Ios / / December 22, 2019
Today Layfhaker will give you the wonderful news: the best (in our opinion) a shopping list on iOS under the name "Buy a loaf!"Updated to version 3.0. We have prepared a detailed review of the new version of the application, which reveals not only exterior, but also some internal changes, inaccessible user view (developers, we all told).
Developers' Buy a loaf! "- our friends, but we use their software not friendship. This is exactly the situation when you put just one application, and the same evening is your idea of the real usability, simplicity and intuitiveness changes completely. These are not empty words: "Buy a loaf!" Is not just becoming the choice of wording in the Apple App Store. He sits firmly in the tops now. However, enough of the delights you and see for yourself when you start to use it.
We will talk about the application as a new product. So, the basic meaning and function of "Buy a loaf!" - providing trips to the shops without hemorrhoids. Our memory loves to joke with us, we forget to buy something so important and necessary, even for themselves, not to mention the family purchases when shopping list becomes in-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-so so.
Why do we need it?
And just a little bit of science, we know that all the external and internal structure of supermarkets enchanted by one goal: to get us to buy more, buy the fact that we did not plan and do not want. So, the presence of a shopping list to avoid almost all of uselessness that await us there: impulsive purchases, falsely necessary purchases, and so on. But do not go to the store with the same piece of paper. We buy a smartphone for a couple of tens of thousands of rubles, and walk with crumpled list in your pocket? And if you call his wife and ask to purchase more 3-5 products? You will all remember, or even a pen and will take with him?
Well, we have convinced you of the necessity of having a shopping list on your smartphone? So, it's time to move on to the application itself.
Work with products
Thus, the main screen is "Buy a loaf!" Greets us with a blank shopping list with the default name - "shopping list." Below are instructions for the interface. Well, yes, an instruction: 2 steps by which executed all the work on drawing up the list. After making the first product "User's Guide" will disappear from the screen.
Following the instructions, Tapan input field and enter the first letters of the product to us. Appendix immediately displays the autocomplete options in accordance with the entered letters. Tapan on the right product, and then click "Finish."
If you with the product you need to specify the required quantity, instead of the first "Ready" Tapan on the button "Add number" (or write all the hands through the colon according to instructions). The keyboard will switch to digital, we introduce the desired number, and only then click next to "Done". If the product is entered incorrectly, then just do it on swipe left or right, and the application will offer to remove it from the list.
That's all the products in the list, and now they are always before our eyes. Directly in the procurement process, we simply Tapai on a product that was put in the basket, after which it is placed under the list, and becomes almost invisible.
Why leave the screen that is already in the basket? What if you accidentally deleted tapom the wrong product? Suffice tapnut it again (when he was on a dark background under the list), and the product will return to the list. Well, if these items crossed out so much press on the eye, then simply "drag" list on the screen up: the bottom of the tip-action appears. Continuing to pull up the list and a prompt changes to the cleaning option erased products.
Have you noticed that different products are displayed in different colors? When you enter the product and the list of products for each category having its own color. Smooth transition to the second way in the list of input products, i.e. after a preset dictionary. As shown in the screenshot, the dictionary alphabetically sorting is possible, either by thus color-categories. Choose more convenient for sorting, Tapan desired products and by pressing the button "Finish" once we add them to the list. In the future, you can add them as needed amount using a long tapa on a particular product.
Naturally, the preset dictionary products are fully customizable and editable. You can add your own products (they are introduced to the dictionary automatically) and simultaneously assign them the desired category by matching colored squares above the keyboard. Personalization, yeah.
Working with Lists
Attentive users should note that in the top right corner of the interface has an icon similar to the selection list. It is actually a selection of products lists. It is obvious that in general all contribute to a single list - a recipe for chaos. Think about it: we have a "long-term" buying (what we want to buy, but not now, and in the future). There are everyday purchases (perishables) has planned purchases every week or two to four. Reasonable to spread it all on the different lists, then use a long tapa on the name assigned to each list a unique and meaningful name (for example, as we have - products in the office a separate list). Clicking on this button will open the "gallery" created contact lists (the number on the button itself indicates the number of created lists).
By the way, the landscape orientation is supported in all menu interface.
Navigation between lists carried swipe left and right and the bottom are sharinga option (Yes, created on the mobile device list in one tap clone, send an SMS or Email, or print).
Synchronization
So we got to this wonderful feature. Do you see the icon in the top left of the interface? Clicking on it will transfer to the user authentication screen in the system. Yes, "Buy a loaf!" Allows you to create uchotku, which can be used by several people at once. What does it give? It's simple: if the user is authorized under certain uchotkoy, making any change in the product lists, these changes in real time will be displayed on all other devices where you are logged into the "Buy a loaf!" under the same account recording.
This nimble and visual synchronization, by the way, and became the main feature of version 3.0. Changes not only instantly synchronized across devices and the web interface, but also visually displayed on the other devices.
Look again on the control button lists. Something happened? Why did she suddenly turned blue? It's simple: such a metamorphosis means that in one of the lists has been a change (on iPad screenshots tied to the same uchotke "Buy a loaf!").
Tapan on the icon list management and are looking for a list with a blue icon. That there is something to add or remove. It's really convenient.
Slightly above, we wrote about Web-based "Buy a loaf!"And it is worth a little bit and talk about it. This is a typical site by logging on to which established and authorized in the "Buy a loaf!" Uchotkoy can freely manage your lists, if you are in a mobile application. So what? Not all of the family members, friends and colleagues can be a device to iOS. They can work with lists is through the web.
Surprise
Probably, many Android users, after reading the text, too, wanted such krutotu on your smartphone. The developers told us that the Android version of the "Buy a loaf!" Ask them for the first days of the release of the first version of the app in the App Store. And now look at Home page 'Buy Baton! ".
Yes, Android version will be, it is actively developing, and we encourage you to sign up to receive news about the release of the "Buy a loaf!" In Google Play. You will be notified about the availability of even before we have time to write about it.
A secret: we already have a fully working stable beta version of the Android app, and we will say simply: it is very steep, in something even tougher than his grandparent's iOS, but we will not give it to you :)
No, we are not greedy and not harmful, just as long as it is impossible, so you have to wait for the release on Google Play, and believe me, it will be a bomb!
Total
What we have not told? Probably only the fact that the version of "Buy a loaf!" 3.0 - a completely new product, written from scratch: the application itself, synchronization, all-all-all. I was taken into account past experience and mistakes, and a decision on the complete rewriting of product rather than installing additional crutches - surely a laudable initiative.
