### 1/5 — Keeps reverting back to lower level app

*2025-09-08*

I bought the pro level. I bought several add-ons. If I close the app it reopens as the lower level.  Something is broken here.  Very frustrating. Especially as this app makes more sense to me as to how it is organized than the travel app which I’ve been trying to use for at least ten years, probably longer.

### 4/5 — Only One Flaw

*2024-04-06*

This app is great in that I can easily save items and make my list. I can also save prices so I have an idea what I'm going to be spending. HOWEVER, when a prices changes on a saved item, the app doesn't save the price change for future purchases. It's a one time use thing. So you end up having to delete the item and add it back with the new price. Not a deal breaker but super inconvenient.

### 5/5 — Great for making list for anything, not just groceries

*2023-09-18*

I myself use it as a universal shopping calculator. Kudos to the designer!

### 5/5 — Exactly what I need and easy to customize

*2022-10-05*

Does exactly what I need it to do. It's flexible so I can add anything and rearrange it the way I shop. I've created new categories for each store and the items I want there. Prices fluctuate too much so I don't use that except for sales and coupons which works out very well. Awesome app and it doesn't track me!

### 2/5 — Confused

*2022-08-16*

I cannot en a new list nor can I delete the sale list.  There does not appear to be a nw list button nor a delete list bottom.

### 4/5 — Coupon field

*2022-04-02*

This is an easy shopping app to use. I like knowing exactly what I am spending. Hi everyone, I would really like to see a coupon field that adjusts your total.

### 1/5 — Unintuitive app

*2022-03-29*

- Adding a new item is unintuitive. You need to be in a category then you can add an item.
- Add button is at the bottom, worst place for it, have a long list?, you have to scroll all the way to the bottom to get to the add button. 
- You need to be in specific part of the app to delete. This requires a lot navigation to get to the part where you can delete. 
- No search capabilities. 
- Deleted, not worth the time to learn all the apps finicky quirks.

### 4/5 — Transfer between devices.

*2020-07-10*

I like to he app it does everything I need it to except this one thing ....I have the app on my iPad and my iPhone.   I would love it if the app had a log in feature so that I could see the same lists and data base on my iPhone and iPad.   I just put the app on my iPhone and am going to have to MANUALLY put all the additions from the iPad app Into the iPhone app.  If there is a way to do this hat is easier please let me know !

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2020-04-10*

I absolutely love this app! I read reviews that it was hard to understand. I had no trouble at all! I love that I can keep track while I’m shopping of how much I’m spending. This app is great if you’re on a budget!

### 5/5 — Grocery Shopping App

*2020-02-13*

I Love This App!
