ListBuddy offers a rich and seamless experience, with intelligent features to help you get more done and be more productive. Innovative technologies combined with a stunning interface makes ListBuddy incredibly powerful. Features: 1. Smart Groups - easily find items that are relevant to you. Create your own smart groups which are filtered based on criteria you pick. For example, all items 'tagged work', or all items 'due today which are tagged important', or 'all items tagged personal and are flagged'. It's completely up to you. 2. Interactive Summary View - view important stats related to your items at a single glance. It's completely customizable. However, tapping on a Summary Item immediately filters your items, showing you what's relevant. And with one tap, create a Smart Group! 3. Smart Camera - Using Machine Learning and Vision, ListBuddy can recognize text, and identify objects. Just point your phone, and ListBuddy automatically adds the item! 4. Sort and Filter - arrange items the way that fits your need, and find what you're looking for with just a few taps! 5. Siri and Apple Watch integration - Use Siri to create lists, add items, and mark them completed. And then view all of lists right from your wrist! This app was created by Rahul O Narayanan.
