(Archived) newbie question

[kc2hwb 1]

Sorry if this has already been asked and answered. I am off to bed and hope to read answers tomorrow.

Now onto the question. Actually 2 questions.

First....I have a "grocery shoping list" created. I placed check boxes next to the various items. I would like to "share" or send it to my wife so she would be able to check what needs to be bought. Then all I would need to do is goto the grocery store, open up my smartphone with evernote and the boxes she checked should be there. My question is, how do I do this? Everytime I try and share it with her either via email or a web link, it is just plain text and she can not check any boxes.

Once my first question is answered, then it brings on my second question.

I would like to be able to have a category, for example, "cereal" with a check box next to it. I would also like to have a spot (dialog text box) next to it where the person filling out the list (my wife) could type in the name of the cereal. Then it would show up on my smartphone when I am shopping. Is this even possible?

Thanks for any help.

Hi! Welcome to the forums.

There are two solutions to what I see as one problem: how do you collaborate on a task?

(1) Use the same account. I suppose it depends on where your privacy boundaries are

(2) One of you becomes a premium member, shares a notebook, and permits modifications to be made to it.

Good luck shopping!

Or you could use an app designed for grocery shopping with a built-in food database.

I use Grocery Gadget and talk to my wife about items that need to be added.

Grumpy thanks. I figured it had to do with premium Access.

JBenson. I understand your suggestions, but many of the other programs you speak of don't seem to be exactly what I am looking for. I don't want a huge grocery database I only wanted to show common items my house hold uses. I have not tried grocery gadget. I will definitely look at it.

I still need to know if there is a way to insert a text dialog box. Thanks again guys

You are welcome!

Text dialog box? If you share the note, she can write on it just like you can.

Grumpy, I suppose I could give her access, but I was trying to avoid that. Not that I don't trust her, but I am worried she might really mess up my list if I gave her access. I am trying to keep this as simple as possible for her to use.

Jbenson, another thing I should have mentioned. The reason most of the other apps that have a huge database dont work is because I like to sort it to match the order in which the items are arranged in my grocery store. I did quickly glance at Grocery Gadget and it does appear promising.

Yes, Grocery Gadget allows you to shop and store the sequence of items as you walk up and down the aisles. I use it on my ancient iPod Touch and it seems quite responsive. It can be sync'd to your home computer as well.

Hey i had similar problem.

I have tried to use 2 separate applications in the past.

One is egretlist

http://blog.evernote.com/2010/05/26/egretlist-a-great-to-do-list-app-powered-by-evernote/

the other awesome note

https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/awesome-note-+to-do-calendar/id320203391?mt=8

https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/awesome-note-hd-+to-do-calendar/id406750496?mt=8

I love awesome note - its total visual replacement for evernote + some added bonuses like calendar using evernote notes

probably too much for your need but what you can do is to setup a new notebook "aNote grocery" ( all notebooks inside evernote with suffix aNote will be visible in awesomenote other notebooks will not be visible so you can restrict awesomenote user to what they can see and do.

It has great to-do management

it has beaut interface with coloured folders and customisable icons ( HELLO EVERNOTE PEOPLE ARE YOU LISTENING TO THIS coloured folders, customisable, practical to do lists, calendar, just rip it off E is better but lacking in features )

P.S.

disgruntled premium user since 5.x.x.

Evernote People: if you're listening, please, please, please, never make Evernote look like Awesome Note. It has to be the most godawful mishmash of colors and geegaws I've ever seen in an app. I'm willing to consider that it might be a useful app but, as it's too painful to look at, I've never really explored it.

Thank you.
