## What is Grosave?

### 5/5 — A great way to save money :-)

*2025-08-22, version 1.11*

This is a must have for all kiwis. I’ve got a number of higher priced items set up with alerts so I know when they are on special. It’s saved me hundreds of dollars.

### 2/5 — Ugh!!!

*2025-08-04, version 1.11*

I use the Grocer app all the time but decided to try this.
Going back to Grocer app!
This is so confusing and seems limited in what it shows.
Just creating a “List” is a nightmare. It added items into my list i didn’t even want!
Just adding bananas (normal everyday bananas - not dole snack packs or organic ones) gives one result - countdown.
Grocer gives all three of my supermarkets in my area.
Another item regularly purchased each week only shows for new world and pak n save. no countdown result??.
Yes some people leaving reviews say this 
looks “nicer” but I want an app that works not trying to be fancy.
Deleted!

### 5/5 — Download it!

*2025-07-24, version 1.11*

This app is so helpful! Super easy to navigate and use. Love it. I love that it includes all supermarkets and even the warehouse.

### 5/5 — Way better than Grocer

*2025-04-24, version 1.11*

I used to use the Grocer app, but since their new update it's lost functionality. Grosave on the other hand looks way nicer, has way better search functionality. And I love that you can choose how many shops you want to go to that week and it gives you the cheapest across multiple stores or when you don't have time for a multi store shop it gives you the cheapest single shop (which Grocer used to have but have taken away). Great app!

### 3/5 — Chemist Warehouse

*2025-04-20, version 1.11*

Looks good but needs the Chemist Warehouse included.

### 2/5 — Shows only New World prices in my area

*2025-04-19, version 1.11*

Tried to find a way to contact the developer but no links. I have selected all the supermarkets in my area (Kaiapoi, North Canterbury) but prices are only returned for New World. Please fix.

### 2/5 — Limited locations

*2025-04-19, version 1.11*

From what I can tell it only operates in limited locations ie. the main nz cities.

### 3/5 — Slow to load

*2025-04-19, version 1.11*

Good idea but takes ages to load data

### 5/5 — Great wee find

*2025-04-19, version 1.11*

Read about this on stuff. Only had it 10 minutes and it’s great!

### 5/5 — Very clean and useful

*2025-04-16, version 1.11*

I have been using it for awhile now and everything is super clean and easy to use. I reckon im saving around $25 on my weekly groceries which equates to around 15% savings. Good stuff! Keep it up and am excited for future updates!
