Looks cool! Is there any way to "import" lists into it?

@hopkinschris Thanks Christopher, we are working on this next, including import of the recipes and other lists from popular platforms ;) Is there anything specific you would like to import? We love creative ideas!

It looks very interesting and it definitely would help me a lot. How effective would it be if the shopper is the only one with the app though?

@mordzuber Thanks! App would still learn about your shopping routines and would suggest frequently bought items and remind you to grab items when you are near the store ;)

I was very interested in trying this app. My family uses Grocery Gadget and we like it but it just makes some basic functions a bit too difficult. I downloaded Capitan and started to set it up. I was very disappointed to see that you wanted Facebook access for logins. I don't have/use/want Facebook so I don't use any app that require it. However, I see that I can also add people without Facebook! Oh, I need to give you access to my entire address book just to add my wife? No. I have to admit, the app looks interesting and useful; but I'll never know. Your decision on logins and adding users is perplexing. I always hope that nobody I know allows apps like this to access their address book because I don't want my info in the hands of a company I don't know and/or don't do business with. It looks like you had plenty of time to code a different login scheme or at least allow users to add someone via their email address with using the address book. Why did you make this decision?

@fbara Thanks for checking it out Frank! You've probably noticed that we try to make it super easy for users to start doing groceries via our app and don't ask for any log in information, we've decided to add social login to make it quicker and easier for users to sync their lists and provide their address book for quicker sharing experience. Even though you can skip both options and just share a list directly through email, but that's not an ideal flow we've designed :) Your comments about data absolutely make sense, we will be working on improving this aspect of the app and leaving more space for privacy conscious people with email logins only, thanks for making that clear to us!

It looks cool, I'll try it to use with my roommate. Please tell, why I need to tap&hold on right side of list to change category? Maybe just tap on right side will be comfortable to use? Thx.

Pretty awesome! Trying it out today!

@artur the suggested list items are pretty funny and I like the type filtering. It would be great if the initial suggested list was generated by my prior items as it would be easier to add them by tapping instead of typing it out. Maybe I need to use it longer.

@borisism Thanks, glad you dig the suggested items feature, it learns as you use it so after few times of adding "Potatoes" it will show them up first ;)

This looks super clever. Definitely going to try it out!!

@sydney_liu_sl Glad you like it, thanks! Let us know what you think when you try using it for some time, feedback is REALLY appreciated ^_^

Awesome awesome stuff, I love the location aware features. This is fairly similar to the direction we're going with Denarri, but for buying electronics. It's not enough to simply allow people to search for things, what's going to dominate is the experience that learns your users preferences over time, so they accomplish their goals as quickly, efficiently, and intuitively as possible. You guys are clearly focused on that, great work :)

@ghobs91 Thanks Andrew, glad you share our vision, we indeed try to focus on learnings over time to improve user experience, we are not yet there to call it the perfect solution but it's definitely the best out there in our niche :)

My wife and I currently use Trello for this, but the addition of the AI suggestions and geo-location are very interesting. We'll definitely give it a go over the next few weeks. I'm interested in how you're doing the location "tracking". I take it that you were asked to insert the "disclaimer" in your App Store description due to the fact that you're using CoreLocation in the background, but I presume that you're using CLRegion monitoring which is relatively easy on the battery because the OS is only waking the app when the device nears a preset geographical region - therefore, the OS uses the battery at pretty much the same rate whether there's one app using region monitoring or 10. The disclaimer therefore seems a little over cautious and probably a little too scary for some people.

@siburb Thanks! > I take it that you were asked to insert the "disclaimer" in your App Store description You've got it right, we've been rejected 4 times before we inserted this just because app store review is being crazy sometimes :)
