This too complex for me to use.
For a shopping list I want what I have on paper. A list of items that gets crossed out when I put it in my cart.
Trying to revolution the shopping list with technology (tags and tagging tags) is a losing battle. Try to mimic the tried and true, hundreds of years old shopping list. Complicating it by adding technology seems like a recipe for disappointment.
- glimcat 15y agoTry thousands of years. Here's one example from about AD 100, Roman, on a wood-and-wax tablet. http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2001/03/05/253805.htm http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2001/03/05/253805.htm
- KevinMS 15y agoI used it today like this - On my way home I decided I wanted a baked potato with dinner. I already had a baked potato tag, and it contained 3 things Potato Butter Sour cream I selected the potato and sour cream items, knowing I already had butter. What happened far too frequently to me was that I'd forget to even remember sour cream and just get potatoes. That's what tags are for, a memory tool. Don't use them if you don't want. I find them extremely useful and are the main reason I created this app. I also have baked potato tagged with dinner, so on my way home, I could have scanned through the "dinner" tag and decided what I felt like eating. You see, I wasn't trying to mimic the shopping list, I was wanted a tool that helped me the way I grocery shop.
- SHOwnsYou 15y agoIf that's how you use it, advertise it that way. That is a neat way to use the app and is way more interesting than telling me I can tag tags. If I can scroll through what is essentially a menu on my phone, pick the items I want for meals, and the ingredients automatically get added to my list - that's pretty useful. I still wouldn't use it, but I think that angle of usage would appeal to more people.
