Jotalicious is a beautifully-designed shopping assistant that turns plain text lists into color-coded checklists of awesome. It works the way a shopping assistant on your phone should – you create lists just like you are jotting a note to yourself and Jotalicious organizes your lists into sortable, taggable checklists. When Jotalicious finds the name of a place next to an item in your list – for example, "Fresh Herbs @Farmers Market" – it automatically tags and adds the item to a virtual shopping list for that place too. If typing is just too old school for you, use your device's voice dictation* feature to speak your lists into Jotalicious – say the phrase, "New Line" to separate each item on your list and Jotalicious does the rest. It's good to share, and with Jotalicious it's even better. Jotalicious is on the spot with AirDrop, AirPrint, text message, and email sharing support. You can send text copies of your lists to anyone or you can share a "jot", which can be imported, complete with tags, by other Jotalicious users. And all of those text lists people send you – or lists you find on your favorite blog or elsewhere – can be pasted into Jotalicious to create new lists effortlessly – just copy text and paste awesome! Jotalicious is shopping list bliss – after you dictate, paste, or jot your first list, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it. (*NOTE: Voice Dictation is not available on all devices. If your device supports voice dictation, you will see a microphone icon next to the spacebar when your device displays a keyboard.)

Best app of this sort, but...

I have tried a lot of apps for shopping (primarily grocery), and, in my experience, Jotalicious beats them all, hands down. I love that I can put all of my shopping trips and lists in one place and not have to delete anything each time. And, when I had a question, the developers were quick and courteous. This app is worthy of five stars, but there are two things I hope the developers will change.The first is that the instructions are not very good, and what I could find in the way of help is sorely lacking. I have used this app for almost two years without ever really understanding how terrific it really is. Through dumb luck, I figured out just how good this app truly is. Granted, there are probably a lot of other people who could have figured out this app much quicker than I did. But, not everybody thinks the same and not everybody is intuitive when it comes to apps (apparently, I am one of those, lol). #2: It would be a great help to me if the app could tell me how much I am spending on just the items I still need; currently, it includes EVERY item for which I have entered a price in the app. Not helpful. Idea: When using a Places list (e.g., Costco), it would be very helpful if the two figures at the top of the screen (the "purchased of" amounts) were controlled by the All, Got It, and Need It buttons. So, if I go into my Costco list and tap Need It, those two figures at the top would change to reflect solely the prices of the items still showing. Likewise, tapping All or Got It would do the same for those two lists, respectively. I like to know how much money I am spending each time I go to the store. With this feature, I would gladly rate Jotalicious a 10 (and if that were possible).

I’ve been using this app to keep many different lists. I love that I can email the list to this who might need it. The ability to sort different ways is helpful. One suggestion is to be able to sort by place. Another suggestion which would be a search tool. My grocery list is quite long so it takes a while to find what I need.
Love it

I have given it a quick test and so far it looks to be just what I want it simple voice dictated and beautiful in one package.I hope that when I feel like writing my next review on this app thatit will continue to live up to its claims, my initial impressions and continue to improve. But for now, i'm very impressed.Thank you developer for a nice, intuitive, attractive and most of all useful app.

It’s a very useful app and it does help me create organized shopping lists. My only complaint and the only thing preventing from giving it five stars is how it sorts everything you input. I wish that the app would just organize your lists or items in the order you place them rather than automatically organizing everything in alphabetical order. Because when I’m done writing a list I now have to take time and reorganize everything the way I wanted, which just makes creating a list time consuming.
