Walk the aisles with the in-store checklist
Use the MagicMeals in-store checklist: big tap targets, items grouped by aisle, a keep-screen-on switch, sharing, and checks that save even with no signal.
In short
- ✦On List, tap Shop in store for a big, easy-to-tap checklist grouped by aisle.
- ✦Tap an item as it goes in your cart. It moves to In your cart and the progress bar fills up.
- ✦Tick Keep screen on so your phone doesn't lock mid-aisle.
- ✦No signal? Keep tapping. Checks save on your phone and sync when you're back online.
Built for one hand and a cart
Items are large and sorted in the order most stores are laid out: produce, meat and seafood, dairy and eggs, bakery, pantry, spices, frozen, drinks. Pantry staples sit in Check your pantry first at the end, so you can look at home before you leave.
Spotty signal
Stores are often dead zones. Every tap is saved on your phone first, and a note shows how many changes will save when you have signal. They sync on their own when you reconnect, or the next time you open the checklist.
Tip: When everything's in your cart you'll see Everything's in your cart. Tap Done shopping, then Clear checked back on the list.
Questions
Does the MagicMeals shopping list work offline?
Yes. In Shop in store, checking items off works without signal. Changes are saved on your phone and sync automatically when you're back online.
How do I stop my phone screen locking while I shop?
In Shop in store, tick Keep screen on at the top. Your phone stays awake while the checklist is open.
