Keyboard pops up when ever app is launched.

Whenever I launch the app the keyboard pops up obscuring the list. It would be nice if the keyboard waited until I tapped the add bar the way other programs work on my my touch - my my. This is a wonderful program but it would be great if you could add items to the list from my home computer as well as a backup for all my items. I had to change phones and it was discouraging to have to start from scratch.
Thx,
James
