Shopgun Helps Make Healthy And Ethical Food Choices
Shopgun is a new application available on Android that aims to help consumers make better product choices at the grocery store. The creators of the app have focused on environmental, ethical, and health concerns to come up with an easy traffic light system that lets you know what foods are the best choices to buy. Currently the app is only available in Swedish.
Foodie.fm Helps You Grocery Shop Smarter
Foodie.fm is that obvious thing that I always knew I needed but could not think of. There's about a million different ToDo list apps and cooking apps that help you do partly what Foodie.fm does, but not really.
Foodie.fm enables smart grocery shopping by allowing the user to browse different recipes and then add that meal to their shopping cart. It lets me see different meals and then breaks them down into the needed ingredients in just the right amounts and once I tab 'Add to cart' it ads it to my shopping list on my phone. Now, here's the beauty. Foodie's back end is connected to all the stores in a given chain (They just announced a partnership with S-Ryhmä in Finland) and the server technology learns from what I like to buy and starts to ...wait for it... make recommendations to me when such ingredients or products are on sale in my local store (iPhone lets the service know where I live and recommends me to choose a store as my local shop). You can get the iPhone App here.
