Grocery list manager is fast and simple to use
I don’t really get excited about single-purpose utilities for the iPhone and iPod touch. But Sophiestication Software’s Groceries app merits the excitement. It makes grocery lists easy to create, manage, and—dare I say—a little fun.

Exactly as expected!
This is an excellent grocery list app. Even if you are skeptical because of the unique things you buy - this app is so simple to use and add items. You just type your list as you go, if it doesn't show up - you may choose to add it from the same screen. When you are done it rearranges your list to store aisles to make your trip efficient. Awesome app.
Shopping with a tech twist
I have to admit I was skeptical -- couldn't my old hand-made list on Post-It notes, or even a checklist in another app, serve the same function?Wrong! This app is beautifully made and helps put together speedy shopping lists (it's fun to check items off in the store, too). To begin, I can make multiple shopping lists (for example, in addition to my regular grocery list, I've added one for camping food, parties, etc.) The title page shows how many items are left to shop for, and I can re-set the list for future trips to the store. Lists can be sorted by all items or only remaining items.Finding items is an easy scrolling process, including an area where you can store your favorites. You can even add notes if there are specific instructions needed.There are a few minor improvements needed though. Items are only sorted by aisle; helpful in most cases, but even basic items like peanut butter end up in not-so-intuitive categories (breakfast foods in this case). Some obvious choices, like sun-dried tomatoes, aren't present at all and are awkward to add to the existing categories. And while some name-brand items exist (such as Coca-Cola), there is room to add many more if you're particular about the kinds of cookies you want, breakfast cereals, etc.To compensate for this, the app does have a search function and allow you add foods and even sort them into a category called "items without an aisle." In all, a useful app and recommended!

I can't remember what I forgot
This App is excellent, really easy to use, and well thought out. Simple to create your own list from an existing database or add your own entries. I especially like the start over option for those routines trips to the store. Kudos to Sophia, really like her style, let's hope she hits a home run at the Apple Design Awards!
