This is how it works:

  • When calling up the app, I’ll be able to choose from your existing shopping lists or to create a new list (tap “+”)
  • Now I can enter the name of my list.
  • If I already have a saved list, I can simply copy the preferences by tapping “based on” and chose my existing list.
  • I can now add items to my list by either text search (“+”) or by browsing the category aisles
  • At the top of the shopping list my current store is displayed – this is the supermarket near my home which I’ve already added.
  • By tapping it, the aisles re-arrange themselves to the aisle order in this supermarket. I defined the aile order when editing my stores.
  • Now when I go to my supermarket, I am presented with the items I need in the order I walk past them. All I need to do is put the item in my cart an tap it in my list.
  • One of the coolest features is the autmatic supermarket-recognition via GPS – my shopping list will re-order according to my current location!
  • I can even share my shopping lists by email and synchronize them with my optional shopper-account online.

What I like about Shopper:

  • List-sharing via email and synchronization with your optional shopper online account,
  • I love the possibility to configure the aisles according to each store,
  • I love the GPS-function which associates my location with the stores I am currently visiting.

What I don’t like so much:

  • Comprehensiveness has its weaknesses, the app has grown and the many possibilities it have made it a bit confusing.
