### 5/5 — Great Grocery App

*2026-02-16*

Still the greatest! Wish I could add local categories!!

I like simple, straightforward apps and this one fits the bill! I had GroceryIQ, but it is gone. I tried many grocery apps, but this was the best. I do not like to have to jump through a pile of screens just to add something to a grocery list. 

Thank you for the barcode scanner!

My only wish is a history for frequent items I purchase allowing the ability to check those I need and add them to my list instead of typing them each time. Maybe a swipe right could send it to a history list? Many things do not have barcodes, Lol.

**Developer response:** Thanks for trying out Loaf, Mick2009! The barcode scanner and the frequently added items list are both features I'm planning on adding in the near future. The barcode scanner will be included in the next update, which is slated to come out in about a week. The frequently added items list is a little further out and probably won't be available until early 2023.

### 5/5 — Great Time Saver

*2022-12-19*

This app, with its shared list feature, allows my wife and I to divide and conquer at the grocery store!  This is a great time saver. Also allows either or both of us to add and remove items while we are both shopping or even when only one of us is doing the shopping.  Another feature is you can have multiple lists, one for each store.

### 5/5 — Exactly as advertised

*2022-02-04*

This app is exactly what it says it is. It’s a very well structured grocery list app that categorizes things on your list for you to help make shopping trips easier. Very simple and easy to use.
