Forget for a moment that annoying "There's an app for that." A quick search on the App Store shows over 200 shopping list apps, all designed to substitute the piece of paper you take to the supermarket. Are they really necessary? I'm not saying that apps like Groceries by Sophiestication shouldn't exist, but if you are already using a GTD app—specially if you have invested in something like OmniFocus or Things—you might be tempted to use that as a shopping list too.
Imagine you're going to a picnic and need to prepare some sandwiches the day before. You've gone to the shop and bought some bread, just to notice when you get home that your partner has already done the shopping! Have you ever been in this situation before? This sound to me like a common problem with grocery lists but a friend of mine has just launched an app to address this issue. I've done some research to be able to provide some feedback and share with you the killer cloud-powered shopping apps in the App Store.
In this post-PC times we are living, there's still room for innovation, as I learned from the team developing TeamShop. This cooperative shopping list app allows you to create and delegate tasks to team members making list updates over the air.
