## What is SwiftLists?

Plan groceries, discover recipes, and turn easy meals into shared shopping lists—without rebuilding the same list every week.

SwiftLists keeps repeat shopping simple. Start from a ready-made template in the Library or create your own reusable grocery list, then check items on when you need them and off after you buy them.

• Find recipes and quick meal ideas when you do not know what to make

SHOP AND COOK IN ONE PLACE
• Turn recipe ingredients into an organized shopping checklist
• Switch between Shop and Cook views
• Keep cooking instructions and ingredient measurements with the recipe
• Add a cover image so favorite recipes are easy to recognize

SHARE THE WEEKLY SHOPPING
• Sync grocery lists with family, a partner, or roommates
• See shared changes across devices
• Keep separate lists for different stores, trips, diets, and occasions

MOVE THROUGH THE STORE FASTER
• Sort groceries by aisle, category, or store section
• Reuse the items you buy every week
• Choose whether checked items stay available for next time or disappear
• Use bulk actions, notes, custom categories, and custom groups
• Keep working offline when a store has poor reception, then sync later

### 5/5 — simple and straightforward

*2024-04-30*

Pretty easy to use - within a few minutes of downloading the app I got my whole grocery list in there. I like how the checked items don’t disappear so that I don’t have to re enter things that I buy every week

### 5/5 — Easy to use, I love it

*2024-04-27*

I like how simple the interface is. It’s everything I need in a grocery list. The categories are great, it makes shopping faster. I used to write my lists over and over again, but with this I can keep all my items for next time. The features are great, and it seems to work everywhere even when I don’t have a good signal. Overall, I’m very pleased. I will definitely keep using it.

### 1/5 — Way too difficult!

*2023-09-30*

Installed this and tried everything to make my lists…impossible to figure out…uninstalled within minutes!

### 1/5 — The app does not work

*2023-08-21*

I don’t know why this has good reviews because I absolutely does not work. And on top of that they try to trick you after you’re trial to pay 70 bucks for the entire year. this is such a great idea if it worked.

**Developer response:** Hi Fetih, what's not working? Please tell us, and we'll fix it. There's a lot going on in this app behind the scenes that allows it to work offline, and bugs can happen. A better place to report issues is https://swiftlists.app/contact, and we'll work to resolve whatever is broken. To your second point, we are a business and businesses have to make money. We believe that providing advanced features for a premium is better than cluttering everyones' experience with ads. We follow apple's guidelines with subscription disclosures.

### 3/5 — Not liking it

*2022-10-20*

Although the app seems very high-quality and functional in many ways, there does not seem to be a way to delete the items once you’ve checked them off your list. The checkmark box stays checked and you can organize the items so the checked items are at the top or the bottom of the list but my lists are temporary. I want the item to disappear once I check it off the list and that does not happen in this appAlso because I signed in without a password somehow. The sign in process and sign-up process are a little wonky. You must be sure you give them your email and password or you can’t sign in again. I think this app has potential but there are some things that need to change to make it useful for me.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for the kind words. When you create an item, you can now set it to 'Delete on Check' which will delete it when you check it off. This will help with temporary items that you only need to buy once. If you sign in without a password and email, we generate a random one for you that's specific to your device - some features are disabled when you do this, but you can 'Add your Email', and it will be just like a normal account. If you want to log in again, you'll just have to reset your password.

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2022-06-24*

I absolutely love the ease of this app….. easy to organize… categorize..   
Makes shopping so easy
Another big plus. I had a question about the sharing feature and had a response within minutes.

### 5/5 — Great Way to Share Lists

*2022-05-20*

Easy way to keep everyone on the same page. Family Grocery lists with multiple shoppers, planing for parties, tailgating or camping- everyone knows what we need and what we have. Awesome!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2022-01-17*

My iPhone notes wouldn’t sort alphabetically so happily I found this 
Works really well to check alphabeticaly or by category as you shop 
Thanks

### 5/5 — Pauline

*2019-11-15*

### 5/5 — It works!!!

*2019-11-11*

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for to keep up with my grocery items. After going through many apps I finally have one that just works!! Thank you for developing this app!! A++
