Leave a Review Shared Grocery List
Helpful to have ingredients for recipes in one place
I have lists that list ingredients for my favorite and new recipes I’d like to try. I have another list for “staples,” for items that I will always need when I go to the farmers market or grocery store. Not having to re-write my grocery list every time is helpful. Titling recipes and listing their ingredients is helpful too; it’s like have a recipe book but without the instructions - which I usually can find on my history or saves tabs.Show lessPrettygirlJops
Easy App with TONS of uses
I started using this as a grocery list a few years ago. I have over 20 lists now, from groceries to specific stores, like Costco and Home Depot, i use it each year for kids’ Christmas lists, I have a Today list where I put just things I need to accomplish in a day, my wife and I stated a movie list where we put movies we want to watch but haven’t gotten to yet... the sharing feature is great because my wife will add items to the grocery list while I am out and I get notification that there’s more on there.Show lessBusyDad315
Flawed user interface
The basic shopping list functionality works fine, including sharing. The main problem I have is with the UI for adding items.
In particular, there is no way to specify weights or volumes of items, at the same time as you add the item. You can increase the “count” of an item, but you can’t say how many pounds, kilograms, liters, etc, and you can’t specify fractions. You also can’t fix spelling mistakes, etc.
The workaround is, after adding an item: exit the adding screen to return to the list screen, hunt through the list to find the item you just added, and then tap on it to edit it, then return to the adding screen. This is super annoying the nth time you do it while updating your list.
At one point in the distant past, the app did allow you to edit items as you added them, but this feature was lost during a UI refresh years ago. It’s been broken ever since.
There’s also no way to add additional details or clarifying information to items.Show lesssyperk
Developer Response
Hi, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry if you feel that the app has declined in its functionalities. One solution you can use is to add the units immediately when adding an item. So, for example, "milk 1l" will add as an item and its unit next to it. Then, you can come back to it and add extra information. I'll forward your concern to our tech team, and we'll see what we can do to improve this option. Thank you for your understanding.
