I’m looking for testers for a closed Google Play test of a shopping list app for Home Assistant.

The app connects directly to your Home Assistant instance and is aimed at making shared shopping lists simpler and faster to use on mobile.

Current features:

  • Connects to your Home Assistant instance
  • Displays and manages your shopping list
  • Add, check, sort, rename and remove items quickly
  • Access to all lists configurated in your HA instance
  • Automatic sync with Home Assistant
  • Offline caching

If you’d like to join the test, please send me your Google Play email address via private message. I’ll then send you the opt-in link.

Edit: Testers just need to install the app and keep it on their phones for 14 days. (Really, that’s all that google asks for…). Only after that I’m allowed to publish it.

Edit2: It’s also available on github: https://github.com/robNice/HA-ShopList

Just don’t install the playstore-apk, as that version lacks the in app updates via github.

Testers I found so far: 3/12

    If it’s Android only you’re ignoring the majority of the smartphone market in the US

      No idea if OP is in the same situation as I am, but when I tried to develop apps for both android and ios, I quickly discarded ios support due to needing to buy some mac and a license to ever think of deploying the application. I don’t own a single apple machine so that would be a massive upfront cost for what I wanted to be a free application

        Exactly this. Licensing costs for the app store alone are a hundred bucks / year. That’s silly for a free app.
