Thanks for the response. However, it didn't work that way with the Pepperplate app. My iPhone shows a shopping list that was added. My iPhone does not. Hoping it is just a peculiarity of that app and that updates work the way you stated.
Ahhhhh. I see your confusion.
OK, when we talk about the Applicaiton syncronising through iTunes that means iTunes will install a copy of the application on your device.
It does NOT necessarily mean that the application can syncronise it's data between two devices. This is an easy miunderstanding to have.
So, you want to create a shopping list using, say the iPad, and are expecting to see that same list on the iPhone after you have syncronised both devices? This wont happen UNLESS the application is designed to syncronise it's data in this way. Only a limited number are and they often don't use iTunes to perform this action.
For example, I use OmniFocus, which is a To Do manager on both my iPad and iPhone. It has built in sync using it's own technology. When ever I change the status of a To Do on my iPad it is immediately reflected when I open OmniFocus on my iPhone. I think this is the type of functionality you were expecting for the shopping list, yes?
So, it sounds like the app you bought doesn't support sycronising of the lists it creates, although I would double check the app. Is there a help section or user guide? It may have instrucitons on how to sync lists if it is a feature of the App. Also, there may be other apps in the app store that do what you want, so you might want to check that out. Maybe post a thread here asking members if they have heard of one? (I don't know one, sorry)
Hope that helps.
