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. And app also reminds you not to forget to buy items when near the store that has items in your shopping list, this is done via use of background geolocation functionality.

DISCLAIMER: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

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.

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

App includes features that require the persistent use of real-time location updates while the app is in the background, such as notifications when you approach grocery stores and supermarkets.

Pros and cons of Grocery Shopping List by Capitan app for iPhone and iPad

Grocery Shopping List by Capitan app good for

A great app for all my errands, love how easy it is to share a list or colaborate on the same one!
Really helpful app to organize myself and push me to stop by at the supermarket instead of overdoing restaurants or delivery.
This looks like a great app!! Smart layout and adjusting position of category titles on screen! Only thing is ... maybe the "delete checked items" button is a bit too handy. Usually, groceries lists are long lists that have the same items, either checked or not. Its a bit too easy now to accidentally erase all checked items, that may contain notes and custom categories and items. Also, a notification if you are about to add an existing item for a second time would be good. Syncing lists with other users is effective, but items for which one user changed the category will still appear in the other users list under the old category. Same goes for newly defined categories - they will be replaced by "other" for the rest of the users. Had to define everything on two phones to share a grocery list:( Other than that, thanks for the app!

Some bad moments

Requires access to your Facebook account, contacts, location (at all times) and be able to send you notifications. Despite all this it still doesn’t work for sharing grocery lists or reminding you when you’re near a store what you need to pick-up. It does help you to create and organize a grocery list though
To run this app, a user has to enter an email address. The company then sends a confirmation number to the email address provided and the user then enters the number into the app. I tried numerous times over several days and no confirmation email ever came. I was not able to use the app.
It seems like I cannot sort my shopping list based on stores. Certain items are only available in certain stores that I shop at. For example one store specifically carries organic items that I look for. Why cant I have a list sorted by store and geolocation? I want to be reminded about items I need when I am close to a certain store
I used Capitan with my hubby to sync our grocery lists and the Apple Watch version was great. 2 weeks ago, all my lists got deleted although I changed nothing on my devices. Sent multiple emails to the developers, havent heard back. This app used to be the best around, so yall, please work on it and bring us an update!
My list keeps on disappearing, second time now! I worked hard on this list. It still shows up in the list view with 20+ items, but once I select it theres nothing in it. The list got zapped as I was adding things to it, right before my eyes. Very poor form.
Love how easy to use this list maker app is, also loving the geo reminders when Im at the store and that app learns my frequent shopping list items
