In Grosh, you can assign a category to an item on your list. This will group the items on your list, and this is good as items in the same category is normally located close to each other in the store. Based on past purchases in a store, Grosh will sort the categories such that you will see the list ordered according to how most people shop items in the store – clever!

Grosh comes pre-populated with 20 categories, but you may add your own. If many users add the same category, it will be added to the global list of categories for the language. If you think the list of categories has a category you will never need, then you may hide it by going to Settings – Categories and swipe the category in question.

 

If the app does not start in a normal fashion (show splash screen, then either login screen or your shopping list), it is an indication that your app installation is corrupt. This should normally not happen, but if it happens please uninstall the app and install it again from Appstore or Google Play. Don’t worry about your data, it is all backed up to our servers and will come back once you’ve logged in again.

There could be 2 reasons

1. The entered email is in fact not the one tied to your account. If you’ve shared a list with someone, ask them to tap “Share list” and then tap your name. On the details screen that appears, you can see the email we have for you in the system. If you spot a spelling error in your email, please contact support using the Send message button on our home page and describe the situation, then we can help you.
2. The entered password is in fact not the one tied to your account. Tap the “Forgot password” button on the logon screen and request to get a reset password link from Grosh. The email should arrive within a minute or so. If this does not happen, look in your spam and commercial folders, especially Outlook has a habit of putting it there. If no mail arrives, it is an indication that the entered email is wrong, see no 1 above.

Under Settings tap the person icon to the left of your name to start the camera and take picture for your profile in Grosh. This will be visible when you share recipes.

You can scan a barcode to add an item to the list. The app crowdsources product information, the barcode might be unknown to the system. If so, please help yourself and other users by entering the item name and brand. This includes entering the product name and as a minimum the brand, as barcodes are unique to each and every brand of a particular product, like corn flakes.

If several product sizes exist for the brand, you should also include the package size and unit, e.g. corn flakes might have brand “Kellogg’s” and package size 750 g.

You can use bar codes with the various list types e.g. wish list, stock list or shopping list.
