User Interface

Main View

Header

By tapping on the selector in the upper left corner, you open the Shop menu. There you can enable filtering on a specific Shop or edit Shops. All Shops disables the filter. Edit... brings you to the Shops View (see below).

By tapping on the selector in the upper right corner, you open the Category menu. There you can enable filtering on a specific Category or edit Categories. All Cat. disables the filter. Edit... brings you to the Categories View (see below).

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 all 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).

Item List

By default, items have a red ball on the left. This means, they are not needed. Tapping on that ball switches the item to needed with a quantity of 1.

When the item is needed, a checkbox appears instead of the red ball and the item name turns red. Now the item will also be displayed in the Needed mode. Needed items are being pushed to 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 turns blue and all item texts are being striked through. Items that you have are being pushed between the needed and default items.

On the right, there is a i symbol. Tapping on that opens the item menu. There you can open the Edit View (see below), quickly set a quantity between 0 and 9 or a custom quantity (which opens a dialog for entering). Setting a quantity of 0 automatically switches the item to default. Setting a quantity of greater 0, switches the item to needed.

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. The third line displays the price for this item and the units. If the item is needed, you can see the total price (price multiplied by quantity) on the right side. The second and third line can be switched off in the Preferences View (see below).

Footer

In the lower left corner, there is a + button. Tapping on the button opens the Edit View (see below) in new item mode.

In the lower right corner, there is the mode switch. You can choose All or Needed, which changes the display and behaviour of the program.

All mode

In All mode, you see all kinds of items (default, needed, have). This is the mode, where you plan your shopping. The items are sorted by name. The header info displays 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.

Needed mode

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