Grocery Buddy
Arlington, Virginia, USA
What it is
Grocery Buddy is a grocery-list app for Android and iOS, with tools for making lists easier to use while shopping. Lists can include product pictures to help identify the intended item, including when a family member is shopping. As users type, autocomplete brings up frequently bought items based on their purchases, and the list organizes itself. Users can share lists, sync them in real time, set recurring items, and scan barcodes. The service also provides grocery price comparison and lets users submit prices. Its free plan includes all features, and there is no free trial. Users can use the service without registering, though some features may require an account. The privacy policy says the service may collect mobile-device geolocation; users can disable this in app settings, but some features may then be unavailable. Information from users outside the United States may be transferred, processed, and stored in the United States. The company says it takes reasonable measures to protect information but cannot guarantee its security.
