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 accountWith an account
Creating lists and adding itemsYesYes
Sharing listsYes, after you enter a name or nicknameYes
Lists on another phone or in a browserNoYes, after you sign in to the same account
Lists after changing phonesThey don’t move overThey appear after you sign in
Lists after uninstalling the appThey disappear from the appThey 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.
