I want an app.

theweaselkingI want something. It is a groceries tracking app.
I should ideally run on Android, although web-based is workable. If it exists for IOS only, that's sad, but I'd like to know so I know who to complain to so that it will work on the two dominant platforms on the planet and not be trapped in a third-best hole.
I want to be able to make a groceries list, and then pull it up on my phone while in the grocery store, and tag off items as I pick them up. As data sync allows, other people using the same account should see that I have ticked off X as "acquired". Ideally, my wife and I can work off the same list.
I demand:
* The ability for one or more people to add items to the list.
* The ability to check off items in the list in real time, with reasonable syncing if multi-user.
* The ability to add arbitrary items.
I would like:
* Shared access for multiple people to add and remove items from the list.
* Ability to add items via a web interface, or some other interface with a keyboard.
It is unacceptable if:
* It involves Facebook
* It is IOS only.
Help me, lazyweb. What does what I want?

Date: 2012-06-14 01:46 am (UTC)The Woolworths app lets you scan barcodes of stuff in your house, this will then add it to your shopping list. It also supports searching for items etc.
When you actually go shopping, you tell it what store you went to, and it puts everything in isle by isle order for you.
The other thing you don't have thats on your request list is being able to update it remotely or via other mobile handhelds.

(Having said that, a shared Google Doc would also do most of what you want.)

Date: 2012-06-14 05:06 am (UTC)"there's an app for [every single individual trivial purpose]" is nice and all, but sometimes a list is just a list.
