### 4/5 — Items return after deletion

*2026-08-23, version 5.8.12*

After I delete items and close the app they return. Sometimes several times or a couple of days later. Hard to keep my shopping list up to date

### 2/5 — Doesn’t sync

*2026-08-17, version 5.8.12*

I’m not sure if it’s because my partner has an android. But this app doesn’t sync at all. It’s gotten to the point we have to screenshot our list to see if they’re matching up. Deleting this app. Very disappointed.

### 3/5 — Needs improving.

*2026-08-15, version 5.8.12*

Could operate smoother when syncing between devices and also retain the added items with pricing on the database.

### 4/5 — Very useful little app!

*2026-08-11*

I really like this app. You can make a pantry list of the things you buy most often and then you can easily move the items you need to your shopping list without having to type in the item. I also love that you can order the categories to match your stores layout, so you can move through the store and see what’s on your list where you are in the store. Once you put the item in your cart, you touch the circle next to the item on your list and the item is removed. So you know that you’re done with that item. You can create new categories, add pricing and  shop any way that is comfortable for you. 
The only complaint I have is that the categories don’t seem to stay where I put them. So I have to re-order them. It’s not hard but just something I don’t think I should have to do. Maybe I’ve missed something but all in all, it’s a very useful tool.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-07-31, version 5.8.11*

I have been using this app for years and I love it. I have several stores on here so when I think of something I need there I just put it on the list. Then as I go through the store if I need to watch my money I can add the amount of each item and the quantity and the app keeps a running total. I am in love with this app.

### 5/5 — The Best

*2026-07-30, version 5.8.11*

I have had this app for years and I so love it. I tell everyone you need this app. It’s easy to use and I love that all I do is go in and ck mark what I need once you ck it goes to list then you ck it off and it goes back to the list to pick from again no need to add .

### 5/5 — Great App

Very organized and helps you stay organized as well!

### 5/5 — Very helpful!

*2026-07-11, version 5.8.11*

I love being able to write things on here before I forget

### 4/5 — What’s Missing?

*2026-07-06, version 5.8.11*

I really like app—it makes shopping much easier. Two things they could improve: (1) Once I add a product and its category. It would be great if it saved it so that I don’t have to choose the category every time. (2) put the categories in alphabetical order.

### 5/5 — Great way to share lists!

*2026-07-03, version 5.8.11*

This app is great for sharing grocery lists with the whole household.  I love it!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Syncing between users stopped working

*2026-08-13, version 5.8.12*

That was my main reason for using this whole ap

### 1/5 — Not syncing

*2026-08-01, version 5.8.12*

I have tried everything to sync this. I deleted the app, of course my list disappeared. I re-added it and still it does not sync.    Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Zero support

*2026-06-27, version 5.8.11*

This app likes one basic very important feature. You cannot search your pantry items. I reached out to support for help regarding this issue and got back nothing.

### 1/5 — No search

*2026-06-14, version 5.8.10*

I fail to understand why this got so many positive views when it lacks the one basic feature of an inventory app, you cannot search your current inventory. You can only scroll through it and it’s not even in alphabetical order.

### 1/5 — New updates killed this app for me

*2026-05-09, version 5.8.7*

This app used to work well but recent updates killed the sync functionality. Now I can sit next to my wife trying to sync the lists together and it doesn’t work. I don’t know what they did but I’m deleting and finding another app

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2026-05-09, version 5.8.7*

I’ve used this app for years but recently I started getting ads on it constantly and now it’s just a headache to use.

### 1/5 — Bad first impression

*2026-05-04, version 5.8.7*

I downloaded the app as I was looking for a good app to not only help me create a shopping list but organizing it by store departments to make my grocery shopping easier. Yesterday I had a list of 20-25 items and halfway through my shopping the app deleted my entire list with no way to recover it. Will look to try a different app like AnyList.

### 1/5 — Scanner Has Never Worked!

*2026-04-13, version 5.8.7*

I have tried to scan dozens of products using the scan barcode feature, it has never worked. I have an iPhone 12 Pro so I am certain it is not my phone but this stupid app!

### 1/5 — Puts products on your list without your knowledge

*2026-01-21, version 5.8.6*

Discovered Zicam on my shared grocery list with my wife.  I asked her if she had put it on there.  She said no, and I’d have been surprised if she did.

Pushing ads is one thing but altering the list without our knowledge or consent is just dirty.  Instant delete.

### 1/5 — Not a professional app

*2026-01-14, version 5.8.6*

This looks like as a demo app created by a student. So many bugs and features missing. 
Duplicate categories can be creates with no warning for example. Grouping is not allowed.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — The only app I use

*2026-09-01, version 5.8.12*

This app is amazing. I’ve never had a problem with this app. With this app, I can keep track of what I need to buy and how much I’m spending. I recommend this app. No glitches whatsoever.

### 5/5 — Great as always!

*2026-09-01, version 5.8.12*

I have written glowing reviews for OOM on android devices. Now I have an iPhone and it’s excellent here too. Comprehensive with options that make it accurate and easy to use and track spending. I’ve tried numerous other shopping apps and none satisfies me like OOM does, year after year.

### 5/5 — Great for couples to share grocery lists

*2026-08-31, version 5.8.12*

Excellent app. Grocery, Costco, Home Store...

### 5/5 — Wouldn’t want to live without the Out of Milk APP

*2026-08-27, version 5.8.12*

It keeps me organized in so many ways. I use the grocery list section for store shopping and the to do list section for out of town trip lists. I almost cried when some of my lists disappeared but the Out of Milk staff recovered them. Woohoo

### 5/5 — Out of milk

*2026-08-15, version 5.8.12*

EXCELLENT,I use everyday.

### 5/5 — I love it !

*2026-08-15, version 5.8.12*

Great app

### 5/5 — Not bad

*2026-08-11, version 5.8.12*

Just downloaded app, worked it only to discover that I like it.

### 5/5 — Got Milk?

*2026-08-09, version 5.8.12*

Been using Out of Milk app for many years. It meets all my shopping needs 😃

### 5/5 — Greatest

*2026-08-02, version 5.8.11*

….until….,everything disappeared except the to-do list.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-02, version 5.8.11*

Can’t use it signed in though. When I delete a completed list. I’ll be staring at a blank list, suddenly it will sync and everything I just deleted will reappear on my list, worse if I’ve added anything. Not only will the deleted list reappear, but what I’ve added to my new list will disappear. However! Signed out it’s awesome!
