Some users have reported deletion of data on upgrading. These are not related to Shopping List itself, but probably to the iPhone firmware. We suggest to use this procedure to upgrade :

• Back up your iPhone by syncing it with iTunes just before you install any update.
• Disconnect your iPhone and install the update on the device.

If you didn't lose your data, all is fine. If you did lose your data, you can restore it from the backup. But you have to be very careful. When you connect your iPhone to your computer, iTunes automatically overwrites the existing backup with a new one. Since you just lost your data on the device, this will effectively delete your previous backup from iTunes! To prevent this, you need to do the following:

• Disable automatic syncing for your iPhone in iTunes preferences before you connect the iPhone again (iTunes > Preferences > Syncing > Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones and iPods).
• Connect your iPhone and wait until it appears in iTunes sidebar. Since syncing is disabled, iTunes won't back up your data automatically.
• Right-click (or control click) on the iPhone and select "Restore from backup".

WARNING: Some users have reported crashes. From our testing, these are not related to Shopping List itself, but probably to the iPhone firmware. Look at Apple support article or at Macrumors article for further details and discussion of this issue.
