The .zip file is empty. Otherwise it sounds interesting.

:confused totally:
I suggest you try downloading it again. I opened the ZIP file just then and the files are in there.

Works fine for me on my Axim X50 (I have downloaded from the pocketdeal.com web site). I am amazed it's free, I saw other shopping list software, that do not automatically download coupons and also do not have so many features for prices of $20 or more! Thanks!

I'll have to try on my home computer. FOr some reason, some applications don't download right on my work computer. I'm glad to have a remote connection to home.
I sent the link for the desktop version to my wife.
This isn't spyware, or any other kind of "monitor you in everything you do so we can bombard you with targeted marketingware" is it?

I dunno... I tried it, and maybe I'm just not a typical shopper. None of the stores I shop at on a regular basis had any coupons available. So without that added value, I like ListPro better as a general shopping list app. Of course, free is nice...
Has anyone found a "must have" shopping list app they'd recommend? It's more for my wife than me... I'm trying to find more ways for her to find value in her Pocket PC.

It's probably free because its full of affiliate and referral links, so they are making money from it one way or another. :roll:

I downloaded it on my home computer and transferred it to my work computer across my friend's website (he doesn't use it for anything, so I use it for file transfers). It worked. I agree with Joe; I didn't see anything I'd want to stop for on the way home. I'll keep it for a while though. Maybe my wife will enjoy the desktop version. It did seem geared for online shopping; I noticed that.
