Flipp: Shop Grocery Deals

I don’t write too many reviews for apps unless it’s awful or I love it. And this app is so FLIPPIN’ GOOD I love it. I do lots of grocery shopping at several stores. I used to wait until Tuesday’s mail for all the upcoming weekly sale ads to plan my upcoming week of shopping & meals. Not only has the Flipp app solved the problem with its simple use & navigation right at my fingertips, I don’t have to deal with all the paper clutter and terrible smell of paper ads. Nearly all the stores I like (over a dozen of them) are on this app. The only ones that’s missing and I keep hoping for is Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods and Bristol Farms. But THANK YOU for finally adding Gelson’s to the Flipp app. In an era where tech developers update apps too often and make them worse than they were before, Flipp keeps getting flippin’ better & better. I recommended Flipp to everyone I know…and my Mom keeps thanking me for telling her about it. And if you’re still reading this review…go to the App Store…load Flip onto your phone right now….and see for yourself. You’re Flippin’ welcome.

Great concept and the app works well. However, right now I am finding it rather frustrating for two reasons. 1) It is showing me great prices on things I am looking for but only for stores that are an hour or more away. No one would drive for an hour to a store to save $2 on a pound of bacon. I looked for a way to filter out stores that are too far away but I have not found it. And a simple mile calculation would not be enough, as the length of time it takes to drive somewhere varies by the density of the population. It takes me an hour to drive to some areas near me that are only fifteen miles away. And I have at least fifteen grocery stores within a three mile radius of where I live. So the kind of filter I could use would be store specific. The second issue has to do with the size of the sale item previews. That is, what one sees when the app finds a deal on some item I list. They are too small to see on my phone and I can’t enlarge them with my fingers. If the ability to enlarge them is too difficult to program right now, might I suggest that instead of presenting them two in a row that you present just one per row? Right now I can see the prices but I can’t make out what store the are from without opening that link and looking at the circular. I would sure appreciate seeing those changes. Thanks!

I love finding deals on food items to save money. However, unless I get the newspaper I don't get the ads every week. If you do this too this is the MUST have app. You put in your location and it gives you all the ads for stores near you. You could even use it on vacation. To save time, if your looking for one specific item, you can use the search section and know only the stores that have the item listed. You can clip coupons, list the store loyalty cards and create a shopping list. I love, love, love this app for saving money. I've even shared this with my college student son so he can save money. A must have for anyone who buys anything that is on a flyer. So that means you can view your favorite stores flyer and even use that stores online tool to set up an order. Just the very best app for every household regardless of walking into the stores, ordering items online, or placing your order to pick up. Best savings tool I know.
