Grocery Shopping List- screenshot thumbnail

Capitan is the first smart, free grocery shopping list app that saves you both time and trips to the grocery store. A smooth, breezy interface allows you to easily create and share shopping lists with friends or family in a matter of seconds. Have your grocery list set up? Good. Capitan instantly groups items by categories and aisles of specific stores allowing you to be in and out of the market in time for dinner.

Powered by AI, the app learns your habits and will suggest items that you normally buy or that are running low in your pantry when near them in the store. What’s more, Capitan keeps you connected: smart notifications alert you whenever someone in your network is approaching a grocery store in case you want to request an item last-minute.

Thanks to Capitan, those “Oh, I forgot to tell you to buy bread” moments are now a thing of the past.

Syncing works beautifully, unlike several other lists I've tried. This alone makes Capitan stand out, and has become my daily driver. Great job! Suggested improvements: 1. Need to add/edit categories. The defined ones don't map well to my store. 2. Need to be able to change categories on pre-defined foods - many don't match where they are in my store. 3. Need to edit history to remove misspelled or one-time items.

Had this app for iPhone and it was amazing. Enter an item and it was automatically categorized. Android version puts everything in the "other" category which completely defeats the point of this app. I've patiently waited for updates but no go. I'm sorry devs- it's a deal breaker until fixed.

Expected more It's not as intuitive as I thought... I entered cheddar cheese, and it was categorized as "other". Also, you couldn't add prices!

I thought that I was going to loooove this app. I had been looking for such an app that would also sync with AndroidWear and that would be cross device and cross platform (my wife uses an iPhone). The app is beautiful but bug ridden (items do not sync properly with watch), lacks essential functions (like adding own category) and, worst of all, does not provide customer support. Sorry guys, I really really tried ("Jesica" or whomever reads your email should know).

More intuitive features needed Hi. You can only add one location to the store. As we travel from home to work we could pass a few different stores that are in the same chain. We should be able to add more than one location. You should be able to add an estimated time a product will last so you get reminders the week before

This new update is horrible Is much less user friendly after the update

Utterly disgusting This app UI is horrendous and not user friendly at all. Everything about it was not good at all...

Eric Widhalm March 19, 2017

Only one I ever use. But my "checked" lists get pretty long, and I really wish I could sort them.

Joel Van Goor April 2, 2017

Very counter-intuitive

Nice list; quirky to share but it works Cons: Should check off only in box, not in item. Delete should have confirmation. Edit should allow name. Add, edit categories. [For Android]

Peter Rudnicky December 4, 2015

Love it! No more slips of paper for grocery lists. Checking an item off the list is good, especially when shopping multiple stores. Really like being able to uncheck an item when creating a new list so I don't have to retype an item repeatedly.

John Maguire November 20, 2015

Has great potential but missing a lot of necessary features such as: * Quantity / Weight * Price * Should be able to set the correct Category/add new one when appears in Other * Should be able to set the Store/location area for a list so not getting notifications for every grocery store * ability to Ping member/s of list to remind them It also sends too many notifications when creating a list if adding multiple items. I find this to be very irritating. With these additions/improvements It would be a must have app!

Jill Lloyd November 19, 2015

Poorly organized I get the feeling this app was made by men that don't do the grocery shopping. Like, cat litter is under household and not pets. Cream and butter do not go under dairy. Some items you can change their category and others not. To me Produce is fruits and veggies, yet they have it as 3 separate entities. Also there is no world isle. Wine goes under other..it just goes on and on. Nice idea if it worked. I have yet to figure out how to change categories to match the order of aisles in your store.

Need Cost Calculator Great list maker, but I need a grocery or list for calculator with it so I can determine if I am in budget or not.

Joel Miller November 20, 2015

Still Drains Battery Drains battery even with near store notifications off.

Capitan Inc October 30, 2015

Thanks for you response. We just fixed it. Go to settings and turn off "Near to Store, high quality(GPS)" notifications. It is available in version 1.1.2. Have a nice shopping ;)

Kayler Moura November 23, 2015

Great idea! Amazing app. I'm using it in Brazil. Congratulations! Go ahead...

Morgan Erickson November 11, 2015

Why? Why does the list screen show items under the list name that are crossed off?

Rob Gillum November 5, 2015

Crashes when opening list. Good idea though. Needs work.

Tim Adkins November 3, 2015

Crashes when going into List.

Roy Zesch November 1, 2015

It seems like a great idea. I love being able to share a grocery list with my wife. But I don't need a notification every time she adds an item to the list. Let me decide which notifications to get. It doesn't seem to have affected battery life, but I blocked it from using position info. It is better since recent updates, but I still get notifications every time my wife adds an item to the list. Dev has been very responsive.

Capitan Inc October 30, 2015

Thanks for you response. We just fixed it. Go to settings and turn off "Near to Store, high quality(GPS)" notifications. It is available in version 1.1.2. Have a nice shopping ;)

Heidi Kunkel November 1, 2015

Category chaos I'd like to be able to move all items between categories, not just the items I've added to the database. Corn is only under canned, but I buy it fresh on the cob. Chorizo and ham are listed under dairy and eggs, as is "cheese", but if I specify which cheese it goes into the cheese category. I'd also like to be able to create my own categories like "bulk" and maybe "farmers market".

Capitan Inc November 1, 2015

Thanks for your report. We found the problem and fixed it. Check this out again. Try to add product with internet connection. And database will be updated ;) Sorry about it.

Misty Edilson November 1, 2015

Better for sure! No checkmark. It deletes the item when touched rather than checking it off.

Capitan Inc October 25, 2015

Hi Misty! Thanks for your report. When you tap at product, the product moves down to "Checked" category. You always can expand "Checked" category and uncheck it back. Please, check this out ;)

Arcady Genkin October 31, 2015

*UPDATE* The developers responded by fixing the high GPS usage, so the app is no longer a battery hog. Good job! My next missing feature is the ability to edit the shopping list through on my desktop - would be nice to have a web interface in addition to the mobile app. *Initial review* This app is at the top of the list of battery consuming apps on my phone. The interface is lovely, thought, would be a real shame if the battery consumption is not fixed soon.

Capitan Inc October 30, 2015

Thanks for you response. We just fixed it. Go to settings and turn off "Near to Store, high quality(GPS)" notifications. It is available in version 1.1.2. Have a nice shopping ;)

Matthew Troia October 31, 2015

***updated*** Nice! Had a couple of issues that were quickly addressed by the dev. Works as expected now. Nice organization, beautiful design. Looking forward to tablet compatibility.

Capitan Inc October 31, 2015

Thanks for your report. We just fixed problem with contacts. It is done and works great. Please check this out. What about authorinzing and sync across devices. You could go to Profile screen. Then update your email. And when you will make new install app to other device with equal email account. It will synchronize. Have a nice usage.

Diane Palmer October 30, 2015

Seems okay so far But why the lack of diversity with the avatars? Only white people are using this?

Capitan Inc October 31, 2015

Sorry about it. We will change it in near future.

Nico Brandes October 26, 2015

Great idea I do miss the option of disabling the notifications that I'm near a shop, and some control over which shops would be great as well. Right now I get notified for every dairy I walk by, rather annoying. Also the battery drain seems rather large for what is essentially a shopping list app.

Capitan Inc October 30, 2015

Thanks for you response. We just fixed it. Go to settings and turn off "Near to Store, high quality(GPS)" notifications. It is available in version 1.1.2. Have a nice shopping ;)

Steven Briggs October 25, 2015

That was quick. A same-day update resolved crashing and contacts issue. I'll need time to use and share for film review.

Capitan Inc October 25, 2015

Thanks for your report! You are helping us to make it better! We just fixed these problems. 1. Fixed crashes. 2. And fixed problem with contacts. Please, check this out and have a nice shopping ;)

Matt Kranzler October 26, 2015

Great UI, horrible battery consumption The app has a great UI but is using location constantly which completely drained my battery.

Nikolay Yamakawa October 26, 2015

Superb App A great app to have when you are going shopping, it's like having your whole family in the pocket. Very handy!

Julienne Camungao October 25, 2015

Not synching Works better on iOS. Doesn't let me.change my number and email. Doesn't let me choose contacts with Facebook

Charity Moore October 25, 2015

Sharing issue It says there's an Internet connection problem when I want to share my list. If I can't share and sync then it's pretty much pointless. I can already make lists on my phone. I am connected to the Internet on my phone so it's an issue with the app itself. The developers fixed this problem within a day and it work perfectly now. Thanks!

Capitan Inc October 25, 2015

Hi Charity! Thanks for your report. We found the problem and fixed it, please try again and say us what do you think?

Jason Claypool October 25, 2015

i immediately got the same "internet connection problem", both on wifi and 4g. Fix it quickly or it's getting deleted. I don't want a robot-standard "we've fixed the problem" response, because the reviews say otherwise.

Capitan Inc October 25, 2015

Hi Jason! Thanks for your report. We just fixed the problem, you can try again. Sorry for bad experience :(

Meghan Finnegan October 24, 2015

Totally useless Won't load my contacts and will not allow me to email the list. What's the point? Deleting immediately.

Capitan Inc October 25, 2015

Hi Charity! Thanks for your report. We found the problem and fixed it, please try again. Sorry for that experience.

Gdavid Witwer October 22, 2015

Smart app, great for multi-grocery shopping! This app rocks! I always get produce at one store, bulks at another, and odds, ends, & everything else at a third. This app helps me keep track of what I need to pick up and where!

Kelsey MacNeill October 24, 2015

Doesn't work Won't load contacts and auto-created my profile (?) with inaccurate information. I invited someone to my group, and he's unable to do anything within the group. Uninstalling.

Frank Azevedo October 25, 2015

I don't see where you can edit categories. Without that I can't use this app. I entered "Roast" and it was categorized "sausage" (weird) it list s fruits and vegetables as separate categories, and that's fine, but I prefer to group both together as "Produce."

Andrey Nikishaev October 22, 2015

Awesome application! Just what i was looking for. Thanks guys)

Everett Farris October 27, 2015

High battery drain Would be nice if we could have the option to turn off searching for nearby stores and reduce battery usage. It's a shame because this seems like a very useful and great looking app.

Capitan Inc October 30, 2015

Rob Dziema October 31, 2015

Nice Concept As their database grows it may become more useful. Numerous times tried to log Broccoli Rabe and eggs only to have them sorted to other. After the beta testing is over love to try again
