Overview
From the iTunes' page: "Are you highly organized? Or maybe you're looking for a way to get there? You need SplashShopper, the ultimate smart list manager that you can take with you. Manage your lists of groceries, gifts, to do's, wines, music, and more! Track prices and locations. Easily manage and synchronize lists on your iPhone and desktop computer with the Mac and Windows companion software."
SplashShopper is the reigning king of to-do, grocery, and shopping lists for the iPhone, so let's take a look under the hood to see what makes this app tick.
Functionality
Once SplashShopper is launched you'll be taken to a 'Home' page of sorts that displays, well, all of your lists! From this screen you can access multiple areas of SplashShopper.
You can add a new list by clicking on the '+' button in the top right hand corner.
In the top left, you find an 'Edit' button, which allows you to select any of your lists, and edit its information, or even delete it.
Underneath this bar you'll find all the lists you've created, as well as how many items on each list you have that have yet to be completed (indicated with a numerical badge).
Once you click on your desired list you'll see all of its associated items/tasks.
What's great about this set up is that everything is so organized and clearly delineated, making it even easier to manage.
One great feature of this application is that you can set prices for your items In the bottom right corner you'll see a running total of all your items, so you can make sure you can afford that whip cream or blouse your wife keeps nagging you about.
There are some other notable features, such as being able to edit any list you have. You can do this by clicking the tools button, which brings up another screen that allows you to edit details about the list such as its name, and also sync with your computer and the desktop version of SplashShopper, sort items on your list (for those long shopping lists), and more.
You can also add items in an easy fashion by using the 'Item Details' page to edit the details, price, and apply or remove tax and at what rate.
Another cool feature of this program is the ability to set custom icons for each list, making it easy to differentiate when you have a ton of different things to do. You can also check off items and delete them automatically as you get them.
Review
SplashShopper is like no other app I've come across. And I must say, when I learned that I was going to review it, I wasn't so hot on the idea. But once I got my copy, played with it, and added some lists, I must say, I am
thoroughly impressed.
The plethora of options is complemented by a sleek, easy to use interface, making it one of my favorite productivity applications. There are little or no features left wanting by this great app.
I didn't think I needed to be more organized, but now, I can't imagine life without my little SplashShopper.
Summary
If you need to get organized, or want to
stay organized, especially on the go, get SplashShopper. It won't let you down, or leave you wanting more. At $9.99 it's definitely well worth the price. The peace of mind that comes along with being well-organized makes it invaluable.
