Grocery Genius - Save on Your Groceries

Overall this app is a great concept would truly be genius with some enhancements It does help me save but its time consuming to set up use Like another reviewer Id love a search tool as well Id also love the ability to categorize items groupsort the list by dept or aisle All the items I add are in one giant list in alphabetical order and you cant change the grouping or sorting I found that uppercase lowercase letters arent recognized as being the same letter either So I basically have to enter things like this if I want to see them listed together have a list thats somewhat easy to search Bakery Bread White Bakery Bread Wheat If any first letter is lowercase the item is listed out of order That makes it cumbersome to set up a list search through it to update items or mark what I want to purchase Id really prefer it had department category features so I can group things together for example by Bakery dept then categories Bread White or Bread Wheat or Dinner Rolls or Desserts then see the items sorted by the actual item description Pepperidge Farm or Store brand or Cupcakes or Cheesecake etc so I can do a true price compare quickly create a shopping list It would also be really great if it could connect give you the current local price Ive entered common items such as Dairy Tropicana Trop 50 and added the price from multiple big box stores When I added it it was cheapest at Store A A couple weeks later it went on sale at Store B which made it cheapest there but the app had me buy it at Store A because it was cheaper at Store A when I first added the item hadnt updated it because I didnt know it was on sale at Store B I dont have time to run to every store every week update prices on everything then go back to the store that had it cheaper this week vs last week Another thing that could be better is the quantity For ex some paper towels are priced by the sheets per roll Lets say theres 12 rollspkg for 2 different brands theyre both 12pkg or 100roll If Brand A has 100 sheetsroll Brand B has 90 sheetsroll Brand A is actually cheaper based on sheetsroll There are quantity options like quart ounce box package but none really work for the sheets per roll there isnt any way to enter custom quantities so you have to use a generic quantity such as package or box and then calculate the price differently so you get the true cost per package It gets even more confusing if the rollspkg and sheetspkg is different between the various brands Its difficult to remember how I calculated the qty which makes it confusing to know whats truly cheaper This app is a great concept works ok For now Ill keep using it until the developers enhance it or something better comes out           I agree it has potential

I figured it would have a search option that would find the best local prices but instead it wants you to manually add prices for each item from each store Thats dumb my time is worth more than I would even save Haha        Waste of time

I really like a lot of things about this app Its easy and uncluttered Unfortunately without a search option theres not much I can do with this If I want to add something to my shopping list I dont want to look through hundreds of items to find the few things I need Or if Im at a store and see something on sale I might wonder if thats a good stockup price or if I should wait But again I dont want to spend a lot of time at the store looking through a long list to find that item Put a search option on it and Ill purchase the upgrade           Has potential

Please make the App calculate the price per unit For comparing between stores Also add coupons and sales that can be turned off and on           Nice interface great concept

Im a superorganized analyticstudying couponcutting budgetmindful dealseeking shopper I sometimes go overboard I track EVERYTHING and for some reason I always felt the time investment of comparing prices from grocery stores would be too complicated for the payoff I do value my time more than some things This app just revolutionized my grocery shopping Not only does it let me reference the best prices IVE found but it shows me the savings if I opt to go to 123 or 4 stores Holy moly I am shopping with this from now on                 Amazed

You have to enter the prices at different stores for each item yourself and then the app I guess reminds you which store has the lower price Brilliant     Really dumb

It constantly asks to update Before I could finish my list it said I had to update in order to add more If you have more than 20 items on your list usually just save your self the energy     Annoying

Its easy to use though the reason I gave it 45 was because the user interface could be a bit easier maybe another screen or button for your current shopping list or a search Anyway yes you have to put in your own prices Of course you do there isnt a way to tap into the thousands of store databases I already upgraded to pro which gives you unlimited list capacity and the ability to add more stores It does take a while to add your own prices but you can do it over a while as you shop and need things Im a fan              Useful

I thought the app got the prices from the different big stores like Ralphs walmart vins etc etc Nothing smart about this app The fact that you have to spent hours and hours adding stores and prices and prices changes all the time This app would be genius if it got the prices from the stores now its an app thats genius at adding even more work to your day     Unfortunately not was I was looking for
