Anyone know of a good shopping list program, with sync/desktop companion that will run on the 6700? I was using SplashShopper on the Palm previously and loved it.... I miss it on the PPC. Any ideas?

L

Please let me know if you have any ideas, for I was using My Shopping List for 2003SE and it will not install on WM5 and now I am always running out of milk!!!

I haven't tried it ,but may look into it one of these days, looks nice. I'm testing their newsbreak software which is nicely done.

I used Splash Shopper too when I had my Treo 600. I guess the other main shopping program for the Palm was HandyShopper. There is an alpha version of HandyShopper for PPC at this link:

http://chrisant.home.comcast.net/hs3/hs3ppc.htm

I've used this for several months and it works great, but I'm not sure if it's being actively developed or not. For an alpha version, I have had zero problems with it. I like it better than Splash Shopper I used to use.

(Well, I got this far into the message, and realized you had asked about one with desktop synch, which HandyShopper doesn't have. Oh well, I'll throw it out anyway.)

ListPro is nice, but not free. I use it and like it, but I've never tried any others either. I did see some free lists on www.freewareppc.com. Also, there are cheaper alternatives to listpro too. try browing www.handango.com to find them.

I was looking for the same thing. I found a lot of programs that did/had way too much stuff and were difficult to use.

So, I decided to write one.

The discussion of the birth and growth of the program can be found here.

Current version is 1.0 and 1.1 is currently being tested with quite a few enhancements.

Just tried this program and it looks great. I'll keep you all posted.

Looking forward to trying 1.1. Thanks!

Version 1.1 is out.

Upgrading from a previous version:
We have had problems with installing to the PPC after attempting to uninstall a previous version. Follow the following list to make it work. Sorry about this, am not sure what it is with MS’ install/uninstall yet.

1. On the device, uninstall from the Remove Programs in Settings.
2. Using your preferred file manager, browse to the previous install directory and delete all files except for the .lst files.
3. Install new version.
4. Open ActiveSync
5. Tools|Add/Remove Programs
6. Highlight dillSoftPPCShoppingList
7. Click Remove

Try a normal uninstall/install first. You will not hurt anything. Leaving the lst files will keep the lists. The uninstall/install process has not killed any lists in testing, so they should be fine. Copy them off to another directory if you really want to be safe (PC and PPC).


If anyone knows someone with another WM5 device, I'd love to hear if this works on phones besides our 6700.

Attention downloaders


Sorry everyone. If you downloaded this morning's version 1.1 of the full install (msi file installed from the PC), you will either need to download again and reinstall or just add the following registry key to the PC:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\dillSoft.com\ShoppingList

This affects anyone that downloaded before 6/24/06 - 2:00pm CST.
