Grocery Gadget

Product is slowly improving but there are still many bugs. One of the most annoying is when you enter a new item for one or two stores and a while later it is erroneously shown in 8 or 10 stores. Also refuses to sync with group and other devices.

Still doesn’t work. Haven’t been able to scan & add new items to list.

It would be nice if we have a choice about whether added items appear at the top or the bottom of the list. I don’t always purchase everything on the list, and those things I prefer to be at the bottom. Every time I add something, I have to manually move it to the top, and that’s a real time waster.

In my household we shop for ourselves as well as an elderly family member. Also we mostly shop at 2 different stores and a few key items are only in one store. This app is a Godsend helping us create and synch lists and pull a list for only a specific store. We also now use it to keep track of things we need online from Amazon & chewys, and we have a household to-do list (no store selected). This app is the best I’ve tried for our needs

Can’t update paid subscription, lost all data have had for years. Nobody responds to my queries.

App works okay, but we paid for no ads and still get them, and it no longer syncs with my family members, which was the main point for using this. Better off using something else.

It serves the basic purpose of a grocery list, but I’d find much more utility and LOVE the ability to sort Categories (eg Bakery, Produce, etc…) manually so that I can arrange them in the order I move through the grocery stores. Also to save that arrangement so I could toggle between sorting by Alphabetical & Store arrangement.

I’ve used Grocery Gadget off and on for years based on my living situation and nutritional needs, and I’ve recently committed to intermittent fasting,tracking my food and budgeting for a consistent grocery bill. I’ve tried other grocery list apps that seem more modern or have features like recipe import or expiration date tracking. But they weren’t as effective to me in the real world. I’m experimenting with my eating plan for certain periods, whether weekly or monthly in trying different foods from different stores and Grocery Gadget has made it easy to add edit and re-organize the foods that I buy, and it is intuitive to use. One of my favorite features is the ability to go on the website and import foods that I track in mynetdiary through a CSV file. Have to copy and paste into an Excel sheet to reformat the import, but it works well based on the number of foods I have without having to enter them manually. There seems to be a bug or human error, where I enter the prices in the spreadsheet and it doesn’t import so I have entered those manually. Otherwise it works well. The changes or updates or features I’d like to add would be dark mode, a price per unit calculation, such as the price of an item for a pound at one store compared to the price per pound at another store other than just the price itself. Right now, I make multiple entries for the different sizes, so if I want a bag of frozen chicken breast, at one store they may have 8 pounds, a second store may have 3 pounds, yet another store would have 10 pounds. Grocery Gadget shows the best price, but not necessarily the best value. I will continue use it for groceries and household items with the handy multiple list feature and I may even reconsider resubscribing again if the ads become a nuisance!
