I couldn't, and I couldn't find an appropriate substitute for Android - so I had to clone it myself. >AndshoBBer is the result - currently in beta. In some ways worse, in some ways different but in many ways inspired by HandyShopper. I hope Chris Antos sees this as a tribute, not a plagiarism. >You may download AndShoBBer from https://market.android.com/details?id=dk.andbb.andshobber.database >https://sites.google.com/site/andshobber/ > > I see that one can convert their HS lists to XML and then import to AndShoBBer. What, if any, data loss is there after the import process? I look forward to trying this out myself when I have some more time this weekend. Until then, you can look forward to many questions about your software and help using it via this forum. This one is on the edge of HandyShopper compatability, since although it does require export/import like other apps, rather than being able to open HS databases outright, the process does seem at least a bit more direct, and /hopefully/ lossless. As such, I won't be all "on topic nazi" when it comes to this app. Let's see where this takes us. :) -Greg
