Shared Grocery List - Listonic

Love this app! Our family uses it often. We love the fact that if one of us adds or checks off an item we’re all notified. Basically a great group application! I don’t know what id do without it. Believe me I’ve tried every app out there and not one even comes close!! Thank you, for creating the best and easiest to use list/to do app on the market! Set up is a breeze as well! I recommend this app to families with children who can spell and up. If your in need of an app to help you organize shopping lists or any type of list for all the stores and places where you shop and run errands this is the app for you and your family. Also great for organizing items you need to pack for a trip. A list of chores for the kids to do. I could go on and on but I think it’s clear that I love this app!! I’d try it first and skip all the others that can’t do everything you need it to do without frustration. I hope this review was helpful in one way or another!!

This looked like a great option to replace the flaky, annoying Reminders app for shared lists. I downloaded it on my and my wife’s phones, transferred my lists, signed up for premium, and was pretty hopeful about it. Firstly, ads were still showing on my app. I emailed support— telling them that had signed in and hitting the premium subscription option told me I was already subscribed— and they got back to me 2 days later to tell me to make sure I was signed in. So, I sent them a bunch of screenshots and then 2 days later they got back to me to tell me it was a “server malfunction.” Ok... it happens. Less than a week later I was putting my grocery list together through the website interface. I’m guessing it has something to do with the fact that I had two browser windows open with the lists showing— my grocery list just disappears. I tried signing out and in again... still nothing. Still available in the app, so I signed in and out in the app in hopes it would re-upload it... it didn’t. I’m a software developer so I have an idea of how the back-end of systems like this work... this is either someone who doesn’t care, or has no idea what they’re doing. Someone actually charging people for a system with beta-level reliability is just sad.

This app used to work great for me and my spouse, but in the past few months it’s been failing to update lists across our devices. This isn’t just a hiccup—sometimes I’ll reload a list multiple times, even restart my phone, and it still shows the old version of the list after my spouse has checked off everything as purchased. Even this isn’t consistent, however. Seemingly at random, I’ll get multiple notifications as my spouse updates items on a list—one for every change. This was the entire reason we had the app; now we can’t ever rely on the lists being accurate and up to date, but we’ve just kept trying like lab rats getting an inconsistent reward. Clearly that’s partially on us, but I can’t believe they’re trying to sell a premium version when the basic functionality isn’t there.

This is a BRILLIANT app! Love how user friendly it is. I would love to see them add a few features — the option of including the expiration date for items and sort items by expiration date. It would be great to be able to quickly check what on my shopping list has the shortest shelf life and needs to be used first. You could even use it to keep up with what was in your fridge and how long you had until it went bad, if they included the option of adding expiration dates! But that is my one suggestion. This app is fantastic! Thank you for all of your hard work!

The app was awesome up until today 5/4/18. No idea what changed but I went to check the list that my husband and I share and it was gone. Here we are 4 hours later and we still can’t get it back. I can’t even log in. Every time I try to log in the app freezes. I tried resetting the password and logging in through Facebook. Still freezes. I have restarted my phone multiple times and also deleted the app and re-downloaded multiple times. No luck. My husband has also tried sharing the list with me multiple times but I still can’t see it. Not sure if an update messed things up or what but this is quite the hassle for something that should be so simple and worked great for months up until this point.
