How to use Google’s built-in shopping list (and why you probably should NOT use it)

Where do I start? It’s just possible that no-one at Google actually goes shopping, and it’s clear yet again that this app is just another after thought that will get abandoned in time. It does allow one to create multiple lists (per shop in other words) but everything is just added in one long list which can be alphabetically sorted or kept in the order you added it. Really!!! No manual re-ordering, and no grouping into shopping aisles or categories?

There are also no quantities to be set, or prices, or notes, or photos per item. The app came out a few years back and I’ll bet many don’t know about it. Even the average todo type app will do a better job for shopping lists than this offering.

I’ve long been using Our Groceries app, on both Android and iOS, and it has all my shopping very well organised, including being able to tick items off on my Apple Watch, as I shop. I also did a video overview, just this week, of the Grocy ERP app that does a much better shopping list than Google’s one.

Yes, the Google Shopping List has Google Home integration, but then so does Our Groceries app.
