Zenbe Lists for iPhone

Zenbe is a list manager that is web-enabled that allows for syncing and sharing of lists. To use Zenbe to synchronize your lists, you have to register on their website but that is a quick and relatively easy process.

The one main thing that we use Zenbe for is for grocery shopping in 2 different ways.

First, Zenbe allows to share lists, which means that if there are 2 people who have Zenbe on their iPhones, 1 of them can share the list with another person via an e-mail invite and that list ends up on the Zenbe iPhone app of the other person. It's a very clean and brilliant process.

Second, now that the list is shared, either user can update the list and their changes will be synchronized each time they start up the Zenbe app, or they can manually sync.

This means that my wife can start creating a shopping list at the beginning of the week and share that list with me. Each of us might think of something to add to the shopping list for the end of the week and we can add things to the list, sync up, and the other person will have an up-to-date list. This also helps prevent us from entering the same item twice now that we are looking at essentially the same list on 2 different devices.

Not only that, when it comes time to go shopping, if we're in a hurry, we might split up tackle the shopping list separately. We can then check off items as we grab them and sync up. That way, each of us won't end up grabbing the same item.

We've found that Zenbe is an essential tool for list-making.
