Shopping App lands on iOS
Twelve years after the first Android version, the iPhone app goes live: native SwiftUI, voice input and a Home Screen widget.
After more than a decade as an Android-only app, the Shopping App is finally on iOS. The App Store listing went live today: the same simple lists and voice input, now on the iPhone as well.
Built native, not ported
This isn’t a webview wrapped in a shell. The iOS app is fully native SwiftUI, written from the ground up to feel like an iOS app should:
- Sharp typography with the system fonts
- Proper context menus, swipe actions, and pull-to-refresh
- Light and dark mode that follows your system setting
- A Home Screen widget so your next list is one glance away
Voice input that actually works
Voice has been the centerpiece of the Android app for years. On iOS I’m using Apple’s on-device speech recognition — fast, offline, and private. You can dictate a whole list (“milk, two avocados, basil, sourdough”) and it parses items, quantities, and categories on the fly.
How to get it
Tap the Download button at the top of this page and pick the App Store. Free to install. Please note: the iPhone app has its own synchronization. Lists from the Android app are not transferred automatically and syncing between Android and iPhone is not possible at the moment.
Fourteen years is a long time to wait. Thank you for being patient.
