Shared Shopping List
Read full descriptionHide 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 โข Share it with your partner, your family or your flatmates. โข Whoever is at the shop ticks items off, and everyone else sees it instantly. โข 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 โข Categories you create yourself, in the order you go down the aisles. โข Sort your way, A to Z, or with what is still missing at the top. โข 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.
