Shoppylist: Grocery List

I love this app! Purchased Pro so that me and my wife can keep our lists synced - but it only syncs one way. When I (the original purchaser) put things on and off, it updates on my wife’s but not vice versa… hope this might be fixed at one point (although I notice the app hasn’t really been tended to for a while) 😊 Many thanks, love it!

My wife bought this app and so have I. This app worked for two lists, but when we tried adding a new list, it will not appear on my phone. All syncs are turned on, but list does not appear, also tried using iMessage to send list, still does not work. Some instructions would be useful!

Been using this for a while now. Can’t fault it, does everything I want it to do except unpack the shopping Update: no longer updating list via the cloud

I used others previously but this is by far the easiest and best. Very customisable and worth customising to your own needs as then it is very fast to add your special items. Multiple lists. Excellent app.

Overall I like the way this app works better than all the dozens of others I tried. It doesn’t support Family Sharing so my wife and I both had to buy copies to allow syncing lists between us. Unfortunately, syncing is what we needed most and it just doesn’t work properly. Products seem to sync ok, but the categories and order they’ve been put into on one device doesn’t sync to the other device. Kinda spoils it. No way to manually force or reset the sync either. Also, there seems to be no way of switching lists on the Apple Watch app. You have to open the iPhone app and change the list there for it to change on the watch. Inconvenient when you’re in a store. Developer didn’t reply to support emails either.

Bought this so I could share lists with my partner but sharing seems to be broken. Contacted the developer but got no response

Looking for a shareable shopping app but this is not that good. It doesn’t recognise common items when categorising and adds them to ‘other’. For instance a meat item could be beef but not recognised if I add mince or beef mince or steak and so on. If I were adding a whole chicken and chicken thighs I could only add chicken.

Me and my wife have struggled every which way to try and get this program to synchronise lists consistently as it is supposed to. I have worked in IT most of my life so doubt that it’s me. We have now given up and are looking for another app.

This app was fantastic, with the ability to access my shopping list in the today view, and tick items off on the widget as I shopped. Sadly the latest update has downgraded from the old style functional widget to the newer dumb widget. This new widget is entirely useless, only showing a partial list and with no way of ticking items off as you get them. Such a shame a one great app has now been ruined. Update: Turns out the disappearance of the old widget was fixable. While there was no way to restore it through settings, it did come back after restarting the phone. I just hope the old widgets remain available in iOS 17, as I don’t believe the new widgets will be as good, even with the interactive functionality that’s getting added.

This app would work a lot better for me if I could add the categories that are already in the app to my shopping list, but there seems no way to do this. Unless this can be sorted out I fear I may have wasted my money….
