LOVE THIS APP
Love that when I stop by a certain store, I can pull up the app to remember what else I needed to pick up there and not leave frustrated that I forgot something again. Also love that the app orders my items in the order I picked them up in the past so that I’m not all up and down the list or running back through the store because I missed something in produce, etc.
I use the recipes tab the most to create my shopping lists, but it would be great if the recipes were listed alphabetically instead of in the order I’ve added them.
Also, it would be nice if the web portal login would save my login info. I click the box to save it for next time, but it never has.

Saved my husband
I hate to grocery shop, but my husband likes to visit with everyone in the store so he shops for me. Thanks to Grocery Gadget, I always get exactly what I want by adding plenty of notes and pictures. GG also tells him ‘where’ to find the items in the store which saves unnecessary calls to me back home. GG has made the entire process much more efficient now that I make out my weekly list while I plan my meals.

Extremely useful
I've had this app for a number of years and only lightly used it. I've now studied it’s features in detail and love it. The aisle feature is perfect for my shopping. It takes a bit of manual work initially by going to the stores app and searching the product and it’s aisle. The Prepare/Shop/Clear then reset to zero works perfectly plus ability to create a master list in a Not Selected Store then copy it to your favorite stores later. Everything customizable-rename product, create new, categorize or edit category.
All great.
All great.

Five stars is the new zero stars!
The new (well, years now) owners of this company, PingWell, bought the program from the original developer, and reneged on all contracts that had built the company in the first place. I am one of those who paid BIG bucks (I forget if it was $5 or $10) in the early days, when most apps were free or at most 99¢, because I wanted to support a good developer and have advertisement-free list-sharing for life. Pingwell is your typical Hong Kong/Chinese company that will take all it can steal, and deliver as little as it is forced to. Apparently Apple doesn’t enforce contracts between developers and customers. Pingwell will ignore you, tell you to just subscribe, shrug, and if you push hard enough, it will just tell you to ask Apple for a refund. Atrocious business practices!
So, apparently, all of my previous reviews have just been deleted. I guess when you rate something ONE STAR it just gets thrown in the trash by Apple. Great way to serve your customers. :-(
TL;DR: Just use Apple’s built-in Notes app, creating tick-box lists, and share that among your friends and family to create your own shopping list program. Do NOT to give criminals money. Stop putting up with advertising stealing your precious time and attention. We only have ~38m minutes in a lifetime! ;-)

Export not working
My wife and I both use this app and found it invaluable for creating and sharing lists. Over the past couple of weeks it refuses to export. All we get is a message “Export failed. Please try again later”. But no joy. What’s happened?
UPDATE.
Excellent response from developer. Problem solved and everything working again. We Deere kept updated with progress. Well done!

Response from developer
Dear Nigel, We fixed the issue and preparing the update. Sorry for your inconvenience.
Long term user
My husband and I have used this app for many years and loved it. Recently our personal weekly grocery list disappeared and we are now needing to sort through all the items in the list provided by the app. to make our personal weekly grocery list. It’s become a real pain to use this app and often am just writing a grocery list by hand rather than the app. After the last update it’s become very cumbersome to use.

Good but STILL needs improvement
A shopping list app seems such a simple concept, yet I can’t believe how hard it is to find one that does what I want… Which is not much, really! This is the closest what I found, but it still has a couple of features that are frustrating. To make edits to a list item, you have to first go into the correct list… And if it’s an item that you’re not sure which list you put it in, you have to go through all your lists Until you find it. Why can’t you simply edit the items from the master list?
Also, this might be a new bug: when you go to move an item to a different list, it move the wrong item!
There are constant updates and bug fixes to this, yet after YEARS of bug fixes they still can’t get it right? How much does it take to get a shopping list app to work properly?

Wonderfull app !
The first app I really appreciate on my iPhone.
Just a little suggestion : instead of having « cost » on the grocery list, just have the quantity wanted and « in the basket ».
The more I use it, the more I like it !

Good grocery app
I’ve been using this app for years, it does the job well. Thank you for a good app
Super helpful but...
Been loving this app for many months now!! The organizing by aisles is so SOOO helpful, especially during covid-19 pandemic when I just want to get in and get out and not wonder around the stores looking for one thing (that took a while but places like target and Marianos have websites that tell me where things are!!). My one issue: There’s no way to see all the items that the stores sell. So I can scroll through and see what i might want to add to my list. Scrolling through the search is so tiresome, even after deleting many many things and renaming countless items. I want to see the products that I have definitely noted that a particular store carries. Otherwise a very handy app!
