Your grocery list on Apple Watch

Plenty has an Apple Watch app for the moment your hands are full of shopping. It shows your lists, how many items are left, and the next item to get at the top. Tap an item to tick it off; the tick syncs back to your iPhone and to everyone else in the household.

The watch app needs watchOS 10 or later. It gets its lists from Plenty on your iPhone, so open Plenty on the iPhone once after installing. You install it from the Apple Watch app on your iPhone or from the App Store on the watch.

What the watch app does not do

You cannot add items on the watch. Add them on iPhone or iPad, by typing, voice or barcode, and they appear on the watch.
