### 3/5 — Simple but Glitchy.

*2026-07-05, version 5.0.3*

I’ve had the ShopShop shopping list app on my phone for quite a few years now, and I use it extensively. Over the last couple of years, it’s been getting kind of glitchy. For example, it creates extra shopping lists that I haven’t asked for, and when a shopping list exceeds the length of the screen, I can’t see the items below because it won’t let me scroll up to view and cross them off. This app needs a serious update.

### 2/5 — Used to work great

*2026-06-23, version 5.0.3*

For the past couple years I’ve had issues with the app shutting down when I try to edit or delete an item. I’ve been using this app since 2008 and it’s been great but now it keeps glitching.

### 4/5 — Love this App

*2026-05-02, version 5.0.3*

This App is awesome. I have used it for years. It has been having some glitches lately (3/1/26)-can’t move things from one list to another any longer, app shuts off if you try. A few other small issues too. I’ll adjust to the problems because I love the App.
Please fix the issue with moving things around the list and making edits. The app shutting off all the time is making it difficult to use.

### 2/5 — What happened???

*2026-02-24, version 5.0.3*

What happened? This used to be a pretty decent app, but over the last year or so I’ve noticed a lot of bugs. Most recently, I no longer see the number of items as a badge attached to the app icon.

### 4/5 — Edit stopped working. When you press item to edit, it leaves app. Clean up doesn't work either.

*2026-02-10, version 5.0.3*

I use this app daily and have for years, but the latest update is baaad. Too jumbled up, not enough room for list. Please change it back.

### 5/5 — The perfection of a workhorse

*2026-01-18, version 5.0.3*

Perfection. No notes. We’ve been leaning on this little guy for years for our weekly / monthly shopping lists. It does exactly what it’s supposed to and we can’t live without it.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-01-13, version 5.0.3*

Sill using this on iPhone 17. Wouldn’t be without it.

### 5/5 — Keeping it simple just works!

*2026-01-09, version 5.0.3*

I have had this app for years - since it first came out. There’s no need for updates because there’s nothing to improve. It lets you build straight forward lists easily and send this via SMS.

### 5/5 — Best app out there

*2026-01-02, version 5.0.3*

Even though this app hasn’t been updated in years, it’s still the best! I use it daily and have tried all the other apps available and nothing is as simple and intuitive as ShopShop. I keep all of my needed items in several separate lists as well as details like dimensions about things that I have or need. It’s awesome and no BS about it. 
I’d subscribe to it in a heartbeat just to keep it going and updated. I suspect the developer does an unannounced fix every now and then to keep it going as a couple of new iOS’s broke it in the past but it did start working again in time. Or if not then this is one well designed app!

### 5/5 — top 2025

*2025-12-17, version 5.0.3*

after so many years, in 2025 there is still no one better than you

### 2/5 — Needs an update

*2025-12-15, version 5.0.3*

Needs an update I used to love this Ap but now it closes when you try to touch and hold an item to edit it. Please fix it. It’s too great an Ap to not fix this problem

### 5/5 — All this app does is work

*2025-12-14, version 5.0.3*

I’ve used this app for 4 or 5 years and it does everything I want it to. I looked at several other apps today but none of them were as simple & easy to use. It would be nice to be able to share it with my iPad but that’s not the end of the world. I also wish the developer would ditch the pastels & go back to brighter colors but again it’s not a deal breaker. As I said this is a simple, easy to use app & all it does is work.

### 5/5 — Listmaker

*2025-12-09, version 5.0.3*

Great list maker! Very simple and straightforward to use.
You can make multiple lists and have different background colors for each list.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2025-12-07, version 5.0.3*

I wish I could transfer the list from my iPad to my phone on the app.
I can't figure out how to do it and all of a sudden if I try to change the color, the only choices I have are gray shades and I'm really disappointed because I don't like it 

but overall, the app has been my favorite for many years

I don't use any other shopping list app

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2025-11-20, version 5.0.3*

I have had this for years and love it’s simplicity. You can have several different lists e.g Costco, Trader Joes, etc. which I love for days I am running to several stores. Thank you for keeping this app available!

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2025-11-07, version 5.0.3*

Keeps crashing

### 5/5 — Had it for years!

*2025-10-25, version 5.0.3*

Simple, reliable, and ad-free, exactly what a shopping list app should be. I’ve used it for years, and only now do I realize how much I appreciate its clean design and the fact that it’s completely free with no annoying ads. Thank you for keeping it that way!

### 3/5 — Crashes often

*2025-10-05, version 5.0.3*

This app used to be better.  Now you can’t edit any thing as it crashes the app.  I wrote to support and they never responded.  I like the simplicity of this app for my shopping lists, but hope to find another one that has current support. If they improve support I’ll stick with it. 3/5 stars.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2026-07-05, version 5.0.3*

It won’t work after the first time you open it and create a list.

### 1/5 — Exactly

*2025-12-18, version 5.0.3*

Does not work on iPhone anymore

### 1/5 — Needs update urgently.

*2024-12-05, version 5.0.3*

I have used this app for years but now buggy as hell and keeps closing on me. Needs update for iOS 18.1.1 as it is glitching constantly now. Last update was like 20??. So beware.

### 1/5 — Won’t open

*2024-11-02, version 5.0.3*

Had this on my iPad no issues at all. Put it on my iPhone.. won’t even open.

### 1/5 — Used to be fab

*2024-09-02, version 5.0.3*

2issues reported and neither seem to have been acted apon 1. No longer possible to edit an item when added to a shopping list, just shows a blank line 2. App crashes if the box used for adding/creating is double tapped a year later still no response, so much for customer service. Cant recommend at all

### 1/5 — Crashes constantly.

*2024-07-26, version 5.0.3*

Used to be a great app. Now it’s pretty much useless.

### 1/5 — BEWARE data tracking App

*2024-05-20, version 5.0.3*

No app privacy policy listed on this developer and their website link listed to check their privacy policy is broken

### 1/5 — Update Seriously Needed

*2024-05-14, version 5.0.3*

I’ve been using this app for over 12 years!   I love it.  However now blinks once and crashes 
The last update was 6 years ago so I think my iOS update is more than it can handle.  
I’m really bummed.  This is a great app.  RIP 💔

### 1/5 — App crashes

*2024-02-05, version 5.0.3*

Have been using the app for many years, but since the last update when I try to delete an item rather than just cross it out the app crashes.

### 1/5 — Outdated

*2024-02-04, version 5.0.3*

This app was one of my favourites for many years but since iOS 17 upgrade it started crashing so it was time to move on. 
I found Apple’s Reminders app a fantastic replacement for Shopshop for the following reasons:
- you can access your lists in your other devices, ShopShop never did that. 
- you can group your lists and collapse the lists so much less clatter on the screen. Process is the same as organising icons. 
- If you set the app to keep the completed items then you don’t need to retype recurring items. 
So I can say well done Apple, Bye Bye ShopShop

### 5/5 — Very Handy

*2026-07-22, version 5.0.3*

I use this app all the time. Great for lists of any kind. You can name the lists and organize them alphabetically. Super easy to use.

### 5/5 — 圧倒的シンプルで使いやすい

*2026-06-17, version 5.0.3*

即起動、即入力。

食材が切れるたび、買うものを思いつくたびに入力していくだけ。後からドラッグで順序が変えられるから脳のリソースが消費されなくて大好き。

気づいたら10年くらい使っているのでこれからのOSアップデートでも使えますように…

### 5/5 — Only shipping list I use since iPhone 4

*2026-04-23, version 5.0.3*

Found this app when I first got my iPhone 4 and I’m still using it! Easy to use and can set up multiple stores for lists. I’ve tried others but this is the only one I’ve kept and consistently use.

### 5/5 — Best Shopping List of All Shopping Lists

*2026-04-19, version 5.0.3*

I have used this app for as long as I can remember. I would say since it is as first released. I have never had a problem with it and what I like about it is the simplicity of writing a list as if I was actualy writing a shopping list down on paper.

### 5/5 — Absolutely love this app but a couple improvements needed!

*2026-04-16, version 5.0.3*

I have used this app for years but each time I get a new phone my master list does not transfer so I have to start all over. AND I just accidentally deleted my entire master list that had very specific items I relied having on my list. It will take me so long to recreate the list but can’t recreate the specific brands or sizes my family likes! Wish there was a recover button or at least a warning when you are about to delete or “clean up” an entire list!!! So sad!!!!

### 5/5 — My go-shopping list

*2026-04-09, version 5.0.3*

I have been using this app for YEARS and it is long overdue for the review it deserves. Simple. To the point. The more things you add, the easier it is to use subsequent times as it will autofill. 

I will create multiple lists for different purposes. One is obviously for shopping for just regular groceries. But then I make one just for pot roast. So it always has all the ingredients I want for that recipe and when I go shopping, I don’t end up getting home and cursing because I forgot that one ingredient because I forgot to put it on the list. 

Super simple to use. Elegant. Does exactly what you want it to do. No ads. Fully functional.

### 5/5 — Simple yet effective

*2026-03-29, version 5.0.3*

A simple yet very effective shopping list.

### 5/5 — Love this App

*2026-03-01, version 5.0.3*

This App is awesome. I have used it for years. It has been having some glitches lately (3/1/26)-can’t move things from one list to another any longer, app shuts off if you try. A few other small issues too. I’ll adjust to the problems because I love the App.

### 5/5 — Fantastica

*2026-02-26, version 5.0.3*

Da sempre la migliore, la più pratica immediata ed efficace e oltretutto gratuita!!
Una sola mancanza: la versione per AppleWatch.
Comunque, per me, la N.1

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-02-12, version 5.0.3*

Still using this app after more than 10 years - simple but extremely useful. I use this for all my shopping each week.
