this looks like a nice, clean user interface for the app. I'm definately interested in trying it out when it's avail !!

I am interested in this app, as well. Specifically, I am looking for something like this app that supports iCloud sharing of the shopping list. I am constantly having to copy/paste my shopping list into a text message for my wife. Does this support iCloud-shared lists?

Hi ThePinkChameleon,

Thanks for your feedback, we will notify you on the forum as soon as it is available!

Hi Fausty82,

Thank you for your interest. We do not have sync between devices (something that we call "family account") right now but this is a number 1 thing on our roadmap. For now I can say that ShopIt will stop your copy/pasting activities because send list by SMS or Email feature is already there!

First of all welcome to iMore and I have noticed that other members have asked you questions and you have answered back so that is big being hands on and answering them yourself. That makes members feel at ease dealing with Developers this way. I hope you have much success with your shopping app because I know this is big. Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions.

Wow, looks tasty!

1. Are you going to have some discount period?
2. When will you plan to have version for Android? (because my wife is using HTC and I would like to have sync between iPhone & HTC)

Hi pidstrukalo,

Thank you for your questions.
1. $0.99 is already a discounted price and our app will cost 99 cents only until release of the next major version. Everyone who buys ShopIt now will get new features (including sync) at no additional cost.
2. We are planning to release Android version next year. For now I would recommend to use "Send by SMS" or "Send by email" features to share your shopping lists.


P.S. We are now available on the App Store!

Ok, so I've had a chance to put items on a list and use it in action at the grocery store today, being that I wound up needing to take a trip there for about 15 items I like the pre-stored items included and the ease to add them to a list with a swipe. Adding your own items is just easy as well. After completing my shopping trip, the items that I swiped as purchased remained on the bottom of the list crossed out, so this is handy if I need to re-add an item, it can be done again with just a swipe. I choose to use the pink theme because the green made the font a little difficult for me to see.

Overall, I do like the set up and how clean & simple the interface of it is. However, there would be 2 changes that I suggest: 1) I'd like to be able to have the list be put together according by category. By this I mean, I had 2 items with the "frozen"(snowflake) icon, but they were in 2 seperate parts of the list and I did almost over look one of my items. So maybe having the list with a sort choice by 'category'(icon) would be a nice addition. 2nd) When adding your own custom item, being able to tap on it to edit it. I added "microwave popcorn light butteh" but i mis-spelled butter, so I had to delete the whole entry to add it correctly. Unless there is a way to edit a custom entry that I over looked (?)

Overall, I do really like this list app & I see myself continuing to use it. I do tend to favor apps that have swipe gestures more so than ones that have 'taps' to initiate an action. It just seems more of a natural action to me when using my phone....call me crazy LOL. I know this is just your debut and I will look forward to any updates that you may have in mind for the future !!

Thank you for bringing this great app to the app store

Hi ThePinkChameleon,

Thank you so much for your feedback :yes:! We really-really-really appreciate it.

You are right - there is no option to edit custom products in version 1.0.0
But I have good news - after a short conversation inside the company we have put both items into our road map, so you can expect shopping cart category sorting feature and editing feature for custom products in the next few months! And we have some more small but great features to come. So stay tuned!

Once again, I want to thank you for your time and honest feedback, we are your fans

Thank you for being quick to respond to Pink as well as show a willingness to be open to suggestions. This lets me know that you are worthy of the money I will spend on the app as soon as I type this reply....

I will tell you THE BIG SECRET - devs love to hear positive feedback about their apps Negative feedback makes them nervous, but positive feedback is what they are working for.
When we hear "good job, we benefit from having you app on our phones (desktops, servers...)" we go crazy :dancing:

ThePinkChameleon, JustMe'D you have made my day!

 

[AgentHeracles]

Just purchased the app and will look at it for my next trip.
