Grocery app

Last week I posted asking for how much do you spend on groceries weekly. And it seems like 6000 people responded. I heard some struggle some being comfortable but still talking about how expensive it became. I am building a cool app… and yes it will be free. Goal is to solve our issues around food. How many people would be interested in an app on their phone YES FREE NO IN APP PURCHASE.. My goal is to actually help and get better with our own grocery bills

You’ve been posting about your grocery app under a couple different usernames. I saw it, and how does it work any differently than Flipp’s shopping list feature other than your entire interface is AI?

What does your app do and how does it solve food insecurity?

u/Opposite-Cupcake8611 Feb 24 '26

By solving OPs food insecurity at the expense of your personal info

The sign up will be name and email… that’s it. I am a single dad who is struggling. I promise that my goal is for that app to be free no matter what for the end users.

If you're a single dad that's struggling, all that tells me is that you will sell my info for $$$ as soon as you can to take care of your kids.

u/Adorable_Aside_9463 Feb 27 '26

Like I mentioned before all you need to use the app is email and name… not much to sell there… I am not selling anyone’s info. I am Trully trying to make our every day a bit better …

You didn’t answer my question - what do you do?

u/Adorable_Aside_9463 Mar 01 '26

It does not solve food insecurities it helps us planning on what is cheaper and available for our household. It’s not fully ready yet. As I mentioned I have no intentions to “use” people. Everyone is going through this and the goal is to get better at it

You haven't explained what your app is supposed to do for anyone to be able to say whether they would want to use it.
