Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The popular iPhone app Shopper by mobile application developers ReachEverywhere has some new functionality added to it.
The shopping assistant can now directly deliver warnings and recalls issued by the US Food and Drug Administration into its interface. If an item is added to a shopping list and is associated with a recall, a proprietary keyword-matching technology automatically shows warning information for that product.
Shopping apps are some of the most popular programs available because of their customizable shopping lists and other varied features. Some of the best ones include Grocery Gadget List, Splash Shopper, and ShopShop, according to Macworld. The new feature added to Shopper, however, is the first of its kind and is the first of a series of upgrades planned for the app, according to ReachEverywhere.
Other features of the app include:
-Real-time list syncing between household members and friends
-Building multiple lists for multiple stores and purposes
-Managing pricing, photos, or coupon information for any item on a store-by-store basis
-Nutritional ratings for grocery items from the Guiding Stars program
-Easy management of individual aisle order/layout and pricing of different grocery stores; personalized circulars of over 100 retail outlets.
The application costs $0.99.
