How to use Listonic on Apple Watch

Listonic on Apple Watch works together with the app on your iPhone and is available with Premium. In the store, you check off items on your watch without taking out your phone, and you prepare your lists on your iPhone.

Set up Listonic on your watch

The watch app installs automatically together with Listonic on the iPhone your Apple Watch is paired with. It works on watches with watchOS 10 or later: Apple Watch Series 4 and newer, every Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Ultra.

Step by step3 steps
  1. Open Listonic on your watch.
  2. When you see the welcome screen, open Listonic on your iPhone and keep both devices close together.
  3. Wait for the watch to connect to your phone and download your lists.

Without Premium, your watch shows Upgrade to Premium. You can buy or restore Premium in the app on your iPhone. If you don’t have any lists yet, your watch asks you to create one on your iPhone. You’ll also find information about Listonic on Apple Watch on your iPhone in Settings , under Integrations → Apple Watch.

What you can do on the watch

The watch version has what’s useful in the store when one hand is holding a basket. On your watch, you can:

  • Check off items with one tap: a checked-off item stays in place for a moment so you can uncheck it, and then it moves to the bought items.
  • Uncheck all bought items at once: handy when you want to reuse the same list next time.
  • Add items by voice, by typing or from suggestions: after adding an item, you go back to the list.
  • Delete items you no longer need.
  • See changes right away: the list on your watch syncs with your iPhone, also when someone else adds an item to a shared list.
  • Open a list from your watch face: touch and hold the watch face, tap Edit and add Listonic.

You do everything else on your iPhone. That’s where you create, share and delete lists and change item details, such as quantity and note. The watch doesn’t show categories, photos or prices.

Settings on the watch

You open settings by tapping the gear icon  in the top-left corner of the lists screen. There you’ll find:

  • Refresh data: tap it to sync your watch with your iPhone right away. Below it, you can see the time of the last successful sync, or a message if refreshing fails.
  • Help & feedback: your watch asks you to continue in Listonic on your iPhone and opens the contact options there.
  • Version: the version number of Listonic on your watch.

Lists don’t show up on the watch

Step by step4 steps
  1. Check that your lists are visible in Listonic on your iPhone.
  2. Open Listonic on both your iPhone and your watch and keep the devices close together.
  3. In the watch settings, tap Refresh data and check that an up-to-date sync time appears below it.
  4. Check in the iPhone app that your Premium is active.

If your lists still don’t show up, contact us: in the watch settings, choose Help & feedback, and on your iPhone tap Something isn’t right . Add the name of the missing list and describe what you see on the watch.
