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?

Yes. In ShopList 2.0.2 you can share a list before adding items. The participant can accept it as a normal shared list, add the first item later, and the list stays shared if it becomes empty again.

Can I delete or remove a shared list?

Yes. Owners can delete a shared list from list editing; ShopList closes shared access first, and participants' apps clean up the unavailable list. Participants remove a shared list from list editing without affecting the owner or others.

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The shared list is no longer active for the member.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.
