About

Handlelista

Read full description

Handlelista makes grocery shopping simpler, whether you shop on your own or together with someone. Add items, tick them off as you go, and remove what you no longer need. Swipe left on an item to add a price and see the total directly in your shopping list. The calculator is available whenever you need it. Save shopping lists you use often and load them again later. Saved lists keep both checked items and prices. Forgot something? Send a short message or a single item directly to your partner. Your partner decides whether the item should be added to their own shopping list. You can also send your entire active shopping list to your partner by pressing and holding the send button for 1.5 seconds. Your partner can choose to add the items to their own list, replace their existing items, or decline the transfer. Each user has their own private shopping list. Your partner only receives what you choose to send and cannot access your private list. Shopping lists, saved lists, prices, calculator and simple partner sharing are combined in one clean and easy-to-use app. Enable notifications in Settings to be notified when your partner sends you an item, message or shopping list.
