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

Good start but needs several updates. Ability to hide post-its at the bottom in landscape mode. The 7th, 14th, etc are partially hidden at the bottom and there is no way to see the list item. Still use-able. Cant wait for the next update.

I bought this app hoping that it would let me customize and modify it enough so that I could use it for my business as well as personal life. This app is absolutely exactly what I needed to organize and create shopping lists from the vendors that I use to order my business products. It took a very short time to figure out how to use it, and when I had questions on how to do something, the help section was right there to help me out. I love that I can now just bring my iPad to my stock room, and click on a button to tell me what I need to order. No more note pads, clip boards, order forms, pens for me! Just my iPad, click how many of each item I need, update shopping cart, then print if I want to. The only glitch i found was when I was originally adding my products in to the different departments, if there was a name that was the same it would completely close out of the app once i hit "ok". I would start with the Utilities tab, then click Add A Shopping Item, add my item. and then a button pops up stating that the item already exists, so I click retrieve, then add it to a store, add the price, click ok, then ok again to finish- then that is when it would completely close out of the app. This may sound like a lot, but its actually a small glitch. Once its fixed, it is a perfect app! Thank you for creating this!

Very capable tool but somewhat complex. Adding new items is cumbersome. Once set up it works great but it takes some time to do this. I do like when you search for an item and its not found you can then enter it.....

Good but hard to add new items .

I thought it looked really neat and the setup was good. But I see, to have to press a few times for it to work and now it shuts down and I cant even open it back up. Had it for five minutes. Going to get a free app. Want my money back.

Just downloaded app and they keep asking me to rate it. Annoying... So at this time it only rates a two. Maybe if they let me use it awhile, I will rate it higher.

This app does it all for me. I use it every time I go shopping!!!

This app has great potential but still needs work. The biggest issue is the amount of lag time after adding an item. Once you press Ok it can take up to 5 seconds (per item!) for the app to add it to the database, during which time you just sit there. Adding more than a few items at a time is therefore really, really frustrating. Interface is also pretty quirky, although once youve figured it out it gets the job done fine.

Ive been looking for an app that will scan the barcode for easy product entry. This app sounded like it had it all, like keeping track of the total cost of what is in your shopping cart (awesome), but it falls short. When you scan a product it only captures the barcode number which is totally useless! I need it to read the barcode and have it capture things like the price and type of food. Hoping updates are coming in this regard as this app has potential.

New here. I just started entering in my data. I love how simple the process is. I love how this app isnt bloated with a bunch of junk. I need a simple, serious tool, not a toy. I love how All my shopping lists are easily accommodated here. Our family orders a lot of our food from local farmers and food co-ops, also shop mostly on a monthly basis, and so far my data entry on this app seems to work well for our family. I love the cart system of removing from view and tracking cost in cart. Its easy to see on the screen and holds my attention. I love the concept of budget tracking. Theoretically this will help me with controlling my grocery budget on our familys envelope system. We dont eat a lot of pre-packaged food, so we dont need many coupons, but I can see that this is an intuitive, simple system. 2 things Id like to see: 1- the barcode scanner as an actual product entry feature where I scan the barcode of the product I ran out of at home, and the app adds it to my list in its designated spot with its default amounts. Would be nice if the scanner was accessible from the front of the app for this purpose. The barcode entry appears to only serve as further product ID for a secondary shopper who wants to make sure they get the right thing off the shelf. Seems it could be so much more functional and 2012. 2- the budget area with a badge or flash that appears when you near your budget limit on items checked for current pickup, and also another badge or flash when your cart nears budget limit in the store. Ok 3. I would love a budget history in tools that I could break out weekly or monthly, comparing budget to actual cart data, also possibly by department type. This would be a bit bells/whistles and I guess people who didn néed the feature could just ignore it, but I need to save every penny and I didnt like the look of other apps that combined lists with budgets and to-dos. They were bloated and cumbersome.

It is very easy to use, and I love how I can add new items to my shopping list easily. Love that I can e-mail or print as well. Thank you!

This app is slow in many cases and requires too many steps for a simple application. I dont recommend spending even $.99 on this one

Worst app ever. Grocery lists arent a difficult task but this app is. Skip it.

This is a HORRIBLE app! Do not waste your money! It is NOT user friendly at all!

Waste of time and money, ugh!

They should offer a free version of this app because it is not worth the .99 I paid. I liked the idea of having a budget and knowing what you had spent based on what was in the cart. However, it is very difficult to set up and there is not a way to share your list. Very disappointed!

I seem to have all the features and utilities I needed in a shopping app. But this gave me a headache setting it up and couldnt imagine shopping with it. I would a GPS to find my shopping cart! Simplify it and get a desktop version for free.

Very disappointed, unable to use.

I had high hopes that this would be an app I would love! But it isnt easy to figure out without directions and I have tried over and over to get the directions, but they will not ever appear. I can get to the list of information that is SUPPOSED to be available, but when I select " getting started" it is just a black screen. Super super frustrating and I have given up!!

Updated: after using this app for over four years now, I find it to be one of the best apps I have!! After they fixed the sync issue (a long time ago and re-entered all my data) Ive used it daily. It is by far the best, most flexible shopping app available!!! Upgrade back to 5 stars Great app!! REVISED...DONT UPDATE YOUR APP UNLESS YOU WANT EVERYTHING RESET. MEDIOCRE APP. 1/25/11 ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THE UPDATE OVERWRITES ALL OF MY STORED STORES, DEPARTMENT, AND ITEMS?? WHAT?? I SPENT HOURS GETTING IT ALL SET UP WITH PRICES AND ITEMS ORGANIZED BY THE AISLE AND YOU GUYS PUBLISH AN UPDATE THAT DOESNT KEEP THE DATA? AND YOU DONT USE A CLOUD SERVICE TO SYNC TO??? IM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DISAPPOINTED WITH YOU GUYS. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? DOWNGRADED FROM 5 STARS TO 1.
