SPLASHSHOPPER IMPORT BOOKS UPDATE
From the 'need' screen, the user can tap the Quicklist fly-down and create, update or select a Quicklist of items. Hands-down, my favorite feature of SplashShopper is the Quicklist. That way I can search for bread, then select the type I need, rather than having to try and remember exactly how I entered the item (was it Bread comma wheat or Wheat Bread?). So I have an entry for Bread, with the description containing Wheat. Because the type-to-search only searches by item name, I've opted to put all the item details in the description, instead of in the item name. I've opted to display the item name, description, and quantity. Lists can be sorted by store or category, and organized alphabetically by any field. The layout of your list is totally customizable, so you can easily remove fields you don't use (no sense in keeping a bunch of empty aisle and price fields on my tiny Centro screen).

You can quickly type-to-search to add items to your list, and the list fully supports the five-way. The 'all' tab lists every item in your database, while the 'need' tab contains only the items you've selected for this particular shopping trip. The shopping list screen is separated into two tabs: all and need.

That greatly exceeds my needs, but it's terrific to see that sort of attention to detail. By doing so, SplashShopper can give you a quick total cost estimate, or even organize your list by aisle, so you can shop more efficiently. If you are an even more compulsive person than I am (astounding, really, but possible), you might actually track the price and aisle information of every item on your shopping list. Despite this complexity, adding new items to your grocery list is pretty quick and easy. Considering the number of fields in this database, Splashdata has wisely incorporated both an auto-fill feature, and a customizable fly-down list for each field. And, remarkably, SplashShopper has more features than this compulsive list-maker can use.Įach item in your list can contain a name, a store, a category, two custom fields (for groceries, Splashdata has suggested a description and an aisle), a quantity and unit of measure, a price and a note. But for handling shopping lists, you go to a dedicated shopping list app. Natara Bonsai is pretty much my favorite piece of software. Now, anyone who's been reading my PalmAddict posts long enough probably knows how much I like making lists. They've even populated these example lists with a number of items to get you started, which is especially helpful with a grocery list. To get you started, SplashData has included a handful of example lists ranging from Books, Movies, and Music to the all-important Groceries. SplashShopper is a one-stop-shop for all your list making needs. Go grab the 30-day trial, then come back and finish my review. If you haven't tried out a shopping list on your smartphone, why not?! There just isn't a better, more convenient place to put your shopping list, and with SplashShopper available for so many platforms, you've just run out of excuses.
