OurList - Shared Shopping List

Good

My husband and I have been using this app for over a year and it helps us so much especially because we work opposite schedules. So if one of us is running to the grocery store, we can just toss something on the list without having to track eachother down to talk about it!

My wife and I live in this app. It works to keep our lists updated instantly, helping us cover the purchase of our needs in real time. This helps when she thinks of something for the list and I’m getting in line to checkout. BAM! I can get it. Of course, that also works if you’re having a fight and wanna irritate your partner a bit. BAM! They can get it. Then wait about four minutes and BAM! They can get that now. And then BAM…well you get the idea. 😁

This app is actually really useful and I like how you can choose how much to pay for the premium, and I love how they listen to your suggestions

My wife and I are building a house, have a young family, and are both working. This app isn't complex or complicated, but we both use it for personal lists for work, tools I need for the house, construction materials, groceries, and many more things. It is really easy to make a list, and to share it or keep it for yourself. It's extremely useful for keeping a family or small company organized across multiple people. The only problem we have is when someone swipes one way, the item is crossed out and check marked in the list, but the other way instantly deletes the item. We have found that it's too easy to accidentally delete something from the list, that is important to confirm to the managing party was taken care of.

I hate overly complicated apps I end up never using. Ourlist has plenty of options for use but a simple, intuitive functionality that my wife and I love. And it syncs instantly. Love it!

Years ago, my wife and I used an App call Honey Dew. It was really close to this app. The one thing this app misses, to get the last star, is an audible notification to the other person that there is a new or updated list. As it stands now, you have to message or email the other person on the your list to make sure they knowthat, say, a new grocery list has been made.

As Microsoft has hobbled the once great Wunderlist and produced a replacement with their typical “quality” standards, I had to find a reasonable replacement. We happened upon this app and though it’s a bit half-baked, it works for what we need it for. Technically you can share lists, but only after clicking the link that is texted to you by your partner, acknowledging that you want to open it in the app, having the app open, finding that the shared list is not actually there, then repeating the process to make it actually appear. Yes, I did attempt to report the bug, but the developer is non-responsive. Beyond that, the pay-for a usable color scheme model is certainly creative, if not particularly business savvy. Honestly, with as many people jumping off the Wunderlist ship, you’d think developers like this would get the hint and produce a quality product to try to cull that market share. Not so much.

We just wanted something simple to use that could update live so if one of us was shopping or running errands and there other was not, we could still get items we forgot to add earlier. No worries about a text being delayed or having to make a phone call for one or two things (and still having me forget to get them as soon as we hang up). The only thing I am not liking right now is that when I try to reorder my list, the app shuts down EVERY TIME. Hopefully this will be fixed soon in an update.

Everything is great except for the fact that the app deletes lists and items that you have written if you don’t press return after you write them.
