Updated July 17, 2019 for Version 1.1
• Utilizes Google Maps’ Place Details and Autocomplete APIs to search for and download information on locations.
• Users can sort saved places and items in various ways, filter items to show only those from a specific place, and see at-a-glance aggregate data points for both places and items.
• Displays all saved places on a map and allows quick access to saved items for a specific place by tapping on the location’s map bubble.
Updates made in v1.1 (released July 2019)
- New feature: You can now add and save a photo for each item using your camera or library, and image thumbnails are displayed in the "What I Ordered" tab.
- New feature: You can now save and load your most recent sorts using the new in-app setting (on by default).
- Bug fix: Fixed issue that caused a delay when detecting the user's proper location for the place search.
- Update: Moved the "info" butting from the navigation bar to the tab bar.
Using Ordered!
• When starting for the first time (or whenever there are no places saved), you will see a message in the table on the “Places” tab instructing you to add a place, and this is done via the "+" button in the top right; a similar message appears on the “Items” tab when there are no items saved yet.
• When searching for a place to add (which is powered by Google Maps), enabling location services will allow Google to return Place ”predictions" that are closer to your current location.
• Manual entry of a location is possible (if Google can't find it, or if you don’t have internet access) by tapping the row that says "Can't find what you're looking for?" Note that locations that are entered manually won't have an address or URL associated with them, nor will they appear on the map.
• By tapping on a saved location, you can access actions that are available for that place, including “Add an Item” (which brings up the Add Item page), “Show Saved Items” (which will bring up the Items tab with items filtered to only show those from that specific place), “Show on Map” (which shows the place on the Map tab), and “Open Google Page” (which brings up a Safari window in which the place’s Google page is shown); note that the last two actions are not available for manually entered places.
• Once a place has been added, you can begin saving items for that place by either tapping on the place in the table and selecting "Add an Item" (as described above), or by selecting the "Items" tab and tapping the "+" button.
• For each item that you add, you can store a name/title, description, associated place, personal rating, number of times ordered, an image (from your camera or library) and notes; all of these values can be subsequently edited/updated simply by tapping on the item in the “Items” list once it has been saved for the first time.
• You can sort both your places and items by tapping the sort button on top, and there are five different ways to sort each list; as you store more and more places and items, these sorts can help you identify quickly what the highest rated places and items are, what items you order the most, and what place you order the most from.
• In order for the “number of times ordered” to be maximally useful over time, you are encouraged to increase the “number of times ordered” value each time you order a specific item.
• You can delete places and items by left-swiping or by tapping the “-“ button; note that if you delete a place, any saved items associated with that place will also get deleted.
• You can view all of your places on a map using the Maps tab; when you tap a place, if you have saved any items for that location, you can tap the pin’s bubble to show the items that are saved for that place.
