IntelliList - Shopping List

I love this app so much. Very useful.

I am extremely pleased with the features of this app. I have been using a “shopping list” app for years and while it provided me with the basic list of shopping items, I wanted more functionality such as the ability to compare prices at various stores and the ability to enter prices whether the item was packaged with multiple items or being sold individually. This app provides everything I was looking for and more, much more. Kudos to the developers of this product. It’s the best shopping app I have come across.

I tried several other shopping apps, but Intellilist is definitely the best. I have used the app since 2018. I can scan in items or add items manually with pictures and share the lists with my husband. Now when he goes shopping, he knows exactly what to get! I just had a problem with the scan feature not working after updating my iPhone to 17.1.1. I put in a bug report on Saturday and Tuesday I got an answer on how to restore in app purchases. I had another question years ago and I remember tech support responded promptly. Great app I highly recommend it.

I had a problem with the app not remembering I paid for the upgrade. I contacted support and they got right back to me with the fix for my problem. If I could give this app 11 stars I would.

Overall, the app does a good job of creating individual store lists and adding items to those lists. The problem I’ve run into is syncing information with my wife’s lists. We both use identical lists (7 in all) and we both synchronize our lists with her Dropbox account. The problem we found is that the list don’t update or synchronize consistently and the order of our lists on the list screen constantly get reshuffled in no apparent order. I’ve tried backing up and restoring the app on both my phone and my wife’s phone, but that has not fixed the problem. I have the “sort list manually” checked under lists, but again, the app randomly re-shuffles the order of all my list. So, other than the constant reshuffling the order of my lists and inconsistent updates and synchronization of our list items, it’s an ok app. Just wish these two nagging glitches would get resolved. The company to their credit replies promptly to email inquiries but they have not been successful in coming up with a solution using app settings.

Barcode scanner doesn’t work! It takes forever and never gets the result!

I’ve had IntelliList for several years. I love the fact that it keeps track of the prices of items so I know when I make my list approximately how much I’ll be spending and can adjust the list based on my budget. Prices can be updated as they change. I had an issue on my iPhone and sent an email on Monday. I got a response on Tuesday telling me how to fix it. Simple and easy.

Tried a few grocery list apps, this one is the best for me. I use it all of the time. Would like the app on my mac and Apple Watch, but this is by far the best grocery app in my opinion. I like the one time purchase and customization of this app.

I synch between my iPad & iPhone through Dropbox. Bought it back in 2019 when my other shopping app was discontinued. I love this list. Easy to add photos of items so makes shopping a snap. I don’t use all the features, like taxable, sorting by store aisles, because tax rates change, stores rearrange, but I do have multiple stores, and different lists, so usually “sort by store.” I had a couple of problems while learning, but support has been amazing, and issues easily resolved. Do not hesitate to upgrade to the paid version. If you are a list maker, you’ll not regret it.

UPDATE: The app experienced that thing where Apple and iOS think you haven’t paid for it. The way it manifested I wasn’t sure what was happening. I contacted the developer and he got back to me right away and told me how to restore the in-app purchase I had made many years ago. Worked, and this very useful and excellent app is working again. I also had to go into Dropbox restore the database to an earlier date to get the lists back. We have been using IntelliList for a few months and it’s perfect for our grocery shopping lifestyle. The scanner is fast and accurate. The search works great. Easye to add photos to items. Works well with Dropbox to keep your list synced between devices. The developer is actively improving the app and listens to users. We had a small problem recently with a list and their customer support was great. They even helped us on the weekend. I recommend trying it out for a couple of weeks to learn the ins and outs before buying the full version. You will need the full version if you want to create more than 30 items in your database. I feel the UI esthetics could be improved, but in some ways I like the minimal design. I set mine to black and white for maximum contrast in harsh grocery store lighting.
