Best Grocery App

Ive tried about every grocery app and this one works best for me but its 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 dont have hundreds of things in the main list youd never ever buy. Searching for items is great.

The killer feature is the "recipe" feature but this is poorly named. Its 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 youre 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 didnt respond.

I dont know if its been updated in months. If so the changes were minute.

Basically its useful but obnoxious but still the best in a surprisingly weak class of apps.
