Everything it does
Features
18 things Sublime Groceria does today, read straight from the build on Google Play. Nothing here is coming soon.
What it does
Lists
-
Lists that keep themselves
Keep separate lists for the weekly shop, a family meal or a quick stop for essentials. Lists you own and lists shared with you have their own tabs. Open the one you need and check its progress as items are ticked off.
-
What you buy often, offered back
Find frequently bought items on Home, with a reason for each suggestion. These come from your own list history, so you can see why an item is being offered. A new account starts with catalogue-popularity suggestions until it has list history of its own.
-
On your home screen
Put the list you are working on on your Android home screen. The widget gives you a way into that list without first finding the app among your other icons. Use it to get back to the shop you are planning during the day.
-
Open it with a fingerprint
Use fingerprint sign-in on your phone when you want to open Groceria without typing a password each time. It gives you another way to get to your lists, whether you are checking what is needed at home or opening the app in the shop.
-
Free, and no advertising
Groceria is free to use, with no advertising and no paid tier. There is no subscription to manage or trial that runs out. You never need to provide payment details, so you can keep your attention on the list you came to write.
What it does
Items
-
A catalogue, not a blank box
Start with the everyday items already in the catalogue, grouped by aisle. Browse for what you need instead of typing every name from scratch. Catalogue items carry their own sizes, units and nutrition information, giving you more to work with when building your list.
-
Say it instead of typing it
Use voice entry when you would rather speak than type. Say the items you need and add them to your list as you go. It keeps listening between items, so you do not have to start a separate voice entry for every item.
-
Scan what is in the cupboard
Use the packet in your cupboard to help build the next shopping list. Scan its barcode to add the item, with its size and unit filled in. Check what you need for the shop without typing the packet details out again.
-
Your own items
If the catalogue does not have something your family buys, add your own item. Give it the name and unit you use, then find it again through search. Your saved items can also appear in suggestions, alongside the catalogue items you use.
-
Urdu and English, on the same item
Keep an Urdu name and an English name on the same grocery item. One person can write the list and another can read it in the language they prefer. Both names stay with the item, including when the list is shared with family.
-
Know what you buy
Open an item's details to check its nutrition information while deciding what to buy. You can look at the information attached to the item before adding it to your shop, rather than waiting until you are home with the packet in front of you.
What it does
Recipes
-
Recipes become lists
Paste a recipe link to bring its ingredients into your shopping list. Groceria reads the recipe page's own structured ingredient data, published as JSON-LD. The ingredients come from what that page provides; a page without readable ingredient data cannot supply an ingredient list this way.
What it does
Sharing
-
Know when something changes
Check the bell on Home for changes to shared lists: items added, items ticked and who made the change. Notifications can reach you while the app is closed, so you can keep up with the family list without leaving it open all day.
What it does
Shopping
-
Sorted the way you shop
Read your shop by aisle rather than by the order you remembered things. Groceria groups items together and keeps bought items apart from those still needed. As you tick things off, you can see what remains without searching through everything already in the basket.
-
Works with no signal
Your lists stay on your phone when the signal drops. Keep adding items and ticking off what you have bought, including in parts of the shop with no reception. Your changes sync when you are connected again, so the list can catch up afterwards.
What it does
Reminders
-
Reminders
Set a day and time for a list when there is a shop you need to remember. Choose a one-off reminder or repeat it every week. Keep the reminder with the list, so the things you need are ready when it is time to go.
And what it does not do
- There is no iPhone or iPad version yet.
- There is no browser version yet, so a list is opened on a phone rather than on a computer.
Written from the application's own release record, so it stays true as the application changes.
All of it, free
No paid tier, no advertising, and no payment details. An email address is all it asks for.
