    There’s no way I’d use a grocery app. Paper and pen works well enough.

    Now, if my phone had a slide-out physical keyboard like it did back in fucking 2007, I’d consider it. As it is, typing on phones is pain.

      most stores here in sweden have hand scanners you can use as a member, and some of them let you write shopping lists and have it show up on the scanner, which can be put into a holder on your cart.

      that’s sufficiently useful that i’d use it if i did stuff like weekly shopping, alas i shop daily and thus never buy more than 10 things at a time so fart noises to that.

      I just use my smartwatch for this now. It’s a lot easier to simply dictate your list to your watch, than to carry around a pen and pad that I’m just going to lose on my way to the store.

      slide out keyboards are a niche that’s just barely hanging on. there’s the F(x)tec Pro, and the Cosmo Communicator, at least. seems they’re more in style for handheld game consoles: i’m crossing my fingers ASUS or one of the other mobile-phone gaming manufacturers will notice that and cash in.
