I was hoping to use this app to search products at my local TJ and create a shopping list, which appear to be functions. However, while the description plainly says “no sign in” and “no account” required, I cannot create a list without signing in. Glitch or intentional? If the former, pls correct; if the latter, change your description as it is false and misleading. Also, I can’t identify my “default store,” which would be helpful from a searching perspective.

Pop ups and scrolling

Too many pop ups. When scrolling to look at items, it freezes then sends you up- like you can’t just keep scrolling. It would be nice if you could search items by location and if items are out of stock the app would tell you that.

Hi kaarno,Thanks so much for your detailed feedback. The pop-ups you’re seeing are system-level prompts asking for location access — they appear so the app can show nearby store info, and unfortunately, they’re not something I can control from within the app. I understand it can feel disruptive, and I really appreciate your patience with that.Also, I’m happy to share that a search feature has been added in the latest update, so you can now look up items more easily.Real-time stock tracking per store isn’t available yet, but I’m exploring how to better surface community feedback around availability.Just a reminder — this app is a personal fan project, not an official Trader Joe’s app, so updates may take time. But it’s built with care and love for the TJ community, and your input really helps improve it.If you get a chance to check out the latest version, I’d be grateful if you’d consider updating your review 💛 Thanks again!

Please.. place at the *top* your description that you are solo, and doing as a fan - not being paid) to avoid direct shots. To avoid reviewers like myself.. Whom are aiming shots at a full fledged teams.

Hi there,Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. I completely understand your frustration — and you’re right, product search was a key missing feature. That’s why I’m happy to share that search has been added in the latest version.This app isn’t developed by Trader Joe’s or any official design team — it’s a solo project I built as a fan, in my own time, to help fellow TJ lovers explore new products. It’s definitely a work in progress, and I’m learning and improving as I go — with help from feedback like yours.I hope you’ll give the updated version another look. If it feels more useful now, I’d really appreciate a fresh review. Thanks again for speaking up.

Inaccurate location , very poorly designed

😌very strange app
Never gives accurate location gives me a store 17 miles away when there is one 2 miles from my home .

Developer Response
Hi there,Thanks for pointing this out. In earlier versions, the app only used publicly available store addresses, which meant some locations were missing. I’ve since added more Trader Joe’s stores manually — including those that didn’t have location info published before.While I can’t show every new opening or closure in real time, I’ll keep updating the list regularly so it’s as accurate as possible and less confusing for users. I really appreciate you flagging this 💛In the latest version, your nearby store should now appear correctly — please try updating the app. If it still doesn’t show up, I’d be grateful if you could report it so I can fix it. You can reach me at dnnr.tech@gmail.com
