5/5Barcode scanner works like a charm. Easy to use.
Update: The barcode scanner works very well. Definitely impressive. We'll be using this software to track all our pantry items. Thank you to the developer for responding and explaining the settings. We have been looking for a way to track the food we have in our pantry. So often we forget what we have and buy more before using the old. Today is the first day of trying this app. So far so good. We'd love to see an option to use a remote barcode scanner. The app currently has you hold the item in front of your computer camera. Scanning would be much faster if we could use our handheld scanner. Anyway, pleased so far. Love that the information is stored on our computer and doesn't require loading on our phones.

3/5Not joining X to contact support
This app is great and allows a lot of customizations. But a couple of things need to me fixed: 1. I tried avoiding writing a review so that I might be able to improve the rating I give after I hear from the writer/support. I could not find a way to contact support through the app so I went to the App Store. When attempting to contact support through the App Store I am taken to X (Twitter). I am NOT creating an x account to contact the writers. So a not so great review they get for now. 2. When I add an item to my list that I already have in stock, it lets me know. That’s great but when I by the item or stock the item, I want the app ask me if I want to replace the existing in stock item or if I want to add to the existing stock. Currently it just adds to. If it’s an item like lettuce, I might buy a fresh bunch weekly. 3. When I stock an item I just purchased, the app puts it in my Bar storage, alphabetically the first storage the app finds. If the item is an item that has previously been stored, it should put it in the previous storage. If it’s an item that is new to the app, it should either prompt me to choose a storage or put it in some sort of undefined storage so I can choose storage later. 4. In my kitchen-fridge storage, I have an open item that I can neither mark as consumed or throw. When I swipe right to left, the consume a product screen appears but save is grayed out. If I choose to throw the product, save is also grayed out. If I choose to edit the product and change the quality to zero, save grays out.

5/5Great App but would love universal search
This app is fantastic and definetly deserves using the Tip function. I plan to do that on a regular basis as a great alternative to a subscription model. I would love it more if the search funciton searched all the storage locations instead of just the one you are currently in. Some items can be located in the freezer as well as the fridge or panty and this would make it easier to find. Another helpful improvement would be to allow multiple shops under a shopping list. For example, I created a Wholesale Club shopping list with Sams Club and Costco. Some items are unique to each club, but some can be bought at either.

3/5Weak at finding and retrieving
Some things about the app are quite good, but day to day use in finding stored items is not intuitive. It allows you to log items into it pretty easily and then add items to specific locations, ie kitchen freezer, basement freezer, etc. But retrieving them later isn’t obvious or simple. For example, if you want to find the 3 pound package of ground beef you bought 3 months ago, you actually have to remember the location you placed an item (ie basement freezer) and then search within that location in order for the app to tell you the specific place where the package can be found (ie shelf three). This is an important limitation. You can store items by location, but it doesn’t not have a basic “find item” or “view location” on the home page to make this an easy process.

4/5Helpful for freezer inventory
Been using the app for over a year to organize 2 freezers. It is a great way to check/manage inventory (including at the grocery store or when planning meals). The trick is anyone adding or removing from the freezer has to update the app to keep it current (user issue). We print the inventory & keep it on the freezer door (in the basement). My one major suggestion is to allow the printing of tag info when printing the inventory. I use tags to denote where to find the item - on what shelf or tub within which freezer. Currently I print the inventory list (which includes quantity, item, & expiration date) & then I hand write the tag info onto the list before I hang it on the freezer. Thank you for a great solution to manage freezer food!
