The philosophy of Zen 2 Buy is simplicity, just click on product icons to navigate and mark products to create a list. This way creating a list is a matter of seconds, but speed comes with a price - your lists are limited by the existing icons. Thus, to effectively use the application, use it as a broad reminder, not as an exact purchase instruction.

The application is designed with the assumption that in a relationship the partners know each others' preferences. The husband knows what kind of bread his wife eats, what kind of cheese and yogurt she likes etc. So there is only one type of cheese, bread, ice-cream icons that work as a reminder - hey I need to buy cheese. What kind of cheese the app will not tell, it's up to you to know your family's preferences. This allowed us to design a simple interface that is easy to navigate to find the necessary product very fast.

Nevertheless there are probably products that you usually buy that are missing from Zen2Buy. In this case you can add them as text via long pressing the + button.
