I'm looking for a grocery list app or a general to-do app that can function as a grocery list. Specifically, I'd like one that remembers all the items that I've entered in the past so I can scroll through them and select ones that I want to re-add or get suggestions when I'm typing. Ideally that would be the only thing it does -- I'd prefer that the app didn't try to be "smart" and automatically categorize items by type of food or whatever.

I've been using the app Silo for this, and it's very close to what I want aside from two things. The list of previously-added items is sorted by the last time you checked it off the list with no option to sort alphabetically, which makes it very difficult to find what I'm looking for. It also doesn't provide suggestions when you're typing in a new item.

There's gotta be something like this out there already, but there are so many of these kinds of apps out there that it's hard to sort through them all.

My SO and I use Shopping List by hensoft. As you type in items it will list past items that match. The biggest draw for us is you can set up list sync so she can put stuff on the list and it will update my app.

EDIT: I think they have a 'lite' version so you might be able to test to see if it meets your needs.

Hilarious if you think that any weather pattern that matters is predictable with certainty for more than an hour.

In other words, enjoy the widget 5x the size that reports it will be sunny all day with a beautiful background of a sun!

Any Weather thing that doesn't give me a rain percentage chance for the day is totally useless, as that's all I care about.

Add GroceryIQ to the pile. Has a history, though it looks to be sorted by store aisle, but is searchable. As a bonus, it has a website that you can use to enter stuff and set your own categories if you don't want to use your phone for big lists.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I tried them all out, and I'm not a big fan of any of the UIs other than Wunderlist unfortunately, and it doesn't have the functionality that I want. The other ones do, and Grocery Gadget is the closest to what I'm looking for, but it still has a ton of extra features that I don't want. I'm considering switching over to it anyways, but in the mean time I'm gonna keep searching.

I actually used to use Paprika, it's great for recipes! I had never tried the grocery list functionality so I re-downloaded it, and it does seem nice but doesn't actually do what I'm looking for. There's no way to scroll through previously-entered items, and autocomplete suggestions are pulled from their database rather than what you've typed in before. Their database is at least better than Grocery Gadget's, for which five of the first six suggestions for typing in "juice" are different kinds of "baby juice", but it's still not what I want unfortunately. Thanks though!

Isn't this "all" pane what you're looking for? That's what I use for refreshing staples.

Do you have remember password clicked on the login screen?

Tried it both enabling remember password on the login screen and in the settings, and I've never seen the TouchID prompt anywhere but the Safari extension. It's pretty disappointing, since I'd be comfortable having the app save my LP master password with biometric access, but not with a simple 4 digit PIN. :sigh:

Edit: just browsed around on the LP forums, and according to a post by a LP dev, this is actively being worked on, so I guess we just need to wait a bit.

It's pretty close, but the grouping by category sort of kills it for me unfortunately.

I'm pretty surprised that there doesn't seem to be any good list apps with those features. Maybe I'll make one myself since it'd be dead easy.

Try Our Groceries. My wife and I use it all the time. Remembers stuff, lets you un-cross things off the list, stores what you've added, has multiple lists (we use that feature for different stores), lets you re-order items, and DOESN'T group them! Has banner ads that are easily ignored and can be disabled by IAP.

I've had this weird safari bug on my mini retina that I haven't seen anyone post in here:

Intermittently when I do a Google search from the url bar, I can't click links or page elements until I scroll.

So, google "dogs" (I do this constantly) and sometimes nothing can be clicked until I scroll down and up.

Anyone else run into this? I'm thinking it seems rare enough that a restore should clear it up.

Chase has said cards branded by others (in this case Amazon) remain under the control of the branding entity for deals like this. Consensus seems to believe Amazon views Apple as a competitor, more in the realm of mobile payments than phones, and doesn't want to cooperate, possibly vice versa.

Yes, one of the largest - if not the largest - online retailers of books, music, software, and movies deciding not to help a company that directly competes with it in those fields to launch a new and potentially extremely lucrative payment model is just loving moronic.

Clearly the people who run Amazon know nothing about how to conduct business.

Infuse 3 has just been updated to support iOS 8 and the iPhone 6/6+. They also added support for DTS so you can literally play just about ANY type of video with it now.

I'm still comparing video players for iOS but this one seems like the one to beat.

It's been enough for some of us. :v:

Background app refresh and push notifications are separate things. You can have both, one, or neither, as your preferences dictate.

I'm not entirely sure what the hell Facebook does with Background App Refresh (other than consume battery), but it's apparently not anything I care about. The checkins feature nobody on the face of earth uses, maybe?

It's because the Facebook app engages in a poo poo ton of sneaky tracking behaviors, as recently outlined in the post:

Hopefully this does the trick. At least it forced me to look through the background app refresh page in settings. There were maybe two apps I cared about leaving on.
