EASY PEASY USAGE GUIDE: • Introduction to "LET'S CHECK THIS OUT", ("LCTO"): This app is for the common-good, and is an app that helps SHOPPERS help SHOPPERS SHOP SHARPLY. It's an extremely low-overhead app, therefore, very fast. • Usage: Say that a grocery item you want to Check Out is called "ThisThing". Search for "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" in the upper portion of the app. You'll then see others' comments and stars regarding "ThisThing". Boom - Done. On the lower portion of LCTO's home screen, some shopper_A can Comment on ThisThing to help other shoppers make a good choice. Let's say that you searched for ThisThing, but the app returned a message saying that there's nothing regarding ThisThing. (See the last paragraph † ) This Comment section (lower section) of LCTO contains 3 parts that shopper-A can generously fill in to help other shoppers: 1/3) "Enter the product here" 2/3) "Enter your star rating (0-5)" ††, and 3/3) "Enter your comment here" †† just type in numbers 0-5. Now that shopper-A was kind enough to take a few seconds to help others by entering an otherwise unsearchable product, other shoppers searching for ThisThing can now see how ThisThing is REALLY LIKE. There are 2 buttons: 1/2) Search_Product, and 2/2) Post comment • Closing thoughts More features are on the way, like what the image on a TV commercial (or even the container ThisThing came in) looks like, compared to - - - WHAT YOU ACTUALLY GET! Please help fellow shoppers make the right choice for them to shop smart, sharp, and satisfied with their purchase choices because of you. † • As of 8-10-24, there are about 300 general grocery items in the Apple Database: It will grow very fast. If an item is not in the database, please help fellow shoppers make the right purchasing choice, that is - if after you buy the item, please use LCTO to tell fellow shoppers what you thought of the grocery item you purchased. Now - ENJOY "LET'S CHECK THIS OUT" - "LCTO-14" :) ## Version history (last 4 releases) ### 2.2 — 2024-10-08 Since there have been suspicious activities in my containers, I've ensured that my CK DB is now sanitized via new user input rules in the VM. This may have been due to MITM embedded type attacks after legally and validly paying for an advert for LCTO-14 in a very popular app, and one that I very much enjoy, actually. Hopefully this sanitization will prevent users from trying to embed malware attacks. ### 2.1 — 2024-09-28 User search_product input sanitization was done, (apostrophes, periods, and underscores) are stripped for the CKDB. Textfield background textual hints are more clear to help user navigation for POSTing or COMMENTing. Star ratings feature improved. Robust pagination was done. ### 2.0 — 2024-08-11 I amended a very detailed, important, and brief Usage Guide. It's a pitch for LCTO, plus an easy instruction guide that's optimized to be simply explained yet short to read.  It takes slightly over 1 minute to read all about LCTO (Let's Check This Out, AKA LCTO-14). The previous version was "incomplete", in a way. This new usage guide makes usage painfully clear. I've been examining the implementation of including a feature that will contain images. These images will compare the grocery item's picture on the container, vs what you REALLY get, eg., out of the oven or microwave. ### 1.0 — 2024-08-06 No release notes. ## Apps similar to LCTO | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Grocery List - Smart](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/grocery-list/id1516317581) | 4.3 (24) | Free | Shopping | | [6pm](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/6pm/id1068014324) | 4.9 (76,424) | Free | Shopping | | [Verifyt - Fashion & Community](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/verifyt/id1540056127) | 4.7 (127) | Free | Shopping | | [Complex](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/complex/id1150528072) | 4.9 (574) | Free | Shopping | | [Dubimark](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/dubimark/id6479883471) | — | Free | Shopping | | [Find Hot Deal-Alert Price Drop](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/find-hot-deal/id1596828026) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Shopping | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
