Tally vs LCTO

Full tutorial video (subtitles available): http://tallyvideo.lemonskin.net Tally is an application designed to facilitate your shopping. Create a list of products (either manually or by capturing the barcode) and check for errors on the supermarket receipt. It's a fact: when you have to go to the supermarket you need to fill a shopping list. How many times have you tried to keep everything in mind just to realize, upon returning home, you had forgotten a key ingredient for dinner or the cake of next day? Post-its, however, are pretty boring and, without a pen in hand (for example, when you're already going around the shelves), they can't be upgraded in a convenient and practical way. Our smartphone is always with us, then why not use it to make our life easier? Here at Lemonskin we like to go further. Why limit the app to a simple shopping list when it's possible to add tools that can automate the whole shopping process and may help you to verify the correctness of the receipt? There's no need to write all the time "bread, flour, milk, eggs, ..." when we have a camera in our pocket! With Tally creating a list is as simple as frame the finished product barcode (at home) or a new one (in the supermarket). You will need to enter the product name only the first time, from then on the application will learn to associate the correct code to the specific product. No problem if you buy a different brand of yogurt. Tally is capable to associate multiple codes to the same article. One of the most useful features of Tally is the ability to quickly check for errors on the receipt. It's happened to us all to pay a higher-than-expected total and, once at home, realize that a product, advertised as discounted, was instead charged full price. There are mistakes that occur more often than you think, and maybe some supermarket plays a bit around it. Tally has a specific section dedicated to the receipt verification. So you can, in seconds, find the inconsistency and show it to the cashier in order to be immediately reimbursed (or enjoy in case the error occurred is to your advantage). We purposely designed the interface of Tally to be simple and intuitive, but we have included powerful features that simplify your decisions during shopping. If you are not sure you want to buy a particular product but you don't want to take the risk to forget about it, you can have it in the list but disabled. That way it will always be at your fingertips and you can check how much it affects the final cost. Products database is always accessible via a special section and can be easily modified, extended or simplified. This will give you full control over your saved items. Tally, your definitive shopping assistant! :)

EASY PEASY USAGE GUIDE: • Introduction to "LET'S CHECK THIS OUT", ("LCTO"): This app is for the common-good, and is an app that helps SHOPPERS help SHOPPERS SHOP SHARPLY. It's an extremely low-overhead app, therefore, very fast. • Usage: Say that a grocery item you want to Check Out is called "ThisThing". Search for "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" in the upper portion of the app. You'll then see others' comments and stars regarding "ThisThing". Boom - Done. On the lower portion of LCTO's home screen, some shopper_A can Comment on ThisThing to help other shoppers make a good choice. Let's say that you searched for ThisThing, but the app returned a message saying that there's nothing regarding ThisThing. (See the last paragraph † ) This Comment section (lower section) of LCTO contains 3 parts that shopper-A can generously fill in to help other shoppers: 1/3) "Enter the product here" 2/3) "Enter your star rating (0-5)" ††, and 3/3) "Enter your comment here" †† just type in numbers 0-5. Now that shopper-A was kind enough to take a few seconds to help others by entering an otherwise unsearchable product, other shoppers searching for ThisThing can now see how ThisThing is REALLY LIKE. There are 2 buttons: 1/2) Search_Product, and 2/2) Post comment • Closing thoughts More features are on the way, like what the image on a TV commercial (or even the container ThisThing came in) looks like, compared to - - - WHAT YOU ACTUALLY GET! Please help fellow shoppers make the right choice for them to shop smart, sharp, and satisfied with their purchase choices because of you. † • As of 8-10-24, there are about 300 general grocery items in the Apple Database: It will grow very fast. If an item is not in the database, please help fellow shoppers make the right purchasing choice, that is - if after you buy the item, please use LCTO to tell fellow shoppers what you thought of the grocery item you purchased. Now - ENJOY "LET'S CHECK THIS OUT" - "LCTO-14" :)
