Aisle 1Filed as you type
Type free range eggs
and it goes under Dairy & Eggs. Type 2 x 400g tins chopped tomatoes
and it goes under Tins & Jars, with the amount kept to one side.
Fodo knows about a thousand everyday UK groceries by name. The aisles come in the order you walk them, and you can rename them, reorder them or add your own.
If it isn’t sure where something goes, it puts it under Other. That’s one drag to fix, where a confident wrong guess would cost you a hunt round the shop.
Aisle 2Move it once
Put something in a different aisle and Fodo remembers it from then on. If your shop keeps tahini by the hummus rather than with the jars, move it to Chilled & Deli once and it goes there every time.
Capitals, amounts and plurals don’t count, so Bananas
, 3 bananas
and bananas
are the same thing, and you only need to move it once.
Aisle 3Recipes onto the list
Keep your recipes with their ingredients and method. Paste in a block of ingredients from anywhere and Fodo splits each line into an amount and a name.
Add a recipe to the list at whatever size you’re cooking: serving six instead of four scales every amount, and anything like to taste
is left as it is. Each ingredient still goes to its proper aisle.
While a recipe is open, the screen stays on, so it’s still there when you look up from the pan.
Aisle 4Shop together
Share one list and your recipes with someone else, whether they have an iPhone or an Android phone. Tick something off in the shop and it’s ticked off on theirs.
Send them an invite link and they’re in. There are no accounts or passwords.
Each of you keeps your own aisle order and your own lessons, because you probably walk round different shops.
