This really was looking like exactly what we needed to organize and track our home pantry shelves. You can scan the barcode of items to add them to the list and track the stock, and there are shopping and expiring lists. But it’s just fluff. None of it works the way I expected it to (I hoped it would). There is no way to set a threshold amount to trigger an item to appear on the shopping lists. The only way I see for an item to even potentially show up there is to either click Restock manually on each item or to click Finish on the item - which removes it completely from inventory. And you’d expect that perhaps the Auto Generated shopping list would pick up these Finished items (you can’t use this for Restock because you have to enter the list to restock), but there doesn’t seem to be any discernible pattern I could see to what it puts on that list - usually it’s just empty. I was ready to pay for this app and give it 5 stars; on the surface I thought I had finally found the app we needed for home pantry tracking. As it stands, it just seems like a tool that gets in your way instead of solving the problem.

I was using the free version of this before I registered. I inventoried my garage and pantry. It worked beautifully!! I was able to scan the majority of my barcodes, the expiration dates were usually spot on or close. On the few items that didn’t have a barcode or wasn’t recognized; I was able to create a new item, snap a picture and clip out the background. Everything was smooth and easie peasy… until I reached the 200 items max for the free version.
I tried to register and found out I’ve already registered. Instead of giving me the option to recover my password i basically had to delete my free version then login to my account. Bummer, yeah, but it is what it is. Once I did this I start the trial 1 year subscription. Now adding things doesn’t feel as seamless and when I try to clip out the background it gives an error that only user pictures can be edited. I know, minor issue but to me it’s not; I don’t want my mess put out our there. Hopefully it’s just the 10% rule and I’ll come back tomorrow and love it again.

I got this app because my household went from 3 adults to only me overnight. All of a sudden, I had so much food in my pantry and refrigerator! I had to learn new ways to eat healthy and not waste food, especially fresh fruits and veggies. This app really filled my need. It is labor intensive at first, but once you get the routine down, the rhythm flows.

My biggest complaint is that there is no “undo” button for inventory or shopping lists. I am constantly erasing entries by accident because of my clumsy fingers. The sliding gage that you set the %used is too close to the “finished” button. It takes more time to have to re-set up the product in my inventory again than it would to just reverse the last action (as when editing a photo of a new product). My second complaint is that when you enter a new food item and assign a new location, it automatically assigns the food category, and it’s not always what I would have selected. I have to do a separate search for the item that I just set up to figure out how the app classified it. If it showed me the automatic classification before transferring it into inventory , I could have the chance to edit the category to what I wanted it to read before I added it to inventory.

I really like the app and purchased the upgrade. It has helped me cut down on impulse or duplicate food buying and food waste from spoilage. Both have allowed me to save a significant amount of money on my budget.
