Haha, good one.

Add music to the list: Korn

Add pet store to list: leash.

PIN that!

Doesn't seem compatible with the Tour?

 
 
Posted by marwatk Wednesday, Aug 26, 2009 1002 days ago

:/ There is a 4.7+ version in the MobiHand store, but for some reason the CB store isn't showing it. For the Tour it shouldn't matter, but for the Storm you'll want to grab the 4.7+ version.
If you want to try it grab it here:

You can still purchase from the CB store, the reg codes will work with either version.

The link in the story has the Pearl hardcoded as your device, so when you click it it sets that as the default. If you change your device to the Tour/Storm on the left it should update and give you the 4.7 version.

Alternatively, if you haven't clicked the story link yet, this should work:

Is there a way to use something other than the Blackberry to create the lists in the first instance? It's often easier to type out grocery lists on a computer.

Hi there,

You can create a simple text list and email it to yourself, then import it. Check out this page for details:

This looked very interesting because it would address some of the issues I am sure a lot of us have.

My problem is that my wife does not have a BB (only room for one adict in the house) and was hoping for a easier or more streamlined way to manage the lists via computer. If there was a way to login and manage the lists as well I would be all over this and I beleive the product would apply to a larger customer base.

Right now my thought (but for no particular reason) is to sync with iPhone users. I'm definitely open to feedback, though. A simple web interface wouldn't be difficult to sync with either. If you want to continue the discussion feel free to post over in my forums.

What I *really* want to do is sync with Google's todos, but there's no API for that yet.

Hey Marcus,

Yeah, having HoneyDew sync with Google Tasks would be awesome! I've been using Google Tasks on my BB in a browser, which has worked okay, but not great. What you've created here has some really nice features, such as auto-complete.

The thing I like the most about using Google Tasks is I can add tasks from my computer. This is key since I spend about 12 hours of my pathetic life each day using one.

Any chance something like that might be possible with HoneyDew in the future? Or would you just wait for the Tasks API to come out and use Google's existing functionality to accomplish it?

Luke.

this is not spam, promise :)
Try Cozi (it's free). Family oriented online calendar(you can assign 1+ people to an event), sync to Outlook, mobile app, and shopping lists. I've been using it for a few years and it works great. Supposedly there is a BB app in development.

Is this a monthly fee or one time.

 
 
Posted by marwatk Wednesday, Aug 26, 2009 1002 days ago

Though it is per-device. There's also a 30-day trial period.

Cool thanks.

 
 
Posted by HofstraJet Wednesday, Aug 26, 2009 1002 days ago

Wife and I have it and use it daily. Well executed design and program. Highly recommended.

 
 
Posted by eye4ni Wednesday, Aug 26, 2009 1002 days ago

This looks very cool, but does it have the ability to set/sync reminders for list items? My wife wants to give me a task list and remind me of the tasks/items at a given time, is this possible?

 
 
Posted by Navan Wednesday, Aug 26, 2009 1002 days ago

Now if only I could get my fiance to get a BB we'd be ALL SET!

 
 
Posted by Chef_Hutch Wednesday, Aug 26, 2009 1002 days ago

Those of you who want to try something else might try SplashShopper from splashdata.com. This not only allows you to set up a master with various categories you assign, but allows you to input names of stores where you shop and even down to the store location! It also includes prices of items if you want to go that far. You can use this for all kinds of lists. I made one for a list of items to take on a cruise. You can also make one for movies you want to see, wines to try, etc. The sky is the limit. You can also send your list to your spouse. You can show deleted items or not - your choice. A slick little piece of software IMHO. I've been using it now for about two months. CrackBerry did a review not too long ago as well.

This doesn't help sync and auto update with your partner, and it's...$30! Quite a difference from 1.50

 
 
Posted by Tiylaieomaat Wednesday, Aug 26, 2009 1002 days ago

Wow. I really like the idea behind the product... =)

 
 
Posted by Tiylaieomaat Wednesday, Aug 26, 2009 1002 days ago

Oh! An idea that I think would be pretty neat for the app is to choose which lists you can sync etc along with more people to sync with...
The idea with this is to share lists of ideas with friends! Just throwing that out there! =)

 
 
Posted by bzar1247 Wednesday, Aug 26, 2009 1002 days ago

With 7 obvious spelling mistakes, one of which is in the title, and countless gramatically errors how could I make an informed opinion on this. Product?

The only feature that sounds appealing is the live sync, if it uses the push technology.

Also does the writer of this article not know that you can email or pin a task to another blackberry?

Just my two sense, I sure someone will find fault in this post and chirp it!
But I implore you to do so :)

 
 
Posted by citi Wednesday, Aug 26, 2009 1001 days ago

Why in the world would you want to email or pin a task update for every item you've picked up at the store? The purpose of this is to stay in sync without having to jump through hoops. I think it's a great idea and have already downloaded the trial and will download again for my wife later tonight...which is how I decide if its a good program or not.

cents not sense

 
 
Posted by sliznut Wednesday, Aug 26, 2009 1002 days ago

it was able to sync with a pc.

 
 
Posted by sliznut Wednesday, Aug 26, 2009 1002 days ago

cents...not sense. My two cents. And I assume you meant to write "I am sure..." not "I sure.." =) Just making sure I act like the annoying spelling/grammar police. lol

UpVise does this very well. Go to http://upvise.com/

 
 
Posted by shelland Wednesday, Aug 26, 2009 1001 days ago

I love the concept. Like someone else above, my wife doesn't have a BB, so I might keep an eye on that discussion. Very simple yet effective!

 
 
Posted by londysaurus.rox Wednesday, Aug 26, 2009 1001 days ago

i've been using rememberthemilk for the last year or so and i love it. tho honeydew looks good for actual grocery lists, i like using rtm because with mobile it syncs to my phone, but it's also linked to my google calendar/tasks, and i have access to everything on my desktop or via the web.

the mobile app comes with premium membership, but i've found it to be worth it.

it's another alternative.

my husband doesn't have a bb either. so we use google docs to upload lists. i do like that honeydew automatically keeps track of additions and deletions.

 
 
Posted by MijnHeerWout Wednesday, Aug 26, 2009 1001 days ago

I'm with Bzar1247 ... I don't get, why this app is even useful, when my BBerry (Curve 8330 and Pearl) has MemoPad and Task List that allow you to email/MMS/text/Pin your lists or data to wherever you want. What am I missng?

 
 
Posted by citi Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

"what am I missing?" Everything. Go to their site and watch the video, it makes a lot more sense. As I said before, you wouldn't want to pin someone after every single item added or removed. There are a lot of things this does that aren't advertised here like remembering your grocery lists so you can "check" off items you want to put on the list. Saves on typing. The moment you close out the app, it updates their blackberry list. It sends the message and the app on the other phone hijacks it and updates your phone.

Just want to throw in a hearty how-do-ya-do and word for "MyCart" again. It's completely free and really I don't think this does anything more than MyCart. Maybe I'm wrong though.

 
 
Posted by n0m0n Wednesday, Aug 26, 2009 1001 days ago

Can you make a sub item to a sub item?
Meaning can you have an action to the primary/secondary item?

Hope that makes sense.
Thanks

I know it says for 4.2 and up and 4.7 but I have 5.0.0.140 and its giving me issues. Led wont stop flashing green. It wont let my BBM send messages right away. It works great on my GF curve buy Im gonna have to wait I guess.

 
 
Posted by madair Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

I second the motion on Upvise. It's free in the Appstore and syncs with your account on their website, so it's accessible from anywhere by anyone with whom you want to share your account.

 
 
Posted by zerog32 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

It's a freakin $1.50. if you don't like it don't purchase it. I think it works great.

 
 
Posted by citi Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

ditto. People need to try things before they talk trash. Most of these comments are speculation or just reaffirmation that they made the right choice with their chosen software. It they weren't so close minded they would see how useful this thing is. If of course, they actually help out around the house! :-)

 
 
Posted by Rlove25 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

So I got an email saying I should update the version I just bought yesterday(1.0.7) to version 1.0.10. so I try to do it and send it to my phone and when I try to download it under version it says 1.0.7 ... is anyone else having this problem? Also.. If I can get one that actually says 1.0.10 do I need to delete the old one first and do the whole process that I did yesterday over again?

In a busy household this is great going to get it for me and the bf

 
 
Posted by bed685 Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

I purchased this app this morning. I followed the instructions and purchased a quantity of "2" one for my BB and one for my wife's BB. I loaded it on my BB and entered the registration code and is working great. I went to set it up on my wife's BB but it does not recognize the registration code. I attempted to get a new code by followng the instructions but could not get the support system to accept my initial registration code or my BB PIN or my purchase number.
I sent an e-mail with all my info to the support address and have not heard anything back yet.
I like the idea of the app but if it isn't going to work between two BB's it isn't worth adding another app to my BB.
I purchased Splash Shopper two days ago but it is just way to involved.
This seemed perfect for us but if I can't get the other BB set up I will probably remove it all together and go back to Splash Shopper.

 
 
Posted by citi Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

Well for the time being, run it in the trial version which gives you 30 days to test it. Than try the registration thing at your convenience. It really does work great!

 
 
Posted by marwatk Thursday, Aug 27, 2009 1001 days ago

When stories like this hit on crackberry and the like I get inundated with a lot of emails all at once. Compounding the issue is that HoneyDew's only been out for about 8 days now, so I'm still working out all the registration quirks.

Another user helped me earlier today by pointing out that when ordering via Crackberry the number I see from my end is the "Software" number that shows up in parenthesis in the subject from the order from crackberry, not the Order number. If you enter that when looking it up it should find it. (I'm working on updating the site to reflect that)

At any rate, if you haven't heard back from me yet via email you definitely will shortly.

Sorry for the delay, thanks for hanging in there.

This is the best app. It is very useful.

I wanted to leave a foloow up to my previous post. I heard back from support and the problem was quickly resolved. I am glad to report the app is working great. Thanks for your help Marcus!

 
 
Posted by paulwright1 Friday, Aug 28, 2009 1000 days ago

It was causing issues with my BBM and Led but after using it today it seems to be fine now. Its actually pretty cool.

Hi -
Very interested in this app. Are there any plans for Outlook/Exchange integration?

 
 
Posted by periwinklemoon Friday, Aug 28, 2009 1000 days ago

I'm a habitual list maker, and have tried a couple list apps that were glitchy. So far so good on HDew! I like that this little non-intrusive, non-memory hogging app will let me keep my lists in an easy to find/read format. Probably don't need or won't use sync feature (unless I could sync with PC). Thanks to developers!

 
 
Posted by hammerhead1 Friday, Aug 28, 2009 1000 days ago

I put it on my wife's BB and mine and it works very easily and does exactly what it says. If you don't like the description of what it does, don't install it... simple. I think it's a good app, and at $1.49 it's worth it.
