I haven’t been back to this blog for a few weeks so of course you can imagine my excitement to read that ListPro for iPhone is very much alive and from the sounds of it, much further forward than I could ever have envisaged. I was initially very disappointed at the thought of no ListPro and was scouring around for other developers who were developing something similar – even though I knew an alternative product would never quite live up to the flexibility of ListPro. I truly hope this makes good business for you guys because ListPro is one of those rare applications that has never had an equal and iPhone users are in for a treat. While I try not to have too great expectations of the final product, you have very much made my day. I’m looking forward to this one and will ensure all I know hear about this upon release.

@Michael: I hear ya on the 5.1 stuff. That IS a project that got bumped by all the other stuff we had to get finished. HOWEVER it is now getting the attention it deserves – and updating the checkboxes/flags/lights/etc. is definitely on the list!

Is it ready yet? Is it ready yet? Is it ready yet? Is it ready yet?

Just kidding. In all seriousness, though, I’m very excited to hear that ListPro for iPhone will become a reality. Ever since abandoning my Palm for an iPhone, the loss of ListPro has been one of the major things that I keep trying to find workarounds for. So far, none have done the job (if one had, I wouldn’t still be popping in to this site…).

Plus, it was good to hear that the desktop would get some attention as well. When ListPro 5 first came out, there was some discusson (on this blog) about some of the (mostly minor) problems with v5 (the stoplights…) and a promise that it wouldn’t take as long for 5.1 as it did for 4.1. That promise was a long time ago.

So anyway, please keep us updated on progress!

Marc,

I know this is difficult one. I’ve been waiting for listpro with the functionality on iphone that it has on my wimnobile device, in fact if it does not make the Q3 release then the iphone (toy) goes to one of my grandchildren as I’ve got to many databases that I use daily and at the moment am still carrying an old hp pda to run listpro.

Have you every considered running a proper poll to find out how many users really want a fully functional listpro iphone version and what they are willing to pay.

I am willing to pay;
1. desktop version US$100.00 (you guys deserve the profit)
2. iPhone version US$ 20.00 (Apple deserve a lot less comission as they caused this problem in the first place)

I woud not mind being a beta tester, as I’ve been using listpro and ewallet since 2003 and have found nothing as good as either of them.

If you want my US$100.00 to put into the developement kitty, respond here and I will send you via email my registration details for both products mentioned above.

If this dosen’t work out the for my part Apple will loose out completely and I will jump fully back to winmobile 6.1 with a new pda.

Thanks for listening.

It’s good to hear that ListPro is on it’s way and won’t be a read only version. Many would have found it quite useless otherwise. I would hope that a Mac client will be released so that Mac users are not left out in the cold and I could ditch Windows for Mac.

Yes! ListPro for iPhone! Can’t wait!

I have lists from iPaq days too. Really look forward to being able to read them/create new ones on my iPhone.

Where do i sign up for beta testing?

Cannot wait until ListPro comes out. I am still carrying around my iPaq because the other list apps just doesn’t compare and just can’t bring myself to using anything else since I have had the taste of ListPro.

It can’t come too soon.

For now I am using another app but I will ditch it as soon as ListPro is available.

Thanks for the update and for your open discussions re future of List Pro on iPhone. As a long time user of List Pro on Pocket PC and before that Palm. I’ve been very keen to get List Pro for the iPhone & I’ve been checking AppStore each day in case it had been released.
I guess we’ll all have to wait a little longer to see the result of your labours!
