    I really like Super Simple Shopping List.

    I have the full width widget & it works really nicely.

    Thanks all for the suggestions. I couldn't see on keep where to use it as a shopping list? My partner is on an iphone, I'll have her seeing the light soon, not sure if keep is compatible and I'll have to look at using google assistant.

    Have downloaded cinnamon to and will see if I can get it to work for us, similarly I'll give super simple list a look as well.

    Yes but it's very poor for swiping compared to Swype

    I find Swiftkey has gotten very poor with predictions in the last few months.. is Swype still the best alternative then?

    If you are a swiper, yes. It doesn't have the predictions of Swiftkey, but if you're a swiper this will not be a big deal as you can run quickly through the sentence and go back and tap the wrong words after and select alternatives, it's much quicker this way. It also has a few neat gestures, copy, paste and select all or change a word to all caps or lower case with a single swipe.

    Thank you very much, got GTA china wars and the first two, I use player fm for podcasts and don't see how it could be improved, unless I am missing something?

    The other nice thing about making a list in Keep is that you can set a reminder based on location. So it'll pop up when you get to the supermarket.

    Your welcome, hope you enjoy them (again?)
    And I've never used that one, I used to use podcast addict up until recently when I bought Pocket Casts just because it looks much better than P.A and functions the same, but Pocket Casts seems to be the most recommended paid for podcast app so thought I'd mention it to you.

    Another thing I would do if I were you is look at your installed apps you like and see if they have any pro versions or IAP to remove ads and unlock pro features.

    The main reason I switched to Pocket Casts was because of the sync to other devices feature, now I just log in and it's the same on my tablet as it is on my phone which is great.
    In saying that though Podcast Addict didn't have many toggles I needed to adjust to get it the way I like it, just subscribed to my podcasts and set skip silence + volume boost and I was done, it was the ads and overall look I didn't like compared to Pocket Casts which is great to look at and no ads :)

    Hmm, didn't know it synced myself.

    Might change away from Poscast Addict.

    Does it sync the point in the podcast you are at?

    Is it possible to use a podcast app to download from iTunes?

    most of the Android podcast apps have access to the iTunes Library, Podcast Addict is a free one that I've been using, and can search iTunes.

    Try them on Amazon UK instead, perhaps?

    Can you buy them outside the app? Phone / laptop browser and then download them in the app, under my apps?
