Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Forgetting to Sync the List
Reason: Multiple users need access to the same list, but only one person updates it, leading to inaccurate or incomplete lists.
Solution: Ensure all users have the app open and are connected to the internet for automatic syncing or manually sync the list regularly.
2. Misunderstanding Item Assignment
Reason: Users aren't clear about who's responsible for buying specific items, resulting in duplicate purchases or forgotten items.
Solution: Utilize the app's assignment features to clearly designate who will buy each item on the list.
3. Ignoring the 'Purchased' Feature
Reason: Users don't mark items as purchased, creating a cluttered and confusing list making it difficult to see what still needs buying.
Solution: Remember to mark items as purchased once they've been added to the shopping cart, helping you stay organized and efficient.
