Fortunately, I don’t smoke. *2025-05-10, version 2.17.0* I like the app, but have just one complaint, although in my mind it’s an important complaint. When you add something to your list, you have to hit return rather than Hitting the + to add another item. I think this is an oversight that should be easily rectified. Other than that, I do like the program. I like it simplicity. ### 3/5 — Too limiting *2025-05-02, version 2.17.0* Simple Shopping List is too limiting. It would be nice to have more than one list on this app. ### 4/5 — Simple and effective *2024-11-16, version 2.16.0* Would give 5 star if it would once ticked the item, put it to the botten of the shopping list ### 2/5 — Updates actually make the user interface worse *2024-08-08, version 2.13.0* I downloaded this app a few years ago to do my groceries. One of the updates made it so that when an item from the list was crossed off as completed it would automatically move it to the bottom of the list. I found that super frustrating because I wanted to maintain my list week to week in that specific order for my usual items regardless of whether they were checked off or not. They finally changed it back but now in the most recent update they also made another unnecessary change. Instead of crossing out the items now you have these teeny tiny boxes on the side that are really hard to select unless you have the font size way up. I’m going delete this app because clearly the developer has no awareness in what they are doing when trying to make these “improvements”. As the old saying goes, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it!! ### 2/5 — Annoying ads *2024-01-28, version 2.8.0* The app used to be fantastic until recently now everytime i open the app im asked if i want to upgrade I have deleted as a result of this A good app ruined ### 2/5 — Randomised lists *2024-01-22, version 2.7.0* Used to be a great, simple list maker but after the last update it’s started randomising my lists. You spend time arranging the items in a logical order, only for the next time you open the list it’s all been put in a random order. It wasn’t broken, why did you fix it? ### 2/5 — Sudden subscription required *2024-01-18, version 2.7.0* I’ve used this app for a few years for my weekly shopping. It’s always been free but when I opened it this morning to start my list, it’s requiring a subscription all of a sudden. I’ll source a free one thanks ### 3/5 — Needs improvement *2023-04-28, version 2.6.0* When compiling a check list, I can get maybe 6 items listed before the keyboard obstructs my view and I just have to blindly type, not a app breaking bug but very annoying. Also, when checking items off, it would be nice if they not only greyed out, but moved to the bottom of the list. So far this is only mildly more convenient than writing on paper or compiling a list in my notes app. ### 3/5 — Might be good *2023-02-19, version 2.6.0* Just started using it today would be nice if the return button was used instead of the + sign. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2022-11-24, version 2.6.0* Does what it says on the box ### 5/5 — Love a list *2022-11-15, version 2.6.0* Fantastic app so easy to use and love the simplicity of it ### 5/5 — Simple by name simple by nature. *2022-10-02, version 2.5.1* Easy to add and you can tick off once you’ve got it or what I do is use the same shopping list and tick what I need and remove tick once item is in trolley. So you can use same shopping list over and over again without the need to type a new one all the time ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Simple Shopping List + To Do *2026-07-14, version 3.0.1* Takes forever to open & Temu ads are XXX! Will use another app. ### 1/5 — Latest update issue *2025-11-05, version 2.17.3* App was working fine till the latest update, when you want to edit the list the curser ends up back to the end of the list rather than where you want to edit. ### 1/5 — Do not trust it *2025-10-29, version 2.17.3* I had an important list and the whole thing just disappeared. If it matters do t use this app ### 1/5 — Subscription plan really *2025-01-18, version 2.17.0* No ### 1/5 — Remains on while using *2024-12-07, version 2.17.0* The app turns off while I’m using it ? How do I get it to stay on ??? ### 1/5 — What’s gone wrong *2024-09-04, version 2.13.0* Something changed in this app about a couple of months ago. From being a brilliant and useful app for shopping has become almost unusable. Too frequently I can’t open my list. This seems to be because the app wants to use the internet before showing me my list. The internet often is not available in a store. I am so fed up with it I am deleting it and will use another app that so far works well. ### 1/5 — Rip off *2024-01-22, version 2.7.0* I have been using this app for a number of years and now all of a sudden without warning I do an upgrade in apps and it now charges me to use the app!! Not happy! That was sneaky and underhanded and definitely not transparent dealings with me the customer!!😡 ### 1/5 — Absolutely useless *2023-05-30, version 2.6.0* Simplicity is good. But there is nothing at all! Pointless application with three buttons ### 1/5 — Rubbish List -5 Stars *2021-10-08, version 2.3.1* A digital shopping list that WILL NOT print, save or share in reasonable format let alone re-arrange, categorise, add multiples etc, defeating the whole point of a digital list. This is counter intuitive and a massive waste of time with many fake reviews. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t sync *2021-10-07, version 2.3.1* I thought this App was going to be really useful until I realised that it doesn’t sync across my devices. I have it on two iPhones and an iPad. If I have a list on one device, it doesn’t sync to all. This is very important to me. Otherwise love the App. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — List *2026-03-28, version 2.19.1* Very helpful helping me to remember. ### 5/5 — Fantastic little app *2026-02-04, version 2.17.4* Love this I have a few lists one for groceries one for maintenance stuff another for take list when shopping and check them off as I go ### 5/5 — Mr bishop *2025-11-04, version 2.17.3* Really good app ### 5/5 — Easy to use and edit *2025-07-22, version 2.17.2* This is my go to shopping list every time ### 5/5 — Simple to use *2025-05-07, version 2.17.0* Easy to use ### 5/5 — Easy *2024-10-15, version 2.16.0* Easy to use ### 5/5 — Simpli *2024-08-29, version 2.13.0* Quick and efficient ### 5/5 — Must have *2024-06-26, version 2.13.0* Must have handy simple app for shopping list , I add too every day , Simple to use , I couldn’t do without this 5 ⭐️. 👌🏻 ### 5/5 — Me encanta *2024-05-06, version 2.13.0* Excelente me encanta me ayuda demasiado la recomiendo ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-02-03, version 2.6.0* So quick and easy to use. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
