1. 1/5Outrageous Pricing Increases

   Like many others will point out, this is a great app. Feature and functionality-wise it’s a great inventory management product. The problem lies in their short-sighted subscription pricing strategy. They price based on items inventoried rather than on transactions or turnover. This means that people who use the app for home inventory (large inventory but almost no transactions other than the initial capture) are charged more than businesses who have smaller inventories but lots of transactions/turnover. Since becoming a customer I’ve seen my monthly subscription increase more than 300%. Last year I appealed to their support organization and was given a “grandfathered” price but this year they are insisting I either cut my home inventory in half or pay an increase of $180/month for my 4,000 items. This is a ridiculous amount to pay for data storage and considering that the app functions largely the same regardless of whether I have 2,000 or 4,000 items it is a bitter pill to pay $2,160/year more for the benefit of not having to move to another platform. Needless to say, it’s time to look for another option…

2. 3/5Sufficient Inventory App

   I started using this app after my other one was no longer compatible with newer phone updates. It does the job that I need (small business inventory) but in order to be the best there needs to be a few updates. 1. The camera view doesn't match the picture that is snapped. I have to get really close to objects to not show the background because the snapped picture captures more than what is seen on the phone display (I do not have this problem on my regular phone camera.) This only became a problem with the last couple of app updates. 2. I wish we could edit/add entry spaces "attributes" on the objects. Example: for one folder every object has a size. I wish we could add a spot that is always there that I could just tap or select from a dropdown menu with the options pertaining to that attribute (S,M,L etc). 3. The tags are unhelpful. They should be used to help search so the name of the objects aren't extremely long, which mine are. I don't like how all the tags from every listing are there in a list because it wastes time looking for the one I need and is just not user friendly. Sometimes only one or two objects share the same tag but it adds a spot to the list making it extremely long. Having attributes would help with this too. 4. I don't like how tapping on an item to view better automatically puts it in edit mode. This subtracts a star by itself. Tapping an object should put it in view mode and there should be an edit button to edit. Overall, this app does what I need but my previous one was better. I really hope these suggestions are really taken into consideration. I know this app is for general inventory but these suggestions could open up the customer base to specific inventory needs.

3. 1/5Outrageous Pricing

   First let me say that app functions quite well. The one huge feature missing is when you have several folders nested and then an item in the final folder. When you are actually in the item it does not show you the path of how to find the item. For example: Attic > Back Shelves > Middle Shelf > Box 1 > Video Camera. It does show this path (albeit very small font) in the Search function. But it should be inside the detailed view as well. Otherwise it kind of defeats the whole purpose of the app. But it doesn’t matter if this is the greatest app in the world because the price is so far out of bounds. Developer’s have gone crazy lately with this subscription based pricing. This app is basically used to inventory your household or business items. So it stands to reason that people will be using this app for a long period of time. But if I want to use this app to inventory my house over a 10 year period it will cost me $500. That is crazy!!! $500 for an app on my iPhone? That is almost as much as the phone itself. Absolute insanity and greed. Luckily there are other great options out there with flat fee pricing so I can actually own my data. I don’t like the fact that I am only “renting” my data with this app and they can change the pricing plan on me anytime they choose.

4. 5/5Amazing!! Made organizing super easy and effortless.

   For some context - I spent months trying and testing out almost 10 different apps to help me organize my office and home. After a comprehensive search I decided on Sortly. I have never given a review before but I think this was deserved. Each app had its flaws and advantages but with Sortly there was no compromise. I was amazed by how simple and visual it was. It took me almost no time to get started It’s incredibly intuitive and their folders based system makes it really easy to see/organize your stuff. I was able to catalog my items by location and then tag items based on type. In the last 2 weeks I have logged almost all stuff (over 300 items) and it saves me about 4-5 hours each week not having to manually search for items every time a client calls asking for them. I did have a couple of issues syncing between my sortly desktop and sortly mobile but I think it was temporary (maybe because of my bad rural internet) aside from that it’s been near perfect. My next step is to start using the qr labels feature to so that I can start searching for stuff by scanning to start saving myself more time. I have also sent their team suggestions to make the app work even better ( they are saying some of them are already in the works) If you are looking for an app to get your office organized, I could not be more confident to recommend Sortly.

5. 1/5Everything Was Randomly Deleted

   I have been using this app ever since June when I switched from the “Inventory List ” app since it was deleted from the App Store. It is still on my device but I can no longer add anything to it. I found Sortly (free version) & manually entered every single item from one app to this one. I make jewelry, so I keep track of how many of each stone color/size that I have. I keep track of how much one single stone costs & I have thousands of stones. I just opened my app today, after this recent update last week & come to find that ALL of my items except ONE are completely gone. Now I literally have NO idea how much any stone costs per piece because of this app. I even made a log-in when the update came so that my info would never be lost. I am able to view items in my old app, but again those numbers are completely off since the switch to Sortly months ago in June. It is now impossible for me to calculate cost when I finish an item! Customer support responded once asking if I had tried logging in online (which of course I had already tried) & asked what my email was with the account (which was clearly the one I was sending my complaint from) & nothing else! I may have considered upgrading to the premium version but for my needs, I simply need an app that keeps track of type, quantity & cost per item. I now refuse to take the time to enter hundreds of items back into the app in fear that it will all just be RANDOMLY deleted again. My small business can not afford another glitch like this, especially during the busiest time of year! Do not waste your time with this app.
