Frequently asked questions

Here you will find the answers to frequently asked questions.

How do I synchronize my list with different devices?

To share your list with different devices, you need to register within Pantrist and login to both devices with the same account. More information can be found at the section  How do I sign up to Pantrist?

    How do I sign up to Pantrist?

    Logging in to Pantrist has the advantage that data is stored and cannot be lost. In addition, functions such as inviting other users to join your list are only activated after logging in  

    1. Expand side menu
    2. Click on "Login / Register" at the top of the side menu
    3. If no account exists yet, click on "Register now!" or on "Continue with Google" or "Continue with Facebook" and follow the corresponding steps
    4. If you have an account, enter the data and click on "Login"
    How can I back up my data?

    If you are logged in, your data is automatically backed up to a database. If you are not logged in, the data is only stored on your device and will be deleted when the app is deleted. To back up your data, you can create a JSON file via the list settings and save it to a cloud of your choice, for example. If you want to reload the exact state of the list, you can load the file again in the same place of the settings. Of course, you can also do this if you are logged in and your data is backed up via the database. How you can open the settings of a list can be found at the point  How do I rename a list?

      How can I manage multiple lists?

      In the side menu you will always see your currently selected list. By clicking on the list name you can select another list. You can also see all your lists at a glance via the "Settings". There you just have to follow the link "Manage lists".  

        What is the difference between quantity and amount for items?

        The quantity of an item is seen as the content of a product. This can be specified in for a specific unit. On the other hand, the amount of an item is defined by the count of a product. The amount of an item is also used to control the minimum stock level. You can learn more about the minimum stock under  How do I ensure my supplies are maintained with a minimum amount?

          How can I transfer my data to a new phone?

          The easiest way to do this is to create an account with Pantrist. Then your data will be saved on your account and transferred to the new phone. Alternatively, you can create a backup and import it to the new phone. How to create a backup can be found at the following link  How can I back up my data?

            Can I edit the same shopping list or stock list with several people?

            To manage a list with multiple people, they must first create their own account with Pantrist. You can then invite them to join your list. You can find more about this under  How do I add a user to my list or share my list?

              How can I access the list on the PC or laptop

              Pantrist is also available as a web app. There you can log in with the same account as on your device and manage your purchases and supplies as you know them. Go here for the web app.  

                Can I disable the advertising?

                Yes, you can disable the ads via a premium subscription. Besides disabling advertising, the subscription has other advantages, which you can see in the following link  What additional features do I have with the Premium subscription?

                  How do I add items to the shopping or pantry list?

                  Items can be added directly on the home page, or on the corresponding subpage (shopping silks or panry list). To add an item you have to press the "+" button.

                    To change an item, you must first open the item by clicking on it. In the item details you can edit any data. To save, you can use the button at the bottom of the page, or click on the disk in the upper right corner.  

                      How do I transfer purchased items to the stock list?

                      There are several ways to transfer items. The easiest way is to open the item and click on "Move to pantries".Another way is, if the separate list is used to manage the purchased items (see Configuration), to swipe to the right on the item in the overview. Then the item will be transferred to the list of purchased items. The list can be opened via the shopping cart in the bottom left corner. There, the item can be simply moved to the stock list. If the purchased items list is disabled, a swipe to the right will either delete the item or move it immediately. This can also be configured.  

                        How do I add items from my stock to the shopping list?

                        First, any number of the items can be added to the shopping list using the "Add to shopping list" button in the item details. This can also be done automatically by reducing the stock and using the minimum stock level. You can find more about the minimum amount in  How do I ensure my supplies are maintained with a minimum amount?

                                  How do I ensure my supplies are maintained with a minimum amount?

                                  The receipt of stocks is set for each item itself. This ensures that the item is automatically added to the shopping list when the available quantity falls below the set value. Thus it can not be forgotten to refill the stocks.  

                                  1. Navigate to the "Pantry List"
                                  2. Click on the item that should be permanently in stock

                                    Premium subscription

                                    Why don't you offer a one-time payment?

                                    Pantrist causes monthly costs for us, which have to be covered by the revenues. With a one-time payment, there is a risk that these costs cannot be covered any further. The premium subscription is also intended more as a way to support the Pantrist project. We try to make as few functions as possible dependent on it and only do so for functions that cause relatively high costs (such as uploading your own images).  

                                      What additional features do I have with the Premium subscription?

                                      The Premium subscription is used to support Pantrist and unlocks some features which cost us more than the usual features. The following features are included  

                                      1. No advertisement
                                      2. More than two lists at the same time
                                      3. Custom photos for items and supermarkets
                                      Where can I buy the Premium version?

                                      You can find the page to buy the premium version directly in the side menu.  

                                        How many Premium versions do I need to buy if I have multiple devices?

                                        Your subscription is always related to your account at Pantrist. That means, if you have multiple devices with the same account, the normal single license is sufficient. If you also want to give Premium to your family via your own account, you can do this via the license for two or five users.  

                                          List management

                                          How do I add a user to my list or share my list?

                                          The function to invite users to your list is only activated after a registration. You can find more about this in the section  How do I sign up to Pantrist?

                                          1. In the side menu, click on "Edit list" next under the list name
                                          2. Under the item "Authorized users" click on "Add user to list"
                                          3. Select permissions for the user to be invited (a "User" can use the list normally, an "Admin" can additionally manage the users)
                                          4. Click on "Invite user" and share the text through any platform
                                          5. The invited user must now click on the link and open the app
                                          6. A popup opens where the synchronization must be confirmed
                                          Why is my list empty after login?

                                          After registration and login in on multiple devices, you may encounter this error. When logging in on a device, you will be asked if you want the list stored locally on the device to be associated with your account. If this is answered in the affirmative it can happen that on both devices the new (probably empty) list is selected as default list. The list must then be changed back to the old list or the new (empty) list must be deleted. This can be changed via the list element in the side menu under the profile.
