Abstract: Shopping for household items is a tedious task since different members of a family will have different needs. If each member decides to go for shopping individually, it might be inefficient and time consuming. Some might prefer going to a shopping mall to purchase all the items that they need but since technology like Global Positioning System (GPS) doesn’t work indoors accurately, people will find it difficult to navigate to the required store.Sometimes the user might find several items that fits the requirements and might have difficulties trying to choose between them. The purpose of this research is to overcome such issues and improve the overall experience of shopping with the use of an android application. This application wouldallow the users within a family to create and share a shopping list so that one member of the family could purchase items needed for the entire family.The application alsohelps the user to navigate to the store that sells those items within a shopping mall using Bluetooth low energy (BLE) beacons. Other functionalities of this application would be to be notified about the offers available at the stores based on the user as they enter a store and also to scan the barcodes of the items available and share reviews about those items. These reviews will be sorted using an algorithm so that others would find it easy when making purchasing decisions.
