Excellent! You can shop by recipe!. I am thoroughly enjoying this app. I cook most every night and often find myself at work with no dinner planned. With this app I can choose to make a favorite recipe with the risk of forgetting that one crucial ingredient. Thanks to this app, I will be ordering out less ;)

Love it!. I have used and depended on this app for years. It's just right. I can check off items I need plus add ones not on the list or customize with brand names like the type of bread. For some of my regular recipes I have added the ingredients with the quantities and a photo. Then when I'm going to make that, I just choose that recipe and it also was up on my shopping list. You can then take off any ingredients you already have. I've also created a couple of specialty stores that I go to for special ingredients. I open GroceryZen when I'm in the store and check things off is it going to my basket. I highly recommend this app. In this day of increasingly complex apps, this one is simple and elegant.

Religious grocery zen user. Ok so this is my second review. I still love love love this app. In the over a year that I've been using it, it's still my fave. I have entered so many recipes at this point that scrolling was becoming pretty cumbersome. My solution is to email my recipes from Grocery Zen to myself and keep them in a "recipes" folder in my email, subsequently deleting them out of my grocery zen. Each week I go through the email folder, pick out what I might want to cook and just hit "add to grocery zen" for these recipes. As I make the items, i use my phone as a reference and when done I delete the recipe from Grocery Zen. I then repeat the following week. (hope that makes sense, not nearly as confusing as it sounds). This allows me to easily search by ingredient, index by type of dish, and avoid arduous scrolling (all using email). My grocery zen stays neat and tidy and totally useful. My latest wish- I would love to see a forum out there where fellow grocery Zen users could share their recipes. The "email this recipe" and "add to grocery zen" buttons make sharing so easy. Off to cook my chicken butternut tagine! Thanks again, fellas!

impossible to use, skip this one. For $5, I expected much, much more. A monkey must've designed this program, it's hard to use. 1) No way to have multiple lists. 2) Trying to change the quantity sometimes resulted in taking the item off my list, sometimes it jumped to another part of the list cause of the index on the right side of the list. Rarely did it actually change the quantity. 3) Picking items to put on your list is not intuitive. 4) No way to add a note to an item. 5) The Share tab is just a big white screen with an Email button on it, all it does is a plain text email. Needs a way to sync lists between phones. 6) Checking items off your list takes 2 seconds, makes it really hard to check off items quickly. GroceryZen is not worth $5, I would pass on it until they add more features and drop the price quite a bit.

I really like this app. It's not clear if this app is still beibg activly developed - but it should be! I think it is very well designed and it really helps me get my shopping done quickly. We have saved many many hundreds of dollars by shopping more deliberately. Two features I'd like to see: - Undo when checking off items in list (now you have scroll way down to find item) - Ability to more easily adjust quantity on list. Now touching number increments one higher - but just as often I want to go lower. Using the edit function is cumbersome. How about touching number gives you choice of quantity? Hope the developer stays with this.

The BEST. What happened to this app on iPhone????!!! It is the best grocery app I’ve found and I must say I am distraught that I can’t find it for phone use since I don’t carry my iPad to the store. PLEASE have it reinstalled on the iPhone…I have a very specific list that was created for my own use. Once again it is the most easily used, not complicated and can be personalized.

Someone help me with a few questions?. So far I like this app, but have two questions: 1. When I enter my recipes, is there a way to get the recipe list to organize into aisles like the regular shopping list? 2. Is there a way to "un-check" all the items you've crossed off after you're finished shopping?

A Standout!. I've tried almost all the shopping apps. This one is the best for us. We need to be able to make a list FAST. GroceryZen makes it really easy to have a "master list", so you can just change it a little bit each time you shop, making the whole process really streamlined. Plus the recipe feature is great! The only thing I could wish is a way to sync my copy of GroceryZen with my fiancee's.

GroceryZen is great!. GroceryZen is a great application. I just loaded about 30 of my favorite family recipes with all their ingredients. I also added a recipe called "Staples" - and included things I buy on a regular basis: milk, eggs, cheese, bread, toilet paper, juice, coffee, cream, apples, bananas, cereal, etc. That way -- I'm less likely to forget something. It is really easy to add ingredients into GroceryZen. I also created new "aisles" for stores that I use for certain items. So my walnuts are listed in a new aisle called, "Costco," and fire-roasted corn can be found at "Trader Joe's." What used to take my 20 minutes of planning each week now takes less than a minute! I didn't type many of the recipes in, but just put info into the notes pointed to the page of my cookbook. I've also thought of scanning in the recipes, then adding them as photos. My only fear is that if my iPod crashes, it will take me a long time to recreate my recipes -- so I hope that the next release will have a sync feature. THANKS SO MUCH!

So organized!. I just recently started cooking a lot and this application makes every process so much easier. Way better than having a list that gets lost and wrinkled in your purse, plus it is organized by aisle! I definitely recommend this to anyone that cooks or buys groceries, so pretty much everyone should buy this!

App is almost PERFECT. I love this app and I use it constantly. The customer service is great, too! The only criticism I have (and I left feedback and already heard that this improvement may be in the works) is that there are no quantity fields in the recipes. I'd love to take my iPhone in the kitchen and cook right from my recipe in Grocery Zen! 5 stars anyway!

Best Grocery App out there. I suggest this app to everyone. Even my dad, who just got an iPhone because he's typically the quick shopper of the couple. My best friend and I can email recipes to each other to our apps. I can email the grocery list to my husband. Really I love it.

nice, maybe better?. I just purchased this, I'm looking forward to using it toward better menu planning. My first impression is that I wish that recipes could be organized with drag and drop. Not a big deal, just would like to see interaction with recipe and food sites more integral through links and bookmarking, maybe with a favorites page? The custom shopping list feature is great!

Simple, intuitive. I use this app every week to do my shopping and love it. It is simple, intuitive and incredibly stable. The new quantities and e-mail features in the recent update round out a nearly perfect iPhone app. It is one of top 6 apps that I use regularly.

Excellent Grocery/Recipe List App!. This is a great app that includes a seperate shopping list for your recipes that includes photos. It breaks down all of your needs into aisles, ie. Produce, Deli, Dairy. You can add items to the master list if they are not there. The only thing that I would like to see is the addition of cooking instructions for you recipes, because it is only a list. If that gets added this would be a five star app for cooks and avid grocery shoppers.

no other shopping app has the Recipe Feature!! This ROCKS!. I have been using this application for close to five months now. I love it! It has turned a dreaded task (meal planning and grocery list making) fun and enjoyable. Especially now that they've added the option to input quantities in the recipes. If you're reading some of the other reviews take note that many were written before the new version came out so the comments are inapplicable to date. AND YES YOU CAN SORT BY ISLE. I absolutely love this app and recommend it to every meal planner/shopper I know. I never thought I'd like meal planning but now it's really fun and my family is eating better meals. . Also, website back up or entry would be so, so helpful. All in all, this is worth the price for sure! P.S. I've tried several other shopping apps and this is the only one I use as it is far superior.

Happy Shopper. I've used this app since it came out and I love it. No more wandering all over the grocery store because I forgot the bananas and I am already in dairy. I have also compiled my grocery list out and about using the recipe function and it means no forgotten items. Once last week I was finishing up at an appointment, thinking about what I wanted to make for dinner. I was able to choose from the list of MY OWN recipes and get a list with every item needed with one tap. I can add and arrange items based on the flow of the store I shop at and even add other stores, like the farmer's market. I feel like this application was made for me! I love the new feature where I can email the list to my husband and have him do the shopping with his iPhone.

GroceryZen is great. I really am enjoying this application - so much so that I have made it one of my four favorites on the bottom of the iPhone screen. It replaces all my old paper grocery lists that would get lost in the bottom of my purse and keeps me on track when shopping.

Good, but room to improve.. The reason I decided to purchase this app was for the recipe feature. This app uses the word recipe, but actually means "ingredient list." I found this frustrating. I do, however, find the app useful, but I think there is quite a bit of untapped potential here, and hopefully that list of things shrinks as updates are released. I think a web based companion where you could add and edit recipes would be much more user friendly and time efficient than the current manual editing process on the phone. Also, when the shopping is over, it would be helpful to see the actual steps of the recipe somewhere in this app. Yes, you could put it in the "info" section, but that doesn't seem nearly as useful as being able to access steps in an easy to view way. Last thing I would add to this app is being able to save quantities in the recipes so that when the "add all ingredients" button is tapped, it automatically adds 2 tomatoes, 2.5 lbs sausage, etc.

No no no. 1. There is no undo- so if you press an item on your list it disappears forever. What if you click on something accidently- and you are not sure what you clicked and an important item disappears forever? You would never even know it..... 2. It doesn't display the whole recipe line by line, if one ingredient is more characters than the line you cannot read the whole thing!! 3. It is hard to read recipes for said reason. This was a waste of time to set up, and of money to buy!

Very happy shopper!. I love this app & have used it for over a year! I wondered if there could be a away to attach a price to the item or maybe have some sort of calculator in this app? Currently I flip back & forth between my zen list & the calculator app. Sometimes it's a pain. Also, not all of us have fancy camera phone models to be able to scan bar codes & whatnots. Anyways love this app a bunch!!!

Great App. This is by far the best recipe/grocery app around. The grocery list feature is amazing. The only change I wish would be made, is for the recipes. Typing them in on the iphone by hand takes forever, and if I could update a website and sync them, that would be perfect! But still worth the price for sure.

$5 well spent. I am a new convert to the iPhone from the Palm series and then Treo series of handhelds. The only thing I miss about the Palm is the ability to "try before you buy". I think more apps like this would sell if we could try them out first. That being said, I tried ShopShop (nice, but too simple) and Zenbe Lists and read a lot of reviews before settling on GroceryZen. I couldn't be happier. The layout is pristine and intuitive and extremely responsive (I wish the iPhone contacts app was as quick). My wife liked the idea of adding commonly used recipes that would generate shopping lists for you, and the ability to categorize and then adjust categories to your own store is essential. I would have given it 1 more star if I KNEW that the iTunes sync for sure backed up my data AND/OR it had a web sync feature as well. Thanks for a great application.

Amazingly helpful!. This app has been such an amazing tool to simplify my grocery lists. I entered my recipes and can add all the needed ingredients with just one tap. I love that you can completely customize your shopping list by rearranging aisles and adding new aisles. It won't add the same ingredient from separate recipes if the measurement types are different (cup vs ounces) but it is a minor complication. It would be helpful to catagorize recipes (appetizers, main dishes, desserts, etc) for simplified searching but even without that feature this app has been a life saver!

It's nice. This is a nice grocery list, easy to add items and I love the add from recipe feature. I'd love to be able to have a separate list for different stores - does anyone shop at "just one store"? One other feature I'd like - it's not exactly zen, but very practical - I'd like to be able to add prices. Being able to track prices for comparison shopping would be lovely, and the ability to keep a running total before heading to check out would be fantastic to help me stay in my budget.

Great App. Every so often I browse the app store to make sure that there isn't a new app that does a better job than the one I have. None of the other grocery apps let you add recipe ingredients with the same ease as this one does. I can customize my lists by using all caps or adding asterisks to names of items for different categories (all caps means buy organic etc...). Suggestions for updates would be to allow recipes to be added from other online sites, for example if I see a recipe I like on Food Network, I could click to add it to my GZ list. It would also be helpful to be able to upload or import from another source. Any thoughts of creating a website and allowing data entry there and syncing with iPhone? I am wondering how hard would it be to add the ability to add prices and track list/recipe total costs? Overall, great app. Easily customizable, easy to use and really helpful. Makes a dreaded task almost fun. Erin

The BEST. This is just how I think for grocery lists. I looked at a lot of other options too. If you want something simple this is it. If you need prices and coupons etc, this is not it for you. My only complaint is that it's a little too sensitive crossing things off the list. Sometimes, I just want to scroll through the list and it will check off an item instead.

Finally!. I saw this app profiled online a couple of months back and had been waiting for it. I needed a grocery list app and was getting antsy since there are a bunch of grocery apps in the App Store. I must say I am glad I waited! This app rocks. It has a huge built in list that is easy to add to and will organize recipes by ingredient. I look forward to more updates for this cool app! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Best app for the way I shop. I love the ability to select a recipe & add to list. I use this feature as I use weekly menus containing recipes or when I am at the store and need ideas, or when I find an ingredient on sale and want to use it for one of my recipes. I also use recipes to list items I buy at specific stores (i.e. Health food store, etc.) and I have a recipe "Every" for basics to get every shopping trip. My couponing method is to separate coupons by month, so I have month "recipes" with ingredients that I have coupons for that expire that month. Here's the catch, I would like to see a program upgrade that flags the ingredients that I have coupons for so that when those ingredients are added from a meal recipe or store recipe, I will be able to see I have a coupon and should pull it from my file. Right now I add a dollar sign to the name of the ingredient as my flag, but it can disappear with long ingredient names. I also will second the request for some way to handle long lists of recipes. Perhaps the ability to search that narrows the field with each letter entered?

Covers what's missing from the rest - Quantity option. Was waiting for a quantity option in a shopping list. Plus this has a simplified search and recipes and let's me organize the store aisles to match my store's layout. You did good, and I reward you with my money.

Seriously speeds up shopping. This app is surprisingly versatile, given some imagination. A "recipe" is just a group of items (with associated quantities). So I have a "recipe" for "Trader Joe's Run". It's just all the stuff I usually buy there. By selecting that one recipe, I've got my shopping list! And if I don't need a particular thing, I just check it off as if I bought it! Super simple. I shopped with my iPod Touch in one hand, and the basket in the other. I BLEW through the store. It's a great one-handed app. It's GREAT that this app has lots of grocery items already built into it. You don't have to enter them all. When you are shopping, the items are sorted in Aisle order. Very handy. Re-ordering the Aisles is a bit tricky. You go to Items Edit (choose an item), then Aisle, then Edit. You can then order the Aisles any way you want! My wish: that I could have a different aisle-order for each store, and be able to tell the app what store I'm in! Developers: please don't overcomplicate this app. Right now it's in a sweet-spot. Just add my one feature, and it'll be perfect! :-) Great app!

Needs backup to cloud or Mac. This program would be a big winner if it would back up its data base either to a web site or the Mac. Otherwise you have to put all your changes, recipes, and lists in again if you have a crash in any app (including those backed up) that necessitates a complete erase and restore.

Easy to use. Adding items is very easy because they are all there and you just type the first two letters and pop it on your grocery list. Then when shopping you just tap the items you get and pop they go onto the gotten list. I like the recipe idea. However, could you make it possible to search and download recipes instead of needing to type them in? This would be nice. Thanks.

Great app! Needs menu planner. I love this app. It allows me to save recipes and add ingredients to my grocery list. I made a recipe for common items so that I could keep track of my staples. I do wish it had a menu planner. It just needs to be basic. It could even be a weekly list that I could create right from my recipe list. Right now I'm going to notepad to keep a list of my recipes for the week. I wish I didn't have to switch apps.

Makes grocery shopping easy!. I have always hated putting together grocery lists. You have to pick out recipes from multiple books, write out all the items, make sure the list is organized so you don't miss anything... blah blah. It used to take forever and I always put it off until we were really out of food. Not anymore. Thanks to GroceryZen, preparing to get groceries is quick and easy. Enter all your favorite recipes (okay, that takes some time, but you only have to do it once!) and quickly add either all of the ingredients, or just the ones that you are missing. I love that the list is configurable and that you can change what aisle something is in and re-order the aisles. It even almost makes grocery shopping exciting ;)

Needs quantity in recipe. I love how this app is easy to use and it makes shopping easier, but the recipes don't have a quantity so you don't know if "flour" means 1tsp or 5 cups. Also if you add two recipes to your list that contain some flour then you end up with "2 flour". If this were fixed I would rate the app 5 stars, and for the price this functionality should be there.

I use this every shopping trip!. This app is awesome for so many reasons! I like selecting the items as opposed to typing each of them out. I also LOVE LOVE LOVE that I can email the list. I email it to my husband from time to time and all he has to do is import it. AMAZING!! I never grocery shop without it! I would rank 5 full stars if they would make an iPad version. Right now I run the iPhone version which is adequate, but you know... Also, cloud functionality would be awesome for my lists so I don't have to email them to myself if I make a list on my iPad and just take my phone grocery shipping. Great product!

Excellent Shopping App. I have used this app for over a year and really like it. True - you have to add a few things to your list up front but once your usual staples are in there it goes pretty easy week by week. I can usually make my weekly grocery list for a family of 4 in about 5 mins or less and once I get to the store I rarely have to back-track. That's saying a lot considering I am a guy. My wish list: 1- categorized recipes, 2-synchronization to a backup.

Simple, does what I need it to do. I started with SplashShopper, but its interface (not to mention the sync issues) drove me to find a simpler alternative. GroceryZen works for what I needed from an app like this. I love the ability to quickly & easily rearrange & add aisles to match my store's layout, and adding items is very easy as well. I've been in touch with the developer about a couple of enhancements I'd like. More text displayed in the shopping list is supposed to be in an update, and on the issue of data backup outside of Apple's process, they're looking at it. Greg's a very responsive developer. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this app.

Best Grocery App. I've tried about every grocery app and this one works best for me but it's still pretty terrible. Grocery apps seem so simple and there are so many why are they all so weak? I like that you can create your own master list of items easily so you don't have hundreds of things in the main list you'd never ever buy. Searching for items is great. The killer feature is the "recipe" feature but this is poorly named. It's really sub-lists. So you can have a recipe of things you normally buy every week and you can easily go through that list and add what you are out of. Or quickly add all the ingredients of a dish you're going to make. The biggest problem is the incredibly, no, amazingly, awful way it handles quantities. You can advance the quantity forward by tapping the quantity of an item. But if your default is 3 then it advances by 3s (one tap = 6), if your default is 1 1/2 pounds one tap gets you to 3 pounds. Any other quantity change (including removing from your shopping list) requires going to an edit screen and selecting quantity and then saving. And then the app often erases the aisle info for that item. Developer responded quickly to say I was wrong about this bug. When I gave them step-by-step instructions that always recreate it they didn't respond. I don't know if it's been updated in months. If so the changes were minute. Basically it's useful but obnoxious but still the best in a surprisingly weak class of apps.

The best. So simple, easy to make your own recipes and lists. And easy to send list to hubby!

Best of any I've seen. As you may be able to sense from my review, this comes from an anal retired engineer. Several years ago when my wife gave me the opportunity to do the grocery shopping, I immediately began working on an “everything we ever buy” list, and had the items roughly entered by aisle. In the pre-iPhone years, I would print out a list and my wife would highlight everything we needed on the next shopping trip. I would take the list and do the shopping. This worked fairly well and kept me from wondering the aisles. After seeing GroceryZen as a new App, I realized it had just what I wanted, and more. It also appeared very easy to use. Since purchasing the Program, I have NOT been disappointed. It works great. Yes, it took a little work to enter in all my items and appropriately name the rows of my favorite grocery store but now that it is done, shopping is a breeze. Even if I shop at a different store, items are usually similarly grouped To easily order the aisle, I started each aisle name with the aisle number. That really helped. No looking up to read the aisle name signs in the store. Like the iPhone itself, the list is always conveniently with you, to select an item whenever you think of it. This is and will remain a 5 star program for me.

Love this app!. I absolutely love this app but some reason it’s not working with the latest iOS 14.2 update. I’m really hoping the the developer will keep this app up to date so I can continue to you use it! I customize everything & have a lot of recipes which I would hate to lose. I’m crossing my fingers this would be fixed!!

Great app - please update!!. Please update! I love this app and now I can’t use it!!

Idea for an upgrrade. Love this app and use it all the time. I cut and paste recipes into all the time and use it for every trip to the grocery store. One thing that would make it even better though, is if I could catagorize my recipes: main dishes, holidays, side dishes, etc. I now have so many recipes, it takes awhile to sort throught them all. :) Thanks for a great app though!

Doesn’t work after the update. I love this app and have so many lists. It’s disappointing that is no longer works after the update.

Nice App, has some bugs. I really like this app and use it every week. It has a very intuitive interface and all the features I need. The only problem is that deleting items from the list is buggy. If, on the items screen, you Edit and start deleting items, instead of deleting items it scrolls you to another part of the list. If I delete a single item by swiping it, then the list will not scroll until the app is restarted. Fix those bugs and this rating will be a five. One feature I would like to see is to be able to tag an item with a small note. For example, 2oz, or get brand 'x'. This would not be a permanent note for the item, but just for a single trip.

Good App. I would have given it 5 stars if it had come with more recipes AND you could modify the number of items for a shopping trip AND you could add cooking instructions for a recipe. It's nice though to be able to add something to my shopping list whenever and not worry about forgetting something or going home to get my list!

Really useful!. I've entered more than 300 recipes and have also made a "recipe" that includes all of our regularly purchased items (e.g., garbage bags, eggs, milk, laundry detergent, etc.). Easy to use, easy to share (sending grocery list or recipe to someone else), and exactly what I was hoping for from the description. I would love to also have an "appendix" type tab where I could click on broccoli, bring up the list of recipes that use broccoli, then click directly to a recipe to add all of the ingredients. You can almost do this now if you edit the "items" list, each item will show you which recipes it's in - just a little cumbersome now. All in all, glad I spent the money!

Another list app with little use. Until this app gets more functionality than notes or can import recipes (it comes with 3) save your money. I'd be more forgiving if this had an awesome feature such as being able to store what items you have at home and compare that to a recipe and tell you what to shop for, but it doesn't. It takes the entire list for a recipe. It also has an the odd feature that tells you when you need a vacation. If you have to use the item location to remember that milk is in dairy it's personal day time.

Pretty Good. It is very functional, But i have lost 2 sets of recipes when i had to update, the program is lacking a backup feature. This is a shame, since i got the product for the shop by recipe feature. This works really well. Overall the program is very good, i like the initial food lists, and adding items is easy. Another feature you should consider is allowing quantities in the recipes them selves, not just be a bulk item. I wanted to use the recipe feature to keep recipes so i don't have to find the amounts, it is very tedious to write in the amounts in the instruction section. Other then the backup and refining the recipe input it is a great product, i use it daily now - every time i shop!

Still has a way to go.... ... but recent updates have improved this application a lot. I use Grocery Zen to shop so I was relieved when most of the maddening bugs were fixed. I'm waiting for the feature that allows me to sync, share and enter new items and recipes from my computer. Currently adding recipes manually is laborious. Whilst the new email feature is good I'd also like to be able to sms my shopping list (I know I know - doesn't EVERYONE have an iPhone or Blackberry?).

This one is first class. After tiring of the lack of index/search in my original shopping assistant I researched all the ones I could find in the store and trialled four of them. This has proven the best. It is fast to use, whether adding to the shopping list, buying items or adding new items. A purchased item falls to the bottom of the list, clarifying what it is you have still to buy, and management of quantities is very easy, allowing weights or volumes as well as counts. I like the fact there were not too many items in its pre-loaded list. It made it quicker to get rid of the ones I don't buy or where we use different terms in this country. Changing the "aisles" and adapting them to different purposes was also straightforward. When you have finished buying, the simple Check Out button removes your purchased list from display. I was not looking for the "Recipes" function but it might prove handy and, most importantly, it does not intrude at all on the main functions. I am pleased that it is not burdened with pricing, budgets, calculators and other time-wasting flummery, but that just expresses what I want and may not be right for you. For speed, flexibility and effectiveness, this one is first class, and highly recommended.

Awesome!. My husband and I have been using this app for years now. Also have a few friends that swear by it too! I work from home, my husband doesn't. He is the grocery shopper. He compiles a list on his iphone, I check to see what we have in the house & compile one on my iPhone, the send it to him and they merge- a thing of beauty! We also use the recipe area for recipes we make frequently by adding them in manually.

Grocery Zen. Please update your app or I'll have to delete it. iPhone has advised that the current edition will slow down my phone! I've loved using this app up until now.

Excellent app. I've been using this app on a weekly basis for the last year and i absolutely love it! It lacks export/import the master item list and import recipes but it is still great. Highly recommended!

Great App!. I love how I can add the recipe into the app and with a single tap add all items to my shopping list. A quick check of current home inventory and I can cross items off with a tap. My only complaint is that if you have different units of measure (3 cups of milk in one recipe, 2 tbsp. in another), it won't combine them, and in one instance it reset all of my measurements in one recipe!! Not fun seeing as how I can't find the book that I got that recipe from! Fix this, and 5 stars for sure!!

Mr.. Great app. Real timesaver with one button presses for quantities and one click recipe ingredients added. Very intuitive and well thought out.

Love it!. I love this app! It is easy to you and great to overlook! I especially love that I have my recipe book with me in one app. I would be totally pumped if it would have a weekly "meal planner" as well, so I only have to use one app! It would also be nice if you could add prices to items!

Not that great. They fail to mention that there is only 3 built in recipes and only 3 photos to go with those recipes. I bought this app because I thought it would inspire me to make something new but it only has 3 recipes? What the heck? Basically, don't buy it for that reason. I use it to make my grocery list and in that sene it works well for me, it is simple. I wish you could have more than one grocery list though.

Perfect! Just what we needed.. Not only saves time, but money (and stress!) too. Having your grocery list with me all the time lets me add items whenever I think of them, saving that 'smack the forehead' feeling when you arrive home from the store to remember the things you forgot. Sorting the items by aisle is brilliant, and I love the feeling of checking items off and actually having your grocery list shrink. Once there's a way to add recipes via the computer, that feature will also be killer.

More recipies. I thought it would be easier to get more. If there is a way, I'm not sure how to do it.

Room fo improvements. Decent app but needs ability to plan menus for the week and build shopping list from that.

Love it!. I have been looking for an application that was reasonably priced that made it easy to add items to my grocery list. The recipe feature was an added bonus! Highly recommend

The only shopping app with Zen. I have compared a lot of the shopping apps in the App Store and this is by far the best - at least for my needs. Yes, there are apps out there with more features but a lot of them suffer from feature bloat. It might make sense to add prices and aisles and coupons and stores - but honestly, when you are in the store shopping for groceries you don't really have the time for all that stuff. I want to get things done in a fast, easy and efficient way and this app is the best. It's also the only one that passed the SOT (Significant Other Test). When you are shopping with your spouse (who might not be as technically inclined as you are) you gotta be quick on your feet. Add items, lose items, change items - and you better do it quickly. This app might not look the part but it is well thought out and it really shines in the store. And that's what matters. Plus: the recipe function rocks! There are three things though that prevent me from giving it five stars. I am not sure if it is actively developed - that's a big downside in my book. And it's not that great outside the store. I'd love to fine-tune my list of items at home before my next shopping trip. In my study I do have the time to really think about my items and group them accordingly. A web-based client to re-arrange and edit my items and recipes would be awesome. Of course you would need some sort of syncing solution for that - but this ties in nicely with my other caveat: emailing my lists is nice - but instant syncing would be so much better. There are other apps that do this. I'd love to sync my current list, my general list of items AND their categories with a web-based version AND with my significant other. That way we could shop in the same store and spread out and see what the other already got. Or I could go shopping and my wife could check her iPhone at home and add missing items that she just thought of. The app - as it is - is great. If you ask me, it's the best. But syncing would make it really awesome.

Ms. Bad app if u know splashshopper. No way to keep lists for more than one store. I just wasted $4.99

GroceryZen. This app is the pits. Will not open once downloaded. iPhone firmware is up to date. No excuse for this terrible app. I want my money back!

Love it. Ideally love this app. I love to have a list when I shop and this is perfect. You can costonize how ever you want.

Really Good but Needs Two Small Things. This is the best so far for customized grocery lists and recipes, but PLEASE add a way to "track" what recipes you've added to grocery list and add folders to organize recipes! Other than that, love it!

Wonderful. I put my menus/regular meals in receipes. Touch items I need, Great! Now I come home from groc with several complete meals. Customize the list for one touch items. Love this app.

Where is my review?. I wrote a review the other day and included some suggestions but now I don't see it. I did hit send--shouldn't it publish instantly? What happenned? I think my suggestions were really good and I don't want them to be lost!

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. I wish apps came with a trial period because I'm tired of wasting money on apps like this. You can't add quantity of items to list, also they are not recipes they are ingredients list big whoop, does you no good without the actual recipe. Hope your enjoying everyones 5 bucks cuz your gonna choke on it sooner than later Very dissapppointed. " DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY"

Awesome. This has helped so much with eating in as opposed to dining out. When I'm at the grocery store I can browse recipes and make sure I get all that I need. Very easy to use -- and addictive.

Keep up the good work!. Love this app. Needs some tweaking: add more default items and/ or let us save added items to default list. "clear all" for shopping list w/o removing from default list. Good concept, though.

Please add feature to share recipes.. Looks good. But, I'm not looking forward to inputting recipes into both my and my wife's iPhones.

Not much to this . Very disappointed. Very disappointed. The list included in the app contains very few items and when you add them you're unable to edit the category/aisle. You'd think something as simple as half & half would be included.

Useless. A waste of time.. This app tries but fails to deliver the goods. Comes with only 3 recipes. Thousands of default items are missing. Building a recipe permanently stores "don't have" items into memory causing the shopping basket to fill up with hundreds of mixed-recipe items. There is no "clear all" from the shopping list. Gave up after struggling with 3 recipes. Discovered it was useless.

Great so far. Great app, but would love to be able to sort list by category instead of alphabetical. I want to be able to put all my cereals in without having to jump all through the alphabet. Please!!!! Thanks.

The cook of the house. This is an efficient app and I really like the concept and structure. As others have said, the ability to import recipes would make this much better though. I'm also dissappointed with the limited existing list of items. For the 2 recipes I've entered so far, I've had to manually add 4 common items (onions, pineapple, etc.). I'm glad I bought this, but there's room for improvement.

Recipe?. I thought there would be more than three recipes in the app.

another shopping app?. Yet another shopping app with the twist that you can also store recipes. If shopping for a recipe, you can add all the ingredients to your shopping list with one click. A useful improvement would be to add the ability to import recipes (pictures, ingredients, directions) from cooking websites, and save the manual steps.

Simple. I love this app, but the iOS 7 version is less visually efficient. Please put some grey in the aisle headings to separate them from the items listed!!! The white really confuses my eyes and frustrates me. I can't fast scan items in aisles. It looks like one long list. I understand you wanted to be cohesive with iOS 7, but it's not functional. Overall, it meets my needs in a way that a paper list can't. My phone is always with me so I can always add items when I have a random thought about something I want to buy. I live how editable the item list is. I created a Trader Joe aisle so I have a TJ shopping list as well as a grocery store list. I love that it sorts my shopping list by aisle! My trip through the store was so efficient before this white design change.

Very useful, but.... Alphabetize please!!!! Like others, I use the "recipes" as sub-lists and add aisles for different stores. I add to it throughout the week and use it every time I shop. It's a 3.5 stars. Alphabetization would make it a 5.

Time saver!. One of my favorite apps! Saves time and I save my recipes so it helps me pick out what I'm going to make for the week! No more forgetting an ingredient

Almost works..... Input some recipes into the proram: added the recipe items to the shopping list within the program; deleted items from the shopping list (because we had those items in the pantry) and in the process deleted the items from both the master item list and the recipe list. Did anyone actually try to use this app before selling it? How do I get a refund?

4 Could be a 5. I agree with other reviewers. Need to be able to alphabetized isles. I am like most other I shop in the same sequence. So if I could put the isles in my stores order, that would be great. I find myself missing isles because it was so far down the list. I use this ap all the time. Looking forward to an update!

Needs my most used feature. Aisle sorting.. I like most of the features of the program but can not use it for day to day shopping because it does not sort by aisle by store for items that are purchased in multiple stores. The main reason for using the electronic shopping list for us is to sort the items by aisle. Please do not assume the category of the item such as produce can be used instead of the aisle numbers. This program does not allow an item to be sorted by aisle in multiple stores. By this I mean an item such as milk can be purchased at a number of different stores that have the item on different aisles. So if I tell the program I am shopping at Safeway, it should sort the items that are available at Safeway by the aisle numbers at this particular Safeway store. But if I decide to stop at Target, milk should be on my list sorted by the aisle at Target with the rest of the items that are available at Target. Then when I check it off my list, it will also be checked off of the Safeway list even though I purchased it at Target. Most if not all of the shopping programs assume the items purchased are available only at one particular store, which is not true for most items. I plan to stick with my palm pilot and use Handyshopper until someone comes out with the aisle sorting for multiple stores. I have been using Handyshopper on the palm for over 10 years and do not want to loose the best feature of a shopping program which is to save me from backtracking through the store looking for items.

Thank you!!!!. Just right! 5 stars if added pictures on item description.

NO UPDATE!. Love the app but there have been no updates for years! What's up guys??????

Still the best. I keep coming back to this app. It is still the only grocery/recipe app that runs off of a database of ingredients, which makes adding your own recipes very quick and easy. Most other apps just give you a text box to write the ingredients in. That is tedious. I hope the developers will resume working on this app. Features I'd like to see: High res graphics Item combination in grocery list: i.e. one recipe calls for 2 onions, another for 1, the grocery list says "3 onions". Cloud syncing for backups. I lost all of my recipes once with this app. Still debating entering them all in again.

***. Great app. I use it all the time. I never write a shopping list anymore.

Great App!. I use this everyday and it has made grocery shopping so much easier & faster. No more paper notes! Only suggestion would be for Recipe tab - need to be able to import recipes. No way I'm going to spend the time typing in all of my recipes!

Disappointed, is this really it?. I am only seeing three photos of recipes. Only bought for a pairing with food52, any suggestions on why this app seems so empty?

Simple and worth the price.. Love this app, I keep it on my first page on my iphone. Interface means a lot to me when it comes to deciding between a few apps that do the same thing. That is exactly why this app won me over.
