Flipp: Shop Grocery Deals Reviews

by Starshinenight44

I have loved using Flipp for some time and told many how great Flipp is. The recent update has made Flipp difficult and even impossible to use. Not being able to use Flipp in landscape view (on an iPad) is annoying and difficult. But today I'm looking at grocery ads, and I'm unable to select/mark 95% of the items that interest me. After trying to select other things in the ad, the majority of the ad cannot be used to make selections so to make a shopping list. This removes a significant functionality of Flipp. I see in a note to another reviewer that the landscape view mode was removed in preparation for a new viewing/browsing change. I will keep an open mind bc this has been a good app, but it will have to be an incredible change to make the portrait mode worthwhile on my iPad. And this assumes that the problems with selecting items in the ads is fixed. Please fix the selection problem asap. Thank you.

Great concept and Flipp works well. However, right now I am finding it rather frustrating for two reasons. 1) It is showing me great prices on things I am looking for but only for stores that are an hour or more away. No one would drive for an hour to a store to save $2 on a pound of bacon. I looked for a way to filter out stores that are too far away but I have not found it. And a simple mile calculation would not be enough, as the length of time it takes to drive somewhere varies by the density of the population. It takes me an hour to drive to some areas near me that are only fifteen miles away. And I have at least fifteen grocery stores within a three mile radius of where I live. So the kind of filter I could use would be store specific.
The second issue has to do with the size of the sale item previews. That is, what one sees when Flipp finds a deal on some item I list. They are too small to see on my phone and I can’t enlarge them with my fingers. If the ability to enlarge them is too difficult to program right now, might I suggest that instead of presenting them two in a row that you present just one per row? Right now I can see the prices but I can’t make out what store the are from without opening that link and looking at the circular.
I would sure appreciate seeing those changes. Thanks!

I would actually give it 3.5 stars (4 is too much as I am frustrated at the moment) but do not have that option. Loved Flipp to begin with...now I find it slacking more often than not. Also, requested stores be added then after months it was, only to not being there a few short weeks later!?!? At times stating the store is not in my area...which is not true! Other times, receiving the message that it there are no flyers when I was presently look at it! Consistently unable to “Clip” coupons to some stores. Incredibly frustrating when these are stores which I shop the most. Despite those issues, I constantly refer family, friends & strangers (in stores) to download the this app app! I am grateful for the developer as I have been able to save some money whether with the coupons or rebates, which is ALWAYS a plus! 😊

I actually enjoy Flipp but now confusion at times and none of the stores honor the coupon Rite Aid Walgreens Fred Meyer‘s you can add the manufacture coupon and it just doesn’t seem to take affect and Albertson’s example they already have their own coupon program so I have them on there because they don’t honor the digital coupons I never have received a manufactures coupon discount from flip with regards to shopping analysis otherwise great album it’s nice to have all coupons in one place and I will say that’s what keeps all the current manufacture coupons on hand it’s just whether or not people pay attention to the receipt For verification at the merchant honored that

Flipp has nearly every feature I’ve been looking for! One thing it’s missing is a way to write notes or prices on the items on the shopping list (i.e. - how much it is, what recipe it’s for, what store to get it at, etc.). I feel this could further improve the ability to plan shopping trips.

The coupon clipping feature could use an improvement, too. I always get suggestions for stores that are nowhere near me despite the fact that I’ve told Flipp my location. It can get a little time-consuming having to sift through which stores I know are close to me every time.

Otherwise Flipp has a nice intuitive design and is very stable. I love that it acts as a “one stop shop” for couponing.

Great with great idea. But- when you are browsing deals, you should pick the stores you want to see. Way Too much junk. You should have settings for the whole app to only show stores you actually want. That could also apply to searches. I should have to reselect the stores I want to shop at every time I search something. Make a setting somewhere to select the stores once, and that is in effect app-wide from coupons to deals to search etc. Flipp is useful if I didn’t have to keep filtering over and over.

The deal section is completely useless without filtering. Some stores I could care less about or don’t go to flood the feed and I have to go through all of them to find the ones I actually want to see.

by Truth-prevails

Why do Walmart product details report “Everyday Low Price” instead of the true price, like all other stores? This means absolutely nothing because one of the purposes of Flipp is to let a price comparison to be made. Since Walmart discontinued the price match (because they are very often higher in price than others) several years ago it would be nice to get the information on all prices to make an informed decision. Having said that, I understand why they don’t want a true amount published, but if the playing field is not level they need to get out of the game. I would like to see them removed from Flipp until they are willing to be transparent with their pricing.

For the most part, this app is great. I just wish there was a way to filter out stores that are farther away than I’m willing to travel. What do I care if some store I’ve never heard of is having a super great sale if I have to travel 30 miles just to get there? I don’t. Or let me permanently filter out specific stores that I know I won’t go to (you can temporarily do this with specific grocery items, but the setting doesn’t stick). The additional adds listed when I’m trying to find the best deal on pork ribs just adds clutter and confusion and makes this an overall less efficient and less enjoyable experience. I hope you guys can add a distance filter or similar function. It would make a world of difference. (Again, really enjoy Flipp otherwise. Thanks for making my shopping easier! 🥰)

I really like this app! It’s easy to use, has a good amount of relevant stores, and is visually pleasing. My favorite feature is the loyalty card category. You’re able to enter in various Loyalty cards/Reward memberships so that you can easily access them when needed. Bye bye keychain barcodes and overstuffed wallets! If you can’t find a store/shop you’re looking for, you can easily request that the store be added. I took away a star because of one important feature that is missing, which is the ability to link directly to a store’s website. I am continuously frustrated by the absence of that feature. But in the scheme of things, Flipp does what it says and certainly has the potential for a 5star rating!

I LOVE Flipp! I’ve told all my friends and family about it. Super helpful and has revolutionized my weekly grocery shopping routine. Please, please, please add Wegman’s to the roundup!
The one thing I’d like to see improved is the personal shopping list. I love that I can tap on adds to put those items in my list, and I especially love that anything I put on my list manually is automatically linked to all my local grocery store adds that have that item on special—and I can share the list with other household members regardless of whether they’re on iPhone or Droid. It’s wonderful! But I’ve been using AnyList for my grocery shopping for a few years and I really like the customizable settings of that app. Like being able to assign my own categories and quantities to items and rearrange those categories however I prefer and add notes for each item and pictures. If you could make your shopping list able to do THAT you would make AnyList obsolete! Thanks!

WOW! What can I say? I have flipped for this app. Flipp is awesome! I moved to the south from the west coast. Trying to save money is difficult here, because by the time you receive the different store ads, in the mail, it's probably ended or the items are out of stock😳.

So, without being equipped with all the ads I had to go online constantly to find what was on sale. Then I stumbled upon Flipp. I love that all I have to do is type in (correctly) the items I'm looking for and I will find it, if on sale near me.

I especially love the fact that you can circle items so you don't forget what items are on sale that you want to buy and the option of using the shopping list feature. I haven't used it yet, but I'm confident it will be just as user friendly.

The ONLY caveat is you MUST spell the item correctly. For those of us who occasionally misspell words like
(i.e. bananas or Hagaan Daz) Flipp says it "no results found". So, don't fret if it says an item is not on sale anywhere because it may be, just check your spelling. Additionally, there are stores that are not on here that are major chain stores. I’m not sure how a store is added, but I hope that changes soon.

Again, Flipp is awesome and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to save money.

I hope Flipp only improves.

I was at first reluctant to download even though reviews of this app were glowing. So then I downloaded app and would ignore it, which then result in me determining it was a was a delete sort of situation. I did this several times until I finally setup this app completely; if I can do it anyone can. It introduces me to new products, helps me organize my errand, and let’s me knew when expensive items become reasonably priced. In short this app has become an a much used resource for me and source of savings support. I highly recommend all give it a try and download it. And don’t be like me, setup and start using immediately. Happy shopping all. 😊

Flipp is the most consumer friendly app I’ve ever used. It saves all your loyalty cards so you never miss out on a deal when you make unscheduled stops, it uploads every store and manufacturer coupon to your loyalty cards and links them together so you have them on hand, it also sends you shopping list reminders when you walk into your favorite stores!!! How awesome is that!!! The only work you have to do is adding the coupons to your loyalty cards through Flipp and if you have rebate or cash back apps, you must upload the receipts to receive your money. Maybe they will do this in the future. Please try it!!!

by SpookiLexi

I love the idea of Flipp. Have used it some personally for a while. (Being an hour from most of the stores included in the add, I haven’t utilized it as much as I might living in a big city.) I suddenly find myself with a housemate who does all the grocery shopping, so I though this would be a great way to share a shopping list. WRONG. We can’t get it to work. Is definitely does not work sharing the link via text message (my iPad to her iPhone). We seems to get it to work once, when I emailed her the link, but I was accidentally logged into an older account (not the one in which I made the list I was trying to share). Once logged in to the correct account, we never could get the lists to link again.

I’ve use Flipp for 6 months and it’s been great. One of the last updates introduced an annoying feature at the bottom of the ad page you choose, a continuous scrolling to “ discover more deals near you,” that resembles any blue colored page you are looking at, so it seems like part of the same ad.

The feature is unnecessary because the home page has his info beautifully arranged. It’s annoying because 1) you no longer quickly scroll to the final page, 2) Blue adds blend into it, creating confusion, and 3) there seems to option to “opt out” of seeing it. Flipp is awesome, and has a wonderful home page and interface, it need to offer the user an choice, but since Flipp is an awesome “free” service, and overall has lots of controls and works pretty good, I must give it high marks. Thanks, Ed

I’m a college student who just moved off campus and now I’m looking at weekly ads on paper. I also have ADHD and I struggle to find my backpack keys and wallet almost every other hour, so keeping track of shopping lists and ads are difficult. I also almost always end up spending over an hour grocery shopping when I went in with a plan to only get 3 things...but then I lose my shopping list and then misplace my basket somewhere in the store and yeah you get the idea. Well Flipp is a game changer! I can circle the things I want in Flipp and then I have my planned items on my phone, I get reminders when those offers are about to expire, and on top of that I can add my cards for each store to Flipp . Life is still disorganized but it’s one less thing to lose when I’m at the store!

by AlyAych

Flipp keeps me as organized as one can get, when they are the most disorganized of humans.
The shopping list portion is my most used, although, the fact that I can browse and clip grocery ad’s simultaneously is a win!
The only thing I’d wish to change is when I add items to my shopping list, I’d like to be able to drag and drop the item into the category I choose, rather than Flipp choosing the food category for me.
ie. If I write “Wheat English Muffins” it goes into the “Other” category instead of “Bakery.” When more than one individual shops in this house, it pays to be specific, and it also helps if everything could stay in its own category to make shopping simple for all. I have lived without this feature and can continue to do so, but it never hurts to throw it out there.
Overall, great app!

by Jojoeinn

When I first download The flip App I was very exited to know I can see the sale adds with out going and buying a news paper or to stop by and pick up a sale ad at the business, now in the past few months I don’t let like it anymore, because I could see the currant ad expiring on Tuesday and the new ad that will be coming out on wed, I could compare the two ads and know what I could buy on Tuesday and couldn’t buy, because might not be on sell. But could be on sale Wednesday. That doesn’t happen anymore. I have told many shoppers about your app but now feel disappointed that I did. Thank you for you time

by DiamondsDarling

This is an excellent app to have with you all the time, on your cell phone! When you are out and need to get some items or do your weekly shopping, where else can you cruise to see all your grocery sales! Much easier than carrying around all of those papers with you. It has like every grocery store and if you don’t see the one you want just ask for it and they add it!

They have all of the department store adds also. So don’t worry if your mate has thrown them away again on you, just go to Flipp. Can you tell I like it?? They should pay me for this review but down load it and see at Christmas who has the best see on prime roast angus cut! They also show Sam’s and Costco adds!

Five stars!!

I’ve been using this app for about 3 years now and it really is the best way to find special deals for items in my shopping list. I make the list right in this app, and as I add each item, if it’s on sale in one or more stores in my area, a tag pops right up and shows me where, and how much the item is on sale for. There are 5 grocery stores within a five mile radius of my home, so I can easily shop for the best prices without having to carry a flyer for each store around with me. They’re all on this app! I can click on items I want to buy in each store’s online/this app flyer and even find coupons for some items. this app really makes my life and shopping a lot easier.

by Billybobit

Please consider in your next update adding the ability to share a weekly flyer with others via text or email. It would greatly help during this holiday season with sharing gift ideas, (Department Stores Black Friday and After Christmas Sales) also Grocery and other Weekly Flyer ad sharing so that friends and neighbors can flyer add possibly request items to add to a shopping list. I believe my neighbors, friends, and family would love it. May save me or another senior citizen a trip to the same store. I think it would definitely encourage others to download Flipp. Keep up the great work and updates. Hope you are having luck getting recommended stores to join up!

I love finding deals on food items to save money. However, unless I get the newspaper I don't get the ads every week.
If you do this too this is the MUST have app. You put in your location and it gives you all the ads for stores near you. You could even use it on vacation.
To save time, if your looking for one specific item, you can use the search section and now only the stores that have the item are listed. You can clip coupons, list the store loyalty cards and create a shopping list.
I love, love, love Flipp for saving money. I've even shared this with my college student son so he can save money.
