This will happen when you’ve toggled on price crowdsourcing. In order to collect and verify prices, the details screen appears when you swipe an item.

If you don’t want to participate in price crowdsourcing, you can turn it off under Settings.

Tapping the barcode scanner button top right of the shopping list will open the phone camera and detect the barcode (EAN or UPC code) on a product. If you’re not in a location known to be a store this will let you add products to your shopping list.

Please note that Grosh relies heavily on crowdsourcing. For barcodes this means that the system does not know the product name in a given language before someone has scanned the barcode and entered a product name / brand for the barcode.

If a product is not found in our Grosh crowdsourced database, we use openfoodfact.org as backup. Tests have shown that it knows lots of products, has product images, brand and package size info – but often the product name is only available in e.g. French or English. However, it means that adding a scanned product to Grosh should be much simpler as most fields will be pre-filled.

When you’re at a location known by Grosh to be a store, the barcode scanner button behaves a bit differently. If you scan groceries that you pick up in the store, the app will mark them as bought on the list. If no matching item is found, you can add the item to your list and mark it as bought with just one button click. Think of the barcode scanner as a different (and more detailed) way to swipe groceries on your list to mark them as bought.

Yes, you can search using the text field above the list that you normally use for adding items. If there’s an item already on the shopping list that matches the text you typed, it will appear in the list below the text field with “(already on the list)” appended. Tap the line and Grosh will ask if you want to view the item or add another one like it.

Please do not enter them in your profile textual description, but add the links to your other social media channels under Settings – Connected profiles. Provide a full address starting with https:// or http:// to make clickable links in your public profile. The profile is visible when users are searching for other users, e.g. when looking for someone to follow for recipe inspiration or when sharing a shopping list.

Grosh checks the address using Google Maps and expect it to be written in the common language of the country specified for your user profile, and in short notation so eg Rd for Road. If you still have issues, you probably found a bug in the system so please contact the support team so we can fix the issue! Use the Send Message button below to do so.
