Simple, Intuitive, efficient...2 things missing.
New here. I just started entering in my data. I love how simple the process is. I love how this app isnt bloated with a bunch of junk. I need a simple, serious tool, not a toy. I love how All my shopping lists are easily accommodated here. Our family orders a lot of our food from local farmers and food co-ops, also shop mostly on a monthly basis, and so far my data entry on this app seems to work well for our family.
I love the cart system of removing from view and tracking cost in cart. Its easy to see on the screen and holds my attention.
I love the concept of budget tracking. Theoretically this will help me with controlling my grocery budget on our familys envelope system. We dont eat a lot of pre-packaged food, so we dont need many coupons, but I can see that this is an intuitive, simple system.
2 things Id like to see:
1- the barcode scanner as an actual product entry feature where I scan the barcode of the product I ran out of at home, and the app adds it to my list in its designated spot with its default amounts. Would be nice if the scanner was accessible from the front of the app for this purpose. The barcode entry appears to only serve as further product ID for a secondary shopper who wants to make sure they get the right thing off the shelf. Seems it could be so much more functional and 2012.
2- the budget area with a badge or flash that appears when you near your budget limit on items checked for current pickup, and also another badge or flash when your cart nears budget limit in the store.
Ok 3. I would love a budget history in tools that I could break out weekly or monthly, comparing budget to actual cart data, also possibly by department type. This would be a bit bells/whistles and I guess people who didn néed the feature could just ignore it, but I need to save every penny and I didnt like the look of other apps that combined lists with budgets and to-dos. They were bloated and cumbersome.
