Overview

List My Shopping (LMS) is any easy to use mobile app which you may install on your iOS device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch) or Android (including Phone & Tablets) devices. App boasts of its simple intuitive interface which is our attempt to simplify your shopping experience.

Basic Usage

Main Screen When you first launch LMS app, you’ll see a list of default shopping items namely Milk, Eggs and Bread. We understand these are essential commodities which everyone shops for and you really don't want to forget the same, hence the reason to make them as default entries. You may although remove them from your current shopping list by simply swiping right-to-left on the item entry itself and then clicking on Remove option.

Each shopping list contains the items that you want to buy in your next shopping trip to the store. Traditionally we would make this list on a piece of paper, which may have its own challenges related to how to manage the items in the list while shopping hence the reason we created 'List My Shopping' App. As you are shopping and putting an item into your cart, tap the item in the shopping list and it would automatically get crossed off, just like the way you would do with a paper list.

Create your shopping list as per the store you plan to visit, such as one for “Target” and another one for “WalMart”. You can also create lists that aren’t store-related, such as a list of wines you want to buy (anywhere). And in fact some people create lists that aren’t shopping-related at all, such as a list of things to bring camping, questions to ask their physicians, to-do lists, etc.

It’s important that you associate your shopping items with any store or category (departments within the store) if you wish to leverage the options to sort your list either based upon category or store. This helps you group your items as per the departmental layout of the store or segregates your items based upon different stores for easy navigation within the store.

Adding Items

Adding an ItemAdding item to the current shopping list is extremely simple. Simply start entering the item you wish to in the entry provided on the main screen and click on the 'Add Shopping Item' for example, “Cereal”.

Tip: Modern smart phones sometimes may show an icon for the item you just typed. Feel free to select that icon as presented in your smart phone. The list will accept that entry. This is a popular way to use in-built image features of your smart phone for quick references.

Adding Item Details

Item DetailsAdding item details, while not mandatory, helps you say, pick the right item off the shelf! Adding information related to brand details (manufacturer name) like Kellogs, Pepsi can then help you identify the right item to purchase. Additionally do identify which type (shopping item characteristics) say like 'Frosted Flakes' for cereal or 'Diet Pepsi Fanta' further help you pick the correct item. Selecting measurements, store name and category (departments within the store) then allows you to sort your shopping list in the right order to improve your shopping experience.

No need to click on any buttons when entering the shopping item details, we save your changes as you type and confirm the entry by displaying a table at the bottom of the screen. Simply click on 'Go Back' button once done to identify the item selected with appropriate details later. Don't forget to save the item by swipping left-to-right on the primary shopping list screen to save the item for any future shopping experience and adding it back to the list.


Cross-Off Purchased Items

This marks them with a horizontal cross-off line marking the item as purchased. Made a mistake or tapped by accident, then simply tap it again and it will get back to become un-crossed. Cross-Off feature is a toggle switch and extremely helpful tool for identifying items you have already purchased.
