About this app

We’ve all encountered the problem of returning from a shopping trip to hear someone say...

“You went to the store and didn’t tell me? I wish I had known - I needed something!”

To solve this, the NeedAnything app helps you set up a personal shopping network that allows you and your contacts to help each other get what you need from the store.

IF YOU SHOP FOR OTHERS:

NeedAnything senses when you are at a store that is set up for auto alerts and ask your network if they need anything.

Shoppers can also send alerts to your network that you’re heading to the store to find out what they need.

Set up a shopping schedule so your contacts get reminders to update their requests or add new items.

IF OTHERS SHOP FOR YOU:

Create a shopping list and share it with your network of people who have offered to pick things up for you while they’re at the store.

Update your list and automatically share any changes.

Get confirmations on items and times from the shopper so you can have confidence in receiving your items.

IF YOU SHOP FOR OTHERS AND OTHERS SHOP FOR YOU:

NeedAnything allows you to use the app both ways! Just set up your profile according to what you want to do.


Why use NeedAnything?

Show you care: If your family members, roommates, or neighbors can’t make it to the store, just send them a “NeedAnything?” and help them get the things they need.
Peace of mind: Your contacts know and trust you, eliminating concern over safe handling of their items. For specific requests, they can send you a “NeedSomething” to ensure you buy what they need.
Save time: Alert multiple people all at once and receive real time replies so you get through the store with maximum efficiency.
Save energy: Add friends and family members to your NeedAnything network, so everyone is notified when someone goes to the store or needs something from there. You can even assign network members to your favorite stores, notifying everyone whenever they go shopping.

Save confusion: Avoid the hassle of listening to and sending voicemail messages, searching for handwritten lists and jumping between multiple text messages and emails. Just check your NeedAnything app to quickly see who needs what.
