RE: [HS] Grocery IQ

Has anyone checked out "Shopping List" by Fivefly?   I find it a
satisfactory substitute (well . . . not really, but it does most of what I
need).   It is available for Android.   I have no idea if a version is
available for the I-Phone.

That's the way I too used HS. 

My reply merely tried to indicate a method to achieve as close as possible
to the same end using Grocery IQ, which is 'List' (Store) driven. 

I agree its still nowhere near the functionality of HS, but as much as I
like & used HS, I'm trying to get to the point of carrying only one device
with me, my iPhone.

Hmmm.... I see that GIQ isn't listed in the HS Alternative Database. Once I
use it a little more I'll add it.
