PleasePickUp! for PC

Hi, I’m Tim Clover and I created PleasePickUp, a new grocery list app for your android phone that’s simply better. PleasePickUp shows my partner a list of grocery items and lets them select the items we need to buy. When they are finished and wants to send me to the store, one tap will email a checklist sorted by grocery department to make my job easier.

Easy does it – many grocery items all set up for you!

PleasePickUp! installs into your phone with a basic set of grocery items arranged by department. Each department has a thumbnail picture in the scrolling Grocery Departments menu. Just tap the department to show the items in the Grocery items area. To order an item, tap the green target at the left border to show a blue checked heart. To increase the quantity ordered, tap the little plus near the right edge of each item. To cancel an item, tap the blue heart to show the green target.

Get ready: create an email list of recipients

Tap Settings, the “hamburger” icon at App’s top left and enter the name of your recipient. Then enter their email address below and tap Save. To add a new recipient tap New and repeat the process. If you need to change an email address or made a mistake, just select the name in the list, make your changes and tap Save.

Go! Set the View and Send!

When you’re ready to send your first order to your PleasePickUp! pal you’ll need to set the view to include the items you want in your order. The view is simply all the items listed in grocery items area. The view can be easily changed by tapping the View dropdown.
The choices are:
• View only items in Department
• View all except specialty stores
• View all.
To send the order, tap Order (shopping cart). The send message popup previews the checklist ready to send. Take a look at the message settings at the top. Under subject you will see the email subject that will be included in your message: “PleasePickUp! Message from:”. You’ll probably need to add your name after the colon or feel free to change the message altogether! Under To: you’ll see the name of the first recipient on your email list and their email address. To change recipients, tap the dropdown and pick a another recipient . To send the message tap Send (Gmail icon). Your phone will ask you which email app to use, select Gmail or your favorite and tap the app’s send icon. PleasePickUp! puts a simple text list of your order into the body of the message and attaches an HTML checklist of your ordered items ready to use in the store shown by department!

Message Formatting

The checklist you send can be formatted in several colors by tapping the Border Color dropdown or you can choose plain black and white by switching the Message Format switch from fancy to plain.
