——————————————————————

1) Organize

● Create your shopping lists once and reuse them later. Never miss anything at your store.

● Choose from thousands of built-in items with pre-populated aisle categories that match your local store layout.

● Cross off items you’re done with or check them off the list into cart as you walk down the aisles inside a store. This helps you keep track of all the items in the list.

2) Share

● Invite your family members or friends to jointly access your account and share lists, items and photos.

● Changes made to shared lists are automatically available to others.

● List sharing enables one family member to manage lists while others shop at the store using these lists.

3) Discover

● Browse weekly savings from local stores.

● Capture sale items into your shopping list for easy in-store viewing.

● Expired sales are automatically removed so you don't have to worry about cleaning them up.

4) Customize

● Custom aisles: Create your own aisle categories so you can organize your list the way you want it.

● Custom stores: Add your own stores when the built-in stores don't have what you are looking for. You can bookmark a web address for your custom store and access its content easily. Custom stores can be any local or online stores of your choosing.

● Your custom aisles and stores are automatically shared with all members of a joint account. 

5) Cloud Backup and Restore

● All your shopping lists, items and photos are automatically backed up on our secure server.

● Your custom aisles, custom stores are backed up as well.

● If you ever need to switch devices, just sign in to your account, and all your list data will be restored onto your device automatically.

(Grocery Pal Premium is required for list sharing, custom aisles and stores, and cloud backup and restore.)

### 1/5 — Greed gets them all eventually

*2025-11-23, version 4.0.17*

Was a great app until the developer got greedy and took away features and put them behind a subscription paywall. No one with a brain is gonna pay $40/yr for a grocery list app.

### 4/5 — Having issues with the app

*2024-02-04, version 4.0.17*

I have used this app over any other shopping list app because it works best for me but lately, there have been several issues with the app. I tried to add multiple items to my list using voice notes and it would get everything down right but when I hit “done” it would not add to the list. Today I was making my list and I had added several items (it took me a while to get it) and then later I remembered something I forgot and was goi g to add it to the list I made I found out that my whole list was empty so now I have to start over from the beginning

### 3/5 — Need to tally prices during a trip

*2024-01-08, version 4.0.17*

My old grocery store app is no longer available in the App Store, so I had to find a new one. This one comes close to my favorite old one, but there’s no reason to add prices for items if it’s not going to tally what you’re spending as you go. When I click off items, it should total at the bottom so that I can track how much I’m spending as I go. Just making the item disappear doesn’t really accomplish much. Please add this feature!

### 2/5 — Too complicated

*2023-12-16, version 4.0.17*

You shouldn’t have to type in the item and then hit done at the bottom because if you hit done at the top, the item doesn’t get added to your list. Then when you do type in the item and hit done at the bottom, you have to hit done also at the top in order to go in and put the quantity. This is just too complicated. It should not be this way.

### 2/5 — Takes 1 minute to load categories

*2023-09-11, version 4.0.17*

Twicular needs to check their servers supporting this app. It used to work great, but now it takes 1 minute per item for the app to formulate what aisle/section the item belongs (for instance, milk would be in dairy). If I just wanted a list that wasn’t categorized, I would use notepad.

### 1/5 — ?

*2023-07-22, version 4.0.17*

Cannot add stores. Might as well just use my native list app

### 4/5 — Please add total ☺️

*2023-05-07, version 4.0.17*

I like this app and I gave it 3 stars instead of 4 because it doesn’t give a running total after I cross off items. It would be nice if it gave a total for each grocery list so I can better budget. Being able to add in prices is a plus! But give me a running total please. Thank you!

### 1/5 — FIX THE APP!!!!!!!!!!!

*2023-04-18, version 4.0.17*

I pay the premium monthly subscription fee for this app. It frequently does not allow my list sharer to see the list. The items are often wrong and cannot be recovered. This results in incorrect grocery purchases. Today I logged out to try to fix the problem and now cannot log back in. I cannot recover my password because it says there is a server error. Meanwhile, I am paying for this app every month. Very angry.

### 2/5 — Gone downhill

*2022-12-17, version 4.0.17*

I have used this app for a
long time when it was
cpompletely free.  It used to be good and synchronize between my phone and iPad.  Not any more.  Now it doesn’t update the items I try to add.
They are just trying to get you to pay for
It.   Too bad.

### 2/5 — Alphabetize

*2022-11-08, version 4.0.17*

Please make it so we can Alphabetize the heading in grocery list.
