Using Items & Lists

How do I check items off?

In an open list you simply tap an item — tapping again undoes it. A swipe from left to right does exactly the same: both are one and the same action, so take whichever you prefer. And if you swipe an item to the left and tap „More“, you'll find that same action there again — it is called „Mark as bought“ there.

If you don’t want to check things off by accident while scrolling, you can turn tapping off: in the app settings (profile icon at the top right of the overview) under „Check off items“ → „Swipe only“. Then you check an item off with a swipe from left to right and undo it the same way; a tap changes nothing — the row hints at the swipe direction instead.

Checked items stay on the list, struck through, instead of vanishing at once — that way you keep track while shopping and don't put anything in the trolley twice.

At the end of the trip: clean up

As soon as something is checked off, the blue „Clean up“ pill appears at the bottom of the list. One tap and everything checked off is gone from the list.

That is exactly the point: at the end of a shopping trip your list should be empty. In pon your shopping list is not an inventory, only what is due on the next trip — the emptier it is afterwards, the more clearly it shows you next time what is actually missing.

Nothing is lost in the process. Your products stay in the catalog, along with everything pon has learned about quantity, store and buying rhythm. That is why the next trip is put together in seconds: „+“ at the bottom, „Select“ at the top, tap the usual products, „Add“.
