Leave a Review Grocery List
I love Out of Milk...
...but recent upgrades have made it less user friendly. The problems I have seen are with sorting categories and editing items. I shop at the same grocery store every week. I walk through the store the exact same way every trip. When I create a list for that store, I should be able to pre-set the order of the categories on that list. However, no matter how many times I sort the categories on my list...every week they go back to being ordered a different way! The app forces me to re-sort my grocery list every week, which is ridiculous, because it won’t save my changes to the Manage Categories list. Second- I have to add prices to my items EVERY WEEK. For example, I buy Cheerios every week. But every week when I make my list, the edited item from the previous week (where I’ve entered the price) is sorted to Uncategorized. So I have to select the correctly categorized version of the item and re-enter the price EVERY WEEK. Or, I have to choose the correctly priced version of the item, and re-categorize it to Breakfast EVERY WEEK! Out of Milk is intended to make shopping easier and more organized, and it used to do that! But recently, it has more than doubled the time it takes to make a list, and increased the amount of time I have to spend in the store every week. Please, PLEASE, fix these issues because I love Out of Milk and I don’t want to use a different list app!Show lessDeveloper Response
Hey There, I am very sorry you are experiencing issues with the custom categories feature. This is actually a known bug that is currently on our roadmap for development. While I cannot say exactly when it will be fixed, I promise you we know about it & are working really hard to address it. If you have any further questions, or would like to discuss this further, please reach out to us at support@outofmilk.com. Thank you!Like very much except…
This is a great app that I can share with my husband which helps with grocery shopping. I also use it for other lists of things I need to procure from various stores. One major issue for me is when I want to share the list via email, it’s very inconvenient that it also includes all of the checked items. Here is the scenario for me: I use several natural supplements from a particular alternative doctor. The list I keep has all of the supplements and instructions for myself in the notes. I uncheck the items I need at any particular time and share via email to the doctor to put together an order for me. I have to manually go through and delete each of the checked items as well as the data in the notes each time I use the share option. Also, selecting and deleting doesn’t work in this scenario. I have to hold down the delete key.Show lessBest Ap Ever
So glad to have learned of this a few years ago and have told others about it. You almost always have your phone with you, so you can add to your shopping list wherever you are and whenever something pops into your mind. And since you almost always have your phone with you, you’re going to have it with you at the store, instead of a piece of paper sitting at home on your counter! There are many great features, some I’m still discovering. Probably my favorite is the availability of having different lists for different stores. Oh, and the fact that you just check off each item as you put it in your cart, which makes it available for the next time is amazing! This has made shopping much better. Wish it had been around when my six children were all home.Show less
