### 5/5 — I love this app!

*2025-06-03*

The name says it all, “Simple”. I love the simplicity of this app.
I’ve tried others, but always come back to a “Simple” way of shopping.

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-03-15, version 3.0.1*

Still loving this app. In use every day and the reason is…
the clue is in the title.

### 5/5 — Recommended

*2024-08-15*

Works great !

### 5/5 — BEST OPTION BY FAR!!!

*2024-05-16, version 2.9.9*

I just switched to SL because the app I was using decided to take away features that had been free for over 10 years. I thought I was content with my then listing app and never would have considered changing if they hadn’t changed their pricing policy. However, their change prompted me to look at other list apps. Boy am I glad they did-I’m happier with Simple List!!! It’s simple, and covers all lists at-a-glance on one page—NO MORE SWITCHING BETWEEN PAGES TO GET TO DIFFERENTLY TITLED LISTS. I saw complaints/reviews about not having the ability to create different lists with SL but all you have to do to accomplish that is 1. Code your item.. ie all groceries start with “G”; all to-do items start with “TD”; etc. — like G. bread, G. eggs, etc. or TD. call lawyer, TD. go to library, etc. 2. Then Color code each category. 3. Filter either by color or alphabetically, etc. VOILA!!
