Overall

The case

OurGroceries has been on American phones for a decade-plus. Dated, syncs, gets out of the way. No ambitions to run a household.

Long U.S. install base. UI has not kept up.

Best for
Families who want the simplest shared list
Not for
Meal planning or calendar work
Pricing (U.S.)
Free with ads; cheap one-time or annual upgrade
Platforms
iOS · Android · Web

Where it wins

  • Clear job in a crowded U.S. family-app field
  • A surface at least one parent will actually open

Where it lags

  • Stops at storing the plan
  • Follow-through still sits with a parent
