Coathook
Read full descriptionHide full description
Coathook is a shared list for a house. Jobs, the shopping, and what's in the cupboards. Everyone sees the same thing. Everything has a name against it, so it's clear whose turn it is. You add things by typing them the way you'd say them. "Bins out Thursday" becomes a job for Thursday. "We're out of rice" goes on the shopping list, under the shop you get rice from. It reads most things correctly, and when it doesn't, it's two taps to fix. WHAT'S IN IT Jobs, with dates and who's doing them One shopping list, split by shop The fridge, freezer and cupboards, including what needs eating this week Widgets for the Home and Lock Screen A Watch app, for when you're pushing a trolley You can scan a barcode to put something in the kitchen, and the list comes up by itself when you walk into the shop. FIVE PEOPLE Grown-ups and children. A child gets their own jobs and isn't chased about anyone else's. ONE PRICE FOR THE HOUSE Two weeks free, then one monthly or yearly subscription covers the whole house, up to five people. It renews automatically unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the period ends, in your App Store account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PDF ToolBox at none against Coathook's 2. PDF ToolBox also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Coathook's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
