AccuShop is a simple yet very powerful shopping list assistant. No pictures or prices or coupons or features that just get in the way of shopping. This is an app that allows you to make your shopping list fast and easy. You setup a store, usually grocery store, but it can be any type of store. You provide the list of items you typically purchase, and indicate their category (eg. Dairy, meat, etc.), the Aisle they appear in the store, and where they can be found in your home. In the app, you can view your list organized by Aisle for easy shopping, by Category or Location for easy "List making". Switching between views is instantaneous. Aisle: Where the item is located in the store. Could be a number (like 3) or a name like "Bread" or "Fish". It can be anything that helps you locate the item. You can sort the Aisles by the order you go through the store. Category: Up to you how to categorize the items. Make as many or as few as you like. Whatever you need to help organize your shopping needs. You can change them around at anytime - rename them, move items back and forth until you get it just right. Location: This is meant to indicate where you keep that item in your house. When I make my shopping list, I go section by section and see if I need anything from my master list. You can organize this anyway you wish. AccuShop remembers when you last purchased an item and you can specify approximately how often you purchase that item - Always, every 2 weeks, 3 weeks, etc. AccuShop can then, if you wish, start your new shopping list off with the most likely items you will need to purchase (like Milk or Bread). AccuShop will also keep track of how often you purchase items. After a about a month of usage, it will start predicting items that are "due" for purchase. You can also sort the list by name, number of times you purchased an item, frequency of purchase or by the date of last purchase - very powerful tools to help you find items you may need in your home. AccuShop is easy, fast and fun to use. It takes the pain out of making up your weekly shopping lists and makes shopping a little more fun - or at least, a little less frustrating. You can specify the order items will appear in each Aisle or Category or Location and AccuShop will leave it that way for you. Give it a try! Suggestions for improvement welcome! One more thing.... You can also email your shopping list (all items, or just those on your current shopping list) to yourself or a friend. It is sent in CSV format which looks really nice when opened on an iPhone or it can easily be imported into a spreadsheet program (like Excel) if you want to do some of your own "analysis" on your shopping habits. You can even share the entire Store file with another person (or yourself) and import it directly into AccuShop. Great for archiving, backup or sharing your great store setups with your friends and family. Icon made by Freepik from www.flaticon.com
Grocery/ShoppingList

Turn your recipes into a grocery list you can shop from. Photograph a printed recipe or choose a recipe image, review the ingredients, and add them to MyGroceryList. Import more recipes one at a time to build a combined list with cumulative ingredient totals. START WITH SIRI Say "Hey Siri, scan a recipe in MyGroceryList" to open the recipe scanner. Take a photo, check the recognized text, and add the ingredients to your list. You can also start from the app or Apple's Shortcuts app. ONE INGREDIENT, ONE TOTAL Matching recipe ingredients share a single row. Common equivalents, such as flour and all-purpose flour, are combined. Fractions are preserved, and compatible measurements are added together. Different varieties, such as almond flour and regular flour, stay separate. Weight and volume remain visible as separate amounts when they cannot be combined. COUNTS AND PACKAGE SIZES THAT MAKE SENSE See the actual number of eggs or cans you need. A recipe calling for two 15-ounce cans keeps both the two-can count and the size of each can. Measured ingredients show totals such as 5 1/2 cups directly in the list. ORGANIZE AS YOU ADD Recipe ingredients use matching existing categories and previous ingredient assignments. Supported custom categories, such as Baking, Vegetables, Spices, and Seafood, are used when available. Unmatched ingredients go to Other. Review category assignments before adding. KEEP EVERYDAY SHOPPING SIMPLE - Add groceries by typing, voice, or quick suggestions. - Scan product barcodes to look up available nutrition information from Open Food Facts. - Create and arrange your own categories. - Check off groceries, search your list, and filter by category. - Save lists to history and reuse them later. - Print your grocery list or send it by email. - Sync lists through iCloud across devices signed in to the same Apple ID. Recipe text recognition happens on your device. For best results, photograph the ingredients section of a printed English recipe and review the text before adding. Available for iPhone and iPad running iOS 17 or later.
