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

I’ve been using this App for my grocery lists forever. I love that I can make one list and then when I’m shopping choose the store and only the items at that store will show. I have my weekly shopping list and my vacay list - so it is easy to have less things we just get on vacay (like wine and cheese but not cleaning products.)

I’ve been using Grocery Gadget for years probably since you first started programming it. I’ve never been able to get my app to merge both the stay on my phone and the data in the group. I just tried for maybe the 30th time (call me crazy?) and I’m now stuck in an endless loop of syncing that never goes anywhere and is holding my app hostage so I can’t use it. Incredibly frustrating. It would be very helpful to be able to establish a new “store” independent of your list. I’ve never figured out how to enter my own version of “store” and it’s been very frustrating because there are other lists I would like to make than grocery stores or other actual stores. Personal lists. I have loved this app and have used it every time I’ve been to the grocery store for years. But the syncing issue is an extremely frustrating one. My husband and I try to sync the same list in the same group on our phones and have never seemed to be able to sync well enough to get the job done. I, too have searched for a user manual. I haven’t tried this time, because I’ve read other reviews in which people complain about the lack of one. I would appreciate more responsiveness from the programmers.
