### 3/5 — Missing Stores

*2025-12-07, version 8.5.0*

I’m sure it’s fine if you only ever use the 5 stores they have available. However, even though they show having Aldi and Amazon Prime as options on their website, they don’t show up when comparing prices. The app also said that it couldn’t find options for “whole wheat bread”, “whole grain bread”, and “garam masala seasoning” even though they popped up as options to add to the list.

### 2/5 — Limited stores

*2025-09-25, version 8.5.0*

I love the concept of this app and would really love to continue using it. However, it seems like target, Whole Foods, and Hy-Vee are the only grocery stores that integrate I live near a local Walmart and none of the prices at all register. I don’t know how to fix this, and I wish it would work.

### 2/5 — Great concept

*2025-08-23, version 8.5.0*

I love the idea but it could not find prices for basic items such as shredded cheese. Once it has more data, it will be great.

### 1/5 — Does not have Kroger or Meijer

*2025-03-02, version 8.5.0*

This app is great, EXCEPT Kroger and Meijer are not on it.

### 1/5 — Inaccurate

*2025-02-03, version 8.5.0*

Prices are way off of all items in all of my stores

### 1/5 — Not worth the time

*2025-02-03, version 8.5.0*

It doesn’t really give you the best prices. You have to add an item you are looking for and click on each product store to find the price.  I tried to keep an open mind but it’s completely unusable. And it doesn’t have Harris Teeter.

### 3/5 — No local grocery stores

*2025-01-19, version 8.5.0*

Doesn’t show local chain grocery stores

### 2/5 — Not useful

*2025-01-07, version 8.5.0*

Too many of the stores where I shop are missing. Submitted a ticket to get them added. not holding my breath.

### 3/5 — Don’t download

*2025-01-04, version 8.5.0*

Crashes all of the time so I am losing my list. Not accurate pricing or store availability. I have had the app for less than 30 minutes. Restarted my phone to make sure it wasn’t my phone. App continues to crash as soon as it’s open. Will be deleting.

### 1/5 — No local grocery stores included

*2024-10-31, version 8.5.0*

Incredibly disappointed. I have three grocery stores locally and none of them showed up in the app. All that came up was Walmart, which is the next town over the local Aldi and Target and the Whole Foods 25 miles away.
Did not include Kroger, Meijer or Busch’s.
I often compare prices/deals/coupons on the apps between Kroger and Meijer and was hoping this app would do that for me.

### 1/5 — Not available in my area

*2024-10-05, version 8.5.0*

Not available in my area

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-10-05, version 8.5.0*

Doesn’t have info on any of the top stores in the area. This makes it useless - it only tracks three small stores. Also, each store has their own brand of say Whole Milk, chicken, etc - no way to just check prices on a Gallon of Whole Milk, Chicken Thigh 1 lb, etc.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2024-09-29, version 8.5.0*

I mean this literally when it simply does not work. Search function is completely broken so you can’t make your grocery list- the entire point of the app.

### 2/5 — Good idea, but data quality ruins it

*2024-09-02, version 8.4.0*

I get this is a community driven app to put in real time prices. They need some sort of data validation. I’m at 0% accuracy on any of the four stores I went to any all of the products I looked at. In three case the store didn’t even cary the product. 
I’m giving 2 stars vs one because I think it’s a good idea.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2024-08-23, version 8.4.0*

It’s a great idea, if it worked. Unfortunately it doesn’t actually find the best deals making it utterly useless.

### 1/5 — Wish I could try it

*2024-08-22, version 8.4.0*

I wish I could write a review of this app but it won’t let me get past signing up. Brings me to a white screen and doesn’t let me use it at all. Disappointing. was looking forward to trying this.

### 2/5 — Not Useful

*2024-08-22, version 8.4.0*

The app said the best prices were at my local Walmart. That Walmart closed permanently years ago.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. No app support

*2024-08-18, version 8.4.0*

After login, page is blank

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-08-18, version 8.4.0*

The app claims to support "hundreds" of stores, it only shows me 4. Pointless.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-07-25, version 8.4.0*

Help email bounced. App only shows Walmart. We have so many other ‘supported’ stores in our area. Don’t waste your time

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not available in my area

*2025-11-15, version 8.5.0*

Can’t even use the app, we have three main grocery stores in my area with readily available apps: Vons, Raleys and grocery outlet. There is no reason to not have this available.

### 1/5 — Prices are not accurate

*2025-10-07, version 8.5.0*

Prices are not what I see at the store. App is also difficult to navigate, I can’t see how to update prices unless maybe I add to my shopping list but I do not want to make a list. So not sure how I can add prices.

### 1/5 — Where are all the grocery stores?

*2025-08-13, version 8.5.0*

This app is functionally useless since it currently only shows Target and Walmart. I live in an area saturated with all kinds of grocery stores and these were the only ones available. Someone needs to do this concept correctly, it’s ridiculous that comparing prices across grocery stores in an area is so difficult.

### 1/5 — CAN’T open app

*2025-07-30, version 8.5.0*

I tried to open app on both iPhone and iPad and it just remains a blank white screen. I even deleted it and reinstalled it.

### 1/5 — App is blank

*2025-06-25, version 8.5.0*

Can’t create a new account or sign in as a blank page appears.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2025-05-06, version 8.5.0*

Apparently, eggs only come in 6 count packages. Want a dozen? That’s 6. Want an 18 ct? Nope. 6. You can select any size you want, as long as that size is 6.

### 1/5 — High hopes dashed

*2025-04-16, version 8.5.0*

None of my stores were listed. It only showed me Walmart, Target, Whole Foods and a wine store. I never shop at any of those :(

### 1/5 — Few stores

*2025-04-13, version 8.5.0*

The only stores it lists near me are Target, Walmart, Aldi, and Whole Foods. None of the local grocery stores or even the small local Walmart. First item I listed couldn’t be found.

### 1/5 — Not many options

*2025-04-03, version 8.5.0*

It only seems to compare between target and wholefoods…

### 1/5 — Lacks stores

*2025-03-25, version 8.5.0*

I had great hopes for finding an app to compare prices at my local stores but this app didn’t have those stores, which are major chains in the Northeast!! Seemed to list only stores I would never grocery shop at.

### 5/5 — Great to compare prices

*2024-03-21, version 8.3.0*

great app to compare prices at stores in your area

### 5/5 — 5/5

*2023-05-31, version 3.9.222*

This app is really useful for when you are trying to find groceries near you! It lets you add things to your cart and it shows you the available options that’re open. 100% recommend, it makes grocery shopping so much more easier.

### 5/5 — best app

*2023-03-16, version 3.9.218*

This the best app I use to shop.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2023-02-05, version 3.9.214*

I love this app it helps with my shopping so much

### 5/5 — Helps me save time and money

*2022-08-16, version 3.9.202*

This is my first time using this type of app to compare prices across stores online and off-line. Usually this will take me hours to do by myself but I’m glad you guys come up with this app. 
Awesome work!!!

### 5/5 — Basket App not working

*2022-02-11*

I looove this app I use it to compare prices from local stores now I can’t even log in! It keeps saying some random “oops server host not found” or something. I updated my phone, updated the app, deleted it & re downloaded it, I tried to create a new account it won’t let me do that. I did forgot password & the message comes back. I literally have emails from basket so I know I have an account. Is this app in some kind of maintenance? Please help app developers.

### 5/5 — Best Price Comparisons

*2020-06-25, version 3.9.124*

Never considered going to ALDI but after seeing that I’d save 30-40% per month, I’m giving it a shot. Props to Basket for putting new grocers on my radar, as I would have never considered switching without this level of comparison.

### 5/5 — Used to love this app

*2020-05-22*

What happened! I used to be able to do a generic search for eggs, and they would compare prices by brand. Now, I have to select the brand of eggs first. With all the store brands out there, in addition to the name brand stuff, it’s not as easy to compare prices. 

The closest work around I have is to just make a shopping list for eggs, another one for milk, etc.

### 5/5 — Extreme potential

*2020-01-07*

I think it would be beneficial to allow up to cheapest four stores in the app instead of just two. If you have a really big cart or a basket, it would be really helpful to break it down visually to let you be able to see the cheapest options. Also, maybe some kind of incentive for sharing, promoting, or building the platform in someway could be a great way to build reach since this is a community platform. Can’t wait to basket a household name

### 5/5 — Love this!!!

*2019-12-29, version 3.9.101*

I don’t understand why more people aren’t talking about this app. This is SO HELPFUL. This is the perfect app for me. It automatically grabbed the stores in my area and told me the cheapest prices. Love it. Wish it didn’t automatically provide alternatives if the item isn’t in store, maybe just make that optional. But other than that. I’m so in love with this. Support this app!!
