How do the Popular, Catalog and Recent suggestions work?

When you tap + Add on a list, you can pick items from three tabs instead of typing: Popular shows items that Listonic users add often, Catalog lets you browse items by category, and Recent is your own history of added items. As soon as you start typing, matching suggestions appear above the tabs.

The Popular tab  lists the items that most often end up on all Listonic users’ lists. It doesn’t adapt to what you buy, so items you add every week won’t move to the top here. You’ll find your own items in the Recent tab.

Catalog

Catalog  is handy when you’d rather browse than type, for example when planning a bigger shop. Items are grouped into categories and subcategories: open the right category and tap an item to add it to your list.

Recent

The Recent tab  is your history of added items, including items with your own names. It’s the quickest way to add something you buy regularly again. A new name may only appear here after you restart the app.

If a typo was saved in your history, you can remove it:

Step by step3 steps
  1. Open your list, tap + Add and go to the Recent tab .
  2. Tap Edit.
  3. Tap the trash icon  next to the name you want to remove.

What happens when you tap a suggestion

In the Popular and Recent tabs, tapping an item works differently depending on whether it’s already on your list:

  • The item isn’t on your list: it’s added.
  • The item is on your list, still to buy: its quantity goes up.
  • The item is on your list as bought: it moves back to the items to buy.
