would like to buy one of these but they are all bloody expensive and dont have lite versions. Pick&Choose Shopalot ineedstuff SplashShopper shopwiz shopper grocery gadget groceries shopping list foodle i have found some reviews but they always seem to be two versions out of date at least, and so a lot of there points in the review are no longer valid - which doesn't exactly help matters ! So anyone got any of these ? opinions are welcomed ! tia
ShopShop is a good one to start on. It's free. I used it for a bit and then decided what it was missing for my needs and started looking for a pay one. GroceryGadget fit perfectly. Especially with it's recent update for a free web portal you can use to sync with other iPhones and computers via shared and password protected groups. With that and cost calculation with tax I've found my app.
I've tried them ALL (Grocery IQ is slow!) and my favorite is Mid Centuries Shopper. It's updated all the time, you can setup multiple lists and even setup lists of common items so making future lists are a lot quicker. They are about to release another version that supports stores and per-store-pricing. No lite version, but right now it's only 99 cents. Grocery IQ is actually all right. It has by far the largest food database, so if that's important to you then it's worth a look. I just found it too slow to use for my taste. GroceryZen supports recipes so you can quickly add items to your list. Shopper can do this too btw using templates though it's not as intuitive. So if you want to do that get groceryzen or shopper. (Not literally recipes, both remember a list of items and their quantities and you can add that to a shopping list. Things like prep instructions and procedures aren't covered and wouldn't work well on the iphone anyway. Ones to avoid: Splash shopper (ten bucks, and the desktop tool costs another $20... as a shopping app it's pretty plain and hasn't been updated for a long time). Ineedstuff, overpriced as well and tries to overmanage your list by sorting items by the order you check them off. Seems like a good idea but if you backtrack there is no way to easily resort the list next time. Also not updated much.
I recommend Shopper http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284776127&mt=8 Its currently .99cents I've been using it since it first came out way back when, I paid 4.99 for it. The developer has continuously updated the program from user suggestions. I think its one of the best ones in the store hands down.
ok thanks thats helpful - and at that price i can check shopper out also been looking at this one Groceries http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=307711028&mt=8 which at least in the german store has good reviews including 1 which says they'd previously had shopper which was the best but this is better but first i'll check shopper out edit btw $1.99 The Shopping List has just dropped to 0,00 so i'll check that out too http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=309776906&mt=8
I use shoppinglist (one word). I think it is 99 cents. It doesn't have a large built in database, but I can add whatever I want. It remembers the items in a list so you could easily add it back later when it is time to restock. I highly recommend it.
funnily enough the one i was looking at is now on sale Groceries - Grocery shopping today Price: $1.99 (down from $2.99) so i may pick that one up too ! and i suspect i will have to do a comparison myself soon
I got groceries too... it's a very polished looking app with an elegant UI. It's missing some of the more advanced features of Shopper or GroceryIQ though. The thing that REALLY kills it is you can't resort aisles according to how your grocery store is laid out. I would find myself backtracking a lot more when using that app. Love that corkboard/notebook look though!
Don't be surprised if Apple pulls The Shopping List, its way to close to "Shopper". It looks like the Lite version has already been pulled.
just buy it it is not like it is braking the bank dude its $.99 i could buy something much worse than a shopping list with $.99 all the paper you spend on lists costs more than the $.99 that a shopping app would cost.
