more Love the useful functions like smart sorting. I appreciate that you can share lists with an account, but the app doesn’t try to push registering on you. No ads, it making a product out of you by selling all your data, and doesn’t bug you to turn on location services. I wish every app could be like this one.

It is easy to use, has a great barcode scanner, helps you to add specials and sale items. Prices, quantities, works on multiple devices at the same time … it remembers things you bought and it is free ! Though a support is welcome and well deserved

The problem is that it doesn’t always sync to my iwatch. I’m requesting help, if they are able to fix this issue I will update my review.
