Thank you so much for your comments, I really appreciate the feedback. The Budget Cap feature is already available in Version 10 Beta, which is currently in testing. You can join the beta here: https://www.totalplusapp.com/version-10-beta.html. Regarding taxable vs. non‑taxable items, it’s a bit tricky since the rules vary from state to state, but I’ll definitely look into possible solutions. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review! ### 3/5 — Worth the money *2026-06-01, version 6.9.3* Use it. ### 2/5 — Glitches and bugs still persist *2026-05-27, version 6.9.3* Blue shopping cart button gets smaller or completely disappears, along with the total window at the top of the screen. I suggest the 10 beta version include these bug fixes and accommodate landscape mode. Also, change the text color for dark mode so you can read it better. ### 5/5 — Customer Support is first class *2026-03-22, version 6.9.2* I’ve just upgraded to the paid version as the basic one met all the criteria I was looking for to plan my expenses/weekly shopping lists and I wanted to have access to unlimited lists etc. I encountered an issue where the Upgrade option wasn’t working. The person who responded to my email, Filemon was extremely helpful and understanding. That kind of support rarely exists anymore. The problem was resolved, and particularly after the help I received - of course it wouldn’t have been possible also without the features of the app - I did not hesitate to Upgrade. What I love is that you can ‘favourite’ items added to your lists that you can then select and add to your Cart. Because the price/cost you have set each item up with is then calculated into a total, you can play around with working out what you can and can’t afford that week - particularly useful when the items you need are all from different stores. This is the main purpose I was seeking an app for and it achieves that brilliantly. ### 4/5 — Very useful *2026-03-10, version 6.9* Really liking this. Works for my needs … would love to upgrade to a paid/pro subscription but the in app link goes no where. What should I do? ### 5/5 — Review *2025-12-27, version 6.7.7* Real good app. Would like to have multiple carts. ### 4/5 — Great but lacking legibility *2025-12-05, version 6.7.7* Quite intuitive UI compared to other grocery apps. Tried most of them and prefer the ui on this one. Only downside is the use of gray text on black or white background when in day or night mode. Have to strain my eyes since it’s almost unreadable. ### 3/5 — Good app, but only up to 10 items. *2025-12-05, version 6.7.7* Should be able to accommodate more than 10 items. ### 5/5 — Saving *2025-12-01, version 6.7.6* Very helpful with saving money ### 5/5 — Very good for keeping budget *2025-12-01, version 6.7.6* It even includes tax and “% off” so YOU KNOW what you will pay when you check out. I can’t be without my Total Plus calculator anymore, I use this app for the past 5 years ### 5/5 — Okay app *2025-11-18, version 6.7.6* Okay ### 5/5 — Cool *2025-10-18, version 6.7.6* Yes ### 5/5 — Love this app!!! *2025-09-22, version 6.7.6* Perfect ### 3/5 — Could be better *2025-08-20, version 6.7.6* The app is ok, but why can’t we see the total of our shopping cart?? I’m sure I’m like most others and mark things off as I purchase them in the store, why can’t I see my total without selecting every single item? And if I have to do that why not have a select/unselect all button? ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-08-10, version 6.7.6* Fantastic app! I haven’t found anything else like it, and I find it really useful. I use it while shopping - every item that goes in my cart gets its price entered in the app, and tax is calculated automatically. It lets you make sure you’re sticking to your budget while at the store, and it helps avoid a shock at checkout (since small things can add up fast)! ### 3/5 — They need to be more upfront *2025-08-08, version 6.7.6* They want people to pay for their subscription instead of creating an app that works automatically. They purposely don’t allow the user to manually access input their state tax. That’s where their subscription service comes into play. I don’t recommend this unless you’re willing to pay for the subscription. Me personally….. I don’t pay for subscriptions. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Incorrect Base State Tax *2026-08-09, version 6.9.3* Free version of app doesn’t allow entry of custom tax rate for my municipality, and the State tax rate listed is wrong. Not useful at all ### 1/5 — Unfriendly *2026-07-03, version 6.9.3* At the start it won’t let me change to self input once I chose by state. ### 1/5 — No *2026-06-10, version 6.9.3* Never ask me over and over to rate you again ### 1/5 — Can’t use in landscape mode very well *2025-08-11, version 6.7.6* “Total price” and sometimes enter price and item text boxes disappear due to bugs when in landscape mode. ### 1/5 — Glitches when I try to put a price in *2025-07-02, version 6.7.6* Hi, the app is glitching and crashing when I try to input a price. Please fix this ### 1/5 — One trick pony *2025-04-05, version 6.7.5* It only has one list. I’m looking for separate lists for grocery store, hardware store, garden store etc ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-02-04, version 6.7.5* App randomly crashes ### 1/5 — Don’t like *2024-07-06, version 6.7.5* This app is not user friendly! ### 1/5 — Tax *2024-06-29, version 6.7.5* Texas tax is 8.25 not 8.17 there is no place for me to fix this without knowing if I could do it with an upgrade. ### 1/5 — Stupid *2024-03-19, version 6.7.5* Only being able to save 2 receipts before upgrading is really f cking dumb. 👍 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Review *2026-08-20, version 10* Real good app. Would like to have multiple carts. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-02, version 6.9.3* I love it so much use it every day ### 5/5 — Ok *2026-07-10, version 6.9.3* Best app ever ### 5/5 — Best grocery shopping app ever *2026-07-03, version 6.9.3* This is the best grocery shopping app ever. Easy to make a master list to select from for a weekly list. Always know how much the the bill will be before I get to the register. Keeps a running total of what’s in the cart. Applies discounts, coupons, taxes as items are added to the cart. Excellent! ### 5/5 — Larch *2026-07-03, version 6.9.3* Larch ### 5/5 — best shopping companion *2026-06-10, version 6.9.3* this is the best app for your budgeting needs helps me save money at the grocery store and make sure I don’t go over my budget. I use this anytime and every time I shop specially in these times we all need to make sure that we spend only what we need to spend. ### 5/5 — Handy *2026-05-23, version 6.9.3* I haven’t had this long, but so far the versatility seems to be what I was looking for. The only thing it doesn’t have that I wish it did is the ability to attach photos. It doesn’t matter so much now that my husband has passed, but that would be handy if you were sharing the app with someone and you wanted to be sure they got exactly what you had listed. ### 5/5 — Perfect for me *2026-05-22, version 6.9.3* This app is what I needed (plus a little bit more :) ### 5/5 — One month of use *2026-05-17, version 6.9.3* Seems pretty good. I wanted to have a list plus budget ### 5/5 — I use this every time I shop *2026-04-13, version 6.9.2* This app is one of my most used apps. It’s important that I know what my total will be at the end of shopping, and also see how much each item will be after taxes. This app does that for me.
