Nice and simple.

I’ve been using this app for years. It is just so nice and simple. I like how you can edit the list to suit your needs.

Brilliant app

I have tried dozens of grocery list apps, and no other comes close to the elegance and simplicity of this - everything else is super busy and cluttered with extraneous junk or has a poorly designed or just goofy interface.

This one works flawlessly with minimal effort and is a pleasure to use.

Despair

I love this app- ease of use, adaptability, efficiency. The other shopping apps that I have downloaded to replace Grocery Zen on my iPhone are not user friendly. Zen still pops up on my iPad but not my iPhone. Please fix this.

Great app

This has been my goto app for grocery and recipes for many years. Simple, efficient, fast - very well done app.
Tried it on 18beta today. The recipes are broken but the rest still works.

Want it back

This is the best grocery shopping app ever. What happened to it for iPhone use. Most distressing I can’t use it on my iPhone.
