Flexible Grocery Shopping with the iPhone – Call for Beta Testers
For the last few years, I became gradually frustrated with static shopping lists that I cannot tweak or modify during the actual grocery shopping. I started to feel the need for a more flexible shopping list and meal planning that you can adapt as you go, changing the list while shopping to use what you find in the shops, for example to take advantage of bargains.
I sent a survey about a year ago with some vague ideas for a new iPhone application for a flexible grocery shopping and got an overwhelming response – hundreds of detailed replies loaded with fantastic ideas. Reading them, I took pages and pages of notes!
These ideas have finally crystallized into a new iPhone application – a flexible grocery shopping app, integrated with a recipe organizer, that is capable to adapt recipes, shopping list and meal plans on the go.
The beta testing of the new app has just started and there are still a few spots available. If you are interested to participate, I will need you to send me first some information on your iPhone, so that I can create a provisional profile for your device, as required by Apple, in order to allow you to download the app to your phone without going through the app store.
If you would like to participate, please leave a comment below, or alternatively send me an e-mail, and I will send you the detailed instructions to get started.
Unfortunately, Apple limits strictly the number of beta testers for any given developer account. I can only accept a small number of additional beta testers. If you would like to contribute to improve the new app, please apply right away!
Update: Due to the large number of people who responded to the call so quickly, I have to close the applications early. Thanks to all for your support! For those I could not take, please look forward to the new release soon.
I would like to participate in the beta testing
Hey…
Would love to beta test with you. As a professional chef, and cookbook author, I put cooking apps through their paces. In addition, I have worked with Adobe on several beta projects, so I know the drill.
I have a gen 4 iPhone, and an iPad2…
Take care…
I would love to be a beta tester. Been a user of shop n cook for years. I am a professional chef, cookbook author and cooking school teacher.. I use shop n cook for all of these applications.
I would love to test the iPhone app!
I’ve enjoyed Shop N Cook for several years, and would love to participate in your beta test, although I’ve never done anything like that before. Love your program though. I’ve got a gen 3 iPhone … hope that will still work.
It is supposed to work on gen 3 iPhone too. It would be good to test it on it.
I would love to take part in the beta test. I have been using Shop’NCook for quite a few years now and love the program and have “sold” quite a few others on it. I have a few ideas of what I would like to see happen with an app for the iPhone/iPod. Please consider me in this test.
I use an iPod Touch – 5.0.1
Thanks
I have been using your Shop ‘N Cook for over one year and really like it. Cooking is my hobby and I enjoy searching and downloading recipes from all over the world. I’m from New Orleans, LA and have been cooking for over 50 years.
I’d appreciate participating in Beta Testing the iPhone app.
Sincerely,
E.J. Ledet
I would love to test the new app.
Forgot to add to previous message-I have an iPhone 4 and would like to Beta test

I would be interested in testing for the ipad thanks

I’d love to be a beta tester for you.
I’d love to be a beta tester!
Count me in Mathilde. I have iPhone and iPad
Count me in Mathilde. I have your paid version and I’m you biggest fan!
I would be honored. I currently use Grocery IQ and All Recipes. And am always on the look out for a better grocery app. I’m giddy with excitement.
3GS phone running iOS 5.0
I would be thrilled to beta test on a 4s.
I would give it a whirl
I would love to try the new ap. I have the current one on my phone, but would like to be able to download just my own recipes on the phone so I would have them when I shop. I don’t really want all the online recipes. Is there a way to do that?
I have the iphone 4S.
The new app lets you organize your own recipes on your phone. It is not an interface for the Direct Access recipe database, like Shop’NCook Lite.
i’d be happy to test it!
Sounds great!
J’aimerais participer, s’il y a une version francophone.
The app works in French, Italian and German too. It can understand recipes and make shopping lists in these languages. The menus and buttons are still in English, but I will get them translated before the final release.
I have had the iPhone since day one and currently have the iPhone 4S and an iPad2. I love the shop’ncook program and would like to beta test.
I have been using your software for over a year and I love it. I would love to test out the Beta version on my iPhone.
Count me it, too. I have ab iPhone 4 and iPad 2. Let me know if I can help!
I would love to beta test!
I’d love to be a beta tester. I have 5 different aps for shopping ,not counting the one Siri keeps and I don’t like any of them very much. However, I’ve been a devoted Shop N’Cook user since 2005 (I think), so I have high hopes for this ap.
I have an iphone 4S running 5.01 and an ipad 2.
I am also interested in the beta. -[- Thanks
I’ve been using Shop’n’cook for many years and would love to participate in a beta test. I have an iPad 1.

Thanks to all of you for responding to my call for beta testers and for your enthusiasm. I will send you the information tomorrow to get started.
I have an iPhone 4s I would love to be a beta tester
Hi There,
I love Shop’NCook, and have used it for years. It would be great to access recipes on my IPhone and IPad. Is it still possible to add me to the beta test?
Thanks,
Rachel
Rachel,
The beta testing is unfortunately completely full. But I am going to release the app in just a few weeks and you will be able to download it then from the app store.
This is exciting. Come yo the blog daily for updates. Any release dates yet?
Thanks
Tina
Tina,
It shouldn’t be long now. I am hoping to be able to release it beginning of June – maybe earlier…
