It seems that 'retail' has finally decided that a lot of people own iPhones and therefore they should jump on the application bandwagon.
Coles say that the app will help you....
"Plan your shopping, discover delicious new recipes and stay informed of all the latest weekly specials with Coles ShopMate for iPhone.
Coles Shopmate combines the convenience and range of your local Coles supermarket with a host of powerful take-anywhere features unique to the iPhone. "
All well and good but my local Coles (around 1 kilometre from my house) hasn't hit the database yet and even though it has been open for over four months it doesn't come up in the list of local stores to choose from. That to me I'm afraid is a big 'fail' Coles and makes the application unusable. The store IS on the website database though so a tiny bit of tweaking should put me in the position of being able to properly trial the program.
I think this could be a useful program - recipes, shopping list & specials catalogue combined - has anyone used it? If they had my store would I find it useful? I'd be very keen to hear how it compares with the standard iPhone shopping lists. Is it useful or is it more of a gimmick?
