You can define Shops and Categories to choose from for your items. Also, you can enter name, quantity, unit, price, aisle and notes.

Items can be imported from text files and exported to the clipboard or as email or SMS.

# select the '''All''' mode

# select the '''Needed''' mode and go shopping

# tap the '''!''' button for checkout

===All mode===

In All mode, you see all kinds of items (default, needed, checked). This is the mode, where you plan your shopping. The items are sorted by name. The header info displays the number of needed/visible items and the total price of needed items. You can always filter the view with the Shops and/or Category selector in the header or by typing some letters.

===Needed mode===

In Needed mode, you see only items that are needed or that you have checked. This is the mode, which you use while shopping. The items are sorted first by category, then by name. The header info displays checked/visible items and the total price of the items that you have checked. You can always filter the view with the Shops and/or Category selector in the header or by typing some letters.

In the middle, you have some statistics about your items. The first line displays the number of needed or checked items and the number of visible items. The second line displays the price of needed items or checked items. The displayed numbers and price depend on the selected mode ('''All''' or '''Needed''').

When the item is needed, a checkbox appears instead of the ball and the item name changes color. Now the item will also be displayed in the '''Needed''' mode. Needed items are being displayed at the top of the list.

Tapping on the item anywhere (but the '''i''' symbol), checks the checkbox, meaning that you have the item in your cart. The item name changes color and all item texts are being stroked through. Items that you have are being displayed between the needed and default items by default.

If you tap on the checkbox of a '''checked''' item in '''All''' mode, it will be reset back to '''default'''.

In the first line, you can see the name of the item and the needed quantity (if the item is needed). In the second line, you can see the Category and Shop the item belongs to and also the aisle (in []). The third line displays the price for the item and the unit. If the item is needed, you can see the total price (price multiplied by quantity) on the right side. The last line (or lines) display notes for that item, if there are any. All lines besides the first one can be switched off in the Preferences View (see below).

In the middle, there is a '''!''' button. Tapping on the button does a checkout. You should choose Checkout, when you are done with a Shop (you have paid). This switches all checked items of the current Shop back to Default. If you are in the Needed mode, the items will disappear and you can (possibly) continue your shopping tour with the next Shop. You can also do a checkout via the menu.

In the lower right corner, there is the mode switch. You can choose '''All''' or '''Needed''', which changes the display and behavior of the program. Please see above for more info.
