### 5/5 — Great app and great service!

*2026-08-13, version 7.2.0*

I was experiencing a sign in issue and contacted support. They got back to me immediately with a fix. Me and my family have been enjoying this app for years and can’t recommend them enough.  (The sign in problem was entirely operator error and not an app issue.)

### 5/5 — Recipes

*2026-08-11, version 7.2.0*

So far, we are loving this app and went for the lifetime membership quickly.  

Brilliant, thank you for the explanation!  That’s perfect.  I was looking in the wrong 3-dot menu at the top.

### 5/5 — Best shopping app

*2026-08-10, version 7.2.0*

Easy to use and makes planning simple. Be good if there was a place to enter aisle number against each item so sorting by aisle is easier.

### 5/5 — It’s the Best

*2026-08-10, version 7.2.0*

Have been using this app for a very long time, and watching it evolve over time has made it clear that the developers are listening to their users. I cannot recommend a better app for keeping grocery lists. The features I like the most are the ability to share and edit/synchronize your shopping lists with other family members and caretakers, the ability to scan a barcode, to keep different list for each of the places you shop and the ability to customize the colors and layout of your screen. I paid a few dollars to remove commercials because if for no other reason, the developers deserve it for the fine product they have made.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-08-09, version 7.2.0*

Intuitive and easy to use. Way more practical than paper and pencil!

### 5/5 — More than just grocer lists!

*2026-08-08, version 7.2.0*

We use Our Grocery shopping list for more than groceries.  We make our to-do list we make our vacation things to bring list, everything. But I especially love that when we go to the grocery store and we separate, I know where to find him by the groceries he cheeked off! ❤️

### 5/5 — Recipes

*2026-08-07, version 7.2.0*

So far, we are loving this app and went for the lifetime membership quickly.  

One thing I wish it did was offer a way to include recipe instructions as well.  That would make it a 1-stop app for meal planning/list making and cooking dinner.  

Basically, 

The ingredients in list (as is) form so they can be added to grocery lists.

Below it, in a notes field, or part of the recipe settings, recipe instructions can be entered and viewed.

### 5/5 — Just the lists app I need

*2026-08-07, version 7.2.0*

Very easy and straightforward to use. Just add and name a list, add items (it remembers previous ones), tap to cross off, tap to uncross. It’s simple to delete or uncross all crossed-off items in one go, or rename an item or list, fully delete an unwanted item, etc. I use it for all sorts of things that I need to remember and check off the list, not just grocery shopping.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-05, version 7.2.0*

Love this app. My husband and I use it for all our shopping lists- the pet store, hardware store, etc. Shares and updates our lists between phones and never had a problem. Remembers past items. Easy to add new items and create new lists. We are very happy with it and it simplifies shopping.

### 5/5 — Genius App

*2026-08-05, version 7.2.0*

Absolutely love this app.  Super simple to use.  Never any glitches.  No more forgetting the grocery list at home.  No matter where I am my grocery list is with me.  Being able to add a picture of each item is amazing.  I can send my husband to the store with this app and he comes home with the correct items.  It’s genius!

### 5/5 — Mrs Zarina May

*2026-08-05, version 7.2.0*

Awesome xx the price £10 for life xx I have saved so much money by having this in my phone xx I just undelete from my last shopping trip xx then I check my fridge xx freezer and cupboards xx delete what I don’t need xx it stops me over shopping and wasting so much food xx

### 2/5 — Go back to the old version PLEASE!!!

*2026-08-05, version 7.2.0*

How do I go back to the old version where every time I selected an item it didn’t take me all the way back to the Home Screen? This new updated version is really annoying and I miss the old way. I love the app for the convenience but this change makes me so frustrated I almost want to go back to a hand written list. 😫

Here to amend my review as I was contacted by the developer and apparently there is a place in the settings that allows you to change this and “add multiple items” but I’m only adding one more star because I am still frustrated that it would change without notice and not keep the original settings. Why not keep the original setting then have you go to settings and change it to only add one at a time if that’s what you want?! Change is hard enough for people don’t make decisions for us too. 🙄😆

### 5/5 — Great for families

*2026-07-28, version 7.1.0*

Works great to share list between family members, the lists are easy to organize, items populate easily, and the widgets are easy. Couldn’t ask for more!

### 4/5 — Good app!

*2026-07-27, version 7.1.0*

I’ve been using this app for several years now. Hubby & I share it so we can both update our list as needed. We use it for multiple stores, each having its own list. And when you always have your phone, you always have your grocery list!  
My only real complaint is when updating or adding a note to an item, the app creates a 2nd entry for the item. I feel this should not create another entry, but simply update the existing item.  Birthday card is a prime example. I want to be able to add or change the note from “Mom” to “Kathy” to “John” without the app creating a 2nd & 3rd…Birthday card entry. The picture feature is fabulous, and updates the item, so I’d expect adding the note should work the same.
7/2026 update. Still love this app! But still have the same complaint about it creating a 2nd item when you just want to add a note for the next shopping trip, or even when just correct a misspelling. So your item list gets full of unnecessary extra (semi) duplicates.

### 2/5 — Malware ads

*2026-07-27, version 7.1.0*

Ads served as of July 2026 appear consistent with malware delivery, so take care not to click. Eg; “iPhone storage full. Clean up now”

### 5/5 — Your making me nervous!

*2026-07-22, version 7.1.0*

I have been using this app for years now. I started with the free version and after a couple years upgraded just to throw money their way for making such an awesome app. The upgrade does have improvements though, like being able to add photos. My wife and I are linked (even before I upgraded) which is Super handy! I use the store or facility name for the category.  I already know in what department the milk is.  
This is the most useful, helpful, and reliable app I have on my phone and wished it was a standard for so many other developers. Please please please don’t go away, sell or drastically change the app.

Thank you Ourgroceries, you guys rock!

### 5/5 — Absolutely the best

*2026-07-22, version 7.1.0*

I haven’t come across an app that comes even remotely close. It does its job perfectly with the awesomely smooth experience you only get from developers who actually care about their work. You can add things to your list through voice commands and check items off on your Apple Watch while you move about the grocery store. Give it a shot. 

Very unobtrusive ads, if that’s a concern.

### 5/5 — Great shopping app

*2026-07-22, version 7.1.0*

We’ve been using Our Groceries for years.   It’s very convenient to make a list at home and cross items off as you grab them.   Sharing the list is even better as my family can add items from wherever.   Organizing the list by store section makes it even better and more efficient.

### 1/5 — Go back to the old version PLEASE!!!

*2026-08-02, version 7.2.0*

How do I go back to the old version where every time I selected an item it didn’t take me all the way back to the Home Screen? This new updated version is really annoying and I miss the old way. I love the app for the convenience but this change makes me so frustrated I almost want to go back to a hand written list. 😫

### 1/5 — Very useful, enhancements wanted

*2026-07-22, version 7.1.0*

An excellent app, particularly as it syncs across devices. Could do with following enhancements:
1 provide a button to add items (not just a line in the items list)
2 sort all deleted items in alphabetical order / or by category
3 adding a new item and assigning a category takes 5 clicks, this could be reduced to 3 or 2
Hoping for further improvements next version or two :)
Regards ..
** update 22 Jul 26: currently hosting fraudulent scam adverts from ProtectHub.top claiming phone is corrupted and trying to get me to load scam software. Avoid till they fix it!

### 1/5 — No Search?

*2026-06-23, version 7.1.0*

Nice app accept you have to scroll through the whole list to find and item. How can an app in today’s market not include a search option. Especially one that is just a list.

### 1/5 — Stop

*2026-05-14, version 7.0.6*

Badgering me for a review, interrupting an ongoing action.

### 1/5 — Constantly trying to force upgrade to pro

*2026-04-24, version 7.0.6*

Terrible app!  They say it’s free but after using it for a few years I am deleting it!  It is constantly running ads!  That is NOT free!   Charge to remove ads?  That’s not free either!  Scummy company!!

### 1/5 — New Design Update

*2026-04-15, version 7.0.6*

I absolutely loved OUR GROCERIES “until” the latest update. It’s terrible!  Why changing something so much that was working just fine?!  The old saying applies here: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it “.

### 1/5 — Was great one change ruined it

*2026-03-29, version 7.0.4*

A recent update removed the functionality to swipe left to right to remove items from the list. 

This was my go to action. 

Now every time I try to swipe an item off the list it changes to a different list.

### 1/5 — No longer works with Alexa

*2026-03-29, version 7.0.4*

I’ve tried relaunching this on my Alexa and it won’t work at all. I love the app but that function to talk and add while I’m cooking was my favorite part.

### 1/5 — Lost Alexa Connection

*2026-03-21, version 7.0.4*

The new version no longer responds to Alexa.  Alexa replies that there isn’t a grocery list, but I’ve been using it for years.  The only change is your update.  Please fix this.

### 1/5 — One star

*2026-03-18, version 7.0.4*

Please put Our Groceries back as it was. I have had the app for several years & it was one of my favorites, including all my apps. For me, the green makes the page hard to read. I have a list of items to take to annual family reunion (not to be on grocery list). It now appears above the grocery list & I have to scroll to add to, read or remove an item after I put in cart. I am so disappointed. Why ruin a good thing?! I am seriously looking forward to for another app option. 😢

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Love This App!

*2026-08-23, version 7.2.0*

This app is GREAT!!! Everyone in the family can add to the 7 different lists I created. Giant store, Dad to do, Mom to do, Home Depot etc….

### 5/5 — It’s Broken!

*2026-08-22, version 7.2.0*

I’ve been using this app for 10 years or more and it’s great. But for the last two or three days it has refused to load on my iPhone. I’ve reloaded the app, but that doesn’t help. It works fine on my iPad. Help!

### 5/5 — 1 app

*2026-08-22, version 7.2.0*

This has been the #1 app on my phone 
Very subtle adds here

### 5/5 — User

*2026-08-19, version 7.2.0*

Works well, cross platform watch PC and iPhone wouldn’t wanna be without it

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2026-08-18, version 7.2.0*

This is a great option for busy families that have several shoppers. For instance, my husband shops for our family at Costco so we have a ‘Costco list’ that all of us can add items to. I mainly shop for food at our local grocery store, so our family members can add items to my ‘Grocery Store’ list. We even have a ‘Walmart List’ for other things we need. 
Very easy to use and helps us all keep track of things we need! Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Winner winner winner!

*2026-08-17, version 7.2.0*

I stand 12 toes down that this is the all time best grocery list available. ( FYI:  I only have 10 toes)

### 5/5 — Multi-Family Lisy

*2026-08-15, version 7.2.0*

We love this app and the way it lets us have multiple list for family and for stores.  5 stars all around!!!

### 5/5 — You Need This!

*2026-08-15, version 7.2.0*

Super user friendly. Love that it saves recipes that I can just add to my list. No hassle with my husband and I both adding to the list on our separate phones. Doesn’t over complicate the process just get it!

### 5/5 — Best Shopping List app

*2026-08-15, version 7.2.0*

Can we have way to have different colours for each category.  Will update review to 5.1 stars then.

### 5/5 — Greatly simplifies shopping.

*2026-08-14, version 7.2.0*

We love this app! Helps us communicate and organize what is needed with no duplication. Allows space to make notes, clarify, remind, and review. Also is continuously updated so stays current and adds new features.
