   Was My Favorite But I Had to Delete It. This was my favorite grocery app because of the yellow notepad theme and because it's simple but the items can be easily rearranged. Now however I repeatedly get the pop up message saying the list has been edited or deleted on another device. I've tried everything to make it stop! I just tried it again and it's still happening after over a year of not using it. So frustrating. I also paid for ad free and the theme I like. I hope they fix it!!

   Use to be good. I have used this app for years and never had problems. But now it’s constantly popping up saying the list was changed on another device. I only have one device!

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   List. I had this before and the checked items appeared at the top.. now they appear at the bottom of the list and the list is long.. having to scroll down To the bottom does not make sense. Add top or bottom to your sort for checked items.

   Please fix!. Getting the same pop up message that others have mentioned: “List Changed - The list you were editing has been changed or deleted on another device.” I don’t use this app on another device. How about an update that isn’t 5 years old?! If this app is no longer being updated, then remove it.

   Ugh!. Used this app for years with no problem and loved it. Now every time I open it a pop- up appears telling me the list has been changed on another device (which is ridiculous!)and won’t let me use it. So frustrating! Guess I need to download a different list app now.

   You’ve been hacked. You have an iPad Pro giveaway scam popping up as a message in your app. Please fix as soon as possible. I like using your app & would normally give it a high rating, but I don’t feel safe using it currently.

   Was great, now has bugs making it unusable.. I’ve used this app for years and loved it. Recently, it brings some items I’ve checked as bought back to active (unchecked) status, loses recent unchecked items (puts them back to checked status. I’m trying to find a replacement.

8. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Awful app. A blank page comes up where you can type in a list name. There are no prompts. There are no ways to print out, etc, etc . Even though I paid an additional $2.99, it did not help. So I deleted and got Ant List app.

9. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Doesn’t sync. Got a refund from Apple. I love the design and simplicity of the application but it doesn’t sync correctly. Corresponded with the programmer about the problem but it just won’t sync. Others have the same problem. Apple refunded my $2.99. If he gets the app working I’ll purchase it again but at present it’s useless to me. I’d suggest looking elsewhere unless you’re a single user who doesn’t need to sync with another phone, then its very nice.

10. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    No longer useful. Acts like it has a mind of its own.. I have used this app for years. It is not the same. It changes to categories I did not select and ads pop up constantly. Deleting and looking elsewhere.

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    What happened?. I loved this. Used it all the time- multiple lists, easy to use. Then whatever you did changed everything. Not sure if it’s the Dropbox thing or what, but since I can’t add to lists or delete from lists, I will be deleting this and finding a different app.

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Use to work - Not anymore. Get “The list you’ve been editing has been deleted or changed by another device” error every time I use it. It is not on any other device that I have. Not worth the time it takes to download. No support. Bad app.

13. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    iCloud backup not working And.... I bought the ad free, but when I went to restore purchase from another iPhone, it didn’t work, continued to display ads. What a disappointment!!

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Dropbox ruined this app for me. I used to love this app because of its simplicity and features of being able to create shopping list categories and multiple lists. The biggie, though, simplicity, went away when Dropbox got tied into this. Now, every single time I open the app, the app directs me straight to the Internet and a drop box page, regardless of whether I am trying to share the list or not. Even when my iPhone screen goes to sleep & I wake it up again, I have to go back into the list, then get routed to dropbox again, and close it out. This is so annoying, especially when I have to close a page multiple times in the middle of grocery shopping! I searched for updates for the app and support for this issue but found none. I am deleting this app as I have switched to List Ease, which offers the same features and more, plus simplicity without pestering me with a dropbox page every few moments.

    Sorting!!. What a mess. Upgraded to iPhone8. Lists transferred over but now I cannot “edit” my lists and rearrange in any order I want. You’re required to select one of four arrangement options...DUMB! Why would you remove the rearrangement option?! MOST people shop in the order of their store isles or locations and make lists in THOSE orders! Who shops “alphabetically”?!!!

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Why do you keep asking me to review you?. Why do you keep asking me to review you? I'm delete the app just because I'm sick of every apps no stop need for approval.

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Sync is terrible. I liked this app... until I got married and needed to share/ sync. If the sync lasts 2 weeks, you're lucky. We have the same phones, 1gb internet service, and LTE everywhere we go... but for whatever reason, the sync will screw up just about every week. Reset and sometimes turning dropbox off and on will fix it, but lately nothing fixes it. Tired of it. This app is currently junk. Find a different way to sync or get rid of this annoying and useless feature. I want my money back.

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Can't customize items. This app didn't work for me. To add grocery items you needed to only pick what's on their list of options. You can't just type 'large zip lock bags' because it's not on the list and won't accept it.

19. ★★★★★an update broke a familiar workflow

    Bleh. Loved the older version, newer version not so much. Cannot change themes (dark theme is hard to read with my eyes) and also I bought the ad free and I still get ads and also have to link to drop box!?! I do not like this new version of this app.

20. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    very unstable. avoid this app !!! there are SEVERAL OTHERS which are free & vastly superior ...PERIOD

21. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Needs sub categories. This is just a list app. It's not any better than Notes on my iPhone. It would be useful to me if I could group lists by grocery store and save items that I buy frequently or check things off as I buy them. I don't recommend this app. It's redundant to Notes.

22. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Simply The Best. Easy to organize, easy to use. This is a "comfortable" app which you will use everyday and it will simplify your use of time.

23. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

    Portrait only. Need a version for iPad that allows for landscape view for those who only use their iPads in that view because of things like attached keyboards.

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Hate the ads!. I liked this app before the update. Easy place to have all kinds of lists. Now my lists are overrun with ads that don't even pertain to me...and sometimes where they pop up you can't see all of your list. Distracting. I'm deleting it.

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Do NOT update the app. The update adds advertising in your list.

26. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    NOT WORKING. App not working now since update

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Help. Help! New update will not complete and I cannot delete app - iPhone 6

28. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    LovED the app, but CRASHES!!!. I thought the simple app that I LOVED and used every week was having an issue so I went on and purchased the 2.99 one. Still doesn't work! I hope they don't charge me for the updated one when it isn't even working!!!! So disappointed! Please FIX!!!

29. ★★★★★an update broke a familiar workflow

    Crashes. Unusable with new update.. Please fix this app. Now useless. Crashes if trying to add new item or even just activate one on a shopping list. Pls fix ASAP.

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Bad update. Please fix update. App closes every time you try to add an item. Hurry and fix!!!
