3/5Ok, but needs features
The app is ok, but it really should have the option to add new products or request them. I like that I’m able to keep track of some classic items I love but there’s so much new stuff TJs adds that isn’t available on this app yet. Bummer, this app has potential since there is no official TjS app.

1/5Not very useful
It’s more of a hit and miss information app nothing more as it states love more of what seems to be a popular product right now. Would love if Trader Joe’s finally came out with an actual app where you can see what’s in stock , recipes, where you can get the list of products you need for your meal right in the app as a shopping list and the can shop. And place a pick up order and pick it up during time slots. It would be so beneficial for most customers with work and everyday life as well as help with stores getting rushed at certain times and being packed in an already small not best store layout for high volume of customers and feeling like a stuffed can of sardines. Other ten that it’s a great store you see what ur paying wi store easy to keep track of cost just get very overwhelming before you make it mid store due to how packed it is during certain times frams and most people don’t even try to finish you just want air to you rather then finish shopping just pay and hope to finish another day. I just feel it would be very very beneficial for all involved whether it’s the business, employees and customers .

2/5Account and Sign-In Required
I was hoping to use this app to search products at my local TJ and create a shopping list, which appear to be functions. However, while the description plainly says “no sign in” and “no account” required, I cannot create a list without signing in. Glitch or intentional? If the former, pls correct; if the latter, change your description as it is false and misleading. Also, I can’t identify my “default store,” which would be helpful from a searching perspective.

3/5Solo/Passionate dev, developed this app (not a team)
Responding to developer: I truly apologize. This was not mentioned in description - I did not know. I understand your plight. You’re solo and doing this as a fan (not being directly paid). Please.. place at the *top* your description that you are solo, and doing as a fan - not being paid) to avoid direct shots. To avoid reviewers like myself.. Whom are aiming shots at a full fledged teams.

2/5Can’t find products
Pretty terrible search function. Wanted to add simple item to my list: the search for fresh garlic bulbs turned up 588 items, none of which were garlic. Onions sure, but not garlic. Chives also gave me 100s of items, none of which were chives. Resorted to using my local grocery store app.
