Forget paper and post-its. Make your shopping list quickly and easily. Shogether is a shopping list app designed for anyone who wants a simple and immediate tool to write down the things to buy, you don't need to know anything other than what you already know to make a shopping list. We designed this application as first users without being guided by marketing logics that overwhelm users with complex, useless or confusing functions. We have a clear goal: to make the user experience simple and practical. The app is free and there are no subscriptions to sign up for. Everything you need at your fingertips: • focus on the goal: a single list to write the things to buy, ready to use, without useless configurations • very high-performance: designed for extremely simple interaction: touch and tick, drag items up or down, delete them by dragging them to the right or left. It is managed with simple and familiar actions • shareable: by tapping the share button, the list of your contacts opens to choose the spending partner. Your request will be sent to the contact and as soon as they have accepted your sharing you will see it at the top of the screen and your list will be shared • complete: all your cards available: to add a loyalty card just select a brand or enter the name of the brand if not present, then frame the code with the camera or enter it manually and you will always find it available with a single button. You can add as many as you want. Many other additional functions will help you, without making confusion • when one of you adds something to the list, the other will see it highlighted for a few seconds • you can be notified when your partner adds things, just activate the "notifications" option in the settings • you can change the font size of the list to make it easy to read, from small to "very large" • if you want to reorder the things in the list more rationally, hold them down and drag them wherever you want, this change will also be reflected in your partner's list • if you prefer high-contrast text, white text on a black background, no problem, just activate this option We care a lot about privacy and, with the exception of your mobile number (which will not be shared with third parties), all the information you enter cannot be traced back to you, there is no profiling. What we analyze is done exclusively to improve the app, send you offers and evaluate whether we can provide new useful services. To support the project we have created a completely new advertising system, designed to favor the consumer. All advertisers who want to advertise their products on Shogether will be able to do so, granting discounts to the consumer. We have currently inserted explanatory banners for the sole purpose of explaining how the system will work. We would like to give you the opportunity to enjoy special offers from supermarket chains, saving you money, always to your full advantage. We have designed the banners to make them visible, but at the same time not invasive. All promotions will appear immediately, just add an item to the list, if Shogether finds any available discounts, it will show you at the bottom, ready to be used. Our sustainability goal is to reduce the environmental impact of paper-based advertising, which is still widely used by supermarkets. Tons of heavily inked, glossy paper—difficult to recycle—end up in landfills. We believe that more effective and, above all, more sustainable advertising is possible. We aim to engage supermarket chains in reducing printed materials in favor of more efficient and eco-friendly communication.
