I've been making shopping lists using a memo app checklist, but I wanted to be able to group by store and keep a check history. "Kausuke" is a simple way to make that happen. - You can register lists by shop and item. - Items can be linked to multiple shops. - A check history is kept. - Data can be backed up and restored. - Data is stored only on the device.
