1. 4/5A Couple Suggestions

   I’m a new user...as in, I’m actually still trying to figure out the whole system. So far, I like it. I was a GroceryIQ user for probably 6-8 years, and I believe that app is being discontinued. This is the closest thing I’ve been able to find to that app in terms of store, category and item organization. I have two requests/suggestions, however. The first is that a weight option be added to pricing. I use the price by weight tool for cheeses, meats, and some produce. Being able to price things according to weight will help keep the accuracy of my overall budget when shopping. My second suggestion is a reverse info input on barcode scanning- right now, from what I can tell, the scanner either knows the barcode or doesn’t. The feature to add UPC codes to the item info is helpful, but it would also be neat to be able to scan and, if the barcode is unknown, immediately be able to fill in the necessary information for the product. That way the user doesn’t have to manually add the UPC numbers. So far, this is the most comprehensive shopping list app that I have been able to find, and I appreciate the features it already has- especially the option to add or remove sales tax (we don’t have sales tax on groceries in CA). If the developers are looking for new features to add, I think the price-by-weight and reverse barcode input would be two great ones to add.

2. 5/5Categories appear to be fixed

   Love this cleanly designed and easy-to-use grocery list that I can add items to whenever I happen to remember them. After using this app for years, I was getting very frustrated with some category issues mentioned by other reviewers. I started looking for other solutions, but this app still looks nicer and functions better for this purpose than any of the other grocery list or regular list apps I tried. I agonized over what to do, since this really affects my workflow. I finally created a new account on Out of Milk and started fresh. When I started out I had no categories, so I added my own and so far so good. It seems that the developers released an update before they really should have, but that the category issues have finally been fixed. I like having a separate app just for groceries, because I need different functions than on my regular to-do list. The only wish I have is that the to-do list section, which I'm not even using, be turned into some type of menu planning tool, which I would absolutely use. I tried another app that lets you store recipes and make menu plans, but it was cumbersome and ugly. I really don't need to store recipes because it would take too long to constantly add new ones (I like to try new things, so I'm not an "every Tuesday we have tacos" kind of cook). However, it would be nice to have a basic calendar where I could just list what I plan to cook each day.

3. 5/5Our most used app!

   We have used this app now for well over four years and it has become our favorite app. We use the app as a family and add items of groceries or other shopping needs throughout the week. It automatically and with great ease updates the items across multiple users so that whoever is shopping at the particular store can retrieve the item and once retrieved it delete it so that others do not duplicate it’s purchase. If you prefer, you can also use a barcode scan feature and easily add an item to your list that way. When we first downloaded the app, there were a few bugs and one ad feature that was not our favorite. These bugs have since been fixed and the ad feature removed and now it is a slick and seamless app! I cannot praise it highly enough. Thank you THANK YOU to developers for Making this wonderful app. It has made grocery so easy!!! This is the first and only review I have made to any app. That tells you how much we love and appreciate it!!

4. 1/5I love Out of Milk...

   ...but recent upgrades have made it less user friendly. The problems I have seen are with sorting categories and editing items. I shop at the same grocery store every week. I walk through the store the exact same way every trip. When I create a list for that store, I should be able to pre-set the order of the categories on that list. However, no matter how many times I sort the categories on my list...every week they go back to being ordered a different way! The app forces me to re-sort my grocery list every week, which is ridiculous, because it won’t save my changes to the Manage Categories list. Second- I have to add prices to my items EVERY WEEK. For example, I buy Cheerios every week. But every week when I make my list, the edited item from the previous week (where I’ve entered the price) is sorted to Uncategorized. So I have to select the correctly categorized version of the item and re-enter the price EVERY WEEK. Or, I have to choose the correctly priced version of the item, and re-categorize it to Breakfast EVERY WEEK! Out of Milk is intended to make shopping easier and more organized, and it used to do that! But recently, it has more than doubled the time it takes to make a list, and increased the amount of time I have to spend in the store every week. Please, PLEASE, fix these issues because I love Out of Milk and I don’t want to use a different list app!

5. 1/5I use to LOVE it now I LOATHE it

   I’ve used this app for years and loved how easy it was to add items and shop with everything in order of how I walk through my store. Over the last several months they’ve changed things and have made it increasingly difficult to do that. Now the newest update has made me decide I can’t use this app anymore. What once was a simple and easy process of making up our weekly menu and grocery list has become so frustrating that I get so angry I have to walk away. Then when I go to shop I constantly have to back track because my categories are no longer in order (even though I have adjusted them dozens of times). Now they have their own new categories that they try to force you to use and they are SO inconvenient and counterproductive ! My store does not sell their milk by their cheese and neither of those are by the yogurt so putting them all under “dairy” is extremely inefficient and confusing when I’m walking through my store. I used to have three separate categories for these and would grab things as I went, that’s no longer an option. I have deleted these new categories multiple times and they show they’re gone from my list but as soon as I add a new item they come right back. I would have easily given this app 5 stars (more if I could) before and I’ve recommended it to dozens of people but now I have very few positive things to say. Also, all the products I’ve added and the prices I have put in over the last several years are suddenly gone completely. I kept waiting for the developers to fix the previous problems they created but instead they’ve only added more.
