Quick answers

Does ShopList sync lists with other people?

Yes. You can share a list through iCloud and edit item titles, quantities, comments, and purchased state together. Personal fields such as price, category, translation, and photos stay local to each user.

Does ShopList require an account?

ShopList does not require a separate app account. Shared lists require the participants to use iCloud because sharing is handled by Apple iCloud.

Can I share an empty list?

Not for the first share. Add at least one item, then share the list again. If an empty list was already shared in version 2.0 and accepting or preparing it is stuck, the owner should add an item, close the old shared access, and create a new link. The participant should delete the old stuck copy and accept the new link.

Can I keep editing a shared list while offline?

Yes. Approved shared changes stay visible locally and are sent when connection returns. The app shows a lightweight pending or offline state when needed.

What happens if shared access is closed?

The shared list is no longer active for the member. ShopList shows a short access-closed message and cleans up the unavailable shared list instead of silently creating a local copy.

Where are backups saved?

In-app backups are saved as .shoplistbackup files. You can find them in Files under iCloud Drive > ShopList, or On My iPhone > ShopList when iCloud Drive is not available.

Does restore merge data?

No. A restore replaces the current ShopList data after confirmation.

Why do location or notification reminders need permission after restore?

iOS permissions are controlled by the device. ShopList can restore reminder settings, but the device may still require location or notification permission before reminders work.

Can I open a backup file directly?

Yes. You can open a .shoplistbackup file with ShopList and confirm restore inside the app.
