Getting Started

The free plan includes one list. If you already have one, the + on the Lists screen opens the Nabble Premium screen (see Free and Premium).

1. On the Lists screen, tap + in the top-right corner.
2. Enter a name, such as “Grocery Run” or “Project Shopping List”.
3. Optionally choose a Store. A linked store sorts the list in that store’s aisle order and lets Nabble remind you when you are nearby. Tap Add New Store… if the store isn’t in the list yet.
4. Turn on Private if you don’t want family members to see this list (Family Sharing is a Premium feature).
5. Tap Create.

Open a list and tap + in the top-right corner (next to Edit), then choose a method:

• Add Item: type the name.
• Search Products: search by product name, brand, or UPC.
• Scan Barcode: scan a product’s barcode with your camera.
• Your History: pick items you have bought before.

A new, empty list shows a short tip that rates the methods: Add Item (Good), Search Products (Better), Scan Barcode (Best), Your History (Best).

1. Tap + → Add Item.
2. Type the item name.
3. Within a few seconds, Nabble suggests a category, shown as Suggested: [category] under Category. Tap the suggestion to accept it, or tap Category to pick another.
4. Under Amount, choose Quantity or Measured (see below).
5. Add a Note if you need one, such as “get the organic one”.
6. Tap Add.

If the item is already on the list, Nabble asks what to do: Update Quantity or Add Anyway.

1. Tap + → Search Products.
2. Type a product name, brand, or UPC, then tap Return on the keyboard.
3. Each result shows a picture (when one is available), the name, the brand, the package size, and a suggested category.
4. Tap a result. The Add Item form opens already filled in with the brand and product name, the category, and the package size in the Note field.
5. Adjust the amount or note, then tap Add.

1. Tap + → Scan Barcode and allow camera access when asked.
2. Point the camera at the barcode. Nabble reads it automatically.
3. If the product is found, you see its details. Tap Add to List, or Scan Again to scan something else.
4. If the product isn’t found, Nabble shows “Product not found” with the barcode number. Tap Try Again, or Cancel and add the item by typing or with Search Products.

Low light: tap the flashlight icon at the top left of the scanner. It turns yellow while the torch is on.

Scan Multiple: tap Scan Multiple at the top right to keep the scanner open between scans.

1. Tap + → Your History.
2. Items you have bought before are grouped by category. By default you see items from the store linked to this list (Only [store]). Tap All History at the top to see everything.
3. Tap the circle next to one or more items, then tap Add [N] Items at the top right.
4. Nabble reuses the quantity from your last purchase and reminds you to check that it is still right.

Use the search bar to find an item in a long history. Items you hid in Settings → Suggestions do not appear here. Free accounts show the last 30 days of history.

Tap Edit at the top right of a list to change it. The title changes to “Editing [list name]” and Edit becomes Done. In Edit mode you can:

• Tap an item to change its name, category, amount, or note, or choose Move to Another List….
• Swipe an item to the right to Save for Later, or to the left to Move or Delete it. Saved items wait in a “Saved for Later” section.
• Tap the pencil next to the list name to rename the list, change its store, turn Private on or off, or Delete List.
• Use Suggested Items at the bottom: up to ten things you bought before at this list’s store that aren’t on the list now, most often bought first. Tap one to add it. The section appears only when Nabble has something to suggest, and it does not appear outside Edit mode.

Tap Done when you finish. (The + button and Shop This List return when you leave Edit mode.)
