### 5/5 — Русский язык

*2026-08-04*

русский язык в добавленных продуктах  и товарах после обновления стал английским

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Русский язык и возможность переключения языка товаров уже возвращены в новых версиях приложения 😊 Сейчас вы можете снова использовать приложение на русском и выбирать удобный язык для товаров в настройках.

### 5/5 — Куда пропал русский язык?

*2026-06-20*

Из приложения внезапно пропал русский язык. Все товары теперь только на иностранном языке. Дополнительные добавленные мною товары исчезли после обновления. Из раздела молоко и сыры пропали все сыры. Раньше было очень удобно приложение, как использовать его настроить под тебя. Теперь чтобы мы воспользоваться, нужно пойти выучить английский язык… Как-то не очень удобно((

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Русский язык и возможность переключения языка товаров уже возвращены в новых версиях приложения 😊 Сейчас вы можете снова использовать приложение на русском и выбирать удобный язык для товаров в настройках.

### 4/5 — Почти замечательно

*2026-05-20*

Ребята, присмотритесь, но иконка счетчика товаров уж слишком большая и еще с обводкой. Можно иконку сделать меньше, перекрывает все изображения товара

**Developer response:** У интерфейсов, как и у людей, у всех свои вкусы. Для кого-то счётчик слишком заметный, а кому-то как раз помогает быстро ориентироваться. Но такие детали и делают приложение живым — будем искать баланс.

### 5/5 — Wow! Saved my Marriage

*2026-04-02, version 5.1.0*

### 5/5 — Fabulous!

*2026-03-17*

This app is the best you can find to keep your shopping lists. I love being able to sync with friends. Very intuitive! Thanks!!!

### 1/5 — Update wiped out all my data

*2026-03-14, version 5.0.2*

The update to v5 wiped out all my lists and custom items and sort order that I've built up over years. I guess if I'm starting over, it will be with a different app.
Developer: yes, I know what happened. You deleted my data. I even paid for ad-free for years. I can't keep using an app that deletes my data because I don't trust you not to do it again.

### 1/5 — Deleted list

*2026-03-14, version 5.0.1*

Thanks for the update and blowing out my already created shopping list now I have to start over real genius thinking.

### 1/5 — Hate the new “improvements”

*2026-03-12*

They took everything I had saved on this grocery shopping list for years. Every picture of items, my shopping lists, even the items I had currently saved. Gone. I am sooooo unhappy. I hate it. And now I have to start over searching for a new app that will be what I need it to be

**Developer response:** Hello,
The previous version of the app had not been updated for several years, so the latest release required a complete rebuild of the application.
Because of this transition, data created in very old versions could not always be migrated.
