Sometimes it freezes or won’t allow me to swipe. ### 3/5 — Love! But glitchy *2026-03-13, version 4.1* I love this app over other grocery list apps because I can search the database, add new words to the list, and re-organize the list however I want. It’s simple and straightforward and I can have multiple lists going at once. Only downside is this glitch. It keeps popping up with list has changed after every touch and I have to hit OK after every touch. Very frustrating and makes the app extremely difficult to use. This glitch is relatively new, only started happening this year. Wish the developers would take a look at this. Seems like an easy fix. ### 2/5 — Errors *2026-01-10, version 4.1* When I try to use it - in getting errors ### 2/5 — Used to be good! *2025-12-04, version 4.1* I really liked using this app and have been for years until recently when a pop up about my list being edited comes up multiple times and is annoying. I don’t share the list with anyone else so there should t be an issue. Bi deleted it and restarted it and still nothing. Please fix! ### 3/5 — “List Changed” *2025-11-04, version 4.1* Used to love this app but recently every time I open it I get the message “ list changed. The list you were editing has been edited or changed on another device” I don’t have this app on another device And it is very annoying to have to close this message numerous times in order to view my list ### 2/5 — Glitching out!! *2025-10-20, version 4.1* This app keeps glitching out!!! I have had this app for years and loved it. Recently it keeps having an error code that the list has been edited. Nothing fixes this! I even deleted and redownloaded- still has errors!! Ugh!! So bummed. Please fix this asap!! ### 4/5 — Lists *2025-10-08, version 4.1* Love this app but it seriously needs an update. It glitches and claims that it’s being edited on another device. Please fix it! I can’t find another app even half as good! ### 3/5 — Was good *2025-09-25, version 4.1* Used to love this, but lately it’s been having issues. I have pop-ups saying that the list has been changed on another device. I also get ads, even though I paid for no ads. ### 2/5 — iPhone update ruined this app *2025-09-19, version 4.1* I used to love this app so much. It was my GO TO for not only grocery lists - all things list related. But ever since I updated my iPhone, this app has gone trash! Anytime I try to add or delete anything it pops up a prompt and I am so annoyed that I’m just deleting the app altogether and downloading a different one. 😒 ### 2/5 — Please fix it *2025-09-10, version 4.1* I loved using this to organize my grocery list, but now I keep getting a pop up saying the app is being used on another device. I don’t have it on another device. Please fix it or I’ll have to find something else. ### 2/5 — Gone downhill *2025-09-07, version 4.1* I used to love the simplicity and ease of this app. However, now every single time I open a list, it has a pop-up window that keeps telling me this list has been edited, and I have to click on it at least 4 times before it goes away and I can finally see/use the list. Seriously, my lists get edited all the time, that’s the point of a list to check off, add and delete tasks! And yes, I have the most recent update, so not sure why this is happening. Please fix it!! ### 4/5 — great app, but… *2025-08-09, version 4.1* have used this app for yrs… always did what you want… after 5 yrs, no way there will be any updates and it’s starting to get rough around the edges… anybody have a good alternative? ### 2/5 — Glitchy now *2025-08-05, version 4.1* I’ve had this app for many years now & I have loved it BUT for the past year it keeps glitching & won’t work & tells me it was edited on another device. But I don’t have ANOTHER DEVICE. ### 3/5 — I did love it *2025-06-13, version 4.1* I have had this app since its beginning. All of a sudden it is having issues. I’m the only one who has the app but it keeps telling me that an open list has changed the list and when you press “ok” the same message pops up anywhere from 1 to 5 more times. I have deleted it and reinstalled it but that didn’t solve the problem. I’m trying another list app. ### 2/5 — Bought themes *2025-05-14, version 4.1* So I bought some themes and accidentally uninstalled my app so when I went back to the app it said restore and I did but my themes are gone and it wants me to rebuy… I also bought the add removal and it to is gone hit the restore and nothing.. Not sure why this is going on but the sucks… I should be able to restore what I bought… ### 3/5 — Constant Scrolling *2025-03-01, version 4.1* Went exiting the app or locking the phone, the app doesn’t reopen to where you were at. It reopens at the top menu and when you pick a list it displays the top of the list. It doesn’t reopen to where you are when shopping. As item are checked off there is no way to hide them. So you have to scroll past tens of items already purchased or not on the list for this trip. App doesn’t use phones dictionary to suggest/correct spelling. ### 2/5 — Can no longer email lists *2024-07-29, version 4.1* I’ve had this app for a few years! I loved the ability to email lists back and forth with my husband, but have lost the ability to email. It shows up in the menu to email, but it does not do anything. I’ve risked deleting app and losing my lists, redownloading the app, and still unable to to email!! ### 4/5 — A very useful app. *2024-04-05, version 4.1* A very useful app. Would be wonderful if it had the option to increase font size to make it more usable for seniors and the elderly with decreased eyesight ### 4/5 — Please update! *2024-02-26, version 4.1* Love the simplicity and ease of use of this app! But it has not been updated in over three years. It is in serious need of an overhaul as it’s a bit buggy now. Other than that, I love this app! it does everything I need it to do. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too Old and Never Updated *2026-03-18, version 4.1* This app needs to be pulled from Apple Store. Used to be pretty good but now buggy as hell and hasn’t been updated in over 5 years! ### 1/5 — Was My Favorite But I Had to Delete It *2025-11-17, version 4.1* This was my favorite grocery app because of the yellow notepad theme and because it's simple but the items can be easily rearranged. Now however I repeatedly get the pop up message saying the list has been edited or deleted on another device. I've tried everything to make it stop! I just tried it again and it's still happening after over a year of not using it. So frustrating. I also paid for ad free and the theme I like. I hope they fix it!! ### 1/5 — Use to be good *2025-11-15, version 4.1* I have used this app for years and never had problems. But now it’s constantly popping up saying the list was changed on another device. I only have one device! ### 1/5 — List *2025-10-13, version 4.1* I had this before and the checked items appeared at the top.. now they appear at the bottom of the list and the list is long.. having to scroll down To the bottom does not make sense. Add top or bottom to your sort for checked items. ### 1/5 — Please fix! *2025-10-12, version 4.1* Getting the same pop up message that others have mentioned: “List Changed - The list you were editing has been changed or deleted on another device.” I don’t use this app on another device. How about an update that isn’t 5 years old?! If this app is no longer being updated, then remove it. ### 1/5 — Ugh! *2025-09-29, version 4.1* Used this app for years with no problem and loved it. Now every time I open it a pop- up appears telling me the list has been changed on another device (which is ridiculous!)and won’t let me use it. So frustrating! Guess I need to download a different list app now. ### 1/5 — In-App Add Removal *2023-03-22, version 4.1* Originally paid for Ad-Removal in 2011. Worked fine until re-download and re-installation March 2023. Ads have returned with no way to turn them off no matter which method I try. Not getting what I paid for in 2011. ### 1/5 — You’ve been hacked *2022-06-23, version 4.1* You have an iPad Pro giveaway scam popping up as a message in your app. Please fix as soon as possible. I like using your app & would normally give it a high rating, but I don’t feel safe using it currently. ### 1/5 — Was great, now has bugs making it unusable. *2021-01-22, version 4.1* I’ve used this app for years and loved it. Recently, it brings some items I’ve checked as bought back to active (unchecked) status, loses recent unchecked items (puts them back to checked status. I’m trying to find a replacement. ### 1/5 — Awful app *2020-01-26, version 4.0* A blank page comes up where you can type in a list name. There are no prompts. There are no ways to print out, etc, etc . Even though I paid an additional $2.99, it did not help. So I deleted and got Ant List app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great for groceries *2026-05-02, version 4.1* I enjoy this for grocery shopping. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-11-10, version 4.1* I love this app and use it all the time. Only wish it had the a-z on side to quickly get thru list and not have to scroll. ### 5/5 — Absolute Best *2025-01-13, version 4.1* Apple should buy, update, and make this a default app. It’s simple, intuitive, and the best grocery app out there. ### 5/5 — Great 4 a mom ‘on the go’ *2024-10-18, version 4.1* Separate mine by recipes and holidays Super easy to use, been using daily for the past 5 yrs w two young boys ### 5/5 — LOVE & Share *2024-01-08, version 4.1* I LOVE this app and recommend this to friends to organize their shopping trips. ### 5/5 — Great *2022-12-27, version 4.1* This simple Grocery List app is exactly what I needed. I want an ongoing list that I don’t have to re-create every week. Something where I can just check off what I need. I like that I can have multiple lists for different stores. It doesn’t have to be just grocery. The free version has an ad but it’s hardly noticeable. I decided to go ahead and pay the $2.99 for the pro simply because I want to give back to the developer. It’s such a low price and it’s totally worth it for the simplification of my life. ### 5/5 — Basic and easy to use *2022-12-25, version 4.1* I have used this app for years - I have installed it on 3 successive iPhones over the years. I don’t have time for apps that are complex and fiddley to use. This one is perfect for making a shopping or task list and checking of the items as you get them. Oh, and there’s no in-app purchases required. It works just fine in its basic form. ### 5/5 — Grocery List *2022-09-03, version 4.1* Easily adaptable. Simple to use. I like that it has price and quantity available. Multiple list can be made. It just works for me so I really like it ### 5/5 — Simple and easy *2022-07-10, version 4.1* It’s perfect. Simple and easy. Add and remove from the list. ### 5/5 — Double down *2022-07-04, version 4.1* I’ve used the app for years and love the simplicity. Lately, (I’m thinking the last month or so) every time I tap an item it puts 2 on my grocery list and I have to delete one. Haven’t given up yet but I might if it is constantly doing it. Right now it is occasional. Update: deleting the app now. There is an ad that imitates Facebook with this flashing icon. Very annoying. I’m done. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
