If you are tired of creating shopping lists the old fashion way with pen and paper, there is a relatively new Windows Phone app available the hopes to turn your head. We were tipped on Cart Nav and while I have to admit that I'm still one to grab a scrap piece of paper to create shopping lists, I was curious if Cart Nav was appealing enough to change my ways. Cart Nav has support for multiple lists for specific stores and the layout isn't too cumbersome to navigate around. It does allow you to sort your items into categories and will let you price items and chart the cost history. You also have Cortana integration so you can add items by voice commands. Cart Nav definitely has potential, especially if the developer is successful at adding one of the planned features. Best VPN providers 2020: Learn about ExpressVPN, NordVPN & more

When you first launch Cart Nav, you will need to create a lists by tapping the + button that sits at the bottom of the main screen. You will then get to choose one of the preset stores, add a store, delete a store and edit the store listing layout.

The preset stores include Walmart, Publix, Kroger, Albertsons, Safeway, Target and Shoprite. The stores are also divided into mapped and unmapped categories. A mapped store already has the categories or sections of the store organized (produce, dairy, deli, drinks, etc.). I'm not sure why there is the distinction because you can always edit the layout to fit your needs. I like the category mapping in that if you know you roam a store in a particular order, your list can display the items based on that order. It lessens the chances of you forgetting to pick up crackers when you've made it all the way to the other side of the store.
