What makes Privacy Friendly Shopping List different from other similar apps?

1. Minimal Permissions
Privacy Friendly Shopping List does not use any permission for its core functions. Only the camera permission is needed, so you can take a picture for a particular product. If this permission is denied (Android version higher than 6), the feature will not be available. All other features will be at your disposition.

2. Full control over your data
All saved data in the statistics can be deleted permanently with just a few clicks. All this data lives only inside Privacy Friendly Shopping List and can not be accessed from outside.

3. Sharing of list or product data without access of the phone contacts.

4. No advertisement
Privacy Friendly Shopping List completely relinquishes advertisement.

Ratings and reviews

It needs work. Some things are sold by weight, but I cannot enter weight in Qty. only whole numbers. If I reuse the shopping list each week, I want to hide the products I am not buying this week, and show them again when I need to buy again. When I tap the checkbox the product is added to the statistics, but when statistic total is greater than receipt total, no way to correct the statistic, only delete all! No way to see which one checked twice by mistake. Please no case sensitive sorting!

I use it all the time. Would be nice, however, to be able to save some lists to another folder on my phone that I keep synchronized with my local NAS so I could have a few lists privately shared with my wife's phone.

simple, efficient, and more importantly focus on respecting privacy
