New wish list app enters beta test

fromto-app-coordinates-gift-shopping

We’re now starting out the beta test of Fromto – a sibling app to Grosh. It focuses on gift shopping – so we hope Christmas is a good time for the app to get a lot of exercise! It’s based on Grosh, so you don’t have to worry about stability and uptime 🙂 Hope you’ll jump aboard!

Why we made Fromto

Most wish list apps make it easy to enter wishes and share them. The real issue, however, is not sharing your wish list. You could do that using pen and paper just as well. Where Fromto wants to make a difference is in helping friends and family to coordinate gift shopping.

How do we go about it?

We’ve made a landing page that explains how the Fromto app works called http://fromtoapp.com

How it differs from Grosh

If you know Grosh, you’ll see the app is quite similar – but it’s slimmed down and only focuses on gift shopping, so there’s some key differences. Here’s a run down for all of you Grosh users:

Only one list per user – and that’s created upon signup – or when starting to use the app as a Grosh user – that list is of course of type wish list.
You’ve got full rights to the list including taking photos (there’s no premium version of Fromto)
There are no categories in the app, instead the items are grouped in a “being drafted” group and then by recipient name after that has been assigned.
There are no store tags shown in the list, instead you’ll see the responsible person to the right of an item. Just as you can tap a store to filter the list, you can do the same by tapping the persons name.
You can edit a wish as much as you want, but when assigning the To field, you’re indicating it’s ready to be fulfilled by someone you shared the list with.
You can actually continue editing, but once someone has “taken” the wish and set From, the wish is locked for further editing.

Fromto is very much integrated with Grosh – you can reuse your account credentials – and you can see your wish lists from Grosh in Fromto and vice versa.
