List

[Wotchered]

Does anybody know of an app that is only a simple list ? and does not offer suggestions ? all I need is something I can type, milk,spuds,gin, garlic, etc.
I have tried a couple of these before and they were wildly overcomplicated, tried to organise the disorganised and offered hundreds of products I wouldn’t touch with a barge pole,if I could even buy them in the UK.
All I need is basically a household notepad, that I won’t leave at home, in the car,whatever. why is this so hard ? Notes is ok but all I want is one simple list.

Have you tried reminders?

I would ditto the Reminders suggestion.

It will offer you to remind when a certain situation occurs, but you don’t have to accept that suggestion. In that latter case, it will act like a simple list.

Yep. The native Reminders app should suit your needs.

I agree that either the Reminders or Notes App would work well for you. I've used both for similar tasks and have been satisfied.

Coincidentally, I got this tip via email yesterday that gives a good tutorial on how to create lists in the Notes App:

I thought you might like to check out iPhone Life's Tip of the Day. Today's tip is "Love lists? Learn how to make a checklist in the Notes app.." Check it out here: http://www.iphonelife.com/content/how-create-do-lists-notes

Microsoft’s To Do. Free and ad free. Also able to share with others. Wife and I specifically use it for grocery list.

It will also push updates, so if I’m making groceries, my wife can add onions to the list and I’ll come home with onions.

We use Notes for our grocery shopping list
You can add checkboxes as an option

I would like to thank you all for your help !
I went back to notes and looked at it again, the new ( to me) Quick Notes
seems to do what I wanted very well, although I’d rather have it as a stand alone app.
I suppose it’s too simple.
