### 2/5 — Not as good as it sounds

*2026-07-29, version 2.9.3*

Does not load local weekly supermarket special’s. Some pantry and fridge items are misread for recipes, such as beef pie substituted for beef mince. Frustrating when trying to sort a week of recipes. Not what I thought.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-07-15, version 2.9.0*

Badly designed and implemented.

### 3/5 — Trying out the app  - a few observations

*2026-07-05*

I’d be more inclined to purchase this app if it could do the following:
iPad  compatible - would make planning so much easier with a larger screen, especially with families building meal plans together.

Allow collaboration with family members living in the same household so we don’t double up on purchasing, can plan meals for the entire family.

### 1/5 — More Aldi issues, bad UX, and poor data

*2026-06-08, version 2.8.7*

Updating my review after trying again: 

The prices on-app have shown lower than what’s in-store leading to a higher grocery bill. 

Aldi prices missing despite identical products being at Coles/Woolies and Aldi (Coke 30 pack for example). 

The UX is terrible even after the update, really hard to even know where to go. Just so busy and chock-full of CTAs. 

On some products instead of a price per litre, it just lists the volume of the product (600mL rather than $6.67 / 1L, for example)

Finally and probably most importantly, needs more sharks :/

### 2/5 — Inaccurate

*2026-06-03, version 2.8.6*

This app has such potential but it’s just not accurate enough with pricing to rely on. A quick check on the cole’s app found that the same item was on special and half the price of what was listed on the wiselist app. Not worth it.

### 4/5 — Great idea

*2026-05-28, version 2.8.6*

Awesome ideas within this app, just clunky and difficult to use.

### 2/5 — Flawed

*2026-04-03*

This app is good for comparing prices but let’s just say it has potential. 

The UI is a clunky disaster. It tries to do too much. I don’t need an AI chat bot in my shopping list. Item categories don’t always make sense and there’s no way to reorder lists. The meal planner is pretty inflexible. Products don’t always show up together, especially Aldi can be hard to find. Unit pricing is inconsistent. List doesn’t divide into stores although it claims to do so. Why doesn’t it tally my grocery bill? It has all the data.

### 1/5 — Bad UX & mess

*2026-03-14, version 2.3.5*

I installed to check price of grocery but it does so much more and UX IS SO HARD TO FIGURE OUT. On top of that randomly ads will pop up.

### 1/5 — Ad driven

*2026-03-05, version 2.3.5*

Too much ads, the real function is hard to access.
Delete

### 2/5 — Has Potential

*2026-02-01, version 2.3.3*

The app has huge potential but it’s soo unessesary clunky and not intuitive. And I get you have to make money somehow but the ads on free tier are overkill.
