ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-12-02, version 2.25* For 99¢ a month, you get a shopping list that won’t give you ads. 99¢ A MONTH. You need to subscribe to make a shopping list. What a joke. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Shopping List Ann *2026-05-03, version 2.30* I love it! Very easy to use too ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-01-18* I use this app for just about everything? not just a shopping list. I use it as a medication list. I use it for recipes I use it as a checklist for my to-do list. I use it for any discussions that I need to make notes like a doctor's visit. where you don't want to forget a minor detail. It's so useful and so much easier than having a slip of paper. ### 5/5 — Very nice app *2025-01-10* 10/10 best app ever I use it every day I don’t know what I would do without this app I recommend it to absolutely everyone it is the most perfect app you would ever be able to find. No glitches or lags completely smooth running and wonderful ### 5/5 — Ease of access *2024-01-29* This app is so helpful! Find all that it is capable of! Enjoy this totally! Thanks! **Developer response:** Hello. Thanks for taking the time to write a review. It's very much appreciated. Have a great day! ### 5/5 — Great! *2023-10-29, version 2.5* Simple & easy! No waste of time! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2023-07-04, version 2.1* Everything I need in one place. Nicely done. ### 4/5 — Definitely helpful but *2026-06-25* I definitely gave found this app helpful! It’s minimalist , easy to use and fully functional. I use to keep track of all the grocery and stores where I can get the best deals on their specials and coupons so I know what to get where. It is a life saver for smarter shopping. That said, to remove ads you only have subscription options. That’s a shame. I would pay a one-time price to remove ads but $10/month to remove ads? No. No. **Developer response:** Hello. Thanks for taking time to write a review, it's appreciated. Somehow, you read the subscription price incorrectly. It's only $0.99/month or $10/year. Also your request to have a one time purchase option has been forwarded to our development team. Have a great weekend! ### 4/5 — It’s okay but—— *2026-01-14* I like the app, it’s nice to have several different lists in one place. It works well, but the advertising is incredibly annoying and intrusive. ### 4/5 — Awesome..... but *2025-07-15* I love the simplicity of this app,nothing overly fancy. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because it won't sync across devices. **Developer response:** Hello. Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback. It's appreciated. Your comment has been forwarded to our dev team to help improve the app. Have a great weekend! ### 4/5 — One error *2023-12-18* It would be nice if the lists were shared across devices. Lacking that being able to share a list between devices by sending from one device to the other. **Developer response:** Hello. Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback, it's appreciated. We have forwarded your comment to our development team. Have a great rest of the week! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
