A shared shopping list that's always up to date

The list on a scrap of paper gets left at home; the one on a single phone nobody else sees. The answer is a shared, synced list.

The trouble with scraps of paper

Who added what? Who already bought the milk? Without a shared list you buy the same thing twice or forget the essentials.

How a shared list works

Everyone adds items from their own phone; ticks them off as they go into the cart; and everyone sees the same updated list. No more "didn't you get it?".

Even offline

In the supermarket the connection is often missing: a good app works offline and syncs when the signal returns.

Frequently asked questions

How do you share a family shopping list?

With an app that syncs the same list across several phones, so everyone sees and updates the same items.

Does the list work without a connection?

A good app works offline and syncs as soon as the signal returns, handy in the supermarket.

Can you tick off what's already bought?

Yes: everyone ticks items off as they go, and the update shows on all devices.
