With all the grocery shopping list applications available on the market today, finding one that best suits your lifestyle can get costly. For many users, it becomes a question of desirable features. For others, it’s a question of price. Flixoft, the developers of Grocery Gadget, have simplified the decision-making process with their recent launch of Grocery Gadget Lite; the free version of their high-ranking Grocery Gadget Shopping List application for iPhone and iPod Touch.

Along with an appealing price tag, come a surprising number of similarities to Grocery Gadget. Although Grocery Gadget Lite offers management for just a single list, Flixoft developers chose to include the most valuable Grocery Gadget features: Automatic group sync, and online portal access at http://www.grocerygadgets.com. “We wanted all users to experience the simplicity of the group sync feature and grocery portal we launched with the Grocery Gadget 1.6 release,” says William Anllo, senior developer at Flixoft. “Anyone who’s been curious about Grocery Gadget, can now download the Lite version for free.”

But the available features for Grocery Gadget Lite don’t stop there. As with Grocery Gadget, Grocery Gadget Lite learns product order in the aisles as you shop, and includes an improvement from Grocery Gadget 1.7; alphabetic and category sorting in prepare mode. Also available, are editable photos and multiple tax setting options. Grocery Gadget Lite for iPhone and iPod Touch is truly a bargain.

With the new addition to the Grocery Gadget family, Flixoft continues to simplify the grocery shopping process for everyone. Their flagship application maintains top ranking within the iTunes productivity category, and with the free version of Grocery Gadget Lite, Flixoft is now able to offer cutting-edge shopping list application technology to a wider audience.
