Instead of scraps of paper with reminders all over this is one big list that I can color code by category. There may be other apps like this but this one is free. The ads are at the bottom and simple to remove. ### 5/5 — Best shopping App *2022-08-15, version 2.5.14* How easy! Type in an item and it automatically puts it in alphabetical order with other items. Plus color dots allow you to keep frozen, shelf , refrigerated, etc. items grouped together. ### 5/5 — Very useful *2021-11-17, version 2.5.8* Simple list app is easy to use.With straightforward directions. My one complaint is a to new change to the app. Items on my “ permanent “listCan no longer be selected to go to the top a list to buy. They simply become unchecked and stay in place. This means I have to scroll all the way to the bottom frequently.It’s much easier to miss an item it intended to buy. ### 5/5 — Very Useful For Lists! *2021-10-21, version 2.5.5* Extremely simple, straightforward app! I wish the colors were bolder. I wish I could rearrange the order of items in the list by pressing and holding them with my finger and then sliding the item up or down the list. ### 5/5 — Perfect app for keeping organized *2021-09-19, version 2.4.11* Easy to use and helps me keep on top of my weekly To Do’s 💛 - great for those of us who get overwhelmed easily and need somewhere to put our tasks. ### 5/5 — List *2021-06-29, version 2.4.8* I love this app it is simple to use and no ads! I have been looking forever to find the Perfect List maker and I have found it! Thanks👍 ### 5/5 — Not as good as Wunderlist *2021-05-20, version 2.4.6* Wunderlist was useful, then it was withdrawn, so I installed this. It is not as good. ### 5/5 — Memory helper *2021-04-25, version 2.4.6* I am getting older and more forgetful and I use simple list for my grocery list as well as my errand and to do list. It is extremely helpful to me and it’s just what it says, Simple for someone like me who’s not tech savvy ### 5/5 — Pippa Regnault *2021-02-26, version 2.2.0* Great little app helped me with my multiple shopping lists that I do simultaneously. I especially liked the format allowing me to make a generic list. ### 5/5 — Mr Mark Waters *2021-02-22, version 2.2.0* A clean simplistic App, that I now realise how much I needed and it will assist me with my daily organisation! ### 5/5 — Convenient *2020-11-24, version 2.1.4* Having this app has helped me with my grocery list where I never leave without having everything on the list. ### 5/5 — Perfect for my needs *2020-09-06, version 2.0.7* Love the simplicity of this app and how user friendly it is. I’ve tried several different list and to do apps, but there was always something that made them hard to use. Simple list app is great. And a question, will there be a version for the Apple Watch? ### 5/5 — 😁 *2020-05-17, version 1.7.0* Sooo easy! No bells and whistles..Yay! ### 5/5 — Convenient to use *2020-05-02, version 1.6.2* Five color categories, easy to use and pull up to look at as you shop. Easy to edit. Recommend. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not very useful *2019-11-07, version 1.3.12* You can only make 1 list which is not very useful. I don’t know of anyone who makes lists that only needs ONE list. ### 2/5 — Close but no cigar. *2023-08-25, version 2.9.3* Needs a much better help function. ### 2/5 — Review *2021-03-27, version 2.2.0* I would like items to be stored so they do not have to be entered each time. Other than that I find it very good. I mean a list of items you have entered that will be permanent so you can refer back to them when you make a new list. ### 2/5 — Not fully accessible *2020-11-20, version 2.1.4* Looks like a good simple app. But for a visually impaired individual, it is not very accessible. Many buttons that are not labeled. Also most apps when they have a support link have a direct link to the creator. Not so in this app. ### 2/5 — As simple as a pen & pad *2019-06-09, version 1.3.7* ...but more flexible and earth friendly. Not overly complex. ### 4/5 — great - but being able to see the checked off one/restore them could be good *2021-05-19, version 2.4.6* I really like this app but would love it if it had a way to see/restore checked off ones ### 4/5 — Order of items *2020-09-24, version 2.0.7* I wish I could order my items by “most recent entry” Also if possible, Being able to copy/drag items out of the list to form a “Today List” so constant typing would become infrequent. 😄😄😄 Dr Reeves 1 ### 4/5 — Apps my iPhone in ahp *2020-03-01, version 1.4.4* Free for me ### 5/5 — Simple list app *2026-06-22, version 3.0.5* Great app it’s great for shopping. ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2025-06-03, version 3.0.2* 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. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 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, version 2.10.1* 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!! ### 5/5 — Simple list app *2023-12-12* Great app it’s great for shopping. ### 5/5 — Handy Shopping List Tool *2023-11-07, version 2.9.4* Easy to use - always readily available on my phone. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Simple list app *2023-01-11, version 2.6.2* Great app it’s great for shopping. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2023-01-04, version 2.5.17* Please add a way to save or move list. Thanks ### 5/5 — Tweety *2022-10-21, version 2.5.15* Simple enough to use so far. I love this app, but still can be improved. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
