I used to put stuff in my grocery list app as soon as I run out. Now I do the same with my grocery store's curbside pickup app, and checkout whenever I feel like going over there.
Keeping running lists is one of the most useful bits about having a computer in your pocket, IMHO. I don't understand how this is a question. If you have a different process, that's fine, but it's an odd thing to quibble about.
I feel like the point they are making is, is you could just use the notepad, you don’t NEED a specific app.
Right. It's a dumb point because nobody said they "NEED" anything. I use the process that I find most convenient.
An app can add a product to your list by scanning the barcode, check prices across stores, remind me to pick up something before I run out, or organize the list by the department where to find it. They provide a ton of functionality over notepad.
Yeah, but the point is, they’re getting mad at the app that they got for that reason… they say they’re gonna just use a pen and paper, when that also exists on their phone…
It’s a dumb rant, there’s no other point.
