Hmm
I thought this app had potential, until the update came along and wiped out my carefully entered product lists, replacing them with the default list, most of which is made up of US branded items or irrelevant products. There is no way to remove an entire category (e.g., Baby products)
Grocery Gadget Lite
Great little app: the only negative is that being "lite," it doesn't allow for enough items to be listed to make it worth using, at least not for the person doing a household's major, many-itemed weekly shopping. Very clever otherwise. Oh, and is there any way to make these shopping apps more universal, i.e., include metric weights/measures options for we who live outside the US? Thanks!

Disappointment
Having reviewed several shopping/grocery apps, there are full version apps which cost less that have much more functionality, flexibility and customizability. Won't mention any names but if you do the research you will be pleasantly surprised to find such an app for a mere $0.99. This app needs a lot of work to even come close and isn't worth the $4.99 to upgrade.

this is the lite version
The lite version only allows one list. We have enjoyed using the full version quite a bit. Especially handy/fun if you have multiple shoppers sharing the same list on their iPhone.
To make it possible for your data to transfer from lite to full you need have the grocery gadget account set up online. I went form iTouch to iPhone and was still able to get data.
If you are an iTouch user you will be able to view your list without wifi but not have auto update or link until back in wifi.

solid app, a couple of suggestions
Great app - a lot of intuition (sorting, lots of built-in items to choose from, etc.)
One big improvement would be voice recognition. Having so many choices makes it a little hard to type enough letters to get it to find "Creamy Peter Pan Peanut Butter, 12 ounces," etc. rather than just saying "Peter Pan Peanut Butter" and having it show just a few options.
Also, an interface with your desktop would be a bonus. Sure, you can pay extra to use the Grocery iQ webpage, but why buy the Grocery iQ app when I already have this one? Sometimes one of us will have the phone and the other will want to put something in the list before we forget. So, some other way to input items would put this over the top and make it the #1 iPhone app.

OK but nothing special
This app is nothing special. Takes about 4 seconds to start up. I've now moved to a simple free app that starts up instantly and am much happier with it. The inbuilt list didn't hav many things I buy.
Very Good!
I really like the lite version nut with only space for 10 items, I may try a different program.
