One thing I noticed is you can’t sort added categories alphabetically it just goes to the top of the list. Actually I don’t think anything sorts when you choose the option. *Update* I am able to manually sort categories by clicking edit and moving them around. Thanks for the response. ### 2/5 — Please help *2026-07-28, version 11.91* I REALLY like this app and have used it for years without any problems, however, today when I opened the app it automatically closed it wouldn’t stay open. I tried restarting my phone several times and the app has been updated. I don’t know what else to try next. Please help. I have important information saved on that app. Thank you. ### 3/5 — Pretty cool *2026-07-25, version 11.91* I like it so far. One thing I noticed is you can’t sort added categories alphabetically it just goes to the top of the list. Actually I don’t think anything sorts when you choose the option. ### 3/5 — Quantities Issue *2026-07-20, version 11.91* ShoppyList is generally a fine app, but it has one issue that creates problems for me. When I enter a quantity of an item for my shopping list, say 3 apples, it also enters that number as a quantity into the main product list. The result is that the next time I add apples to my shopping list, the quantity of 3 appears, even if I only want 1 apple this time. The desired quantity needs to be a list-only detail and not be automatically added to the main product list. Otherwise, this is a very useful app. ### 4/5 — Good enjoyed using *2026-04-29, version 11.91* Good app easy to use shame it’s not on android though as have moved to android ### 2/5 — Doesn’t sync *2026-02-19, version 11.9* I have space in the iCloud and yet the data won’t sync from one phone to another phone whilst they are connected, app says it’ll take a while though after an hour…….nothing ### 2/5 — Terrible App - sharing doesn’t work *2026-01-22, version 11.9* The “share” function doesn’t sync, creates double ups, needs to be constantly reset. Beware paid version of this app ### 5/5 — Great with one major flaw *2025-11-13, version 11.8* It took a while to figure out how to best use the app, having multiple ways to add products to stores and lists made it a bit confusing at first but I was able to figure out the best way for me to use it. It does everything I want and need from a basic shopping list, I don’t need recipes or photos or any of that for my needs it is a five star app. ### 5/5 — Works really well… *2025-11-07, version 11.8* We have Shoppylist on several family devices. Everything syncs through iCloud, so whoever’s shopping has an up to date list. Great app, thanks! ### 5/5 — So much more than just a shopping list *2025-11-03, version 11.8* This is my favourite check list making app. I use it for groceries but also for making lists for my workouts (really good to have a list of what to do next in my Apple Watch, that I can just check off as I go) games I want to try/buy, movies I want to see, deliveries I’m expecting, holiday packing lists. When I get bored and want to watch a movie or play a game I check these lists. When I pack for a trip I don’t forget bc I check off the list as I pack things. I think marketing it as a grocery app is probably limiting sales and vastly underestimating the uses of this app. It’s so good for loads of things. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-10-21, version 11.8* This has become a favorite shopping app. Two things I would like to see- (1) the ability to side swipe between shopping lists, (2) the ability to move items on purchased items instead of just being deleted. ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2025-10-08, version 11.6* I am so forgetful so this app is a great help. Can make your own categories and it is so easy to use. ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-09-13, version 11.6* I love this app and rely on it for all my shopping and reminders. I love that you can categorise different lists, so I can easily see at a glance what I need to buy from which shop. I also love how it has all the items stored that you have previously inputted so it’s easy to scroll and find what you need again. 10/10. Thank you! ### 4/5 — Good app *2025-08-09, version 11.5* Only suggestion I have that would improve this app would be the requirement to double tap an item to remove it from the list. Quite often I accidentally remove items unwittingly while I’m shopping because my phone is in my hand and an accidental touch of the screen removes a bunch of things from my list! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Very frustrating *2026-04-02, version 11.9* The list has stopped sharing so my partner and I keep double buying as it doesn’t update ### 1/5 — Become annoying *2026-01-20, version 11.9* After years of use this has become an annoying app with too regularly getting spammed to purchase the full version when the light version does all it needs to do. It holds text - don’t get a big head developer - not worthy of the asking price! ### 1/5 — Unable to share *2025-12-04, version 11.8* Can’t share list with wife except via sms. Very poor app ### 1/5 — Update deleted all my lists *2025-10-14, version 11.7* Been using this forever. Today I opened app and all my lists are gone except one. ### 1/5 — Premium *2025-08-22, version 11.5* I purchased the one time upgrade a long time ago. Now I can no longer share my list with my husband without him getting a popup for subscription services. Just to work just fine. No way to restore my previous purchase plus even if I wanted to do your extortion monthly services there is no option that comes up in my app. Used to be my goto and I used to recommend to others. No more. Will probably just use my notes app instead. ### 1/5 — Refund request *2025-08-21, version 11.5* I have installed and purchased a lifetime premium subscription. I have sent a link to my husband so we can share the list. However, the app keeps telling him to purchase a premium version as well. We have tried everything we can to fix this but it still doesn't work. ### 1/5 — Very frustrated *2025-04-30, version 11.1* A week ago, I would have given this app five stars. Over the last several days, the information in the app disappears seconds after I open the app. I have several lists stored in this app and have no way of accessing them now. I have checked everything online and Checked off all the boxes as far as resolutions are concerned. Nothing seems to work. ### 1/5 — Can’ use anymore *2025-03-12, version 11* They changed the format and made it completely useless for me. ### 1/5 — Somewhat lacklustre *2025-01-11, version 10.5* It’s a basic app. It’s a list, simple pre-built categories and emojis as the icons. That’s where it really just stops. You have to basically manually input all items to categories it’d fit under. There’s no smart intelligence otherwise. Sorting alphabetically is broken completely and doesn’t do it’s basic function The “Contact Support” button doesn’t work at all. Which is quite strange as you’re not unable to contact support for any issues Sync categories also doesn’t seem like it’s working as between 2 devices most thing just stay as “Others” even if another person created a category. Note that this is a paid feature and it doesn’t work as expected. I could not recommend this app as payware at all. If the above worked then sure, it’s a nice simplistic app. ### 1/5 — Unable to restore the Pro version *2024-09-07, version 10.5* I own the Pro version. After uninstalling some years ago, I decided to reinstall it but it doesn't let me restore the Pro version anymore; the button simply doesn't respond. Disappointing! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellente application *2026-08-30* Cela fait plusieurs années que nous utilisons cette application avec mon épouse, en partageant nos listes et c’est très utile. Alors oui, de temps en temps, un article supprimé d’un côté reste présent de l’autre et revient, mais bon, quand on met en face la practicité de l’appli, sa souplesse pour la création des articles et catégories, la possibilité d’ordonner ces dernières selon l’ordre des rayons de notre magasin, etc, de petits bugs sont certes un peu dommage, mais cette appli reste une des meilleures, voire la meilleure que nous ayons testée ! Une super amélioration serait de pouvoir associer à chaque article une photo, stockée bien entendu en local. ### 5/5 — Quantities Issue *2026-07-27, version 11.91* REVISED: My original issue with inappropriate quantities appearing in new lists has been resolved, thanks to Shoppylist support. It was, of course, user error. It's important to delete past purchases from Shoppylist so that the quantity feature works as expected. ________ ShoppyList is generally a fine app, but it has one issue that creates problems for me. When I enter a quantity of an item for my shopping list, say 3 apples, it also enters that number as a quantity into the main product list. The result is that the next time I add apples to my shopping list, the quantity of 3 appears, even if I only want 1 apple this time. The desired quantity needs to be a list-only detail and not be automatically added to the main product list. Otherwise, this is a very useful app. ### 5/5 — Quantity Issue Resolved *2026-07-27* As usual, my previous problem with the quantity turned out to be a user error. When previously purchased items are deleted, the quantity can be set for new lists and does not reappear from old purchases. Thanks to support for helping me resolve the issue. ### 5/5 — Love this App *2026-03-25, version 11.9* ♥️ ### 5/5 — Love it, but needs a fix *2026-02-23, version 11.9* I love Shoppylist and have used it for years.i highly recommend it. However, the latest update deleted the ability to clear or empty a list. Would you add that feature back? Thanks! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-01-22, version 11.9* I am a long time user of shoppylist, and heartily recommend it! ### 5/5 — Super application pour les courses *2026-01-22* Merci pour la dernière mise à jour, qui permet de connaître le montant de ses courses avant même de passer à la caisse, à condition bien sûr de mettre régulièrement les prix à jour. Les modèles sont aussi très pratiques : par exemple, pour un couscous, préparez 1 fois la liste de tous les ingrédients et enregstrez-la comme modèle : pas besoin de refaire la liste pour chaque couscous ! Des idées pour le développeur : 1) dans la description, on pourrait ajouter une photo du produit vu sur un catalogue 2) dans le prix en bas, on pourrait voir d'une part le montant des articles déjà dans le caddie, et d'autre part le montant restant à acheter. Merci en tout cas pour votre travail. Je fais mes courses avec mon Applewatch, c'est génial ! **Developer response:** Bonjour, merci beaucoup pour le retour! L'idée 2 a été réalisée. Merci pour vos suggestions. ### 5/5 — Game-changing *2026-01-05, version 11.8* Honestly, the best app. Amazing for easily organising the grocery list into categories, repeated lists and sharing lists with my husband. The digital list is seamless to add to and mark off items while shopping. Our friends love it too. If you haven’t downloaded already, why not! ### 5/5 — Application géniale *2026-01-02* Application que j'utilise au quotidien qui me rend vraiment service 😊. Merci aux développeurs. Une petite évolution qui serait un plus, c'est dans le menu favori, remplacer le bouton moins par le bouton détail, j'ai tendance à supprimé des articles des favoris alors que je voulais juste définir le nombre. Sachant qu'on a la suppression des favoris avec le glissement à gauche. Et pouvoir ajouter des articles dans les favoris, ça serait top 😊 **Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour votre retour, très bonne suggestion, je n'y avais pas pensé, je le note comme évolution future. ### 5/5 — What have you done to this app? *2025-12-03, version 11.8* I am a long time user of shopping list, and it’s always been a five star app. Until now first I had a problem with the list names not showing up. They released an update to fix that now I can no longer assign categories to things on my list. Not recommended. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
