Shared Buy List

Before making HomeOjO, my dad made this app called Shared Buy List. Family members can even share this app on smart phones, tablets, and PCs. It's even in the App Store. At first, my dad made the app free, but because he felt that a lot of people bought the app, he increased the price to $4.99. For people who pay it for the app, he told me that the money was for my college tuition.

The reason why he made it was because he wanted a visual shopping list because it's possible to forget a handwritten shopping list when going out to buy food. Some people don't even know or are unable to read or write English. For example, people from a country who can't speak English can still know what the picture is. Also, there are people in physical therapy, so they are unable to read or write. You don't need to write or type words, you just swipe the item you want to buy on the digital shopping list. If an item you want to buy is not there, you can just take a picture of it.

Another customer is that a teacher in an African village teaching students who can't read or write English, but they still can swipe items on to Shared Buy List.

I even made a video about it on Youtube:




The video is what Shared Buy List is about and how to use it.

Also, the Shared Buy List website is http://sharedbuylist.com/
