Please Note

This is Version 1 of the SmartCart app. It contains the primary and necessary features to accomplish

our goal. Later versions will roll out with additional features, in addition to feature tweaks and debugging.

Landing screen.

Main application screen, featuring large content display area, & side panel for displaying a list of current products in your cart. Also contains sign in button.

Once you click the ‘Sign in’ button, the app prompts iOS to launch the sign in pop-up.

Product display, with the product’s name, manufacturer, nutritional information, health advice, picture, and ‘Add’ button to add this item to your cart.

Let’s ‘Add’ the Ritz crackers to our cart.

Once added, the product is listed in ‘Your Cart’ list, along with its price, and a running total of the products currently in your cart.

Let’s check out the app’s namesake feature – Smartify.

An iOS drop-down menu appears with a preset list of potential health goals for the consumer. Lets say we want to increase the amount of energy available during the day.

Smartify automatically searches the grocery store’s individual database, and displays ‘top results’ based on your selected goal. Click the product to learn more about it, or ‘Add’ it directly to your cart.

What if you don’t want to look at each product one-by-one? Use the ‘Compare’ feature to automatically compare two or more products based on your specific goal.

The drop-down menu automatically propogates its list with the items currently being viewed. You can ‘Edit’ the list to remove any item, or search for a new product to add.

Let’s see what the compare feature does.

Shows nutritional information for each product.
