Hi guys,

Thanks for taking the time out to read my post. My name is Mitchell, I am a 30 year old Sydney sider with a new baby, new wife, and now a new Shopping list and competition application that I have had built!

I was sick of shopping list apps not recognizing Australian barcodes and being full of ads so I have created an app that recognises more Australian products than any other with no ads at all and being the competition enthusiast that I am, I have added functionality to scan a product barcode, and if there is a proof of purchase competition for that product at the time you can enter it straight from your mobile phone.

I am hoping I can find some Australian residents who would be interested in testing my app and providing some feed back on what you like and don't like about it.The person who provides the most comprehensive feedback (in my opinion) will receive a $20 Coles voucher on 5/08/2014.

Just sign up here (this is the application I am using to test the app and your details will not be shared with any other 3 parties, AT ALL): http://www.testflightapp.com/join/fd602acc82fdbe39468da0da55… and I will send you an email to download the application.

Thanks again and looking forward to hearing from you.

    Looks interesting. I'll give it a go. Are you crowd sourcing info on unrecognised bar codes?

      Great, thanks! Not in the first version, but in the second version there will be a full rewards system for users who enter competitions, scan products to their shopping list and add barcode info. I'll be sending the download link tomorrow night.

      Cheers.

        Hi Mitchell,
        Some feedback on the app. Evaluated on an iPhone 4s running ios7.
        First up, I'm not interested in entering contests, so am evaluating it as a shopping list creator.
        I like the icon, and the name, but you will need to market the app - there isn't much chance I would download it from the app store if I came across it.
        So the open screen was crowded and messy with contest promotions. Bigger icons for the shopping list function would be good.
        The shopping list looks ok once I found it. I worked out how to scan a product.
        I scanned 8 items altogether (all the things handy at my desk).
        The scan speed was very good, much faster than other scanners I have used - excellent.
        Below is the unedited list of scanned items generate by sending an email:
        Convenience And Impulse Retailing : April May 2012, Page 13
        Ritz Snackz Smky Bacon 100Gm
        Lotte Pepero Almond 39G
        Material Safety Data Sheets
        Claratyne Non
        Esselte Esselte Nalclip Refills
        K&D Warehouse > Product Detail: Cleaner Multi Purpose

        The eighth item was Priceline generic facial tissues, which had no entry. I didn't choose to manually enter one.
        As you can see, the 1st, 4th, and 7th items scanned with inadequate info to be useful, and the Claratyne and nalclip entries are marginal (nalclip comes in incompatible sizes, claratyne in about 6 options).
        For the record, the items were:
        (Pump Berry Storm Water 750mL) Convenience And Impulse Retailing : April May 2012, Page 13
        (correct) Ritz Snackz Smky Bacon 100Gm
        (correct, and bonus points, I though this would fool it!) Lotte Pepero Almond 39G
        (Coles generic ibuprofen 24 tab) Material Safety Data Sheets
        (Claratyne non-drowsy 24hr 10 tabs) Claratyne Non
        (Esselte Nalclip Refills Large 25s) Esselte Esselte Nalclip Refills
        (Earth Choice Multi purpose Cleaning Spray) K&D Warehouse > Product Detail: Cleaner Multi Purpose

        All in all, I was really pleased it had DB entries for as many as it did, but it looks like a human needs to wade through the database editing the entries to appear in the form that would be useful on a shopping list.
        I'd be interested in trying a future version.

          Hi mskeggs,

          I'm sorry for the late response but I wanted to thank you for your detailed response and testing of the Nabbit application. Based on your feedback (and others) we have been working on building the product database and making it more detailed.

          We are going to launch the app this week and I will make sure to send you a link to download the app when it is live in the app store.

          Nabbit will also be featured in a prime time TV show in the near future.

          Thanks again for your feedback.

          Nabbit

          @nabbit:

          Good to hear.
          I reckon better to launch even if there are a few rough edges - if you wait for perfect you will never get there!
          Good luck.
          I'd be really interested in hearing how it goes, and if there is a (profitable) market for apps like this focussed on AU things.
