How do I share a list?

In the app, you will also see a new list on the Shopping Lists page in a new category called ‘Shared Lists’.
When you select the new list you will be able to see who has sent you the list and then have the option to either accept or reject the list.
If I update a shared list will the other person see the changes?

One thing you should know is that at present when you ‘tick’ items off a list, other users who share this list will not see this. They will see if you add/delete products or if you change the quantity.

How do I use the barcode scanner?
The barcode scanner uses the camera on your phone to scan the barcodes on products and add them to your shopping list. This is a really quick way to add items you have run out of at home - simply scan the empty packet to add it to your shopping list. You can find the barcode scanner on the main menu, or from within any of your shopping lists.
Why doesn’t the barcode scanner work?
If you have an older phone, your camera may not have the auto focus feature required to scan barcodes. If this is the case you may have trouble getting your phone to scan the barcode properly. If you phone is not compatible with this feature you may find that the option is greyed out. You can still add products, from the weekly specials, other product lists and search.
