### 5/5 — Excellent Support For kitchen items

*2025-09-27*

I shop a lot and need to know what to keep and what to get rid of. This app has saved me tons of money since I was brainwashed into throwing good food away.

### 1/5 — Nice support

*2025-08-02, version 2.8.2*

I contacted support and he said he would fix my problems with the app. Responded very quickly!

### 5/5 — Love the app I

*2025-02-17*

I am a business owner I use it for expired product like this app allot but please do add alphabetical and make some more updates to it I already payed 2 dollars

### 1/5 — Is this app still supported by its developers?

*2024-10-22*

Downloaded the app, started bringing in food items. The receipt scanner returns gibberish results, barcode scanner only finds 20% of items I have with a barcode. The recipes don’t load based on my inventory. (Example: I have eggs, avocado, everything but the bagel seasoning, tomatoes, sliced bread, cheese, spaghetti noodles, pasta sauce, Italian sausage) it did not suggest making pasta for dinner or avocado toast. The coupon section has nothing but dead links to the grocer’s websites. Very disappointing. No functionality.

### 1/5 — All my items disappeared

*2024-08-22, version 2.8.2*

I lost everything

### 5/5 — awesome app

*2024-02-15, version 2.8.2*

it’s an old app so updates are needed but it’s simple and perfect for me

### 2/5 — Great concept; nothing works

*2023-07-23, version 2.8.2*

CSV import? Doesn't work. Using the exported csv to re-uploaded added food? Doesn’t work. Receipt scanner? Doesn't work. Tedious manual entry? Yep. If you have a lot of time, this app works great. If you pay money and want the features to work, move along.

### 2/5 — Make Fridgely great again

*2023-06-19*

As a blessed mother of 7 I am appalled, Fridgely is not very useful. The shopping list tab is very disorganized, and does not allow simple editing, like rearranging the list items. I’ve been at Walmart for 3 hours before going back and forth to the frozen food section. I am currently writing this review from the ice cream aisle. I’m not even halfway done shopping, and there’s no end in sight. 

Please make shopping list more organized, and I will reinstall the app. Thank you!

### 3/5 — Fridgely App - issue

*2023-05-02, version 2.8.2*

Anyone know how to delete an item? There is no way to do it from what I can tell. Otherwise it’s a pretty good app.

### 5/5 — DEFINITELY RECOMMEND

*2022-11-14, version 2.8.2*

I love it !
