So frustrated!! Used this App for over three years. What suddenly happened? ### 1/5 — Crashes *2021-12-22, version 1.3.1* The app crashes when I open it ### 1/5 — Was good *2021-12-16, version 1.3.1* I love this app. It was easy to use but lately it crashes every time I try to open it. I deleted and reinstalled but same thing happened. Please fix it. time is up I have waited and still it won’t open. I have uninstalled it twice and still nothing. Don’t download this app ### 1/5 — Tap and Buy *2021-12-06, version 1.3.1* This app does not work, it will download but will not open. ### 2/5 — What happened? *2021-12-01, version 1.3.1* This was the best app until last week! Now it won’t stay open for a second .. keeps closing! Not sure why?? I don’t know how to contact anyone for help? ### 1/5 — Help *2021-12-01, version 1.3.1* Paid for app and can’t open it. ### 4/5 — Tap and buy *2021-03-06, version 1.3.1* I like the app except you should have included a Deli department ### 2/5 — Great fundamentals *2020-10-24, version 1.3.1* Like the only review which I can see although there are six listed, I think the app has great potential. Editing the pre-existing icons would be good. But I’m not buying the full version because I’m so frustrated at only having 5 items in the light version. How can you trial an app if it’s so restricted as to be useless. This is an aid memoir ~ most people can remember 7 things and I’d have thought that 14 or 15 items in your shopping list was a MINIMUM. So I just can’t get into the app to appreciate it. Most others I’ve looked at don’t have the useability that this might have, but they do offer the option to save multiple lists which I’d like to see here. A ### 1/5 — Doesn't Work *2020-03-20, version 1.3.1* Doesn't work can't text or share ### 4/5 — Great start, but missing some crucial things... *2020-01-29, version 1.3.1* Just downloaded this & would’ve paid for the full version right off the bat with how beautiful the app looks & how easy it is to use, however, I’ll hold off on buying the paid version & see if a update comes out with a few features I think are crucial first.... 1). I absolutely LOVE how I can add a product if it’s not there & even add my own image of the product which saves as a perfectly clear little icon like the ones already within the app, however, there’s no way to delete or at least edit some of the products that are already exisiting.... For example, a item already exists stock within the app for “Coca Cola”, but the image for it is of a can that doesn’t look like any can I’ve ever seen in my country, but there’s no way for me to edit the image or change/shorten the name, or even to delete it altogether so I can add my own item for it, using a image of the bottles I know well & so on... I know I can add my own items with images ect & that’s fantastic, but if I can’t edit/delete some of the stock ones & I create my own to my liking, I’ll essentially end up with double up’s of a whole bunch of things & with a bunch I’ll never use, I don’t want to “hide” whole categories as a way around it either for obvious reasons so the ability to delete or at least be able to edit the images of stock items in the app so I’ll easily recognise the image at a glance while shopping in the store would be great!! 2). There’s no way to make a title for your list, or have multiple lists at once, I NEED that & I’m sure I’m not the only one, as when I shop, I generally divide my shopping between multiple stores so I can benefit from Sales & cheaper products in different stores do not being able to have multiple lists on the go & change the list names is a deal breaker for me unfortunately... 3). The option for adding a weight is only in pounds, I weigh everything by grams & kilos, I can always add a note I guess so not a major problem but still something that’d be great to have the option to choose between grams, kilos, pounds & ounces ect & to be able to select whichever method of weight you like for each individual product as certain products things need to be weighed differently... 4). I’ve seen other shopping list apps that allow you to also keep stock of you kitchen & quantities of items you have but especially being able to put in Used By & Best Before dates with alerts so you’ll always know when items you already have are going out-of-date soon & so you always know how much of things you still have & when you need to buy more of something... I’m not expecting mountains, but that would be a to-die-for feature in this app too!! ...although this app is beautifully presented & easy to use & has some great features, I’m not willing to purchase it just yet due to my first 3 points, mainly my first 2... If those were fixed/updated, I’d buy the full version in a heartbeat, but at the moment this apps not much use for my needs but I’ll keep checking back for new features, definitely got the blueprint for a great app!! ☺️☺️ ## Frequently asked questions about Tap and Buy ### What does the Tap and Buy app do?
