KEASBEY, N.J. — ShopRite's Weekly Specials mobile app is now compatible with Android devices.
The tool is the first mobile phone app on Android’s Operating System dedicated to weekly grocery specials, according to ShopRite. It was developed by MyWebGrocer and first introduced as an Apple iPhone and iTouch app last November.
After selecting a preferred store, users receive price updates automatically each Sunday morning. They can browse specials by category, build a shopping list and synchronize lists between their device and shopping list on ShopRite.com.
Voice command capabilities to add items to a shopping list are available, but only to Android users.
ShopRite’s introduction comes on the heels of Meijer's Find-It app by Point Inside. It's also compatible with Apple iPhone, iTouch, iPad and Android devices.
Meijer Find-It pinpoints current location through a combination of GPS, Wi-Fi and cellular towers to helps shoppers locate groceries, find the nearest restroom and remember where they parked their car.
The app also provides updated information about weekly specials and promotions, with the ability to instantly locate sales items.
It’s being piloted in the chain’s Knapps Corner, Cascade, Grandville, Clyde Park Avenue and Gaines Township supercenters.
