WS Tasks

Read full description

With WS Tasks you can create and manage your personal tasks, as well as enter amounts for each of them, share them with friends, create polls, synchronize the tasks in multiple devices or see the changes made by your friends on each task in real time. Are you meeting your friends for a bbq but you have to buy too much stuff? With WS Tasks you can create a task with sub-tasks and share them with your friends. Each friend will be responsible for assigning these tasks and entering the cost of the task. WS Tasks will automatically calculate how much each friend has contributed and how much each one has to pay. A quick and easy way to settle accounts. Does a friend not have the application? No problem, you can indicate the total number of participants even if they don't have the application installed, and in this way WS Tasks will calculate how much each participant owes or how much has to be paid to a specific friend.

About

Shared Shopping List

Features
Read full description

The shopping list the whole household uses at the same time. You make the list, share it with whoever you like, and each person ticks off what they have already picked up. Nobody buys the milk twice and nobody has to send a photo of the list on WhatsApp. ONE LIST, FOR EVERYONE • Share it with your partner, your family or your flatmates. • Whoever is at the shop ticks items off, and everyone else sees it instantly. • Every item shows who added it. WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL Down in the supermarket car park there is no reception, and the list keeps working. Anything you add syncs by itself once you are back online. SORTED THE WAY YOU WALK THE SHOP • Categories you create yourself, in the order you go down the aisles. • Sort your way, A to Z, or with what is still missing at the top. • Items you have picked up drop to the bottom instead of disappearing. KNOW WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SPEND Add a price to each item and the list adds up on its own: estimated total and how much is still left to buy. No surprises at the till. SCAN AND SEE WHAT YOU ARE BUYING Point the camera at the barcode and see the Nutri-Score, the processing level (NOVA) and a health score from 1 to 10, with the reasons behind it. You can add the product to your list with one tap. The data comes from Open Food Facts, the open food database. And if you want it, "Basket health" shows you in numbers how much of what you buy is actually healthy. YOUR SHOPPING ON THE HOME SCREEN Add a widget with your lists and tick items off without even opening the app. AT NIGHT TOO Light theme, dark theme, or whatever your phone is using. YOUR DATA We only ask for an email address so you can share lists with other people. You can delete your account and all your data from inside the app, whenever you want.
