A shopping list on your cell phone is not overly "geeky" and "nerdy"? Perhaps, but I must say that GottaGet for iPhone is damn handy. Especially because I saw that light I have all sorts of scraps of writing what was, but also scraps invariably lost or at the supreme moment forgot to bring. And my phone, which I shall never forget. In addition I have a handy checklist of messages that I regularly need. Oh ja, de ketchup is op! Oh yes, the ketchup is on!

GottaGet is a simple application: you enter your messages once and can then continue to use. What you need to get check in with a little with the finger ( "Get it"), you missed the message then tap on 'Got it'.  Or you knew at once your whole shopping list.The application offers the possibility of numbers, units (bag, box, can) and a self-selected to each item. Use a dot: Create categories for corridors or areas in your favorite store. Number them according to the usual route through the store. (See also the message on the shopping map on this website.) In my supermarket to get past the first section of vegetables and fruit. In my list is so'01 Vegetables and Fruit '. That 01 is necessary because the program categories in alphabetical order without number sets.

In practice a shopping list that I have 95% of what I do remember commitments. Often, it means that I only just before the checkout even see my iPhone. Scheelde me that so far several times an extra trip to the supermarket. Hooray!

Finally GottaGet also offers the possibility to list your e-mail, for example your partner or yourself, if you still like to make a PCB.   Check out the article in its original Dutch here!
