Do I need a Listonic account?
In short, no. You can use Listonic without creating an account: make shopping lists, add items, check off what you’ve bought and share lists with other people. An account is useful when you want your lists on more than one device and don’t want to lose them when you change phones.
What an account changes
Day to day, the app works the same with or without an account. The difference is whether your lists are linked to an account you can sign in to. That decides whether you can open them on another device and whether they survive a phone change.
| Without an account | With an account | |
|---|---|---|
| Creating lists and adding items | Yes | Yes |
| Sharing lists | Yes, after you enter a name or nickname | Yes |
| Lists on another phone or in a browser | No | Yes, after you sign in to the same account |
| Lists after changing phones | They don’t move over | They appear after you sign in |
| Lists after uninstalling the app | They disappear from the app | They come back after you sign in |
When you share without an account, your name or nickname lets the other people on the list see who adds items.
