  • I really like this app

    It's not clear if this app is still beibg activly developed - but it should be! I think it is very well designed and it really helps me get my shopping done quickly. We have saved many many hundreds of dollars by shopping more deliberately.

    Two features I'd like to see:

    - Undo when checking off items in list (now you have scroll way down to find item)

    - Ability to more easily adjust quantity on list. Now touching number increments one higher - but just as often I want to go lower. Using the edit function is cumbersome. How about touching number gives you choice of quantity?

    Hope the developer stays with this.

  • Not that great

    They fail to mention that there is only 3 built in recipes and only 3 photos to go with those recipes. I bought this app because I thought it would inspire me to make something new but it only has 3 recipes? What the heck? Basically, don't buy it for that reason. I use it to make my grocery list and in that sene it works well for me, it is simple. I wish you could have more than one grocery list though.

  • Great app! Needs menu planner

    I love this app. It allows me to save recipes and add ingredients to my grocery list. I made a recipe for common items so
    that I could keep track of my staples.

    I do wish it had a menu planner. It just needs to be basic. It could even be a weekly list that I could create right from my recipe list. Right now I'm going to notepad to keep a list of my recipes for the week. I wish I didn't have to switch apps.

  • Best Grocery App out there

    I suggest this app to everyone. Even my dad, who just got an iPhone because he's typically the quick shopper of the couple.

    My best friend and I can email recipes to each other to our apps. I can email the grocery list to my husband.
    Really I love it.
  • Very happy shopper!

    I love this app & have used it for over a year! I wondered if there could be a away to attach a price to the item or maybe have some sort of calculator in this app? Currently I flip back & forth between my zen list & the calculator app. Sometimes it's a pain. Also, not all of us have fancy camera phone models to be able to scan bar codes & whatnots. Anyways love this app a bunch!!!

  • Religious grocery zen user

    Ok so this is my second review. I still love love love this app. In the over a year that I've been using it, it's still my fave.
    I have entered so many recipes at this point that scrolling was becoming pretty cumbersome. My solution is to email my recipes from Grocery Zen to myself and keep them in a "recipes" folder in my email, subsequently deleting them out of my grocery zen. Each week I go through the email folder, pick out what I might want to cook and just hit "add to grocery zen" for these recipes. As I make the items, i use my phone as a reference and when done I delete the recipe from Grocery Zen. I then repeat the following week. (hope that makes sense, not nearly as confusing as it sounds). This allows me to easily search by ingredient, index by type of dish, and avoid arduous scrolling (all using email). My grocery zen stays neat and tidy and totally useful.

    My latest wish- I would love to see a forum out there where fellow grocery Zen users could share their recipes. The "email this recipe" and "add to grocery zen" buttons make sharing so easy.

    Off to cook my chicken butternut tagine! Thanks again, fellas!

  • Excellent app

    I've been using this app on a weekly basis for the last year and i absolutely love it!
    It lacks export/import the master item list and import recipes but it is still great. Highly recommended!
  • Covers what's missing from the rest - Quantity option

    Was waiting for a quantity option in a shopping list. Plus this has a simplified search and recipes and let's me organize the store aisles to match my store's layout. You did good, and I reward you with my money.
  • Happy Shopper

    I've used this app since it came out and I love it. No more wandering all over the grocery store because I forgot the bananas and I am already in dairy. I have also compiled my grocery list out and about using the recipe function and it means no forgotten items. Once last week I was finishing up at an appointment, thinking about what I wanted to make for dinner. I was able to choose from the list of MY OWN recipes and get a list with every item needed with one tap. I can add and arrange items based on the flow of the store I shop at and even add other stores, like the farmer's market. I feel like this application was made for me! I love the new feature where I can email the list to my husband and have him do the shopping with his iPhone.

  • It's nice

    This is a nice grocery list, easy to add items and I love the add from recipe feature. I'd love to be able to have a separate list for different stores - does anyone shop at "just one store"? One other feature I'd like - it's not exactly zen, but very practical - I'd like to be able to add prices. Being able to track prices for comparison shopping would be lovely, and the ability to keep a running total before heading to check out would be fantastic to help me stay in my budget.
