List-specific Favorites
If you would like to configure a specific set of items for a shopping list, for instance if you buy some items from a certain shop only, take to following steps:
- Open All lists tab.
- Click (>) next to the list you want to configure specific favorites for.
- Click on List-specific Favorites to make sure it is checked.
- Go to Favorites tab by clicking Favorites.
- Populate favorites list with specific items for this list.
From now on, the Favorites tab for this shopping list will contain only items you have chosen.
Master lists
Master lists allow grouping several shopping lists into a single listing. The most common use is to have a shopping list, say “Groceries”, to aggregate items from shopping lists associated with stores like “Loblaws” or “Whole Foods”.
To set up a master list take the following steps:
- Open All lists tab.
- Click (>) next to the list you want to configure as Master list.
- Click on Master list to make sure it is checked.
- Click on Sublists and check sublists you would like to include into this master list.
From now on, List tab for Groceries will display items from enclosed lists grouped by list names.
Related considerations:
- If item is assigned to a Master list, it will be displayed in every sublist.
- Items in master list are grouped by sublists. Aisle grouping won’t take affect.
- A shopping list may be enclosed in several Master lists.
- Master list cannot be sublist of another Master list.
Alex, I have read in several of your posts the comment: “We plan some improvements with Master lists & multiple store assignment of products in one of the upcoming updates.” Were the changes in version 3 (IE. Generic Names) the improvements you were speaking of, or is this update still to come?
Thanks for a great and well thought-out product.
Doug, thanks a lot for your feedback. Unfortunately, Master list and multiple list assignment improvements are yet to come. Please keep your eye on the What’s new page to see when the enhancement is available.
OK. I have set a favorites for a list. Works great. But those same items are in another lists favorites. I’m afraid to delete them thinking they will be removed from the original list.
John, by default all lists use the same Favorites. If you’d like per-list favorites, just enable “List-specific Favorites” option in you shopping list. For more details please see List-specific Favorites. Please let me know if you need any further assistance.
Hi, tried EVERY shopping app I could find (about 2 dozen so far) & gung Yod the easiest & most complete. A couple suggestions though:
> be VERY helpful to be able to display items for a site, then NEEDED items from that store, then items IN CART. Currently it’s either NEEDED our IN CART. Don’t want to have to constantly re enter items so as to not show as needed, want a visible list of items I typically buy at that store
> nice if running totals at bottom were larger/more highlighted
> more themes or ability to set own colors for interface
Keep up the great work, be happy to buy film version when first item I listed is possible.
Mauri, thanks for your feedback. Regarding your 1st suggestion, you may consider Favorites as the list of items you usually buy from a store. Once Favorites list is populated, you just tap items you need and they go to your shopping list. Then you check items you put in cart and once you’re done you tap Checkout to clear items from shopping list and save them in History. You may also consider Pick list as a source of items for your shopping list. As for the other two suggestions, we may consider them going forward.
