## What is The Grocery List?

Problem: You spend more time at the grocery store than you need to because items on your hand written grocery list are not organized to prevent you from revisiting departments while you shop.

Using 3 simple steps, The Grocery List helps you avoid wasting time revisiting departments at the grocery store.

1. Organize your list by grocery store departments, aisles, or locations. To save even more time, you can even sort the order of departments on the list to create a predetermined path through the grocery store.

2. Build your list by adding the items you plan to purchase to corresponding departments on the list.

3. Track your progress as you visit the departments in the grocery store.  The Grocery List will let you know when you have marked all the items in a department as collected.  It’s easy to see at a glance which departments still have items to collect.


Features:
* The Grocery List comes with an example list to get you started.
* Add, delete, rename and reorder the departments on your list.
* Customize the icon for each department.
* Preserve and reuse your list when you are done by unchecking all items with the tap of a button.

## Key features

- Organize by department, aisle, or location

### 1/5 — In order

*2024-05-04*

Could you do something so the items that are added to your list of items can be arranged in alphabetical order please it would be greatly appreciated.

### 3/5 — In order

*2024-04-05*

Could you do something so the items  can be arranged in alphabetical order ?

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2023-02-10, version 1.0*

Very difficult to use, once you start the tutorial you can’t get out of it. The settings are nearly nonexistent.

### 3/5 — Needs one more level

*2021-09-16, version 1.0*

Looks pretty good, I love the different color themes. I think it needs one more level above where you start for stores. If you start with stores, then inside each store you have a list, I think this will make this a much better app. I agree with the other reviews who said this is the closest to Grocery IQ, and that’s a good thing. IQ was a little clunky, and didn’t have the different themes, but it was great
Okay, I’ve been playing with it for about a week, trying to see how it will work. You can’t edit the items once you’ve put them on the list!  All you can do is check them off or delete them!

### 3/5 — Good app

*2021-07-20, version 1.0*

This is the closest I have found to the Grocery IQ app I’ve used for years.  Unfortunately that app is no longer in the App Store for updates so I’ve been testing other apps.
I hope future updates bring synchronize ability and multi store lists.

### 4/5 — Love App

*2021-03-16, version 1.0*

I really love this app!  So easy to use, rearrange departments & add/delete items. The only thing I wish this app has is the ability to have a list for each grocery store that I shop at. It’s a little annoying to have to rearrange the departments depending on what store I’m at. Other then that, this is the easiest grocery app that I have tried.

### 4/5 — Very useful

*2021-01-14, version 1.0*

I added all the items I typically buy and am happy I am able to use the list over and over. I do wish I could blacken the bullet so I could mark just the items I needed that day and then the strike out line could mark the items I bought.

### 1/5 — Incomplete

*2020-04-06, version 1.0*

How do you print the list?

### 5/5 — Easy and helpful!

*2019-07-31, version 1.0*

Love not having to rewrite my list each week! Easy to modify the list and very helpful at the market! Icons are a cool bonus

### 5/5 — Really helpful

*2019-04-05, version 1.0*

My grocery store has two floors and I always forget something and have to go back downstairs to get it. I organized my list by upstairs and downstairs so now I make sure I get everything from one floor before going to the next!
