This app is perfect for my life. The ability to scan products and have the exact information is amazing. Thank you for the opportunity to make my shopping trips more enjoyable and paperless.
Update May 5: Lots of bugs: • Previously Added does not show all previously added items • App locks up when accessing previous lists • No obvious way to move unshopped items to new list • Aisle assignments do not stick from list to list, i.e. Q: How many times do I have to move all my deli items out of “prepared foods?” A: Always and forever. • Custom aisles do not carry over from list to list; see above, re: deli Not even a rudimentary users’ guide. Very frustrating to have no idea what the app will or won’t do. Developer’s web site offers nothing: no help, user guide, or manual. When I reviewed this app at the end of March: I appreciated that the app is free. It does have promise. Unfortunately it doesn’t yet match up to the level of other free or low cost alternatives.
I like the updates. Switched from using the notes app to this as I can search for products and brands and get photos of product. Excited to see the deals once they get that going on my area
