Read My List makes grocery lists easier to see, hear, and update while shopping. Paste a list from messages, email, notes, or anywhere else. Read My List turns it into large editable item cards, so each item is easier to read and check off. You can also add items one at a time. Tap any card to hear that item read aloud, or use Read whole list to hear remaining items in order. Mark items done, undo them, long-press to edit, and swipe to delete. Built for simple in-store use with large text, high-contrast cards, big controls, offline access, and your current list saved on your device.
