The short answer

Your family plans in one place

The problem

Shopping requests arrive in different messages. In the shop it can be unclear how much is needed or what is already in the trolley.

How Best4Family helps

Shopping opens the selected family’s shared main list. Items can have quantities, units, categories and notes. Tick off completed items to keep the progress visible.

How it works

  1. 01

    Open Shopping

    Tap the shopping basket in the bottom navigation. Check the shared list for the selected family.

  2. 02

    Add an item and amount

    Tap the plus to add an item. Enter its name and a quantity with a suitable unit, such as six pieces for apples.

  3. 03

    Use categories and notes

    Choose a suitable category and add a note when helpful, such as For the lunch boxes. Save the item to the shared list.

  4. 04

If something looks wrong

An item appears in the wrong group.
