ManyStops

One shopping list for all your stores.

ManyStops is the shopping list app for people who shop at several stores. It works at any store, from the big chains to independent and international grocers.

What you can do with ManyStops

Eat. Say what you want to cook tonight. ManyStops tells you which ingredients are missing, and what ordering in would cost instead.

Plan. Fill in next week's meals, a day at a time. Any item you are short of joins the shopping list.

Decide. The list is split between your stores. One big trip is compared with a few stops at nearby ones, with the driving time for each and what each should cost by the prices you paid before. When nothing is urgent, it tells you the trip can wait, and until which day.

Shop. Each store's list, in the order you walk that store. Scan each item into the cart, and type its price if you like, or photograph each store's receipt. That is all the data entry there is, and it happens while you shop. Directions to each store open in your phone's maps app.

You do not walk around the house

ManyStops works out what has probably run out, from how often you buy each item and what you have cooked. Decide opens on "Probably out", a short list with a reason for each item. One tap says you still have it.

What it learns over time • The order of each store, from the order you pick items up. There is nothing to set up, and it is ready on your second visit. • What you paid for each item at each store, with the date. • How long each item lasts in your house.

What you get back • "That's high" when a price is well above what you usually pay at that store. • A note when an item is cheaper at another store you already go to, by your own prices. • A budget for the trip, with a running total as you shop. • Past trips, with the receipt photo and what each trip cost. A receipt you find at home can be scanned there too.

Shopping together Everyone in your group shares one list. Whoever is in the store sees what was added at home a minute ago. Any item you mark Low or Out joins the trip of whoever is shopping. After a shared trip, ManyStops works out who owes what. Lists of your own stay yours, shared only with the groups you choose.
