Review summary

Users like the app for being easy to use and organizing by aisle/categories, with helpful reminders and multi-store sub-lists. However, many reviews center on a heavy paywall: ongoing subscriptions lock basic features, with persistent pop-ups and aggressive upsell. Reliability issues (lists disappearing, app crashes) and some usability limitations (editing/removing items, sorting) contribute to frustration. Overall, strong organization and simplicity are praised, but monetization tactics and stability concerns dominate negative feedback.

Pros

Easy to use and well-organized by aisle or categories
Reminders are helpful and support shopping efficiency
Saves time by avoiding re-writing grocery lists
Good for staying organized across multiple stores with sub-lists
Appears to work well for basic organizing needs (initially accessible)

Cons

Forced subscription/paywall blocks access to lists and basic features; high ongoing cost (e.g., reportedly monthly/weekly plans)
Persistent subscription pop-ups and upsell prompts; signs of dark patterns; few ways to exit or close prompts
Data access issues and instability (lists disappearing, app stops working, sign-in/access problems)
Usability drawbacks (difficulty editing/removing items or categories, limited or awkward sorting)
Onboarding friction (must create an account and complete sign-up before using features; aggressive upsell during setup)

2025-10-06	Lu*****	I loved this app and would be happy to pay if it was an OPTION rather than being forced to pay in order to use

2024-10-26	bl*****	Geez where do I start. Down the app and get introed to a sign up. Ok. 3 day trial? Not long enough to try the app but just long enough to forget about the sub. 🚩fine. Go stop the sub before I get billed. Go to add a list. Nope must create an account. Fine. Go do that, exiting out of attempts to upsell me to their family plan at .59c a week. Who the heck bills per week? Just big enough not to check that it’s now doubled the cost of the app. 🚩then go to create a supermarket. Nope gotta share the app with your friends before you can do that.🚩 nah. Why all the dark patterns?? Just let me use the app!

2024-09-03	1H*****	I've tried a few grocery list apps before, but this one is the best I've found. It's so simple to use, but it still has all the features I need. I love that I can organize my list by aisle, and the reminders are really helpful.

2024-08-28	Et*****	This is a must-have app for anyone who wants to stay organized at the grocery store. It's simple to use, has a ton of features, and it's free! I highly recommend this app to anyone who's looking for a better way to manage their grocery shopping.

2024-05-12	J.*****	I was using this supposedly “free” app for several months & carefully developing my lists for the different stores I shop at. One day I opened it up & it wouldn’t allow me to access ANY of my lists without selecting a paid plan option. I promptly deleted the app. Very unethical practice used by developer.

2024-05-04	32*****	It would be five stars if it added & removed items by tapping right on the check mark, rather than anywhere on the line.

2024-04-26	cr*****	This app was great when I first downloaded it. There were certain things you needed a subscription for but making a simple grocery list wasn’t one of them. Forgot to make my list at home last night, so I opened the app and was going to use my previously purchased items to build my list, however when the app opens I can’t access my list unless I purchase a subscription! Go find another app that won’t charge you to make a simple grocery list!
