So I'm playing with my new iphone. I'm particularly interested in a good grocery list app and a pricebook app. I downloaded the free version of grocerygadget and it's all right so far, but if I could find an app that combined a pricebook, a barcode scanner, AND multiple lists, AND was easy to use - now that'd be perfect.
anyone use these? Any recommendations? Any other personal financial apps you like?

I don't know if it available on the iphone, but I have an android & I use one called grocery IQ. I think it does most of what you are looking for. You can make grocery lists & divide them up by stores, but then also see all items on all lists at once too. You can use a barcode scanner to enter items & it also has a favorites list to make it easy to make a quick list once you have that set up.
The only thing I am not sure about is the price book, it does have a place where you can enter a price, a place to enter a description, & a place to enter notes. I would think you could find a way to work it to use these features as a price book.
I tried several grocery lists & this was by far the easiest to use.
It also has coupon listings that you can send to your savings card or email to yourself to print, but I haven't tried these features yet.

I would also be interested if anyone knows any good financial apps. I have tried many different ones for budgeting & stuff, but have found them all too difficult for what I was looking for. I don't want to track all my financial information, but would like an easy to use app to track certain budget items.

Thanks Angel
I'll take a look at Grocery IQ
After my original post I downloaded the free version of Grocerygadget to play with. One nice feature is that I can link my list to the one on DH's phone as well. If I update my grocery list, his is immediately updated. So if he is out and about, he no longer needs to call me and ask if I need something fromi the store.
The paid version lets you create multiple lists, but this versipn seems fine for now.
