Shopper is mainly aimed at going to the supermarket or other regular shopping trips. It lets you keep a big list of things you buy more than once.
Before you go out you tell Shopper that you are "Making a list" by clicking on the icon showing a list and a stylus. It presents you with all the items in the first category and you go through it ticking or scratching the ones you want to buy.
If you want you can make a note against an item - so you could add "4 pints" next to milk; or "Yellow box" next to Margarine like my wife does when her idiot husband keeps getting the wrong one. To make a note you just scratch onto the box and it becomes editable.
Tip: If you don't want the same things as your last trip you can select Menu->Clear List->Clear Wanted to tell Shopper you are starting from scratch. This also clears any notes.
When you're out shopping you ask Shopper "What's Left?" by clicking on the icon showing a list and a tick. It displays everything in a big list and you tick/scratch off things as you put them in your trolley until you are done. When you scratch something it vanishes.
Tip: If you tick or scratch something by mistake you can ask Shopper to show you the full list by clicking on the icon showing a plain list. This lets you see everything you intended to buy with the things that are in the basket crossed out.
Tip: You can turn the category headings on or off. I like them so I know if I should be buying biscuits for the cats or us.
Categories are a generic name for useful groups. I tend to have categories corresponding to aisles or areas in the supermarket.
The Category manager lets you add new categories - click on the icon just showing the list headings. In here you can click "Add Category" and a "New Category" appears ready for editing. Use the up/down arrows to re-arrange categories and click on the dustbin icon to delete. Note there is no undelete. You can also scratch on a category to rename it.
Once you have some categories you can add items too. Simply click the add item button and you can enter a new item and select which category it goes in. If you decide you need a new category then just click on the More>> button.
Tip:If you need to change an item then touch it and wait - after 2 full seconds you get a menu appear that lets you edit or delete the item.
