My wife and I share the same account to have the same info available on all our devices. This means shopping lists too and thanks to the lightning fast sync our shopping has become distributed, effectively halving the time we spent at the store.

We tried several other apps and this one is worth every penny. Some of my favourite features: - Customize aisles - Auto stacking in shopping list - Clickable timers - Custom import from web - Well working scaling

Strongly recommending this app to anyone.

Sidenote: If available, use a portable scanner at the store. This reduces the amount of times you touch an item significantly, speeding up the experience.

Sidenote 2: To make auto stacking in the shopping list work the item name needs to be identical. We found that separating ingredient from processing works best. So 2 kg potatoes as ingredient and cutting in half in the directions instead of 2 kg of potateos cut in half as ingredient.
