### 5/5 — Money saver

*2026-03-12, version 5.5*

You walk into a grocery store without a list and you have lost. I can list the ingredients of the recipes, do inventory in my closet and check off the things I don’t need. The resultant list is a shopping list of needs. This has saved me money and allows me to stay on my diet. Impulse buying is kept to a minimum. If it is not on the list it cannot be purchased.
The money I save will pay for my new wardrobe.

### 1/5 — No update in TWO YEARS

*2025-05-17, version 5.5*

This used to be a great app. The iCloud backup is now wonky and when working between two devices, will overwrite the newest list with the older one. Can no longer recommend.

### 5/5 — Simple and effective

*2025-04-11, version 5.5*

I love this app. It’s simple, aesthetically pleasing to look at, & you can easily make a new similar list from a previously used list. I love the alert feature as well and the preset categories which usually has about 90% of the things I was going to put in my list anyway, and some ideas that I didn’t think about that I can use. I highly recommend trying it

### 4/5 — Must have

*2025-01-08, version 5.5*

This is my go to app for creating my shopping list. I love how I can put things in categories then I order the categories according to the layout of the grocery store. I have different shopping lists based on the store I’m going to. For example, I have a Costco list that is different than my regular weekly shopping list. My only wish is that in the print option there was no heading at the top. It takes up way too much room of the paper which makes my printed list more pages, than it needs to be.

### 5/5 — THE BEST!

*2024-05-08, version 5.5*

I never stop being grateful for this incredible app!
From making my life so much easier, to not having to write out paper lists and being super-organised in its database that simplifies my shopping, I am one happy chickadee. 
It really is the top of the list when it comes to grocery apps. 
And (dont tell anyone) but this app is one of the main reasons I purchased an iphone… they are good, but this app is brilliant. Thanks so much to its designer!

### 4/5 — Love It But Has One Annoying Issue

*2024-02-23, version 5.5*

I pretty much like everything about this App, however, there is one thing that drives me crazy. When in the grocery store shopping with list in hand, I find that even with the slightest movement the App jumps screens all the time. I have to stop, press back arrows to get back to my list, but then it happens again and again. It seems that it could be tweaked so that it’s less susceptible to movements. Other than that, it’s perfect!

### 3/5 — Don’t Email…They don’t respond

*2023-08-13, version 5.5*

I do like the app except for 1 thing…a badge number does not show up on the app. 
I’ve emailed 2x with no response whatsoever.
I have all settings correct in phone with latest iOS plus settings correct in app with latest update.

I’m not sure why there is no badge showing up on my icon when I have 11 items in 1 of my lists and I can’t seem to get answer from app developer. Other than that it is a great app but it could be better.

### 3/5 — Not great

*2023-06-24, version 5.5*

Complicated learning curve. So many details that are not easy to get the first time nor remember for the times after. If I stuck with it I may have found it great. But life is short. I’m angry that I had to pay for it before I could try it. I thought $3.99 is not so much. It is when you don’t even get to use it once.

### 5/5 — Best Apple have used

*2023-05-27, version 5.5*

This app is so flexible the whole family uses it. You can add take off do whatever you want and share with your family. If you need a good app this is the one to buy

### 4/5 — software good！ Why not add Chinese?

*2023-05-13*

Why not add Chinese?
