Leave a Review Supermarket Swap
Needs improvements
Great concept, but the value isn’t there yet.
I shop mostly online, and the Coles/Woolworths apps show me “my specials” each week. Since I already purchase additive free foods, this feature is all I need really. Maybe this app is good for someone who is trying to make more swaps, but even then, after a couple weeks you wouldn’t need the app anymore. Or, just use the free content Supermarket Swap and other pages offer on Instagram
What would be better is if this app suggested recipes based on the weekly specials!!
Another massive flaw is the lack of proofreading in the recipes. The amount of times recipe instructions call for an ingredient that is not in the ingredients list is so frustrating. I’ve made so many last minute trips to get ingredients to successfully cook the recipe. This wastes both my time and money. On the flip side, there are sometimes ingredients in the list that aren’t even included in the instructions! So I end up missing that it needs to be included, and that item gets wasted.
I’ve wasted way more money due to this than any sort of cost savings this app claims to provide. Especially since I’ve subscribed for $100 for the year.Show lessBlbowers
Ok if you shop at Woolies
The developer shops at Woolies and you can tell as the majority of the limited products in this Ap are from Woolworths. For example, almost every Woolworths bakery bread is listed but only one from
Coles when most of them are additive free. Another example is cheese. You can find Woolies mozzarella, slices, blocks etc but not for Coles. I kindly asked the developer many months ago if there were plans to expand the range for Coles and it was suggested I should send the products in so they could be added. This defeats the purpose of laying a hefty annual fee! The Ap itself is clunky and often freezes when scrolling. My annual subscription is soon due to renew however I will pass as none of these issues have been addressed in the last two years of subscribing.Show lessE*e*
Gamechanger
I loved this app before because of its planning functionality, but now it’s simply a necessity as the cost of living starts to hit. I would never have thought I’d be an Aldi shopper, but here we are. The Easy Eats are BRILLIANT and I feel so great knowing I’m making better, simpler - and more often than not - more economical changes. Thank you for all your hard work #ss team!Show lessFoodie Golightly
Best app for finding clean and healthy foods
I use this app multiple times a week. It helps me to plan my shops and meals and I know the information is correct and presented beautifully. All the hard work of deciphering labels and ingredients has been taken care of and I can shop more quickly now I know what is safe and good for my diet and general health. Well done Nabs and the SS team! You have a subscriber for life.Show lessCIQM11
It is good but could be better.
This is a good app, however I feel for the price each month there should be more Aldi options we can look at. Right now it is limited. If they could give information on where to get good chicken/meat/lamb depending on Aldi Coles or Woolworths, that would be great. Using the tick button to add your list, sometimes it doesn’t work for me and it isn’t clear from the first instance if I clicked it or not. If shopping lists could be accessed easily that would be great. Costco is another option to add. I generally subscribe for a month then unsubscribe then subscribe again unless I need to. This app could do betterShow lessMElizMath
Disappointing
What the app is supposed to offer is fantastic and it worked for me for a day but since I have not been able to search a single item to find the best bread, butter etc. the app itself isn’t doing what it is supposed to be which is incredibly disappointing considering I’ve spent $13 to search items and I can’t.
I have contacted customer service who have told me to close the app and start again which Worked initially but now no items on their database are loading. A lot of emailing and time spent for an app that’s just not doing what it’s supposed to.Show lessJess7535784
It’s ok- good recipes
Most disappointing of all is the constant recommendation of imported meat and goods that are easily replaced with Australian made/grown- why support imported meat and produce?
The content on preservatives and additives is great, but once you get used to what products work for you, it’s not really needed anymore. I used it for the first week now I know what to avoid.
Unless you shop and Woolies or Coles and your stores actually stock items, the ‘specials’ feature is very quickly frustrating and useless, unless you plan your meals based on the specials rather than the other way around.
The recipes are great, and we have enjoyed trying new ones.
Won’t be renewing though.Show lessJuliamer
Disappointing
You have to creat an account to find out you have to pay for absolutely everything!! I know nothing in life is free but you don’t even get 24 hour limited access to see if it’s worth your money. I feel like I’ve had a look at the app in it infancy and there was a lot more available information but it was glitchy with not many child specific products, so I’ve come back to find there’s now nothing available other than subscription based content. I’m not paying to find out if you do or don’t have what I’m specifically after.
Why would anyone pay for a service you may not be able to provide.?
I’ve been on your Instagram page (obviously) and there’s little in what I’m after so naturally I’ve come to your “hub” of information. I guess I’ll never know 🥲Show lesseasy_to_please_
Simply Useful
I pride myself on being pretty savvy with what products have questionable ingredients in them. But have I learnt a thing or two and was extremely surprised, for example, did you know that cream cheese in the container not the block has additives!!!
I love the specials that are downloaded each Wednesday and you can search additives by numbers and they tell you what they are. It’s a very well thought out, helpful and trustworthy app that you find you will return to again and again.
Another thing the app added was a meal planner and recipe of the week, game changer in my opinion. Honestly this app makes shopping so much easier than reading lists and the added bonus of recipes and a weekly meal plan. This for me is the most used and useful app on my phone.
Do yourself a favor and subscribe.Show lessReliquaire
Life changing!
This app has changed the way I look at food for the better. To have this app so readily available to make better choices for my health is truly life changing. I’ve noticed a massive difference in making simple swaps to foods without additives, my overall health & wellbeing has improved significantly and as someone with coeliac disease, this is very important. I highly recommend following the supermarket swap page on Instagram to get the full benefits of the app! Thanks so much to Nabs and her team for educating us to make better food choices.Show lessSelandcraig
