Configure Pick list
Pick list configuration is available under Menu > Settings > Pick list or by clicking Gears button on Pick list screen.
For your convenience product catalog is split into following categories and you can filter by them in Side Menu > Sort and Filter:
- Predefined catalog – product items delivered with app or imported using standard or custom catalogs
- Automatic picks – product items created from shopping lists, history, etc.
- My picks – product items added manually.
Import product catalog (experimental)
Tap Side Menu > Sort and filter > choose Predefined Catalog. This step is required so that imported items would end up in Predefined Catalog category.- Tap Side Menu > Delete Presets if you would like to remove existing non-used products. Otherwise you may skip this step.
- Tap Side Menu > Import.
- Select a language for import.
Import custom product catalog (experimental)
If you choose to import Custom product catalog, you will be prompted to paste CSV-formatted text like the following
Aisle,Name,Details
Example:
Canned Goods,Carrots,Canned
Canned Goods,Cherries,Canned
Since you don’t want to manually input text into the box, the better way is to open a file and copy its text beforehand. For instance, the file can be transferred via USB to your SD card and then opened on the phone. Or the file can be sent to your phone as an email attachment.
One of the scenarios to import custom catalog:
- Prepare a file with each product in a new line and formatted as Aisle,Name,Details.
- Give your file the .txt extension which is more likely to get opened by one of the text editing apps on your phone.
- Send the file as attachment via email and open the message with your email client on your phone.
- Open attached file with text editing app on your phone.
- Long-press the text and select Copy All.
- Open Mighty Grocery and go to Pick list –> Menu –> Import –> Custom.
- Long-press the text field (see illustration above)
- Tap Paste.
- Tap Save.
Full list of supported columns:
- Aisle,Name,Details,Comments,Quantity,Units,UnitPrice,TotalPrice
Units
Configurable measurement units to add/change/hide measurement units and provide desirable increase/decrease rate.
Go to Settings –> Units and adjust units to your needs.
If you need to reset Units configuration or populate units of different language, tap Reset and choose desired language.
Configure Tabs
Configurable tabs feature allows showing & hiding tabs in the Tab Bar on top of the screen. Go to Menu –> Settings –> Configure tabs. And set check against the tabs you want to be visible on top of your main screen.
By the way, long-tapping the Tab Bar will show the list of all available tabs, thus making it easy to navigate to any tab of the app.
It works great. But I cleared off all the Tax from the items, because it didn’t add up right when I got up to the check out. So I take a calculator with me to add the tax to know what I’ll be spending at the checkout.
Hi Ivadle, thanks for your feedback.
Is there any chance that you could scan (take a photo) of a receipt which didn’t add up correctly and send it to us so we could have a closer look? Our contact email: hi@mightypocket.com
Thank you for your patience.
In regards to the pantry feature, am looking for an app lets me
indicate a reorder frequency. If I put in 2 weeks then it will automatically be added to my shopping cart 2 weeks after my last purchase date. Any chance of that feature?
Hi Sharon, thanks for your question. Yes, we plan to have “reoccurring items” feature in Pantry Manager. Thanks!
While editing Units of measure, there is a field (I have the spanish version) that reads Increment, what is this for? Also there is a field named: Relation basis (I am translating in Spanish says: Relación base) What is this field for?
Thanks for the answers
Hi there, thanks for your question. The “Increment” field allows setting the “step” by which item Qty gets changed when you tap “Plus” or “Minus” buttons under Edit item tab or in Edit mode of a shopping list.
As for Base ratio field, it allows you entering price in grams and have your Unit Price per kilogram. I’d recommend seeing field values of “Grams” units.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Hi,
How can I unsubscribe from the list?
Love this app but am unsure of all of its functions. When adding new items, the default is Pet Supplies (aisle?). Would prefer this default to none or other category, or even fruit and veg. Can you direct me to make this global change for adding any new item? Thank you!
Ang, thanks for your feedback and your question. Kindly note that a new item should be added to the “Other” aisle by default. Could you please let me know item names which end up in Pet Supplies aisle? Also, any chance that you renamed aisle “Other” into “Pet Supplies”? Thanks.
I would like to be able to have the tax be configured on the price of the item and not the tax after coupons are applied. Thankyou.
Tiffany, thanks for your question. Kindly note that you can apply tax before discount after adding coupon to an item. Just tap Coupon / Discount field again and choose “Apply tax before discount”. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
How can I get this to be exact at the checkout. Our tax is 8.8%. If I put the tax for each item then when I get up to the checkOut its totally off. But if I don’t put it on any item then when I get to the check out I have to use the calculator to see what its gonna be when I get up there.then its right.
Iva, kindly note that some of your items may be non-taxable, therefore if you apply tax on every item, the total may be inconsistent with your receipt. If you want us to have a closer look, please send a photocopy of your receipt to hi@mightypocket.com Thanks!
Hi,
When I buy liquor at favorites I saved in quantity by liters.
For example: saved Vodka 0.75 litres. Put the price and coupon.
When I want to add quantity (let’s say I want to buy six bottles) application starts adding by porters, not items, and its own incrementation.
I suggest to have option for how to increment, buy item or quantity.
Thank you, great job. Love your app
Yuriy, thanks for your feedback.
Kindly note that you can change individual increment rate for an item by long-tapping plus or minus button on Edit item screen.
However, I’d recommend entering “0.75 l” in item details, and having item quantity as “1 bottle”.
Please let me know if you have any further questions or comments.
If I do it the way you suggested (put unit as bottle, and .75L as comment) then prices comparison will not work, because you avoid compare by price for a litre, not by bottle..
Yuriy, I see what you mean. There is a trick you might want to use to compare prices.
Imagine you have items with names “Drink 0.75L” and “Drink 1L” both with bottles as measurement unit. The app won’t compare them by default because they have different names. To work around this, you could assign Generic name of “Drink” to both items (long-tap Name field in Edit item screen). Then, if you set “Number of units” to 0.75 for item 1 and 1.0 for item 2, the app will compare prices correctly. To change Number of units, tap the rightmost field in price compare row.
This requires a few steps to set up, but once done it will be easier to compare prices going forward.
Does not work for me…
Please help me to set the favorite.
Vodka1, 0.75L bottle, price $38.99, sale price $13.29
Vodka2, 0.75L bottle, price $19.99, sale price $12.59
Vodka3, 1.75L bottle, price $26.99
And then tell me how to do price comparison for these 3 vodka…
Thanks a lot!
Yuriy, could you please let me know what exactly are you having difficulties with?
To make sure that your items are comparable, they need to have identical “Generic name” field value, and also they need to have “Number of pieces” value of 0.75 and 1.75 respectively.
Here’s a little article about setting Generic name and Number of pieces in Price compare User’s Guide.
How can I add a new category, like Cosmetics, to the pick list catalog. I tried the help button, but it directed me here.
Hi Jean, thanks for your question.
Kindly note that you can add new categories (aisles) under Menu –> Settings –> Aisles. Please see Manage aisles User’s Guide for more details.
Please let me know if you have any further questions or comments.
Hi Alex:
I have a suggestion for an enhancement to this great application.
Adding a pantry field to store showing how many of a particular item there is in the pantry and then automatically updating the quantity in the pantry field when an item is checked out in the grocery list. So for example if I have 4 cans of Tuna in the pantry field and I buy another 3, when I check off the item in my shopping list, the pantry gets updated to 7 cans.
Right now I use the Comment field to do this snd I update the quantity manually which tends of be tedious.
Keep up the good work.
Wilfred
Hi Wilfred, thanks for your suggestion.
Kindly note that Pantry manager is one of the planned features and the behaviour you describe will be there as well.
Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you again.
