## What is Shopping list BestBefore?

The app that helps you to save money: you will no more waste your food! ... and not only this!

There are many grocery list apps and they work the same way:
- create a list of things to buy
- go to supermarket
- remove the item from list when you purchase it
Stop! All ends here!

Best Before makes more and allows you to manage:
- Automatic and manual shopping list
- Expiration dates
- Inventory stocks
Everything integrated into a simple and functional interface.

You can manage multiple lists and share your lists on the fly with other Best Before users without requiring any login.

Best Before learns your habits so that:
- the shopping list will always be ready and updated
- do not waste more food and you'll save a lot of money
- you will not be without ingredients or a food because for every item you can specify the minimum amount in the pantry below which the item will be added automatically to the list of spending!
- when you add a new item, if it's already in the dictionary,  the expiration date is automatically suggested based on the last available information (every list have a separated dictionary that remembers your items's insertion).

Complicated? No! 
Everything is handled with three simple sections: the RED one to control the food expiring dates, the YELLOW one for the buying list to and the GREEN one for all items that do not expire or for which you do not care to enter an expiration date.

Not only that! you can use Best Before to manage, for example, your medicine cabinet and you will no more stay with expired or ended medicine just when you need it.

According to the latest statistics, each american family throws away, on average, food for 1.300 USD every year. Don't through away your food, save your time and money with "Best Before", the application that organizes your stocks.

### 3/5 — Works great

*2020-05-26, version 2.6.9*

This is a great little app that does what it claims and not a lot of frills or fluff. It just works. My only complaint is that it claims to have an in-app option that, for a meager fee, will get rid of the advertisements but I can find no way to select that option nor do I find another paid version of the app I the App Store. Please make the advertisement version available.
Update: I am lowering my rating on this app because after a week or so of using it I have discovered an annoying glitch. This app continues to run in the background even after adjusting the iOS settings to NOT allow this. I found this when trying to figure out why I had so much battery drain overnight.  It also appears there is no longer any support for this app.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2016-08-23, version 2.0.2*

Glitchy & you have to manually enter everything.

**Developer response:** Provide a prepared list of foods is not the purpose of the app. This app can be used with any kind of products, not just food, like an assistant to handle any kind of products with an expiration date.
