ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

GroceryAid holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GroceryAid has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of Shopping's written reviews are positive against 100% of GroceryAid's.
