Consistently Good App

I’ve relied on this all for a few years and it hasn’t disappointed me. It’s easy to add items not already included in the app and the scanner feature is good for more popular items. This is probably one of the apps I use the most, too!

It’s a great app

I’ve been using it for a couple years and I rely on this app to sort my grocery shopping.

Simple and affective

This app is easy to use and friendly for non-techy users. My wife and I have been using it for years

Useful app but drains battery

Easy to use. Love that it learns the order of items in the supermarket. But drains the battery very fast. Have to start with at least 40% charge to get through half an hour in the supermarket.

Old lists - have to restart

Keeps giving me old list and I have to restart keeps

Excellent usability & reliability

Never had issue with accessing the database on phone and via sync. Very simple to add or delete items in DB. Very fast selection and very logical interface - by far the best on the market. Has all the functionality that one could possibly want in a shared grocery list shop, including options to save details about specific items, etc. I just wish there was a print function.

Issue

It doesn’t sync between my devices

Ads in the middle of shopping!

I PAID for this app, and now there aren’t just annoying ads you might accidentally click on, they sometimes pop up in the middle of shopping! And you just have to wait for them to go away! I have asked repeatedly how to get rid of them, and my queries have been met by utter silence. I am absolutely disgusted at this point. Note to advertisers: if your ad disrupts my use of the app, I will never give you a dime of my money. I consider you worthless. I increased this by one star because I FINALLY got a somewhat useful answer. Why the app doesn’t direct you to upgrade to the pro version is completely beyond me!

Response from developer

Dear ladymblack, We are sad to hear that you are not satisfied. At present you are using the Lite version of the app. There is no paid subscription here, but we occasionally run ads. If you want to use the application without ads, then please SYNC YOUR DATA and install the Pro version. Synchronization is free on all versions! We are open for more details by email to: support@grocerygadgets.zendesk.com OR directly from the app: Settings -> Send Feedback. Thank you for using the Grocery Gadget! 

NOT GOOD

It was very good. After the last update it is very very very bad. You mark things as bought and they stay at the top of the shopping list. AWFUL

Constantly crashes

I bought this app years ago when it was made by another developer. Then it was taken over by this one, who downgraded all the paid-version customers to the free version! Many of us complained, but they still refused to honor our payments. Since then, they have had so many updates, I can’t believe they STILL can’t make this VERY basic app function without crashing. This latest update makes it crash more than ever; Every time I check an item off, the app shuts down. They did have it working previously… How is it they manage to make it worse?
