Revising my prior negative review.

This is a Great app and I have used it for several years without problems.
After the most recent major rebuild requiring deleting old app and reinstalling the new one - I just could not get it to work. Long story short, I contacted the developer who is Very Responsive and after my third attempt I finally got it right and it works great.
The down side is I lost all my “Customized Item Entries” what I have now is a pretty thorough “Smart Suggestions List” (provided with app).
I need to Customize most entries with brand names due to family members with severe allergies to Soy, Casein in Cows Milk, and Gluten. Every item I purchase requires that I read ingredient labels to avoid these allergens. I pretty much already know which brands to choose and where they can be purchased but it’s frustrating to have had an app that was working before - after several years of customizing item entries - to have to start over with recreating hundreds of hours of work just lost due to an app upgrade. It is what it is and I do appreciate the assistance provided by the developer to get the new app installed correctly and synchronizing correctly with other family members I share several lists with.
Just a heads up to anyone sharing lists with others - Don’t share by “AirDrop”! If you do it will time out frequently when syncing a list you share. AND it will then only update when you are in close proximity to each other. INSTEAD share any lists using Text Messaging or Email so the the connections will work remotely over WiFi and 4G Cellular services on your phones.

Bad update

Since the recent update a week or so ago, the program is very erratic, does not accept new items entered, and startup keeps asking me to transfer my lists to the new upgrade but then does not accept them. May look for a replacement. Unless a fix comes out soon.

Response from developer

Grocery list

Made me pay for ads free again 😡
Other than that I love the app

What happend

Went to use it, had to update it. App was stuck in transfer files mode. Ended up with multiple copies where none of them worked. Was a good app. No I am fighting to get my phone back in order. There had to be a better way for an update that didn’t break it.

Won’t sync with Apple Watch

The old version was better, this new one won’t sync with my watch anymore even though I have deleted and tried again. Disappointing

Response from developer

Thank you for your support! Please update to the latest version

Sudden change of App

This was handled very poorly. Didn’t discover change till at Grocery store, where there was no internet available. Hopeless.
And unable to transfer any of several other lists to new App so have to start again.
Any other reckless changes planned?
