An editorial reading of the saved reviews

A veteran of the category with a rich history going back to Palm Pilot, but development has effectively stopped: sync breaks at the worst possible moment, support does not respond, and there have been no meaningful updates in years.

Screenshots

What people use it for

Long-time users with large accumulated lists who have nowhere to migrate and are willing to live with unreliable sync

What reviews praise

Flexible organization across multiple store lists, aisle sorting, barcode and photo support, extensive accumulated lists from years of use

What reviews complain about

Sync between two people's phones regularly stops working right in the store, support does not respond to requests, no significant updates since 2019, search sometimes shows ads instead of the item you need

What users experience

2 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

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.'

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.
