I want to love this but…
I really want to love this app. They post great content on instagram and I want to support them however the search function is a nightmare. No category search, if you don’t know the exact product name you won’t find it. There are spelling mistakes and inconsistent spelling (example lasagna/lasagne, Cleavers/Cleaver’s) which makes finding things even harder - only exact matches show in results.
I have reached out to the team but had no response at all, which makes it even more frustrating as they promote a community vibe.
At this time I would suggest following on instagram but not wasting your money with the app☹️

It’s not really a swap tool
Disappointed in this app. I was hoping that I could add a supermarket staple (or scan the code) and it would provide me with a better/cleaner option. But no. If something is not in the app, it’s no good, and you need to navigate through yourself on what might be a better option (eg muesli bar, no real alternative, so change search to snack bar to be able to see something). Definitely not like what their insta reels are like. I do like that their prices are updated with specials.

There’s a membership don’t bother downloading this app.
Not keeping my membership
I like the idea of this app, but half the time I don’t know if a product doesn’t come up in search because it hasn’t been added or if it’s not recommended. I would love a barcode scan function that could find the product and tell you either way.
Also; it’s really slow to open the app, which is very unhelpful when I’m trying to shop with my kids, and I’d like to quickly check something.
Love shopping better for my family, but should be easier and more functionality in the app.

Deceptive - no mention of costs
Deceptive marketing with this app. I don’t mind paying for good apps, however I am less inclined to want to purchase an app that did not mention in the description accessibility is limited without membership fees. You have to sign up, register, security code, log in.. only to then discover you have to pay. Highly disappointing .

Needs improvements
Great concept, but the value isn’t there yet.
I shop mostly online, and the Coles/Woolworths apps show me “my specials” each week. Since I already purchase additive free foods, this feature is all I need really. Maybe this app is good for someone who is trying to make more swaps, but even then, after a couple weeks you wouldn’t need the app anymore. Or, just use the free content Supermarket Swap and other pages offer on Instagram
What would be better is if this app suggested recipes based on the weekly specials!!
Another massive flaw is the lack of proofreading in the recipes. The amount of times recipe instructions call for an ingredient that is not in the ingredients list is so frustrating. I’ve made so many last minute trips to get ingredients to successfully cook the recipe. This wastes both my time and money. On the flip side, there are sometimes ingredients in the list that aren’t even included in the instructions! So I end up missing that it needs to be included, and that item gets wasted.
I’ve wasted way more money due to this than any sort of cost savings this app claims to provide. Especially since I’ve subscribed for $100 for the year.

A bit disappointing
Great idea that’s trying to be helpful in supporting people to make better supermarket choices, but most items are from Woolworths or added by users. It’s an expensive app that is propped up by user generated content. The value just isn’t there yet to justify the cost.
Ok if you shop at Woolies
The developer shops at Woolies and you can tell as the majority of the limited products in this Ap are from Woolworths. For example, almost every Woolworths bakery bread is listed but only one from
Coles when most of them are additive free. Another example is cheese. You can find Woolies mozzarella, slices, blocks etc but not for Coles. I kindly asked the developer many months ago if there were plans to expand the range for Coles and it was suggested I should send the products in so they could be added. This defeats the purpose of laying a hefty annual fee! The Ap itself is clunky and often freezes when scrolling. My annual subscription is soon due to renew however I will pass as none of these issues have been addressed in the last two years of subscribing.

Don’t bother - can’t use any features unless you spend $100 on membership
This app makes you sign up straight after download but after that point you have to have a membership to use basically all of the features. What’s worse is that there isn’t even a free trial period. Sorry but I’m not going to fork out $99 for membership when I haven’t even had a chance to see if it’s any good. Deleting this app straight away. Misleading and a waste of time.

Gamechanger
I loved this app before because of its planning functionality, but now it’s simply a necessity as the cost of living starts to hit. I would never have thought I’d be an Aldi shopper, but here we are. The Easy Eats are BRILLIANT and I feel so great knowing I’m making better, simpler - and more often than not - more economical changes. Thank you for all your hard work #ss team!

Nothing but love for this app
I have learnt so much from this app and check it often, especially when looking for a different item that I haven’t bought for awhile, I also scroll through the supermarket list to get new ideas. I have made so many swaps so we have additive free food.
Best app EVER
The best app I have ever used! It has been worth every cent to subscribe for the year. In my first shop I save the yearly fee!
It has helped my whole family create an additive fee pantry.

Precious time saved
Really helpful in choosing the right food for my family. Our precious time is saved by using this app.
Insane !!
I love this app. I’ve learnt so much and am so informed when I go to the store now
Best app for finding clean and healthy foods
I use this app multiple times a week. It helps me to plan my shops and meals and I know the information is correct and presented beautifully. All the hard work of deciphering labels and ingredients has been taken care of and I can shop more quickly now I know what is safe and good for my diet and general health. Well done Nabs and the SS team! You have a subscriber for life.

It is good but could be better.
This is a good app, however I feel for the price each month there should be more Aldi options we can look at. Right now it is limited. If they could give information on where to get good chicken/meat/lamb depending on Aldi Coles or Woolworths, that would be great. Using the tick button to add your list, sometimes it doesn’t work for me and it isn’t clear from the first instance if I clicked it or not. If shopping lists could be accessed easily that would be great. Costco is another option to add. I generally subscribe for a month then unsubscribe then subscribe again unless I need to. This app could do better

Use it multiple times per week.
I use this app multiple times a week. I started with a monthly subscription but swapped to annual because I got so much value from it.
Well worth the money
Absolutely in love with this app. It takes all the guess work out of grocery shopping.
THE BEST APP
I wouldn’t know what to do without SS!! The most amazing app that has taken the guess work out of trying to understand the supermarket aisles and being able to AVOID the awful additives that are put into the foods we buy! Thank you SS for making food shopping ENJOYABLE & better for my family xx
Lifesaver
This app has saved my life! No more reading labels and no more spending hours thinking about what to cook the fam for dinner. New specials and preservative/additive free items added each week! Thank you for helping me eliminate nasties from my families meals and making my life that bit easier :)
