Hi Tony,
It's a great tool and more useful than we realized. We use it for shopping
lists (it's intended purpose), but also as a pick list for our new house (we
moved in less than a month ago and still have a garage full of boxes), and
as a business reminder. I'm a photographer in my new, semi-retired life and
its nice (and convenient) to have an "Errand List" to check on as I drop
off/pick up materials, visit galleries in the area where I display my work,
or ensure that email I need to send to a potential client gets sent. Sure, I
can use the iPhone's calendars, but this AP is much for convenient and
simple to use.
However, when you share a list, make sure you choose the right name prior to
hitting the "+," because there wasn't any way to go back and obviously
shutting the AP down didn't stop the "share" from being transmitted. Poor
design in that aspect.

I had just downloaded that program on my iPhone to share lists with my wife
too. I hadn't gotten to check it out yet, and your message went to the list.
Glad to see someone else finds the tool useful before I invest any time
setting it up!

Apologies to the list. My uncoordinated fingers hit the wrong name on my
contact list. Instead of sharing with my wife, I shared with all you guys.
