User Reviews

Grocery Gadget shines for multi-store organization, family sharing, and flexible list sorting, with barcode entry and budgeting tools. Common drawbacks are unreliable group syncing, data loss or subscription-related issues, persistent ads, and occasional bugs in core features. Users value its longevity and store-aware organization, but consistency in sharing, updates, and support remains a frequent concern.

Pros

Great for multi-store shopping with store-specific items and per-store pricing/taxes
Strong sharing/syncing across devices and with family members
Flexible organization: move items to match shopping order, sort by aisle or category, and manage multiple lists
Barcode scanning and photo attachments for quick entry
Budgeting and price comparison features across stores (pricing per store, tax per item)

Cons

Unreliable or inconsistent group syncing/sharing across devices; lists stop syncing or don’t update as expected
Data loss or forced subscription changes; upgrading often associated with data issues and poor support
Ads persist even after paying or ads appear in the paid version
Bugs in key features (e.g., prepare mode search behavior, item entry quirks, barcode scanning reliability)
Lack of timely updates and slow or unresponsive support

Partner and I have used this app for years, but the app is constantly plagued with “internal server errors.” We each spent a long time on our respective phones in creating a large list. When I arrived at the grocery store, I found that the list would not sync due to an “internal server error.” Provided feedback in the app to report it and received only an automated reply. It’s been several hours now and there is still a server error. So, I would caution anyone who wants to try this app: it is unfortunately unreliable.

Grocery Gadget is essential for my monthly shopping. I live in a rural area and travel to the city monthly to shop at Costco and other stores as needed. I shop for myself and 2-3 others. This app makes these shopping trips easy and efficient. I wouldn’t be without it. When my income was reduced I ended most subscriptions, but Grocery Gadget is well worth the annual fee.
