Leave a Review GroceryZen
Love it!
I have used and depended on this app for years. It's just right. I can check off items I need plus add ones not on the list or customize with brand names like the type of bread. For some of my regular recipes I have added the ingredients with the quantities and a photo. Then when I'm going to make that, I just choose that recipe and it also was up on my shopping list. You can then take off any ingredients you already have. I've also created a couple of specialty stores that I go to for special ingredients. I open GroceryZen when I'm in the store and check things off is it going to my basket. I highly recommend this app. In this day of increasingly complex apps, this one is simple and elegant.Show lessKari Liz
Love it but...
Great app this, one of my most used. Would love to give it 5 stars but the developers need to make it sync between devices. I've so many recipes saved otherwise I'd have switched to one of the apps which do by now...Gingerdaddyman
I use this every shopping trip!
This app is awesome for so many reasons! I like selecting the items as opposed to typing each of them out. I also LOVE LOVE LOVE that I can email the list. I email it to my husband from time to time and all he has to do is import it. AMAZING!! I never grocery shop without it!
I would rank 5 full stars if they would make an iPad version. Right now I run the iPhone version which is adequate, but you know... Also, cloud functionality would be awesome for my lists so I don't have to email them to myself if I make a list on my iPad and just take my phone grocery shipping.
Great product!Show lessJeniM1234
Awesome!
My husband and I have been using this app for years now. Also have a few friends that swear by it too!
I work from home, my husband doesn't. He is the grocery shopper. He compiles a list on his iphone, I check to see what we have in the house & compile one on my iPhone, the send it to him and they merge- a thing of beauty!
We also use the recipe area for recipes we make frequently by adding them in manually.Show lessSosugary
Best Grocery App
I've tried about every grocery app and this one works best for me but it's still pretty terrible. Grocery apps seem so simple and there are so many why are they all so weak?
I like that you can create your own master list of items easily so you don't have hundreds of things in the main list you'd never ever buy. Searching for items is great.
The killer feature is the "recipe" feature but this is poorly named. It's really sub-lists. So you can have a recipe of things you normally buy every week and you can easily go through that list and add what you are out of. Or quickly add all the ingredients of a dish you're going to make.
The biggest problem is the incredibly, no, amazingly, awful way it handles quantities. You can advance the quantity forward by tapping the quantity of an item. But if your default is 3 then it advances by 3s (one tap = 6), if your default is 1 1/2 pounds one tap gets you to 3 pounds. Any other quantity change (including removing from your shopping list) requires going to an edit screen and selecting quantity and then saving. And then the app often erases the aisle info for that item.
Developer responded quickly to say I was wrong about this bug. When I gave them step-by-step instructions that always recreate it they didn't respond.
I don't know if it's been updated in months. If so the changes were minute.
Basically it's useful but obnoxious but still the best in a surprisingly weak class of apps.Show lessBobFalconi
Best app for the way I shop
I love the ability to select a recipe & add to list. I use this feature as I use weekly menus containing recipes or when I am at the store and need ideas, or when I find an ingredient on sale and want to use it for one of my recipes. I also use recipes to list items I buy at specific stores (i.e. Health food store, etc.) and I have a recipe "Every" for basics to get every shopping trip. My couponing method is to separate coupons by month, so I have month "recipes" with ingredients that I have coupons for that expire that month. Here's the catch, I would like to see a program upgrade that flags the ingredients that I have coupons for so that when those ingredients are added from a meal recipe or store recipe, I will be able to see I have a coupon and should pull it from my file. Right now I add a dollar sign to the name of the ingredient as my flag, but it can disappear with long ingredient names.
I also will second the request for some way to handle long lists of recipes. Perhaps the ability to search that narrows the field with each letter entered?Show lessvwith
No no no
1. There is no undo- so if you press an item on your list it disappears forever. What if you click on something accidently- and you are not sure what you clicked and an important item disappears forever? You would never even know it.....
2. It doesn't display the whole recipe line by line, if one ingredient is more characters than the line you cannot read the whole thing!!
3. It is hard to read recipes for said reason.
This was a waste of time to set up, and of money to buy!Show lessKLL5
Idea for an upgrrade
Love this app and use it all the time. I cut and paste recipes into all the time and use it for every trip to the grocery store. One thing that would make it even better though, is if I could catagorize my recipes: main dishes, holidays, side dishes, etc. I now have so many recipes, it takes awhile to sort throught them all. :) Thanks for a great app though!Show lessCatagories for the recipes
Amazingly helpful!
This app has been such an amazing tool to simplify my grocery lists. I entered my recipes and can add all the needed ingredients with just one tap.
I love that you can completely customize your shopping list by rearranging aisles and adding new aisles. It won't add the same ingredient from separate recipes if the measurement types are different (cup vs ounces) but it is a minor complication. It would be helpful to catagorize recipes (appetizers, main dishes, desserts, etc) for simplified searching but even without that feature this app has been a life saver!Show lessCarGo4
The BEST
This is just how I think for grocery lists. I looked at a lot of other options too. If you want something simple this is it. If you need prices and coupons etc, this is not it for you. My only complaint is that it's a little too sensitive crossing things off the list. Sometimes, I just want to scroll through the list and it will check off an item instead.Show lesspmh1000
