Yeah ok I got that, but then please stop the really annoying overlays and PUSHES (are you out of your mind to send me push notifications to buy the new app)?

This is a rip off, why do I have to pay again for an update

Thanks for your continued development and support of a great app. It is a shame that Apple’s store policy doesn’t allow you more flexibility for existing customers which leads to some of the negative comments I’ve seen.

I’m not a developer but I understand the challenges of making an app continue to look and work the way the previous version did while rewriting it from the ground up with a new foundation to build on. I appreciate the subtle improvements and look forward to your continued development.

My two requests are:
1. More colors.
If I recall you had to take away one of the colors to make it compatible with other platforms which is a shame. I hope you find a way to add two or three colors back in.

2. More purchase dictionaries.
I think you can take advantage of the shopping list tool you’ve created by expanding it to other kinds of shopping such as a hardware store, clothing stores, or even letting me create a purchase dictionary for items I want to pack for a trip. I hope you’ll consider adding the ability to manage more than one purchase dictionary across my lists.

First of all I want to say I really like the app since it provides what I need, it is very easy and intuitive to use and it does work cross-platform within our family. This app is placed on the very first page of my iPhone and so I have no issue in buying the new app, especially for the easier way to change lists and the lighter background for bought items and the indicators of updates.

What I dislike in the new app is the very small colored indicator of the category at the very left border – and especially with the dashed colors it is not easy to see.
Also for editing you have to wipe and press edit. Even longer pressing simply deletes the entry.

And there is a small bug: after editing the amount and pressing “done” the line of the item is still swiped!

What I would appreciate to find in this new app (as really new features):
* ability to change the sort order of the lists
* ability to change the sort order of the categories or even to edit categories and their colors.
* direct editing of amount in the line of the item without wiping for editing. Or even using a (+) and (-) key.

Put a new version sequence, if you truly believe it a brand new app. Free or not, going version 3.4 to 4.0 is a sure way to declare an update. Your marketing team isn’t really handling things well, you might consider replacing them.

How greedy and treacherous of you. I considered buying the new version just to leave a bad review, but it looks like plenty of people have crapped on you already.

I found a much superior app in my quest to ditch you: AnyList, made by former Apple engineers, and FREE.

All the three apps – the Android PRO version, “Buy Me a Pie! Classic” and the new “Buy Me a Pie! – Grocery Shopping List” – a synchronized with each other.

We don’t know what happens when iOS8 is released – to say that we need to see it. We have no idea of its capacities.
