ListEat offers a quick, convenient, easy and reliable way for users to simplify their grocery shopping and everyday cooking. The application allows users to create their shopping list, choose their favorite recipes and then build personalized meal plans. Then, the application instantly populates their grocery list with what is included in the users’ meal plan. As a first step, the user needs to create and name a shopping list. Then, they can start populating it right away, selecting from our predefined set of items, or using free text. The application allows the user to create multiple lists to better manage their shopping for different occasions. The lists are automatically stored on the cloud and the user can access them 24/7 and has the option to share them with their family and friends.
Apart from populating the list, the user can choose recipes from the application’s recipe library or add their own recipes and the application can instantly break down the ingredients of those recipes to their shopping list. The application automatically adjusts the ingredients portions according to the users’ needs and references, i.e., the number of people the user cooks for, while it points out the users’ allergies and dislikes in both the recipes and in the shopping list.
Using the application’s recipes advanced filtering, the user has the option to build their personalized weekly plan according to their needs. Again, the application instantly breaks down the weekly meal plans to the users’ daily schedule and into their shopping list.
The ListEat application offers a solution to several potential problems faced while organizing the weekly grocery shopping. It provides answers to the non-standardized list format (paper, note applications, generic shopping list applications, etc.), memory issues (items left out of the list), unnecessary purchases and lack of reminder mechanisms (knowing when a product is running out).
The ListEat application promises continuous access to the users’ shopping lists, sharing them with their family and flat mates and access to a library of exciting recipes. Moreover, it automatically breaks recipes into the users’ shopping lists, while also allowing them to add and save their own recipes and thus, create their digital cookbook. Finally, the application allows users to create their personalized weekly meal planning using either the in-app recipes or their own.
