I have always appreciated iphone applications for how they help people to stay organized. The following two apps fit perfectly into that category.
ShopListFree is an app that allows people to organize their groceries in a list, according to what category they belong to, for example, dairy, meat and fish, tinned food, fruits and vegetables, etc… What makes this app so useful is that not only is it extremely easy to use but it is free. The app as a result, is not complex, what you see is definitely what you get, however,it is an app that gives you everything you would need in helping you to organize your grocery shopping trips. The app also allows you to enter the amount of each grocery item that you need, so that you know how much to buy. If you want to go pro, i.e get more features you can pay for that version of the app, 1.99. But, I would be careful because there aren’t really that many more features to the pro version and you would be better off staying with the ShopListFree or with going to a more developed,complex grocery list app, for example, GroceryList.
Apps that are in the grocery list category really fascinate me because I am interested to see how developers add to what seems like a pretty simple topic for an app. However, the GroceryList app definitely makes ShopListFree look over simplified. GroceryList complicates what ShopListFree does so easily. GroceryList allows you to choose from a huge list of grocery store items, everything from advil to absinthe, and requires you to press on the + button to add an item to your shopping list. From there, you can make a grocery list, go shopping with your list, make a second list, add to the master list or change existing items. This app is the Rolls Royce of grocery store apps, for 4.99 there really isn’t anything else you could put in a grocery store app. This means one thing for the efficiency of the GroceryList app, it is not as easy to use because of the extra list capabilities and all the extra options. In my opinion, the ShopListFree grocery list app is much easier to use and makes paying for the GroceryList app seem a bit unnecessary. I wont dispute that GroceryList app is a good application, but when it comes to grocery list apps, ShopListFree has all you would need and its free!
