Wegmans

I am assuming I am not the only one that buys the same products. I would like a favorites or pantry list that I can work from to create my shopping list(s), the app offers frequently purchased items but that’s not my pantry and it’s typically things I recently purchased, other list options are nice when trying to search for something I had purchase. Would like the option to add to a specific shopping list(s) and add to a pantry/favorites list. From the favorites list would like to be able to add to a shopping list. The ability to easily add to any list is not an option either, you have to go back and change your list.. makes it hard for meal planning. Wegmans stopped mailing useful coupons and now offer coupons on the app that are not tailored to standard products and is mostly specialty. Other grocery stores give you coupons at check out tailored to your purchases or purchase history. Not Wegmans.

I've generally found this app to be extremely useful. I've never experienced any login problems like other people describe, and I never get logged out of the app. I like the way it sorts the grocery list by aisle (it's not perfect—some items show up in the wrong location, but I know what those are in terms of stuff we usually buy), and I like that it remembers what brand I bought in the past. ———- Update on Jan. 19, 2020: Wegmans released a new version of this app this week. It’s useless. I used to create a new shopping list each week and add items to it. In the new app, it prepopulated my list with 35 items I had previously bought but don’t want to buy this time, and when I created a new list, it wouldn’t save items to my new list but rather to the 35-item list the programmers apparently want me to use. Plus there’s no "help" feature to tell me how to fix this. I wound up deleting all 35 items to start a new list. It also no longer lists my prior products, which is a pain—being able to tap "My Products" to see what I’d bought before and re-add it was very useful for items I don’t buy every week. That feature is gone and now you have to scroll past a bunch of stuff you probably do not want in an attempt to find what you need.

Wegmans is a great chain and the app is generally better than those of other grocery stores. For one thing they allow you to put together your shopping list before you go and see the actual prices you’ll pay for each item. My wife and I use this religiously to help stay within our budget. We build our grocery list at the end of each week before going to the store and have the kids check each item off as we walk around. It kept them busy and made sure we got everything. Once everything was checked off at the end of the list it would ask you if you wanted to clear the list. Now that feature has been dropped, and we wish the developers would bring it back. Another great feature that we wish would come back was the ‘my products’ filter in the search bar. This handily prevents “husband error”, which is where I buy the wrong thing because I haven’t bought it before and can’t read minds. Man I hope they read this and bring that back too.

I used to LOVE this app and would have given it 5 stars. It was so convenient to plan lists ahead and use while shopping in the store. However, the recent update has taken away the functionalities I found most useful. My biggest frustration is the loss of the “Delete selected items” option. I would do that as I shopped in the store, otherwise it’s easy to miss items higher up in my list that I would have gone back for, like in the dairy section. There are also often out of stock items that I couldn’t purchase this trip but would like to keep on the list for next time, and now there isn’t an easy way to do that without selecting each item manually to delete. The checkboxes have also gotten very tiny. I am a young, tech-savvy person with small fingers, but I kept accidentally clicking into an item instead of checking it off the list. My other favorite feature was the ability to filter by “My Products” when searching to see items I had purchased before. If none of these things are changed I will likely stop using the app, it has become much more inconvenient.

I’m not sure how this app gets so many bad reviews as it is hands down the best grocery store app of all the major chains I’m familiar with (shop-rite, stop and shop, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Costco, etc). In fact it’s not even close. The app tracks your purchases, keeps receipts, presents great recipes and suggests coupons. But greater than all that is the functionality around building your shopping list and searching for items in the store. The app allows you to add items to your shopping list from your previous purchases, recipes, or search function. Every item listed in the app contains the nutritional information and it’s location in your home store!!! This is literally the greatest time saving convenience and no other supermarket does it. As someone who follows a restrictive diet I find this functionality to be essential, and it is what makes me a loyal Wegmans shopper.
