![]() ![]() ![]() About a year ago, I was pleasantly surprised to find we both used the same grocery list app: Grocery IQ. Snell on most things and this is no exception. Similarly, he really likes a lot about working on an iPad, but it’s not enough to make him sell his Mac and go whole hog on iOS. His examples were software he uses to edit podcasts and his overall computer set up: He edits his podcasts with Apple’s Logic even though many folks think he should move to Adobe Audition. Or drop on the Apple App Store and buy you own copy.Jason Snell recently wrote that once he invests the time to learn and get comfortable with a tool, it takes something not just a little better, but substantially better to get him to switch.

It was built to run across all of Apple’s OS platforms, except tvOS (and we did really contemplate running it there too) and is connected to iCloud so all of your data lives there and is synced across all of your devices… no other service to buy, no monthly fees.įor the princely sum of $1 US, Stuff To Get provides: I could go on and on but the reality is, I could see Grocery IQ‘s days were numbered and none of the other app’s in the store did what I wanted. ![]() Grocery IQ was also limited to just the iPhone, so I couldn’t maintain from my iPad or Mac.I needed lists for other types of stores too. Also, Grocery IQ was limited to just grocery shopping list. Grocery IQ had also become filled with lots and lots of very off brands, making it hard to find the items I wanted to add to my list.You also couldn’t see what you already had in your list when adding items to it. Next, several things in Grocery IQ weren’t very easy to do or were overly complicated, such as setting up quantities and units of measure.It’s design is super dated and it can’t even use the full screen on a modern iPhone. I’ve been limping it along as a digital relic for way too long now. First, and foremost, Grocery IQ left the Apple platform several years ago.So why did we write our own Shopping List manager then? In the 10 years that I’ve owned an iPhone, the one app that has been with me the whole time is a Shopping List manager app called Grocery IQ.įor the most part Grocery IQ was a great app, it was easy to use and again, mostly did everything I wanted. So what were we thinking building Stuff To Get? It’s simple really. And yes, I know it sounds crazy just typing that sentence. Yeah, I know… we wrote a Shopping List app. ![]()
