Shoppy ~ Groceries app good for
This is a really good, really simple shopping list app. The best Ive seen so far. The only down side is that you cannot run multiple lists at the same time. You are limited to having only one list. Other than that, its a great app!!
I have used ShopShop since the App Store opened as my shopping list manager. I never thought anything would replace it until Shoppy came along. I love the clean and classy looking UI that is easy on the eyes and the way the app remembers the order in which you buy things. Next time you populate the list with the same items it arranges them in the exact order. Brilliant! Other apps are bloated and will have you spending more time working with the app than the actual time it takes to buy the items. This is the best I have seen and the smartest way to execute such an app. I would like to see a larger text entry box and the ability to run more than one list at a time. Even though the app arranges things from memory and is very workable, it would be nice to have. This app deserves a design award from !
Great little shopping list app - I use it all the time. I particularly like the way that it learns the layout of your favourite grocery stores, and keeps them separate, so that it can organize your list in a relevant order for whatever store you happen to go into on a given day.
The feature that allows you to mail lists to other people seems like it might be really great, but for one problem - my wife doesnt have an iPhone, so we cant use it. If there was a way that Shoppy could import a CSV file or something so that you could send a list from a spreadsheet into Shoppy, that would make things even better.
Love the KISS design. Have used others and dismissed them. This looks like a keeper!!!! I, too, would like to see the ability to create lists for different stores.
love this app, the one thing missing is the ability to separate my list by stores. I buy different product from different stores but when I select in the different stores that I have set up, it still gives me 1 list and I cant recall from which store Im supposed to get the product.
I want this ;
Store 1
- product a
- product b
Store 2
- product c
- product d
Store 3
- product e
- product f
Etc...
Shoppy works well, and the customer service is good too. I enquired about having multiple stores with different lists by email and they got back to me within a couple of days. They told me to group my items for different stores together and then go to those stores in the order if the groupings.
For example, if I needed to go to both the liquor store and the butcher then my grocery list would look like:
Night train
Courvoisier
Jagermeister
Beef hearts
Sausages
Lamb chops
I would buy all my booze then go get my meat.
This is kind of a bulls$17 workaround, but it doesnt detract from the fact that this App does work very well for one store. If you buy this app, and you want the functionality of multiple stores then email them and grind their gears about it. Maybe theyll pull their fingers out and add it.
Some bad moments
Ive been looking for a straightforward, simple list app since the App Store started. Ive allllmost got it.
Shoppy has:
Saved items
Extra notes fields when you need them
Quantity fields (useful for when you need to make sure you get all 10oz of whatever)
Decent-looking interface
Shoppy does not have:
Prices (useless for New Yorkers)
Priorities (useless for just groceries)
Due dates (ditto)
Ads
Stupid graphics
Shoppy needs:
A way to divide items into stores. I can add stores but cant create lists for each one? Seems weird, as Id like to also add pharmacies and hardware stores, etc. and dont want screwdrivers listed next to bread.
A slightly more decent-looking interface- thats one thing I still like about some of the more robust apps like 2Do- its prettier and more customizable.
For 99 cents, totally worth it if youre looking for the middle ground between plain old Apple Notes and turbo nutrition calculating, category tagging, price adding, ad-saturated crApps. Keep the updates coming!
This app has been perfect. We purchase groceries only twice a month and this app makes it perfect. Most grocery trips are similar, so the fact that it remembers the order is awesome!
Simple, clean, and quick interface. Doesnt try to do everything. Allows you to maintain a list so you can scroll through selecting what you need, then jump back to the need list and shop away. Easy check off, CLEAN list, and excellent sorting. IF you want, allows you to easily add quantities or notes. Author/Programmer does an excellent job of keeping the extras out of the way and at the same time making them easy to access. As I said before - Perfect Grocery List.
Great app. The best shopping list app si far. It is simple and highly effective!
My list, above all, needed to be sorted by aisle to minimize my shopping time in the stores I frequent. This app has a clever solution: one list, organized or reorganized if need be, by the store I select. It even learnt the aisle arrangement automatically.
Perfect for a simple no-frills grocery list. Love everything about it.
