Frequently asked questions
- Do I need an account?
- No. Cesta works with no account, no sign-up and no connection. Everything is kept on your iPhone.
- How do I add things with Siri?
- Say "Hey Siri, add to Cesta" and then what you need: "milk, two loaves of bread and tomatoes". The first time, Siri will ask whether it can use Cesta: say yes and repeat the phrase.
- Siri doesn't answer when I mention Cesta.
- Check in iPhone Settings › Siri that Siri is on and, on Cesta's page, that "Use with Siri" is on. Meanwhile, the list's microphone works just the same, without Siri.
- What is shopping mode?
- It's the list for when you're in the shop: it comes out in aisle order and you just tick things off. If something isn't there, swipe it left and it stays on your list for next time.
- What is scanning a receipt for?
- To know what you spend on food, in which shop, and to compare prices. Cesta reads the receipt on your iPhone. If you give a product a brand and size, it tells you what it costs per kilo or litre and where the same brand is cheapest.
- Do I need artificial intelligence?
- No. The list, recipes, calendar and receipts work without it. The AI is optional: it sorts the list into categories, understands quantities and reads recipes and receipts better. To turn it on you need a key from a provider; here's how to get one for free.
- What data is sent to the AI?
- Only if you turn it on and agree, and directly to the provider you choose. It's all explained in the privacy policy.
- How do I earn coins, and what are they for?
- By using the app: finishing a shop, saving receipts and recipes, adding things or playing. They let you customise the notebook's sheets and dress Cesta. Some things unlock as it grows: Cesta is born a baby and turns a year older every week.
- How do I delete my data?
- In Settings › Delete all data, or by uninstalling the app.
