Grocery is the smartest and fastest grocery shopping app. Keep your list sorted while you shop with your Apple Watch. Easily add items from Siri and Recipes. ** App Store App of the Day - January 23rd 2021** ** MacStories Must-Have iOS Apps - 2018 ** "Extra navigational steps, like remembering where you are in a list or backtracking through a store because of the order on paper, can really push a person over the edge if going to the store is their current 'Impossible Task'. They might opt for leaving with only half of their items, or just not go at all…which can project this task into the future, always a little unfinished or uncertain. Grocery reduces steps needed in the moment, and provides that little bit of joy every time an item is checked off the list in the UI. Knowing that I just made the future better, by going to the store and checking things off the list and improving the sorting algorithm! This is actually a huge relief: reduced doomsday feelings because I know that future store runs are going to be even easier/better because of what I did today (yay positive agency)!" - Amelia W. - Key Features - • Share your lists with partners and add items to your list on iCloud! • Grocery keeps your list in Reminders so sharing a list is as simple as sharing your calendar. • Checking items off your list on Apple Watch is lightning fast. • Create Recipes in Grocery for quickly adding ingredients to your shopping list, and a cooking experience optimized for mobile. • Always know what items are in your pantry and when they expire with Inventory Tracking! - Reminders - • Add items to your list on Mac or iCloud Reminder's apps • Share your list by sharing a Reminder's list with others - Siri - • Tell Siri: "Add Eggs to my Grocery list" • Create Siri Shortcuts to quickly add groups of items - Lightning Fast - • Custom auto-complete with your list items and notes - Sorting - • Grocery learns every time you shop • Keeps track of the order you mark off items to sort your list next time - Multiple Stores - • Add a Store for every place that you shop • Associate lists with stores based on how you want to shop at multiple locations • Assign geofences that change the selected store wherever you go - Recipes - • Recipe files are stored in iCloud Drive and sync between all your devices • Innovative Markdown Recipe format optimized for cooking on mobile phones • Automatically detects timers in recipe steps - CleanUp - • “12 oz of Chocolate Chips” becomes “Chocolate Chips: 12 oz” • Detect multiple or duplicated items - CoreML - • CleanUp can use a custom CoreML model to recognize item titles and notes - Backup & Data - • Your list is always stored in Reminders for easy backup or access outside of Grocery • Grocery will never modify your other Reminders lists - Quick Add - • Quick Add uses your shopping history to suggest items you frequently shop for. • It's great for adding frequently shopped for items to your grocery list. - iPad - • Grocery supports split view for Recipes, so cooking on your iPad works better than ever • iCloud syncing makes creating a shopping list on your iPad super easy Premium Features: • Households share your stores, shopping history, planned recipes, pantry status, and all premium features with family members! • Keep track of all the items in your pantry • Automatic expiration and replenishment settings Grocery Premium is charged to your iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase.

Great App, BUT

Love this app and my husband and I use it whenever we shop. It’s so nice that he can see what I’ve added to the list and check things off if he’s the one that grabs them. I’ve tried multiple grocery apps over the years and this is my favorite. I have tried for a very long time to find a way to contact the developer though, and I can’t, so that’s my reason for removing a star. I wish there was some type of customer service email. It just sends me to Twitter.The app needs another feature. We should be able to subdivide the grocery lists for each store. When I am getting low on something but not out yet, I like to add it to my list and make a note that I don’t need it unless it’s on sale, so in general just items that I add to a specific store’s list because I might want them at some point, but don’t necessarily need them now. I am praying for an update where I can have a list for a specific store where I can divide it in two, one subdivision for things I absolutely need to get at the store on the next trip, and one for things that aren’t “must haves” for whatever reason. Please, please allow this! I will have to search for a new app soon if I can’t get that because my full lists are getting too hard to navigate while at the store now. I pay for the app and would love this feature. Thank you!

So much potential...

I have tried over 40+ grocery/shopping apps, and this app has SO MUCH POTENTIAL. It’s feature rich and has some great functionality. However, like most app developers, use-case and actual usability seem to be an afterthought—which is paramount for any successful app. Features mean absolutely nothing without that! The sync function fails consistently and is poorly planned. I’m required to manually force a sync to iCloud and pull data from iCloud to update shared data on other devices. As a result... we have abandoned use for family and sync function. I have tested this with multiple devices and new data and all problems are easily reproducible. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled to confirm the short list of issues. There is a definitely learning curve, which could be easily remedied.Emails to developer confirm that you are likely to not get a response, another failed use-case example. It’s easy to open a free support & ticket tracking system to receive the list of issues to be prioritized and worked on, establish a roadmap for features, and get this back on track. I hope that the developer takes this app seriously for future updates, enhancements, and builds up its potential. Again, because it truly has SO MUCH POTENTIAL.

works but not quite customizable enough for me

I shop for 2 houses. So the ability to have multiple stores (location 1) synced to a single list is great, as is the ability to have another set of stores (location 2) linked to a different list. Having the lists built on Apple reminders lists is great too because A) I use the Paprika app for recipes and meal planning, and export lists from there into apple reminders, so they can automatically populate a shopping list in Grocery app, and B) not everyone in the house uses Grocery but they all have Apple Reminders.However, when you’re stocking pantries in 2 locations, the inventory and “keep in stock” features seem useless. :(If the developer takes feature requests, I’d love to see 2 things! First, have the “households” feature include the ability to switch between more than one household, with separate inventory, history, & “keep in stock” data for each household.And second: would further love to have a single store’s list display items from 2 reminders lists (or show items from an Apple Reminders Smart List), perhaps with color distinguishing which reminders list each item comes from. Why? My 96 year old grandfather makes a shopping list in Apple Reminders and shares it with me. I need to be able to see his list while i’m shopping, and check stuff off of his list in the same shopping trip that i’m checking stuff off of my list, but not confuse him by having all of my shopping items show up on his Apple Reminders list.

Set up is confusing

I’ll preface by saying I’ve just downloaded the app and am working through setup, so some more noodling on my part may make things clear. But initial impression is that Store setup is confusing AF. Instructions are minimal and written from the perspective of someone already intimate with the workings of the app. Somehow I wound up with two iCal DAV entries (or maybe two Reminders entries... It’s, like I said, confusing AF). Trying to do a grocery list and it appears as though the second store I set up has become a kind of master store, underneath which the first store I set up is like a sub-store. Like I said, it’s confusing AF. Better instructions are needed, or perhaps, better presentation of stores. Good rules of thumb for instructions: 1) Assume the user does not have a high-level conceptual understanding of your app. The user didn’t design it, so won’t be intimate with the consequences of choosing setup options. 2) Include a how-to guide, with step-by-step instructions, rather than a 10,000-ft level overview of the process.Update: cancelled subscription, deleted app. The interface with Reminders makes zero sense. I deleted the two stores I had initially set up so I could start over to understand the set up process. To my surprise, a whole other category of Reminders (all geo-fenced reminders with names of fav servers/bartenders at my favorite establishments) showed up as a Store/List. What the fuuu...??
