SHOPPING LIST - Shopping made Simple (GROCERY LIST & MORE) App Reviews

This is the greatest shopping list program out there. I have been using it for about 6 months now and although there have been some growing pains the support staff has handled all problems. It is simple and you can set it up any way you want. I have mine by aisle in exactly the order I shop so after I create the list its so easy to shop. Many new improvements are in this latest edition including coupon clipping. Im not much of a coupon shopper but I may have to start. Also the program supports barcode scanning. My iPad 1 doesnt have a camera so Im not quite sure how that feature works. You will not be dissatisfied with this shopping list program.

Recent update appears to have taken care of the program from crashing all the time. Bar code scanner is an excellent touch. User interface still feels a bit awkward. However, it is a much improved update from the last one that crashed all the time.

I love the upgrade have been using this app for a while and it keeps me on my shopping budget.

Looking forward to using this with the new upgrades. Would like to use on iPad and iPhone but cant get the transfer by email function to work so I can get it on my iPad. Help!

Crashes constantly! Very annoying!

Very clumsy design. The app has a good concept, but its quite unwieldy to use. The only reason to use an app like this is to save time.

If the seller would fix the bugs, this would be the coolest grocery store iphone App. I love the UI. update: newest version still very buggy and shuts down for no reason. Sad b/c this update has a lot of cool additions added to the program. Its easy to add a coupon to your item. I really want this app to work b/c there are some really cool functions and UI is nice. Comparing prices against other stores is nicely done. Additions needed: A note section Display only the list for the grocery store that you are presently shopping at Add a store coupon and manf coupon to same item.

Aug 14th. New version; new cool features. Sorry state-of-affairs = STILL crashes every where!!! Was 1-star; now ZERO-Stars! Bug-ridden. Keeps crashing still (see March 2011 Reviews) PROs - Tells ya it crashed. - Tells ya WHY it crashed (memory hog) - Tells ya what to do about crash (reboot App) - Tells ya what to do about crash (reboot iPad) CONs - Crashes when ya hit buttons too fast - Crashes when ya change App & flip orientation (100%) - Crashes resume even after reboots - Tiny button Hotspots are too narrow; awful for fat fingers _________________ CAVEATs Row-height could be taller in Item List Support wants ya to send them your iPad Crash Log which apparently they think is located in my iMac OS Library Folder. Thats absurd, even if it is there. _________________ But the Apps sooo cheap and sooo beautiful.

Really needed help in the shopping department... But it crashes and confusing to use. Too bad, great idea and I have a ton of time in the data entry so my hope is it gets better!

Very flexible and detailed. Not very intuitive initially to learn though. Would like to see the ability to organize (or drag and drop) items within departments or between different dept/stores. Have not found a way to have an item with the same name in two different stores/depts...have to provide a different name. Havent figured out the barcode scan feature yet. Easy for me to add items to my list as I think of them and easy to shop from list while at store.

It was hard to delete items that I wouldnt use. Cuts off quickly

This is the most confusing app Ive ever used! Dont waste your money, download a free grocery list app instead.

WHY CANT I FIND A DECENT SHOPPING APP??!! They are either so screwed up that it makes shopping a chore, or the DEVS are so freaking cocky that theyll rip people off coming and going!!!  The bar code is useless. Why add one if it doesnt label the product? THATS WHAT A BAR CODE IS FOR. Otherwise, youre just putting the consumer through one more step of shopping. THE BAR CODE IS SUPPOSED TO MAKE SHOPPING EASIER. Its supposed to search the barcode database for names and descriptions of the product so the consumer doesnt have to type. Ok, so I try to use the bar code scanner, but then decide to cancel the action. THE BACK CAMERA FLASH REMAINS ON! The ONLY way to turn it off is go back into the bar code scanner, SCAN THE BAR CODE, wait for the LIGHT TO GO OFF, and THEN cancel. One MORE struggle in the housewifes shopping experience. While little Timmy is popping all the potato chip bags, and the baby is screaming like shes being attacked by a herd of bees, Mommy is trying to figure out how to turn off the light. Tommy is running around the store unraveling the roll of plastic fruit bags hanging in the produce to see how far it will take him, Tammy is slamming the cart into the back of Mommys ankles, and who KNOWS where Tina is (Mommy is secretly and shamefully hoping she ran away)... Mommy is still trying to figure out how to turn off the light that is quickly running down her battery. How is she supposed to call hubby to come get the five kids before she wrings their tiny necks, if her phone is dead?  The app is a bit confusing, trying to figure out how to enter all the information.  The interface is a bit sloppy. Many of the labels are set off-centered, so the words run off the ends of the buttons.  The instructions claim we can select more than one store to shop for items, but when you type in an item (frozen peas, i.e.) selected from a department (frozen foods, i.e.), its slow and choppy.  The app has crashed on me several times.  I couldnt seem to locate the list total. However, if this app worked, there are a couple of advantages over other shopping apps:  Comparison shopping from store to store. Unfortunately, to get the prices, we must  physically go to the stores, since the barcode does nil.  We can set a budget per store. Unfortunately,  there is no indication or warning that the total has exceeded the budget. Suggestion: Allow a field for adding gas prices per mile in the stores, to figure if its really worth traveling to the cheaper store..  add a barscanner that searches for and retrieves actual items.

Great app love it could not do without it

a bit complicated

Slightly steep learning curve but useful.

Great app in theory with many great features. But whenever I need it at the grocery store, it crashes and tells me I need to shut down my iPad. When this is fixed in a later version, Ill come back and give it 5 stars.

Cant believe I paid for this!!! Had it 2 days and I still cant get it to work properly, cant edit anything or make it my own, huge waste!!!

This app is great, but crashes a lot and uses a lot of memory.

Doesnt waste your $.
