I was in the shop syncing my list and started shopping. I got a call from home that my list is extended with a few more items. So i synced again.

Problem here:
- my already checked items are unchecked
- on a big list I wouldn't note if an item got deleted/added

It could ask at syncing if the existing list should be replaced or updated.

When being updated, checked items should still be checked, added items should be marked green, deleted items should be marked red.
That is a great feature to have. Sadly the website database isn't setup to store all the required information. Lists are now currently stored as plain text with no extra fields for checked items, timestamp per item or a to mark it as deleted.

To implement this would require quite a bit of change to the website as well as the app itself.

I do think it's a nice feature to have and will surely investigate it. And when the time is there, implement it. But don't wait for the feature as I don't think it will be implemented soon.
