Total Plus-Shopping Calculator 4+

I haven’t been able to use the app yet, I will change my star review after. ———I just want to make a suggestion. Add an editable field on the TAX RATE. I’m in Georgia, and the tax on food is 4%. But the app says 7% and there’s no way to change it. For now I have had to use Hawaii, as that is the closest to the percentage I need. ———-(PS, I read through a lot of the comments and love how you have been taking for use your feedback to improve your product. It’s very heartening to see that! Many of the things people ask for are things that I would’ve asked for. It’s a shame scanning is problematic, but the reasons you stated make perfect sense. ———I think if you implemented a SCANNER such as you can get with ‘my fitness pal’, MFP, you could let people scan the item itself, which would auto-populate the name and details of the product, but the user could add in the price at the store they are at) Thanks! :) EDIT: typo:On the rename list screen, the rename button is misspelled. 2nd EDIT: played around with app, it is DOPE. Love it!

First of all thank you very much for your comments, I really appreciate it! The issue with the tax rates could be resolved by adding a couple of custom tax rates, one for food, in your case 4%, and another one for the other items. Remember, you can add as many custom tax rates as you need and change between them before adding your items to your cart or to a list. I hope it makes sense. I agree, the scanning feature would be awesome. Thank you for pointing out about the typo, I will fix it in the next release. Again, thank you very much for your feedback. Enjoy!

I downloaded this app a couple of years ago, but never used it because I thought it would be fiddly trying to use it while shopping for groceries. Well this past Friday, I decided to finally use it, and it worked really well. Was easy to use. Only advice I would give is don’t keep the calculator up on your phone once you enter an items price on the calculator. Because when I was shopping, I kept accidentally hitting my phone. causing numbers to come up on the calculator. It didn’t add to my total. I could erase it. You can keep the app open and active just don’t have it on your main screen except when you’re needing to enter in prices. Not apps fault, my fault lol.

Great app.

Thank you.

Thank you very much for your comments, I really appreciate it.

I think the app has great potential and the first (and only) time it calculated my total to within a dollar of what it really was (we have two tax rates for different types of items and I haven't figured out which rate goes with which item yet so I used the recommended tax rate for my state).

BUT I'm not able to save individual items with their prices. The reusable items list doesn't give me a place to manually add and save a price. when I add an item to my cart from the list, I have to take an extra step and update the price, and it still doesn't show in the total price. So does that mean I'll have to type in an add each item and price every time I get groceries?

The saved list tab works, but I don't buy exactly the same items every week. It'd be nice to be able to build a database of all the items I've bought with their prices and then click-to-add them to my cart. Otherwise the app is too tedious to use and I won't be buying the upgraded version.

Hi, thank you for your comments. I understand you would like to be able to save individual items with their prices but the idea is that an item can be reused within stores where the price may vary, in fact, price changes all the time even if you shop only in one store. But it's not a bad idea, maybe I will add an optional field for price. Now, as far as the cost of an item not showing the total price, please make sure you are entering the price and quantity otherwise it will not be calculated, again the idea here is that people may buy different quantities of certain items. I apologize if the app doesn't do exactly what you were expecting. Thanks. EDIT 12/18/2017: The ability to reuse price and quantities have been added in Version 5.0.6.
