### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-06-07, version 3.2*

The name of list comes up but no items, waste of time

### 2/5 — needs work

*2019-02-25, version 3.2*

Has potential. You can creat your own grocery items using your camera/photos and adding one line of text.  .. but you can’t    edit these, only delete.

### 4/5 — Simple and works

*2018-06-01*

I like this app because it's so simple and just works.
However now that there are so many oled phones isn't it about time these apps offered dark themes.

### 3/5 — Good but need some improvements

*2017-08-12, version 3.2*

Very good app bought full version but looking forward to get new update. Bad point is once you add a item with photo you cannot edit the name. If you want to edit then you need to delete the item and add it again with new name. Also you can not click on photo if you want to see the on full screen. And in last you can not create categories and in my items search bar not working.thanks

### 4/5 — Works well with Apple Watch

*2017-07-02, version 3.2*

Generally useful shopping list app. Handy that it links with my Apple Watch so I can use the list in store easier. You can add items to your database. The apps database is a bit random and so I tend not to use it. Claims to remember the order that you tick items off your list so that next time they'll display in the same order. This is fine if you only purchase the same things each week! If you delete items from your list when you add them again they all end up at the start. Wish you could reorganise the order yourself or had sections like other apps

### 1/5 — Soso

*2016-01-05, version 2.1*

Should be able to use it without an owners Manuel.

### 1/5 — No good

*2015-12-13, version 2.0*

No way to move items from one category to another. The shopping list template makes no sense.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2015-10-28, version 2.0*

When I came to look at my first list on my Apple Watch, the app told me I had yet to create a list on the iPhone. Well I had, so something fundamental is broken here. Also, you can't edit your shopping lists in any way, nor any custom items that you might create. And under the database category of "meat", the only item listed is "eggs".

### 4/5 — Font size? Image placeholder?

*2015-09-28, version 1.5*

I use this app on my iPhone to create a shopping list so I can check off items on my Apple Watch while shopping. I really like how the app looks on the Apple Watch, no complaints there, but I can't stand the sight of the app on my iPhone: The font is way too big for me, it takes up unnecessary space within the list. Also, I don't add food/item photos so it would be great if the food/item photo placeholder was an option, especially when there is no photo. It's a bit of an eyesore. Overall, I enjoy this useful app but I'd like to see more customization options.

### 2/5 — No directions

*2015-08-13, version 1.4*

Not intuitive... I've given up trying to figure out how to create a list and view it on my watch.
