Just List vs. Apple Reminders

Apple Reminders is built into every iPhone, it's free, and its grocery lists sort themselves. The catch shows up when a list has to leave the Apple world: everyone you share with needs an Apple Account with Reminders in iCloud. Just List works the same on iPhone, Android and the web, from one link.

What Apple Reminders does well

  • Already on your iPhone, free, and synced across your Apple devices.
  • Grocery lists sort items into categories like Produce on their own.
  • Reminders by time or place (arriving or leaving).
  • In a shared list you can assign items to people and get an alert when something is added or completed.
