Option to name color categories.

I'm with you. If we were able to name the colors, then they would be easier to remember and everything you have on your list that you want together would be that way. Also, it would be nice to have a few more colors so you could added a little more categories to your grocery lists. Thanks so much. Love the app.

I agree. To keep the list organised it's important to add the right categorie for each new produkt. But it is hard to remember colors and categories. So please let us ad some text to the colors (just a few lettres would already be a hugh help).

Also consider expanding this idea, I added a new item to here http://buymeapie.userecho.com/topic/359769-category-names-and-groups-in-item-list-and-custom-categories/ it would go along perfectly with this feature.

I also support the idea of adding text markers. It's more obvious to consolidate the goods in "Meat", "Vegetables" e.t.c. groups, than to guess that green means vegetables.

Absolutely, we organize by the store we typically shop at, so that colors are less important than the categories. Once we have categories, the colors will just be a nice visual to help us to remember. I'm curious about how many categories people have. There is probably a need for more categories than there are colors.

This is easy to solve, right now...
Create a New List, called Colours
Add 8 items to it, each one starting with the '=' character
e.g. =Fruit And Veg
Assign a colour to it, e.g Teal
And so on

Now, in any list, typing '=' brings up a handy reminder of what all the colours are for

I use, since my most-used Supermarket is organised roughly like this:
=Fruit And Veg (Teal)
=Fresh Meat Fish Pasta (Green)
=Dairy Eggs Juices (Pink)
=Baking Bread Cakes (Orange)
=Store Cupboard (Red)
=Household And Pets (Purple)
=Wine Beer Spirits (Blue)
=Personal (White/No Colour)

I agree with other responses. A nice idea but a work around to a feature that should be in the app. Humans aren't good at remembering which colours relate to a place or category. They need headings or a key.

Clever Phil, but definitely a work-around for a missing feature.

I love the simplicity of this app, but not having any explanation as to the intended categories and their default colors makes it hard to add new items that are not in the default library. I would like to use the built-in color conventions but I am presented with strange circles and patterns that don't mean anything to me as a new user.

What good does it do me to assign a color to a new item if I don't know what those colors are supposed to mean? It's basically making me pick a color at random. If you just had a list of what the developers intended the colors to mean, the user could work with that convention and stay organized.

Come on guys, finish what you started here.

How about adding a calculator so I don't have to jump from one screen to another?
And give us a place to add another color if we need it

If you have the PRO version there are almost limitless colours. I use it myself and there are far more colours than I am ever going to need.

I like this. However only if it's optional.

The very best would be both together:

- ability to re-order the colors, AND

- ability to give them a name.

Has this not been looked at for TWO YEARS?

Good Heavens! I'm new to Buy Me a Pie! - this request seems to be about the most reasonable thing to me!

I really wish this feature is implemented soon. With so many categories now in my catalogue it's now hard to keep up with what colour means what? I am still okay as I updated database myself, but my wife and kids do not know my colouring logic and they find it too cumbersome to remember it.

my grocery store just changed their layout, could really use this option!!!

Yes! I want to label my colors according to the layout of my store so when I'm in the produce department I can see everything there that's on my list. Plus, I forget what the colors mean, so having a label would really help me.
