When a mouse “hung itself” in the refrigerator, going to the supermarket for groceries is simply inevitable. How do you like to go grocery shopping? Do you order them via the Internet or write a huge tolmut “what to buy” and go to the “Product”? When the feeling of hunger overtook you, you can spend a lot of money in the store by buying too much. Therefore, there is a danger of losing control over yourself and acquiring everything that comes across, and when you come home, remember that you forgot to buy the most important thing! How not to lose sight of the most necessary of the products that you need to buy? Of course, make a list for yourself. To facilitate this lesson and make the process of buying products in the supermarket more fun, the Avoska - Shopping List application will help. Real housewives and forgetful husbands will definitely appreciate the idea and are unlikely to argue with the fact that today it should receive the place of honor of the Application of the Day!

You come to the supermarket for milk, and you leave with an overloaded stroller and a bunch of products that were not included in the shopping plans at all. I know from my own experience that the ideal option is to make a list. Then you will save money, and you will not forget what you need.

The Avoska - Shopping List application is a reliable assistant for everyone who is going to the hypermarket for groceries. Make a list of products in minutes on your smartphone and cross off what you have already bought right in the supermarket with one hand.

A convenient service "do not forget to buy" was invented by the developers. All actions for compiling a list of products are reduced to a minimum. Start typing a product that falls into the shopping list of today's trip to the store and the application itself will offer you options for the first letters indicated. By selecting, for example, “mayonnaise” from the list, the application will prompt you to indicate how many packs you need to buy and add a comment to the entry if necessary.

Having finished with the list, the Avoska - List of products application will distribute them by departments by itself, significantly reducing the time it takes to find food in the supermarket. Putting in the basket what you found on the list, cross out from the list with one hand what you have already bought.

The application itself will sort the list of purchased items and show in the top lines what has not yet been taken from the shelves. Bright beautiful colorful design adds a little positivity to the process of going to the store.

I usually write about photography, music, and communication apps, but today we're talking about a trip to the store. Or, to be more precise, about shopping lists.

I must say right away that until recently, this topic was alien to me. Usually, when I “raided” stores of various kinds, I did without such lists, because I remembered the “necessities” that were absent in the household, and I bought everything else based on my momentary need, desire or idea. By and large, I decided what to buy right in the store. This purchase option did not bother me in the least, since I know well what a budget is, and I won’t buy anything extra. Yes, and I usually do not buy much at a time, preferring to go to the store every day and take exactly one time. This is a perennial habit of a pseudo-fresh product.

But it so happened that for the last 2 months, I was very limited in movement, so I remembered a long-forgotten method of shopping - ordering through online stores. And here, whatever one may say, little by little and often it is inconvenient to buy, and not profitable. That's when shopping lists came to me, planning ahead and e.t.c., e.t.c., e.t.c, ...

As a result, after 5-6 weeks of training, they formed a certain habit. This is probably why, while looking through the sales in AppZapp, my eyes settled on Shopping To-Do Pro.

What I noted in it is interesting:

1. It is easy and convenient to create shopping lists that are visually displayed on the desktop of the program, showing the first names of the list.
2. Possibility of calculation of the planned purchase. You can set the cost of the item per piece / kg, including an incomplete unit (0.5 kg or something similar), immediately receiving the cost of a particular purchase, as well as the total amount of the entire list. For a paper worm like me, who is used to a planned economy, this is a huge plus for the application. And I also note that the list has not only total, but also a subtotal.
3. When one of the items is purchased, we remove it from the list by checking the box. At the same time, a pencil flies out with a nice animation and crosses out the position. And the subtotal becomes less by the amount of the purchase. Again, a plus for clarity from lovers of the language of numbers.
4. The presence of a reminder function. Something also from the category of planning. You can set the exact day + time, and the application will remind you of itself with a pop-up window and sound. For me, this feature is almost useless, but the presence of reminders is not superfluous.
5. Well, the last plus is just a great design. Successful stylization of a shabby notebook, nice animation. All together causes (for me) the subconscious pleasure of working with this application.

But there is something that upset:

1. Lack of any synchronization. This is very bad. Thus, I cannot put the application on two (or more) different devices and coordinate my purchases with someone from my relatives or friends. There is not even an elementary possibility to send the list by e-mail. A kind of application in itself, for a very lonely person or a misanthrope. Although a closed user would probably like to be able to synchronize at least with his computer.
2. There are absolutely no settings. Looking into the settings you will find only a small window for entering the tax. In our penates, the thing is useless.

That's actually all. At the moment, the application is distributed free of charge, but during the normal period, its price is only $0.99.

However, having decided to look for something alternative to Shopping To-Do Pro, I went through several paid and free applications and I liked ShopShop - Shopping List

What's good about it:

1. Unlike Shoping To-Do, in ShopShop we have good synchronization options: via dropbox, as well as sending a list by e-mail and sms. Plus, the list can be sent to a printer. And what is convenient: if some positions are already “crossed out from the list”, in the sent message, they will be “ticked” opposite them.
2. Purchased items are crossed out with a flick of a finger or a tap. After that, they can be cleaned from the list by shaking the iPhone (set in the settings)
3. Decent, for such an application, settings (again, in the reproach of Shopping To-Do), where you can set auto-lock, enable or disable synchronization, font size, number of saved entries and other minor needs.
4. Shopping lists are implemented as iPhone desktops, flipped through in the traditional way for the device. Each list can be given a personal name and color.
5. Availability of the Russian version

Well, now a little about the cons of the application:

1. There is no possibility to enter a price for a position, and accordingly there is no amount. So the list is just a normal list, no calculation.
2. Office design, flat, boring. Although everything is organized clearly, simply and conveniently, it is somehow sad for me to use it.

I compared two shopping list apps. In fact, there are dozens of such applications. About some (such as "Buy a loaf" and "Shopping") they wrote and talked a lot. We all (including me) still do not know about some. But even judging by these two, we see a variety of functionality and appearance, a choice for every taste. There is imperfection in both.

Well, as always, the choice is yours.

Going to the store for shopping for some people turns into a pleasant pastime, and for others a torture, to which they usually go voluntarily and regularly. The difference between the first and second can be not only gender, but also purely practical. Some prescribe their shopping plan clearly and in advance, others run from rack to rack, forgetting to buy one thing or another. I have always considered myself to be in the second category of people who do not know how to plan their purchases, which is why I often came home with packages of unnecessary things and without bread. Yes, what is there to dissemble, I still cannot plan my expenses and incomes, however, I coped with one thing - the shopping list is now one of the most convenient and familiar things for me. And not because I became more conscious, rather the opposite - I found the easiest way not to forget anything, called "String bag".

What is the main thing for those who use smartphones as a shopping list? Convenience. This is what I found in Avoska. Someone will tell me a lot of existing alternatives from the App Store, but you will understand why I settled on this option.

String bag allows you to create completely different lists, naming them at least "Products home", though "Don't forget to put it in your suitcase".

The first thing to do - "Add List" by clicking the plus sign. The application will ask you to title it (here you can show your imagination) and save it.

Further, everything is even simpler - products, goods or services are added. Avoska has a fairly wide database of goods, sorted by department. So, for example, if you add a position "lightly salted salmon", it automatically falls into the department "Fish and seafood" and highlighted in blue. Fruits and vegetables are sorted according to the same principle, but they will already be bright green. Ah, raw meat and poultry will turn a dark cherry color. This is very convenient when moving around a huge hypermarket, where only the transitions between departments take several minutes.

But back to adding positions. A large database offers many ready-made options for the name of products, from which you can choose the one you need, or you can enter your own - String bag it won't be removed. The only thing that can happen to an “unidentified” product is moving it to the end of the list and highlighting it with a standard gray color.

In addition to the name of the products, you can add the exact amount (in grams), add your own comment and select the department in which the product is located. The latter in case of some non-standard case mentioned above.

What usually happens in the store? In the hands of a basket for groceries or a cart on wheels, which you have to carry in front of you, and then you have to look at the list and cross out what you bought. FROM Avoska it can all be done with one hand.

Swipe right crosses out the selected item and moves it to the end of the list. Swipe left generally removes a line from the list, as obviously unnecessary.

But if the user made a mistake and accidentally crossed out or deleted the desired position, shaking will undo the last action.

The finished compiled list can be sent by e-mail, sent by SMS or printed. True, for the latter you will have to have a printer with the appropriate AirPrint capability at hand, and the first two options are very convenient and easy to use in everyday life.

If you use the same list for a long time, for example "Buy Home", then the list of crossed-out positions becomes very, very impressive. For quick cleaning in the lower left corner there is basket. By clicking on it, all crossed-out products will sink into oblivion.

Another convenience shopping bags is an indicator on the application icon. If there are unfinished tasks or unpurchased goods in the lists, then a red label with the exact number of forgotten items will light up on the icon. A kind of analogue of the cross on the hand: I looked - I remembered.

For a long time using the application, I managed to get used to its bright interface and no longer notice any flaws. The only thing I would like to see is synchronization between devices and the ability to add the estimated price of a product or service.
