Amazon's Free App of the Day - Mighty Grocery Shopping List

written by: Nick Kosmides


Grocery list apps are becoming more and more popular.  There are now about a dozen list apps in general to choose from just on the Android Market. Today's free app, Mighty Grocery Shopping List, is just another list app, or is it?

The feature list points out several key ingredients to a good list app, but throw in things like syncing to a cloud or other lists, barcode scanning, pricing with tax, and aisle management and you've got yourself a grocery list contender. The organization category is dear to me because I have done a lot of studying up on the other list apps.

Right now I have four installed, and those are just the ones I'm keeping. Evernote is a must have for its ability to keep full sized docs and creation tools that sync congruently betwixt mobile and computer. Colornote is one of the best plain and simple list apps to replace the stock app your phone comes with.  It has really cool sticky note widgets that act as short cuts to specific lists.  Taskos is also a basic list app but with excellent voice recognition usage to add items to lists through a widget, syncs to Google Tasks, and has a nice range of advanced list options.  Finally, the app my family uses most for groceries and recipe ingredients is called OurGroceries.  My wife and I use one account to sync between both our phones, allowing us to share the same grocery list.  When someone adds something to the list on one phone, it immediately appears on the other phone.

We will be giving this new app a run.  It has a steep chance at replacing OurGroceries and its ease of use, but the features are definitely ones that I've said should be in OurGroceries. Hit the link below to grab your copy and try it out for yourself.
