Adding items to your list

Tap any item in the Catalog and it instantly jumps to your To Buy list. There's no confirmation step β€” just tap and it's there.

Tapping an item that's already in your To Buy list has no effect (it won't add a duplicate).

Searching the Catalog

The search bar at the top of the Catalog filters all items in real time as you type. You don't need to know which category something is in β€” just start typing and the results appear instantly.

⚑
Search is the fastest way to add items

If you know what you want, typing in the search bar is much faster than browsing categories. Two or three letters is usually enough.
