Needs work

I’m not purchasing premium on this app until it improves the online shopping integration feature. I can never get it to connect to walmart, HEB, or Aldi. I’m pretty tech savvy and so this shouldn’t be an issue…I’m tired of messing with it. Basically, without that integration, the only major thing it does that’s helpful is improve the sorting on your reminders grocery list

Broken after latest update

This was a great app but after the latest update it no longer will allow me to update my list. Please fix

Best Grocery App!

What’s not to love? One time purchase, no subscription, no data collection.

It just works, and it’s easy for my wife and I to collaborate on the shared grocery list across our phones.

A+++ recommendation.

Useful app but list sharing is broken

The app is useful to create various shopping lists but list sharing doesn’t work. Share link between two users that have the same app should properly export and import the items under the same store name but this doesn’t work. Also for some reason so items have %7C at the end of the line.

Grocery stopped opening

I used grocery for 4 years and this year the app has stopped working. It won’t open at all and now I can’t access my recipes. I’ll update this review when the bug is fixed.

Unusable

This app needs MUCH more attention. The creators behind this app are clearly not actually using this app. It’s such a mess honestly. I thought it would be as simple as Notes, just make a list. All I wanted was to be able to add prices, then get a total. I thought this app would do just that. But no, it’s beyond confusing. “What’s in stock/out of stock” that feature makes no sense. I just want to go thro a mastery list & add what I need for the day. If you don’t need something on your list, you can select it but it doesn’t go awhile, so you still see while shopping. Or you have to remove it from the list & then whatever the inventory feature does with it, is confusing. I don’t need a damn inventory keeping track, it has no idea what I’ve used through the week or not. It’s assuming. I could go on, but I’ll stop here. Someone needs to actually use this app not just create it & put it out there for others to figure out what’s wrong with it. Don’t waste your time with this app.

slow

this app is so slow for some reason… adding a item to your grocery list is slow. Waiting for item suggestions is slow. selecting a suggestion is slow. etc. why?? this app is so basic like what is going on to make it so slow??

Not user friendly

No where to find instructions

Sharing Not Working

This seemed like such a great idea but unfortunately I tried multiple times to share the link with my husband and it was blank every time. I gave up trying after the 6th time. Would have been very helpful if it worked!

Slow

Even typing in grocery items is laggy

Really useful app

One of those apps that I actually use and couldn’t do without. I can no longer go to the supermarket without it.

Unusable amount of lag

The app is extremely laggy and slow to use for me, making it nearly unusable,
I’m glad I did not pay for it and waste my money,
If you have an older phone, this app is not for you.

Upside, it doesn’t collect your data. If it is not slow on your phone, this may be worth looking in to.

The ULTIMATE grocery app!!!

This app has it ALL for your grocery shopping and inventory control needs! Even hasitseful recipes and lets you keep track of the items yltodaychase most often. I especially love how you can create a list based upon what is in each grocery store aisle in order to create the most efficient shopping experience possible. The only drawback is that the app might be a little intimidating because there’s so much to offer and learn…one may NEVER fully appreciate or use all of its benefits. But its DEFINITELY one of the BEST grocery apps available ltoday!

Unusable

There must have been an update because in the last week or two this app crashes constantly and is basically unusable. I have switched to using my Notes app for my grocery list until this is resolved. Very disappointed.

Broken?

Was very happy with this app - bought the paid version so I could have it on my phone and computer and it worked great until now. For the last 24 hours the app WILL NOT open on my phone. Only way to get help is to go to Twitter? There’s no update available for the app so… did I just waste my money?

amazing w adhd

i love how there’s not really a learning curve and i can just start it off with close to zero understanding and effort to maintain the app
i really enjoy how i can understand the app and the way it works for me as a beginner too

Use to be great, only ok now

I really only use this app for event meal planning on shopping. What loved about it was I would tell it what recipes I want to cook, check off things I already have, and it would make one clean list. I had smart Clean Up on and I am still getting 6 different “egg” list items. I try to rename them with count to see if then it would combine and instead the item just vanished. I am using it for one more event as I am too close to the food shopping to find a new one but I will be changing soon.

A bit buggy!

Update: app no longer opens, dev needs to give it a bit of tlc

Pros: this app integrates really well with ios reminders, meaning it also works with Siri. It also has a decent Apple Watch app, works with live activities, and is very customisable.

Cons: quite a few bugs! I’ve noticed things like ui elements duplicating, graphical flashing, and the settings menu doesn’t always save my changes forcing me to redo them. Also, let’s be honest, the app is a little bit ugly.

Suggestions: fix the bugs, obviously. I’d also really like to see a beautification pass. Some translucency layers and some textured/skeuomorphic backgrounds could go a long way, maybe even different backgrounds per list. Please look at the Wishlists app for inspiration. I’d also like to see the recipes section get a glow up, at a minimum I’d like to be able to add images. Please look at the Mela app for inspiration. Lastly, I really like the geofencing idea, but as someone who really likes to have just one shopping list, I’d like to have the ability to add multiple geofences to one list.

It’s a good app.

I like it.

Not working on iOS 26.3

I have used this for quite some time! Other people in my household don’t seem to like to use it, and prefer to just access the shared Apple reminders list the app references.

Unfortunately I now need to revert to just using the Apple reminders list, since the app is no longer working on the latest iOS.

Hopefully the devs see this comment, and can work out how to fix this. I couldn’t find a way of contact anyone, besides twitter; which I prefer not to use.

It was good while it lasted! I’m paying the subscription for the extra features, so it was really something I found useful.
