1. 12

   Flipp: Shop Grocery Deals

   Rank 12. Review score: 63 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.8★ · 520,136 ratings

   63of 100

   

   A supermarket flyer aggregator that genuinely helps deal hunters. The main limitation is coverage: if your store is not in the database, the app is useless.

   Praised: All store ads in one place. Fast search to see which store has a specific item on sale this week. Watchlist notifications for deals on items you track.

   Complaints: Search returns irrelevant results and items from stores outside your area. Many regional chains are not in the database. In-app prices sometimes do not match store prices.

   Best for: Budget-conscious shoppers who plan trips across multiple stores to get the best prices for the week.

2. 22

   Total Plus:Shopping Calculator

   Rank 22. Review score: 55 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.6★ · 2,218 ratings

   55of 100

   

   A simple in-store calculator that tracks your running total with tax. It solves exactly one problem and does it reasonably well, but crashes and pushy review requests get in the way.

   Praised: Automatic tax rate detection via location, quick per-item total with tax, simple and clear interface with no clutter

   Complaints: Ten-item limit in the free version, no single combined list across multiple stores, frequent crashes when entering a price, aggressive repeat prompts to rate the app within the same session

   Best for: Shoppers who want to track their budget in the store and see a running total with tax in real time

3. 9

   List Ease: Shared Grocery List

   Rank 9. Review score: 65 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.7★ · 53,553 ratings

   65of 100

   

   A long-time veteran of the category with solid store and category organization, but it has degraded in recent months with frequent freezes and sync failures between family members.

   Praised: Flexible sorting by store aisle order. Per-item price tracking. Barcode scanning. Years of stability before recent updates.

   Complaints: The app freezes regularly mid-use. Sync between devices breaks and does not recover even after contacting support. Social login is required for shared list features.

   Best for: Users who need a list with flexible categories and price tracking and are okay with occasional freezes.
