Don’t waste your time

Buy a new phone and have to log back in?? Can’t do it without paying for a subscription-THERE IS NO PLACE TO LOG IN!!!!!

Interruptions

This is the 3rd time this has popped up as I’m shopping…in 5 minutes!

Easy to use

I’ve used this app for years and really like it. It helps me stay in budget.

No more family sharing

I have had Grocery Gadget for over ten years and the best thing about it was being able to share the shopping list with my family. All of a sudden the family sharing is gone!!! Ok I understand they came out with their own family plan. Not happy they didn’t warn me about the family sharing stopping. I signed up for the family plan and I still won’t be able to share the shopping list until it renews in December, 2 months from now. Great way to treat a long time customer.

Love ❤️ It!!!

Long term user!!! Helps me in, buy it & out quickly…

Ads in your search list!

I paid for no ads, then the ads started showing up at the bottom. Now ads are showing up in your search list as though they were items you regularly order!

Sleazy developer! Don’t buy!

Clear, easy to use, options

I find this app really useful, a combo of simple and customizable, shareable. I do wish I could change the shop list names once they’ve been established, but maybe I’m just not seeing it

Excellent app

It’s a simple app for managing your shopping lists. Easy to use. The only issue I have is some of the ‘shady’ ads on it. Like to ones that tell you you’re out of space on your phone, just to get you to go to some other shady website.

Great help

I use this app to manage all my shopping lists. Works great.

Outstanding app!

Long-time user… Especially like the flexibility of adding locations and inventory types.

Best Shopping App

I’ve been using this App for my grocery lists forever. I love that I can make one list and then when I’m shopping choose the store and only the items at that store will show.
I have my weekly shopping list and my vacay list - so it is easy to have less things we just get on vacay (like wine and cheese but not cleaning products.)

Alas…..

I’ve been using Grocery Gadget for years probably since you first started programming it. I’ve never been able to get my app to merge both the stay on my phone and the data in the group. I just tried for maybe the 30th time (call me crazy?) and I’m now stuck in an endless loop of syncing that never goes anywhere and is holding my app hostage so I can’t use it. Incredibly frustrating.

It would be very helpful to be able to establish a new “store” independent of your list. I’ve never figured out how to enter my own version of “store” and it’s been very frustrating because there are other lists I would like to make than grocery stores or other actual stores. Personal lists.

I have loved this app and have used it every time I’ve been to the grocery store for years. But the syncing issue is an extremely frustrating one. My husband and I try to sync the same list in the same group on our phones and have never seemed to be able to sync well enough to get the job done.

I, too have searched for a user manual. I haven’t tried this time, because I’ve read other reviews in which people complain about the lack of one. I would appreciate more responsiveness from the programmers.

Useful

My go to for grocery lists

Read this

Great app period!
Works as is!
Doesn’t need updates and they don’t update with useless new functions. Been using it for several years now and won’t go to anything else/new

Good but

Hi all this is a great app, just be careful as it has spam messages that imitate mail and messages icons, don’t tap.

Annoying review prompt

Was a great app, but now everyume I use it it asks for a review. I’m a paid subscriber, but this is GETTING REALLY ANNOYING. Fix it NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Limited

Siri support would certainly be nice. Especially when something pops into your mind for the list while driving. Also, Mac or web support would be handy.

Continual ‘Write a Review’

Was a great app, but now everyume I use it it asks for a review. I’m a paid subscriber, but this is GETTING REALLY ANNOYING. Fix it NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Server Errors

Partner and I have used this app for years, but the app is constantly plagued with “internal server errors.” We each spent a long time on our respective phones in creating a large list. When I arrived at the grocery store, I found that the list would not sync due to an “internal server error.” Provided feedback in the app to report it and received only an automated reply. It’s been several hours now and there is still a server error. So, I would caution anyone who wants to try this app: it is unfortunately unreliable.

Essential for efficient shopping

Grocery Gadget is essential for my monthly shopping. I live in a rural area and travel to the city monthly to shop at Costco and other stores as needed. I shop for myself and 2-3 others. This app makes these shopping trips easy and efficient. I wouldn’t be without it. When my income was reduced I ended most subscriptions, but Grocery Gadget is well worth the annual fee.
