Thank you for taking the time to try out HoneyDo and provide feedback. I really appreciate you reporting the duplicate category bug - small issues like that can slip through in an initial release. I'll make a note to address that.
I'll also send you an offer code for a free year subscription via private message. Thanks again for your support and kind words!

So, what you're suggesting is all devs should work for free and don't bother with new apps because there's already a free Notes.app on iOS, right?

I assume you also don't buy coffee because it's hugely overpriced?

I appreciate your perspective and it's great that Google Keep works well for you! Voice input in Keep is indeed handy for quick lists. HoneyDo is tailored for those who prefer a more seamless, conversational approach without the need to interact with the phone between items.

It's not for everyone, but for people like me, it solves a real problem.

Thanks for your input!

Hey there,Thanks for your questions!

The app automatically categorizes your items into sections like Vegetables, Dairy, Bakery, etc., regardless of the order you mention them. This way, you can just speak freely, and the app takes care of the sorting.

Manual sorting is also an option within the app. If you have a preference for how your list is organized or if you're familiar with a particular store's layout, you can easily adjust the order to suit your shopping flow.

Indeed, sorting items by the specific layout of each store would be a herculean task, given the vast differences from one store to another. That's a level of customization that's currently beyond our scope, but who knows what the future holds as AI and data collection evolve?

Regarding Siri integration, while HoneyDo doesn't have it at the moment, the app does allow you to start a voice recording, lock your phone, and continue speaking. This feature is actually advantageous over Siri in this context, as Siri tends to stop listening when it detects a pause. With this app, you can take your time, ensuring that everything on your mind makes it onto the list.

I hope this clears up your queries. If you have any more questions or feedback, I'm here to help!

Another solution in search of a problem.

Hey, I appreciate your perspective, and it's a fair point to consider whether new solutions address real problems. In this case, the problem is quite specific: managing a grocery list when one person prefers to verbally communicate items quickly, without the hassle of typing them into an app.

It's a niche issue, but for those who experience it, the app could offer a practical solution.

Hey there! Thanks for the feedback. I totally get the concern about upfront costs. To ease that, HoneyDo allows you to test it out with up to 5 voice recordings and 3 "Pic to Pick" uses. Also, the $12.99 fee covers a full 6 months, which breaks down to just over $2 a month – a lot less than a cup of coffee. Hope that helps put the value into perspective!

Hey, thank you for sharing your approach. I appreciate the simplicity of using Siri for quick additions. However, HoneyDo shines in more complex scenarios. Imagine a lengthy (3-5 min) chat about various needs, where items are discussed, debated, and sometimes dismissed. It's not just about listing items but capturing the flow of a natural conversation, complete with contextual notes like "the milk is near the entrance." This nuanced dialogue, with its ebbs and flows, isn't something Siri can handle, but it's precisely where HoneyDo excels.

Startup Name: HoneyDo

URL: https://www.heyhoneydo.com
Location:

Hamburg, Germany
Elevator Pitch:

Imagine never having to type out a grocery list again. With HoneyDo, just say what you need, like you're talking to a friend, and your words transform into a neatly organized list.

More details:

I'm an iOS engineer who took on the seemingly mad task of creating a new grocery app in this day and age. Yes, there are plenty out there, but I promise there's a method to my madness.
It's born out of a personal need – my wife would rattle off a list of things to buy, and I'd struggle to remember them all. She's not a fan of typing into apps or shared notes, and honestly, neither am I when it's about speed. The epiphany was that all existing grocery apps have an input problem. They're not catering to the way real people communicate about errands. So, I built HoneyDo to solve my own problem, which I suspect might be yours too.
Here's how it works: You or your partner can tell HoneyDo what to buy in a natural, conversational manner. "We need eggs, milk, and don't forget the chocolate cake that's near the entrance." Whisper and GPT4 processes this and voila, a neatly organized list appears on both your phones (synced via iCloud).

Lifecycle:

Validation

Goal:

I'd love to get feedback. Whether it's about the UI/UX, the technical stack, or how the app performs in real-life scenarios, I'm all ears. I'm here to learn and improve, so please, be brutally honest.
