Might be something wrong on your side. Reason is that I've used iCloud for more than a decade. At first it was a bit rough, but it's been rock stable the last 5-6 years. I also use it for grocery lists between my wife and I.
And we're in South Africa, so not even as close to iCloud's main servers as you are (presumably).
- gorpigo 3y agoAs far as I know Apple just uses AWS for hosting. Not sure what regions but it’s likely you’re connecting to on in Cape Town or somewhere in Europe
- ThePowerOfFuet 3y agoThey use GCP as well.
- sgt 3y agoWe have AWS in Cape Town and GCP in Johannesburg.
- mtts 3y agoDo you only update your grocery lists at home or in places with good WiFi? Because I can reliably cause iCloud to choke if network coverage is less than excellent (a plausible use case for grocery lists, I’d imagine). Dropbox, on the other hand, doesn’t bat an eye.
- sgt 3y agoSo she sends me a shared note on iMessage, I usually only click on it once I am physically in the store. Then I check the "boxes" and she can see it in near real time. Often she's typing additions to the list as I'm using it, which is a cool feature. Not as rapid as e.g. Google Docs would be, I think. This is not on WiFi as I just use 3G, 4G or 5G (whatever is available) when doing shopping.
- addicted 3y agoA shared iMessage note is the scariest thing ever. I’ll tap on it and it will only open like 50% of the time.
- cdelsolar 3y agoMy wife and I found Notion works great for grocery lists or other household planning stuff.
