Fixes:

• New Shopping Lists.
  If you create a new shopping list and new item, the app would crash. If  you added an item to an existing shopping list that you had previously used for shopping, everything was ok. The crash occured if no previous shopping plans existed.
• Cut, copy, & paste.
  Selecting Cut, Copy & Paste from the edit menu would cause the app to crash.

New Features:

• Apple Watch Performance.
  Viewing a list on the watch now occur almost immediately when you select the list. In the prior release it could take a few seconds for the list to be displayed. The engine used to sync the phone to the watch has also been improved.

Fixes:

• Shared Shopping Lists.
  If you and a friend were sharing a shopping list and each of you independently created a shopping plan, after syncing only the last plan created would be visible; the first plan would be hidden until you finished shopping then it would reappear. Now, ShopIt detects multiple active shopping plans and merges them after a sync.
• Item Order.
  Sometimes the item order in a list would not be handled correctly; this was fixed in this release.

New Features:

• Apple Watch Support.
  When you install ShopIt on your Apple Watch, your phone synchronizes your shopping and to-do lists with your watch making shopping even easier. You can leave your phone in your pocket and breeze through the store checking off items as they go in your cart. ShopIt hides checked items so at a glance you can see what’s next to buy.
• Shopping List Cart Count.
  The main shopping lists scene shows a shopping bag with the number of items planned for purchase. This feature, at a glance, lets you see what lists have unpurchased items.
• Default To Do Category.
  The default category for to-do items is now ‘Miscellaneous’; which makes more sense than ‘Somewhere’.

Fixes:

• Long Item Names.
  Long item names are handled better when you turn the phone to landscape mode and on wide screen displays like the iPad.
• Empty Lists.
  If you manually uncheck all the items from a shopping plan, the app would leave the shopping cart tool bar button visible; using Edit and Clear all ✔️ would clear the cart button. Now when you uncheck the last item, the cart button disappears as expected.

New Features:

• To Do Lists.
  Everyone loves adding tasks to someone else’s to-do list. ShopIt expands it’s strength in list sharing by providing To-Do Lists. Now you can create that ‘honey do list’ and share it with a special someone, create as many task lists for others or personal task lists to organize your to-do’s. ShopIt notifications make it easy to keep abreast of new and changing tasks and progress on assignments you have delegated.
• New Interface.
  This latest version includes a streamlined interface that shows list items as soon as the list is selected and provides toolbar buttons for secondary features. There are now buttons for shopping, managing categories, sharing lists, and viewing shopping history.
• Wish List Improvements.
  Previously, shared wishlists were displayed with the owner’s full name as well as the list name. Now the app displays just the owner’s first name (if it is unique) and the list name.
  In version 1.4, you had to select a wish item to see if a friend had already purchased it. Now wish items are grayed out if the item has been purchased.
• Editing improvements.
  The Edit menu button now brings up a dialogue box letting you select between delete and reorder items, cut/copy/paste items, select all items, or clear all checkmarks.
  Cut, copy, & paste has been expanded to work for all types of lists. You can even copy and paste items from different list types.

Fixes:

• Fixed a crash when syncing included a list type not supported by current version.
• Fixed crash if trying to email a sharing invite without first creating the invitation. Now ShopIt automatically creates sharing invite if you tap the sharing button without creating an invite.
• Fixed a bug where a wish item posted by another app wasn’t displayed when you finished editing a different item and returned to the wishlist.
• If an item name was extremely long, it would be displayed, but in a font too small to read. Now long names are handled more intelligently.

New Features

• Posting items to your wishlists.
  ShopIt now allows you to add items to your wishlists from other apps. You can browse your favorite shopping sites using Safari and when you see an item you like, tap the app’s share button to bring up the ShopIt sharing extension. From the extension, you can choose to post the item to an existing wishlist or create a new list and save it there. After you post the item, you’re still at the site to keep shopping and posting more items. When you launch ShopIt all your items will be on your wishlists. You can post items from from any app that shares web links using their share button.
• How-To video.
  There’s now a How-To video showing the shopping list features of ShopIt. To view the video tap the ? button (About) on the top screen, then select Help on the About screen. The link to the video is at the bottom of the page. The video explains the app basics and demonstrates some advanced features like how to cross an item off your shopping list because it was out of stock or you changed your mind about purchasing it. The video shows how to share a list with family and friends.
• Minor enhancements and bug fixes.

Bug Fixes

•  Unregistered users could accept a sharing invitation, resulting in the RSVP being taken but the user couldn’t access the list.

• If you had a long name for a wishlist item, the app would fit the name on the screen, but in a font so small you couldn’t read it. Now on the items scene it truncates long names with …

• If you tapped the + button to add a new wish item, the app would bring up the new shopping item scene instead.
