How to create, edit and delete a custom category

To create a custom category, on your phone go to Settings → Manage categories → Add category, and in the browser click the category icon next to an item, then Create new category. You can change or delete your categories from the menu next to each category in My categories.

Create a custom category

A custom category is handy for things that don’t fit the general categories, for example shopping for the garden or the dog. All you need is a name: the icon is optional, and if you don’t choose one, Listonic marks the category with the first letter of its name.
