I use Listary (friend's app) for the same thing but it's a paid app. GroceryIQ is a good free app for that.

I think your app adds complexity where it isn't needed. Tag tags? Hard to get. The whole terminology is not clear. If you want to group items, call it Group.

A good feature would be to recognize items as you type them and add to specific aisles (produce, bakery, etc). That way you won't need groups.

I also think the icons are not very clear and the delete function should be a simple swipe sideways.

I didn't think groups would be appropriate because the same item could be in multiple groups. I think most people think of groups as containers and having the same item in multiple groups is confusing, but they do understand that a single item can have multiple tags.

The tags are for your own use. They can be for meals, ingredients, isles, pets, etc. I would not impose a "use case" for them upon the user.

There is a swipe delete, its just not shown in the movie. I'm not sure why you say its not there. It would also not be used very often so its not a big deal.
