★★★★★ "Useful but annoying. It’s not that it has pop-up ads, it just has annoying popups that come up all the time. I’m not spending money on a list app but the app is useful for what it is and keeping things organized. As long as the pop-ups aren’t on the screen." - Coreylahey88

No longer works with Alexa
I’ve tried relaunching this on my Alexa and it won’t work at all. I love the app but that function to talk and add while I’m cooking was my favorite part.
Lost Alexa Connection

One star
Please put Our Groceries back as it was. I have had the app for several years & it was one of my favorites, including all my apps. For me, the green makes the page hard to read. I have a list of items to take to annual family reunion (not to be on grocery list). It now appears above the grocery list & I have to scroll to add to, read or remove an item after I put in cart. I am so disappointed. Why ruin a good thing?! I am seriously looking forward to for another app option. 😢
Bad update
The new update does serious damage to what I’d seen as a classic, gloriously stable app. There are so many changes, none of which I would have chosen.
I do not need a chunky name-of-list banner in huge font taking up screen space when a list is opened.
I do not need a row of fiddly little buttons at the bottom of the screen giving me easy access to features I do not ever use. I’ll only hit them accidentally, and then have to navigate back from unfamiliar screens I never wanted to see. I do not need the sole useful button there (add to list) to be smaller than it was.
I do not need a scrolling inline add-to-list button. It wastes space while needlessly duplicating the fixed button.
There should be a bit of space between the crossed-off items and the button that deletes them all, but they’re run together.
In theory I wouldn’t mind the color themes if you’d included something fairly subdued or neutral… but you didn’t.
Developers, please repent and un-ruin this thing.

Not happy
To many changes. Upgrades make it impossible to go back to original layout. To complicated to add and delete items
Ugly change
New fonts, etc. are ugly. Why change a nice working app?
Horrible!
This latest revision (March 2026) is terrible! I opened the app (which I use almost every day) to find a completely foreign design. With no explanation other than "it’s easier". For whom?absolutely no idea how to navigate this new monstrosity, as there are no ‘directions’ to go to.
The screen is green (awful to look at) and previous notes I’ve made are now at the top of my grocery list. I DON’T WANT THEM THERE! I can’t get rid of them or move them, unless I delete them word by word. I have to scroll through all of these notes to get to the groceries I’ve put on the list. Who came up with this disaster of an upgrade? You had a really good App that I’ve used for about 15 years, with decent improvements along the way. This latest version is horrible and I no longer want to use it. I guess I’m on my way to look for a more ‘user friendly’ grocery/list application.

Our grocery shopping list
I tried out this app. It was very nice for putting my food on there for the list. What I was hoping for was that I could scan each item I bought and find out how much it cost and then find out a total amount at the end of how much my groceries were, but it didn’t do it.
Can’t add family
Downloaded this to help my mom out, and to make it easier for lists of things, the add family feature for iPhone latest update doesn’t work. She can share her long with me, I click on it, it opens the App Store, then opens the app, and nothing else happens. Even tried pasting the info into login. And nothing.
Useful but annoying
It’s not that it has pop-up ads, it just has annoying popups that come up all the time. I’m not spending money on a list app but the app is useful for what it is and keeping things organized. As long as the pop-ups aren’t on the screen.
Not working with Alexa
I love this app. Recently asking to add items to shopping list creates the list in the Alexa app and adds the items there. This is after saying ask our groceries to add an item to a specific list. Working through the issue this is related to Alexa Plus. If I tell Alexa to open our groceries it leaves Alexa Plus and opens the app. The problem there is I can only add a single item then need to start all over. This isn’t functional as we typically add multiple items at a time in preparation for going to the store. Please work with the Alexa team to get this fixed.
Upgrade fails
The new change has us jumping from the bottom right back to the top anyway. Why?
BRING BACK THE + UP AT TOP
Good lord this latest update is UGLY. Why did you remove the + at top to add items??
More Trouble Than It’s Worth
Takes forever to set up, add and delete. I’m better off just keeping a grocery list in the Notes app.
