I built this because my wife was frustrated with the ad-bloat and subscriptions in her favorite apps. This is a fast, 100% ad-free utility for people who just want to get their shopping done. Key Features: Per-Store Lists: Create and manage separate lists for different shops. Easy Editing: Quickly add, edit, or delete items on the fly. Integrated Notepad: A dedicated section for extra notes or reminders. One-Time Purchase: No ads, no tracking, and no subscriptions—just $1.49.

Why I'm building a $1.49 ad-free app in a world of subscriptions

Hi everyone, I'm Glen. I'm a 72 year old retired software developer who decided to get back into the game for two specific reasons: I wanted to keep my brain nimble and my wife's favorite grocery list app became so bloated with ads and subscriptions that it was barely usable.

I decided to build Simple Grocery List: Notepad to be exactly what it sounds like clean, fast, and 100% ad-free. No data tracking, no monthly fees, just a one-time $1.49 'coffee tip' to support an indie dev.

I have finished the testing phase and my app is available on Google Play. I'd love to hear from this community do you still value simple 'one-and-done' utility apps, or has the world moved entirely to AI and subscriptions?
