Having issues with the app
I have used this app over any other shopping list app because it works best for me but lately, there have been several issues with the app. I tried to add multiple items to my list using voice notes and it would get everything down right but when I hit “done” it would not add to the list. Today I was making my list and I had added several items (it took me a while to get it) and then later I remembered something I forgot and was goi g to add it to the list I made I found out that my whole list was empty so now I have to start over from the beginning

Was great not anymore.
I loved this app and had been using it for 4-5 years. Then about two weeks ago I accidentally deleted a list and I asked support about getting the list back. They told me in order to get my list back I had to sign up for premium which I did not want to do. So I got frustrated finally agreed to the premium and when I downloaded it and went back into my list the list that I wanted back did not come back and they had also lost all my favorites and saved items. I just can’t believe it happened. Useless and asked for more support and did not get any answers.

Problems!!
I have used this app for a couple of years since my last grocery app stopped being supported. Before this recent update, it was pretty good - not perfect but very functional and useful. Now with the update, features that were free are no longer and things just don’t work properly. I bit the bullet and paid for it but I still cannot get my ‘custom aisles’ to show up - only the ones that I had before the upgrade. And, when I add an item via a list and go to choose the aisle to put it in, my aisles are all scrambled, not in the order of my ONLY store that I shop at. I sent a msg through the app to ask about these things and it was never answered. Very disappointed & will be looking for something better!

Have used for years and loved but not now!
I have used this app for years and loved it. Now with the new update it won't even open. It's gone from a 5 to a zero. Now I see they have made a pay version that you pay for monthly. I use this app to save money not spend more. Off to see if I can find a different app for groceries. Thanks for all the good years, I am sad that you changed and I can't use you. BTW I have an iphone 13 pro max so it's not that my phone isn't up to date. 😥

Latest Update
I’ve been using this app for several years. I have no doubt that the information I provide forms data that is harvested and sold to grocery chains, brokers and manufacturers / producers. But, recently this app was redesigned and it reduced the feature set in the free version and created a pay version which still is a fairly basic feature set. The free version isn’t really free … you provide critical data which is sold to a variety of clients some of which I described above. One of the things I really didn’t appreciate in this new version was the constraint of allowing only 50 items in the history. In any case, there is nothing in this app that compels me to pay for it and, with the constraints now imposed on the free version, I don’t see myself continuing with it either. If the authors wanted to add a “killer” feature then integrate logic that compares prices I enter with prices I entered previously.

Latest Changes Make App Unusable For Me
This has been my go to app for purchases for a long time. I have hundreds of item listed, purchased, and then checked as completed. My shopping usually includes any recent additions as well as outstanding items providing me a clean list of what is needed. The new version shows EVERYTHING. So, I am at Meijers and need 5 items. The new version makes me scroll through screens of checked off items to find the select few. And no, there is NOT a hide completed items - or if there is that toggle is well hidden.
Ray Kroc, the man who made McDonald’s a global brand, once said it is cheaper to keep an existing customer than get a new one. It’s a shame Grocery Pal hasn’t learned that lesson. I’m off to get a different grocery app.

Complete garbage
Used and loved this app for years, and it went from absolute best to absolute worst after the latest update. Want to do something as basic as create a new list? Nope, need a premium account. Accidentally deleted a list and want to recover it? Can’t do that either, need a premium account. Want to share your list with your family to split up shopping? You guessed it, premium amount required. To top it off, one of my lists was mysteriously wiped out after the forced update with no way to recover it without being forced to pay for a premium account.
Basically, if you want to be able to do anything useful with this app, you’ll be required to pay $2/month. Save your time and space, look elsewhere.

Terrible update and fraudulent!
This was a GREAT app! I could add additional stores and aisles, but NOW they took that away. All the aisles I’d saved are now gone, though the stores are still there, but in a different order. Now, they are charging $1.99 per month just so I can add aisles. The way you have to go about finding things is difficult and a real pain. I believe I already paid for the app, so this charging per month for what I could already do, is fraudulent. The only reason they’re doing this is for MONEY. Why don’t you just charge more for the app for newcomers, or add a new service and charge a one time charge for that? I’ll gladly give it 5*, if you let me use the app the way it used to be.

Update: Not so good
I have used this app for a very long time. My husband is also synced with me. He’ll tell me we need an item and I will say, “put it on the list.” He has learned to add things now without telling me. It’s a great app for both of us! I thought at one point we were not able to use it anymore because it wasn’t updated; I had just switched to an iPhone 12, but I had a sigh of relief when I went back into it and was working. I don’t like to be without this app..the last update was 5 yrs ago..I hope it continues to be monitored and updated since this is the best I have found.
Update: this upgrade was totally trash..sorry but you have now limited the use of this app to only premium if you want to add stores or other things. It’s is now totally useless to me and my husband and we have since gone to another app called Listonic..we are able to share and do pretty much all the things we did with app. Also they have a premium that gives option for monthly, yearly or lifetime which I wouldn’t mind to do a lifetime payment…I get that the developer should warrant some kind of compensation and should add more options..sorry to see me go from this app that used to be the best..

From five stars to one
The last update ruined the app. Usually I delete my lists after shopping and start a new one each week. Now after updating I’m told that starting a new shopping list requires a subscription. I can only keep the lists that just happened to still be there.
Way to pull the rug out from under your longtime users. If it were a one time fee I might actually consider it but a monthly charge for something that used to be free is ridiculous.
I will be deleting the app and finding a new one now.
