    I'll be checking this thread often...I'm looking for the same thing. This is my first Smartphone so I'm not familiar with ListPro but after checking the link out, it's amazing and how I wish they would come up with something just as good for the Droid. In the meantime, my search begins
    I hope your holidays were fantastic!

    LiveList (updated)

    LiveList did an update, fixed a couple of problems, so this is an updated review, 0.2.0 level.

    LiveList

    Functionally, I would like something equivalent to ListPro, available on Windows Mobile and iPhone, that allows you to create lists. This can be a task list, or a shopping list, and you can define the fields in the list, sort on any field (kind of look at it as columns in the database or spreadsheet). Lists can be put into folders, folders can be put in folders. There are special check and flag fields, and options to control whether or not check'd items continue to be displayed, resetting the checklist (to do again), etc. So mostly I'm comparing LiveList against the "ideal" as it were. So far, no List app for Android has stacked up, so it's all a case of "how close".

    LiveList is from Formal Bowler Software:

    Formal Bowler Software - Android Development - LiveList

    What was added for this version is a priority field, which actually helps a lot, whether it's a ultimately a shopping list, or task list, or whatever. Priorities are shown by a color (red=high, yellow=medium, low=green, non=grey).



    The counts are the number of items left to do in the list. 0=nothing left. Etc. The 2nd. number is the total items on the list.


    Pros:
    • Relatively easy to Use
    • Does support one level of folders (multiple lists)
    • Has Priority field (useful, just added, High/Medium/Low, or None)
    • Can sort by priority (also new, useful)
    • Has Check All/Uncheck All functions for lists
    • Allows you to set screen text size


    Cons:
    • Does just one level of Folders for Lists (ListPro does multiple)
    • No menu function to enable display of checked/unchecked items
    • Clear checked items doesn't clear the checkmarks, but deletes the item (it does prompt, but it really should have been delete checked items in the bar)
    • List entries are very simplistic, just one text entry field, no way to edit or add fields or use a template, etc. (examples: Quantity, Price, Notes (text) field that shows only when item is in edit, etc.
    • Doesn't seem to be a way to cause it alphabetically sort entries on the list, or folders
    • Long entries tend to wrap and take up a lot of screen space


    So I guess my net would be that LiveList is good for simple, one level, one field (text) type lists. With the extensions, it's better, but it has a ways to go before it matches up with ListPro. But for a very simple list function, this is not bad.

    Could you please list your eWallet replacements? Thanks.

    I've been using Note Everything Pro to replace the grocery list I had in listpro. It allows the creation of checklists that can be All, Need, or Done. That lets me move items from All to Need and when I pick them up they are Done. It won't replace listpro, but for my uses it works fine.

    I went back to SplashID for my wallet. I used it years ago on my Palm and it is still a good way to keep that information.

    Remember, this advice is worth exactly what you paid for it

    I use SplashShopper on my old Palm, so I've also been sweating a solid replacement. The skimpy lists so far are not cutting it.

    Thanks for your excellent and succinct reviews; I am now bookmarking this thread. Here's to a useful app appearing soon.

    To the other poster, I use SplashID for encrypted wallet info, which has been ported to Android. It hasn't got the best reviews in the market, though, so I've been hesitant to drop any coin on it. On the plus side, it's easily converted via its Desktop client.

    For shopping list, I am using Our Groceries. I didn't use ListPro for shopping list though, I used HandyShopper.

    Our Groceries is far from a perfect handyshopper replacement, but it is at least sufficient for now.

    For simple Todo tracking, I have settled on LiveList. Again, far from a ListPro replacement, but it is quick and easy.

    I am still using ListPro on my Netbook for complex list needs rather than using my phone.

    In case others are interested, I use Keepass. It imported my eWallet database, and at least if I stick with version 1.6 on my PC I can sort of keep my wallets synchronized (using SugarSync for file synchronization).

    I use Astrid as a to-do/list keeper application. You might want to check it out. It does not do folders but does have tags and syncs with Remember the Milk which has a desktop widget for google calendar. It works for me.

    For a wallet app I use Keeper (?eKeeper). It has similar functionality to ewallet which I used on PPC. It wirelessly syncs to the desktop app over wifi which is great, but the desktop app is about $29.00. The Android app itself is free though.

    +1 on NoteEverything (Pro). The so-called "durable checklist" functionality included in the paid version is an excellent list manager for groceries (and other recurring supply lists) and the multilevel folder support appears to be what some other list manager apps on the Droid are lacking.

    Lacks (as far as I can tell) some of the features of the more focused list managers but considering that it's primarily a notepad app with list functionality, it has a somewhat different focus.

    Its major drawback, at least from my experience, is the capacity to create/edit/manage notes, lists, etc. from a website. I don't live exclusively on my phone and the creation of my family's grocery/pharmacy/Costco lists was a process that could have considerably eased by doing it on my computer keyboard. On the plus side, my suggestion to the developer was promptly answered with the comment that such an interface was being developed.

    All in all, it's worth checking out in the context of this thread.
