We've found Wunderlist to be truly amazing as a shopping list app, and my family has been throwing this type of idea around for a while, though instead of using a dedicated scanner we were thinking of just throwing together a simple app that used the camera and available barcode reading software that connected directly to our shopping list.

It's nice to see that someone else came up with this idea, executed it so well.

Most shoppinglist apps we tried when we were selecting our app had barcode scanning but we never used it, it is far faster to just type twi chars and select the too thing. Or just go thru the list of most used items.
My problem with most of those apps is that they're too large and offer way more features than we're interested in, often to the point that they break the way we'd like to do things. Can you recommend an app that you use?
