Recent update not great
My husband and I have used this app for a couple of years and loved it. There was a recent update and it changed alot of the settings. It re-downloaded every item we’ve ever added to the list (over 1500) and there is not an option to delete all. Had to delete each one individually. You have to swipe to delete now instead of just tapping the item, and it also asks if you’re sure you want to delete? A lot of extra tapping which is annoying. The items are spread out more for some reason making the list look twice as long. Looking at other apps 🤷🏻♀️

From best to worst
I’ve been using this app for many years. I have lists for each store I shop and shopping lists for unique activities to keep me organized. So easy to check off items and place in cart and keep on budget.
New update totally changed the app and now instead of placing items in the cart, it just draws a line through it but it’s still on the list creating clutter. Plus the font appears smaller and there’s added spacing so while I’m busy shopping I have to do MORE scrolling to confirm I purchased what I needed. I am looking for a different app now.
Please return some of the old features. I’m so saddened by the changes.

Just stopped working
I have been using Grocery Pal for quite some time. Really liked it. Today it won’t open. My iphone just updated to ios 15.5. Deleted and reinstalled to no avail. Second time I lose a functioning app. Will this be fixed?
Update. I got in. It seems now the features that used to be free are now pay. Free features are crap. Can’t set up stores anymore. Not paying you for this. Good by to a once nice product.

I usually love this app, but the newest “improvements” need a bit of help
This is one of the most useful apps in general. I store everything from my grocery store lists, to my CVS runs, my hardware store needs, as well as online order lists.
That being said, now the app is useless for my needs. Sigh! There’s just one or two changes that need to be made to make it useable again.
With this newest “upgrade”, your lists of everything you ever had on a list for a store is listed. So when I look for what I need at my grocery store, it says I need almost 300 items. When I go into that list, everything I ever bought is listed, but crossed off. I am not sure if there is even anything on my current list because I would have to scroll through the 300 or so items that I chose at some point in history. Uggh!
This was a good idea in general, but there need to be a few changes. Firstly, the unchecked items need to be at the top of the list; Secondly, the number of unchecked items should be the only ones counted when you look at your list of stores (so that you know if you need anything at stores at a glance). Thirdly, the list of crossed off items needs to be in a separate menu of “frequently purchased items” instead of in the main list.
Please make these changes quickly, as I still don’t know what I need at the grocers!
Many thanks for a great app in general.

The new version doesn’t open on my phone anymore
After a few years of using this app, which was perfectly fine as it was, the new-and-improved version won’t even open. After two reinstalls and phone restarts, all I get is the white splash screen. One time I got the EULA with the after and dismiss, but is was greyed out and after I pressed the agree, nothing happened.
Too bad. We have a huge list of favorites saved and now we may have to find another app that works.
If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it….

This was 5 stars…and now it’s worthless
After years of using this app—it was one of the first apps I started using with my first smart phone—I will be deleting it.
They went from being able to share lists with others to a worthless app unless you pay to share your list with another account. My spouse was walking out the door, reminding me to update our shared grocery list, only for us to discover their new “update” just screwed everything up. Now our list isn’t updating and even signing in to the same account on both devices isn’t working.
100% time for a new app!! Thanks for a bucket of last minute stress scrambling to make sure our grocery list gets to the family member doing the shopping!

They killed me. Killed me dead
I have used this app for nearly a decade. Loved it every day all the time. Helped me organize all my stuff. Then they updated it today and broke it. Broke it dead. Killed me too. They will show you EVERY SINGLE THING you have ever crossed of your list. Good luck finding what you need because all the crossed off stuff is intermingled with the stuff you actually need. Then they constantly ask you to upgrade. Well folks. Premium horse crap is still crap. Find another app. This one will kill your productivity and give you an instant migraine!

Almost perfect
This app does everything I need to manage our grocery list for a family of 7. My only complaint is the row spacing in the latest version - too much wasted screen and too much scrolling. Go back to original spacing please.
Hate the new version
Just updated and don’t like it! For some reason each grocery item now takes up 2-3 times the horizontal space so instead of viewing say 8-10 items at once I can only see 5-6. They’ve just added dead white space. So I’m scrolling, scrolling, scrolling. Have used this for years and loved it but now I’ll need to find another app.

Great app but
App is better then any I’ve tried. The ability to scan products not list is great time saver.
But for some reason the scanner stopped working. I’ve reached out to support twice with no answer. Still gets 4 stars without scanner 5 with.
