Undo button!

Cindy Phelps 11 years ago • 0
My kids sometimes help manage my list while at the store and will check something off and they don't know what. Would be nice to retrieve that somehow.

Prevent adding duplicates to a list

PhilSAdams 10 years ago • updated by Buy Me a Pie! (Head of Customer Care Service) 9 years ago • 2
In a list, if the item already exists there, prevent me from adding it twice.

Maybe grey-out the text or background colour?

See 'Shop-Shop'!!

I tend to add items to my shopping list as I think of them - maybe when I'm reaching for something in the cupboard, and it's not there...

Trouble is, in the course of a week, I might reach for that item 2 or 3 times and so add it to the list, 2 or 3 times!

(And don't tell me it's my age! ;-)

Add keep device from sleeping permission

Jason Ross 11 years ago • updated by Buy Me a Pie! (Head of Customer Care Service) 10 years ago • 1
It gets annoying to shop while holding the devices and have the device keep going to sleep particularly if there is a device lock in place.  We need to be able to optionally specify the app should keep the device awake or at least extend the sleep/screen off interval temporarily while the app is opened.  It should still dim the screen to next to nothing during idle but never require a full device unlock to get going again during a shopping trip.

This suggestion goes hand in hand with the suggestion for more deliberate check-off items on lists in order to help prevent unwanted or accidental check-offs.

"screen on when app is on screen" on Android would be great

Riccardo Minisola 11 years ago • 0
I think it would be great to have the possibility of keeping the screen on when using the app, so that we don't have to continuously push a button to see our list when we are browsing through the store.

Merge lists

Tim Kersten 11 years ago • 0
It would be very helpful to be able to merge 2 lists together, i.e. to merge list (A) into list (B).

Saving recipes (into categories) and adding the ingredients to a grocery list

Jean Snow 9 years ago • updated by Don 9 years ago • 1

Would be nice if you could save your recipes and sort them into categories like 'deserts',.. if you want to cook one of your recipes you can just adjust the amount of people and then add them to your main grocery list.

Lock screen widget for iOS

knovak84 8 years ago • updated by Buy Me a Pie! (Head of Customer Care Service) 7 years ago • 0

with the new iOS 10 update and its update to the lock screen widgets being able to access lists and "cross out" items would be nice while shopping. The newer swipe to cross out is nice and helps with my mistakes but being able to have phone "closed" would take it a step further.

Allow for creating sub-items under generic items

Richard Cramer 11 years ago • 0
For example under the Soup item:

Soup                             +
    Chicken Noodle       1
    Tomato                     3
    Vegetable                 2

Let me explain the above example. Using the new functionality of adding sub-items to an item, when the person adds a sub-item under Soup, the number of items for the generic Soup turns into a plus symbol to show that sub-item(s) exist under the category Soup. The person can add the number of items per each sub-item. In this case, one can of chicken noodle, three cans of Tomato and two cans of Vegetable.

This would allow for adding specific items under a generic item.

Ability to add descriptions/comments to each item.

Brian 9 years ago • updated 9 years ago • 0

Instead of having many different entries for something, like bread for example (white, wheat, grain, certain brands, etc.), the option to add a description would help various users from unnecessarily adding new items that only clutter the list since new items from certain people may also be uncategorized.

The comments should be visible on the list, and in a smaller font beneath the main item.

Alfabetical sorting of checked groceries

Nick Artby 11 years ago • updated by Buy me some config. management 9 years ago • 2
In order to find recently checked/bought items, and reactivate them next time you go shopping, it would be sweet if the inactive list was sorted alfabetically, instead of just by the last item as today ... by the way, thank you for an absolut fantastic app!! :)
