Same here. One feature I would like is to be able to change where your shopping list goes as I do not particularly enjoy using the Alexa app.

I had the same problem with google home. I already had a shared (with the SO) google keep note for my shopping list. I wrote a google keep integration with an IFTTT app to solve this, letting me do a "OK Google, we need X" to add X to the list.

When I first got a Google home, the keep integration was built in. And then they moved it to Google Express shopping list, suddenly, which was infuriating. Ended up using ifttt with Asana. Will try with keep as I preferred keep for shared shopping and Todo lists.

It's possible to access the list via their API so theoretically you could build your own solution. I agree the Alexa app is not good for accessing the lists.

You can do this. I have mine set up to use Todoist. You need to add the appropriate skill and then link the account.

try https://getbring.com/#!/app - it has an Alexa integration. Me and my wife use it together.
4. Shopping List.
And that's a killer feature for me; it's so damn convenient to use a voice interface to add items to the shopping list as you run out of item that I'd probably replace it just for that.
