Stay away from the lite

This used to be an excellent app and then they trashed it, and remodeled it, and it’s terrible, they took away the valuable functions are used to have! You cannot enter without your phone wanting to enable location settings for them to tell you where to go!

Amazing

This is my favourite grocery shopping app!! It’s easy, straight forward and exactly what I need.

Great little app

Have enjoyed using this app. It’s made my shopping a lot easier, with less “forgotten” items.

Thank you!

All lists broken in current release

This app overall is ok.
It does the basics -you can make a list of stores (or use that for types of items you buy. EG Albertsons, hardware store, or monthly bulk shopping.

For each store/list you have, you can add items from their list or add ones not on their master list.

It is difficult if there is some item you can buy at more than one store. For example if you plan to go to Costco you would buy some items there but if you are not going to Costco that week you would go by Walmart or just buy a smaller amount at the grocery store.

To do this you have to have the same items at multiple stores and have them at only one store but when you shop bounce back and forth between multiple lists as you shop.
They have an all lists feature where you could see all ite,s marked to buy (for all stores combined) which made it much easier to be flexible (eg only 2 Costco items to get - can they be postponed a week or bought we the neighborhood market)to save a trip?

But this feature has been broken for months. Making this app clunky to use.

Dear Jane, Please report your issue via an email to support@grocerygadgets.zendesk.com or directly from the app Settings -> Send Feedback. Please describe how the current `All Lists` behavior differs from those you've used to months ago. Thanks in advance!

Working its way back to useable

I like this app and can’t really find one that has the features we use (shared list, which stores have which items, ability to mark skipped). But after being nearly unusable a few weeks ago it’s getting better. Lots of freezes now and have to restart often. Especially when editing a store or item.

Dear De. Dr, 1. You can share your lists by tapping "More->Sync Setup". Yes, we are not supporting individual list sharing, yet. 2. You can assign each item to individual store: tap on item, tap on "Stores", select in which store caries this item. 3. To skip item double-tap on item check-box. Please, email to support should you have more questions.

Good app/ frequent glitches

Great to scan and add items. Check off as you shop, however, it frequently gets stuck or just shuts off.

Response from developer

Dear Zoofungal, sorry to hear that you are experiencing some issues. Please, try to install the latest version, we have fixed several crashes there.

Please undo

Your recent updates have messed up a good app that I used for 8 years.

Can’t delete an item in Prepare mode

After an item shows 0, an additional press of the “-“ no longer brings up the Delete button. Please fix! Otherwise, great app!

Response from developer

Dear Estanley529, Please, try to install the latest version, this feature is back.

Love it

Love that the family can use on different phone. Everything status updated and current so it doesn't matter who is running to the store 'cause everyone has the grocery list!

Missing some handy options

I wish I could delete groceries from the list if possible choices I have after I’ve listed them once.

And I wish it were easier to change the name of a given aisle. For instance where I’ve listed ‘aisle 9 Pasta, bread crumbs’ I wish I could make it ‘aisle 9 Pasta, bread crumbs, tomato sauce’

Response from developer

Dear, Jamie Friend To delete groceries items you can use one of the options under "Reset"/"Checkout" There is second and faster option how to change aisle: in selected store arrange by Aisle/Check-off then simply tap on name Aisle on the left 'hamburger" control.
