Groceries -    #1
Groceries is a beautiful grocery list application that makes the mundane chore of shopping easy.There's nothing more frustrating then getting home from the grocery store to realize that you've forgotten a crucial item. This app fixes that problem and more. Simply select your item from a massive list of products! To cross off, just tap the screen and the program will draw a red line through the item.

This grocery app has so many helpful functions packed in it, I hardly know where to start. Unlike many simpler apps of its kind, with Groceries you're not bound to just one list. You can conjure up as many lists as you like, which comes in VERY handy if you need to go to different stores. The search function browses a database of thousands upon thousands of items, some of which are non-food items (ie. AA batteries). Even if you don't see what you want, adding your own custom items is an intuitive 4 step process. Simply select the aisle your item is found in, select the + button, then enter your item and save. So easy!

Other features consist of sharing shopping lists via email, customizing aisles, and moving items to a different lists adding. That's not even including my favorite feature, which is the ability to edit amounts and details to the individual items. All that conveniently wrapped in a pretty, yet simple interface! Yay!

My only real problem with Groceries is that you can't rearrange where the items on your list are placed. Everything is grouped by aisle, but for people who shop at a place that doesn't have the typical grocery store layout, this could result in a lot of undesired scrolling. For example, one of the grocery stores I go to has the bread section placed on the opposite side of the store then produce, while Groceries has them listen right next to each other. There are rumors that this quirk will be fixed, however, so I'm not bothered by it much.

Wow -    #2
Someone woke up on the happy side of the bed this morning.

The rearranging of the aisles would be very important to me as I hate running back and forth between aisles or having to remember things on the list when they are separated throughout the list.

And the comment of 'promises of new versions'? What app does not promise that yet later never deliver on what you feel is an important issue?

Actually, the app has already updated to 2.0 and does have the option to rearrange aisles. Also, you can now email lists which can in turn be read through the email or even uploaded to another user's Grocery list.

I would say "Then don't buy it." but they fixed that in the latest version. Drat.

Is that a rhetorical question?
