That Shopping List

Price: Free / $5.49 per item

That Shopping List is another easy shopping list app. It does the basics quite well. You add items to the list as usual and delete them when you buy them.

TickTick has a simple UI, reminders, and other to-do list-style features. The free version has limited access to all of the features. Most people should do just fine with the free version. The premium version adds some extra stuff, but it’s only really needed if you need some seriously hardcore features.

Grocery store apps

Price: Free (usually)

Some grocery store apps have grocery list functionality. The list is fairly long and contains several regional and national grocery store chains. Thus, you may have to search Google Play a bit for the stores nearest to you. Usually, these apps have coupons and deals for items around the store, a grocery store list function, and a store locator. Sometimes, you can pay a small fee to have an employee do your shopping for you. You pick it up when it’s ready.

The features usually vary, and sometimes, they don’t include a list at all. It’s a bit random. However, if you go to the same place every time, you should look for your store’s official app.

Cooking and recipe apps

Price: Free (usually)

There are many cooking apps and recipe apps out there. Many of them do the basics, like showing you recipes and letting you save recipes for future use. Some of them have videos, high-resolution images, and other such features. Many of them also have a shopping list feature. You can look at a recipe and immediately add those ingredients to the list and whatever else you need. Most would likely prefer a to-do list or note-taking style app for these things.
