No longer works
Favorite app that no longer works! It freezes every time you go to add an item. Super disappointing
Pretty Good, With One Pet Peeve
This app does a nice job of synchronizing a shopping list across family devices, and has a decent workflow during the shopping itself. Its way of remembering the purchase order of items is handy: not always perfect, but it improves with each trip! It is the app we use in the household for our shopping lists.
The Pet Peeve: The App Insists On Capitalizing Every Word All The Time On Ios, Just Like This Paragraph. This Is Incredibly Annoying. It’s Especially Annoying In The Units Field, Where Capital Letters Can Actually Change The Meaning Of Units. On Macos, It At Least Only Auto-Capitalizes The First Word, But Still…. My Dear Fellow Developer, Most Of Us Write Our Shopping Lists In _all lowercase_ Except For Brand Names; Almost None Of Us Want Every Word Capitalized. Please Give Us A Setting To Change The Capitalization Modes Of Input Fields. And Please Show Completion Suggestions Using The Capitalization With Which They Were Originally Entered, So That I See “PB pretzels” instead of “Pb Pretzels.”
Two much more minor UI complaints:
1. On iOS, it's too easy to accidentally lose an item by clicking / tapping outside the entry area. Data loss should always come with a warning / confirmation.
2. The blank space above “unsorted items” is large enough that it can seem like the list is already scrolled all the way to the bottom before reaching them. On two separate occasions, I have completely missed the unsorted items during a shopping trip!
All that said, this is our go-to shopping app, and we make heavy use of it. If there’s a better one, we haven’t found it.

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.
