Groceries Grocery List User Reviews

Lifesaver!

After looking for and downloading many grocery apps, I found the one! This app is AWESOME. I like the options and the ability to customize my lists. My only problem is with my latest download, my icon disappeared. I'm glad to see that it didn't just happen to me. Hopefully, this will be fixed soon.

still enjoying it

I have looked at other lists, both before and after purchasing and this seems to be the best still. I'm loving the new features, and I love how much time and money this app has saved me from running to the store again and from printing the list weekly! At on point I asked for staples to show up regularly and they topped that by allowing recurring items on a schedule you select. Hows that for customer service. Now I think it's great and would only ask for a way to quickly select all checked off items to clear your list when done. Keep up the great work, I would be lost at the grocery store without you.

Perfect app! Missing one feature

I have tried out a few of the other grocery/list making software and this one stands out on top! I love the interface and ease of use. I'm a stickler for good design. The only reason I can't continue to use this as my main grocery list app is the inability to sync it with multiple iPhones. I want to go shopping with my partner and have our list updated in real time. Why not take advantage of the cloud for everyday activities?

Please ad syncing and I would gladly pay (again)!

Best grocery app for the serious grocery shopper, hands down

I've had this for 2 years and LOVE it, so was amazed that this only had 3 stars. I read the reviews and realized it isn't for everyone, BUT if you are a serious grocery shopper who uses multiple stores, comparison shops by price, has special dietary needs, or wants to effectively manage your budget, get this app. If you want a simple, super-easy grocery list app, you may prefer something else more intuitive. This app is super-customizable, so you can tweak to suit your needs. For a long time, I avoided entering prices because I figured it was too annoying to do with every item, but obviously you shop for items over and over, so it is well worth it! I am able to keep to our weekly cash grocery budget to a T with this app, and quickly catch cashier or tagging errors at checkout. I shop at 2-3 stores per week and track coupons and sales - this works great for that. Also, you can email your list to someone else, and if they have the app, they can import it also. Really nice for when my DH has things he thinks of while at work, I can just put them into my list. Also integrates fairly will with Listomni, although it is by no means seamless. I prefer this just for groceries (and routine household items at Target, for example) and use Listomni for everything else (packing, gift ideas, errands).

This could be a 5 star app

This could be a 5 star app, but it's not. - It needs a lot of work to even be minimally useful. Another 99-cents, plus tax wasted.

Although not perfect either, there's a better app. out there - keep looking (Sorry, you'll have to search yourself as I'm not inclined to shill for another developer on someone's product page.)

I wish this was a better app and it could be with just a little work.
Note that the app has not been updated since Aug. 2010.

I like the unit cost capabilities and that I get a total of my purchases, but I can't mark what I want to purchase from the list I create.

The interface is inconsistent (you can select multiple items to delete or mail, but you cannot select multiple items from the "dictionary" to be added to your list - you must painstakingly add items to your list one at a time using multiple taps to confirm your selection.)

Doesn't acan barcodes.

"Dictionary" items (I'd call it a catalog) can be added and deleted, but not edited.

You can't indicate the number of items you may want to purchase, only the unit cost.

You cannot separately list the brand you prefer.

Powerful and easy

I love it when I don't have to read the directions.... Especially when an app offers a lot of detail. It makes me feel free and smart..... And UNfrustrated!!!!
I have tried at least 8 list apps both free and up to $4.99. THIS ONE RULES!!!!
I shop for the same things at multiple stores and this app let's me separate by store and keep items so I don't have to constantly re-enter them. ( I can grey them out once I put them in the cart.... So not only can I activate the item when I need it again I can see in the store what I have and haven't gotten. This App also stops scrolling dizziness by allowing me to collapse the lists at the other stores ....so I can just have the one from the store where I am . It also let's me add names of stores I use all the time onto the tumbler.... And create rank order....Feels really custom. This app is the poster child for a well designed fully featured simple to use and intuitive to figure out App. THANK YOU for all the work you put into making it. Pam Morris

Lost without it

I have saved so much paper because of this app. I love it. I can keep track of sales of so many items, priced differently at my main stores. My only problem is, since the last update the app is not holding prices, especially coupon amounts. Is there a fix on the way for this?

GREAT APP!

I absolutely love this app. Couldn't be any easier to create a simple list but has functionality to do more if you want it to. Like that I can enter in the name of our local stores and if you want to take the time to enter in prices of items that it shows up on the list so I know if I am overpaying other times. So far no complaints at all, LOVE IT!

Good, Really

Those that don't want to take the time to type items in should be ignored. The point of apps like these is that you type in all you need to know so you don't have to take the time again. This app is good for that. It could use the ability to delete stored names of stores and I can't seem to figure out how to add up the total on a planned purchase. I use this app daily, though, and think it's worth it for anyone who has the brain power to take the time for the setup.

A Good Shooping List

After Shopper went lame, I looked at all the available lists and tried this and one other. I settled on this. As some have said, it is somewhat complicated at first, but once you become familiar with the controls it really isn't hard to use. I'd say it is built more like a database than a simple todo list.

The only things I really would like to see are the ability to have multiple lists (with merge function) and multiple stores (for aisle layout).
