Reviews

Stale
Seeemef

This application is unmaintained and unsatisfactory. It does not support modern screen resolutions. The All Items view is only alphabetical. Can the sorting of any view be changed? The Policy view has so many details missing from the Mac App. Search? The Mac app’s search is weak, but this app wholly lacks it. Remember your place when switching away and back? Nope you’re back at square one.


Great app but....

Great app that works well with the desktop application. The but is... unlike the desktop application, the iOS app don’t allow for scrolling between items. When viewing an item, you must close item or go back then open a different item. Also, unlike the desktop app, the iOS app don’t not support url hyperlinks- even though you’re able to create the Field in the desktop application.


Great app

Does exactly what it’s suppose to. It backs up and makes available to view all of your entered data. It’s a free add-on app that’s a backup for the desktop program.


5 Stars for me

Another great companion app to the main Mac app, “Home Inventory.” Love this mobile backup; it gives me a needed backup, plus allows me to have my inventory detail right on my phone. Great job developer Update 2021.04.17: Still using this app and still really liking it. One thing to consider, would be to allow sorting, ascending/descending on the mobile version. Thanks.


Long, long overdue

I have been using this Home Inventory for many years. I use it to inventory my collections. It is the best! When I have had issues or questions I go to the developers and they offer beyond belief assistance. If you realize it can’t do everything, but it can do everything you need to record your assets you will be quite satisfied.


Easy to use

I use this app and the mobile backup often. As a collector it helps me remember and keep track of the various collections I have. As a homeowner it records a lot of items I would probably miss if a theft or catastrophe occurred. The remote entry makes it easy to start or completely enter an item.


Great App

This app is beyond GREAT, I normally don't spend time writing reviews but I had to with this one. To be able to see all the money you have laying around with crap you never use, inventory it, manuals recipts, bldg owners can keep track of model/serial # parts and picture all on your phone, pad or MAC.... Buy this... Yes iCloud would finish it off but dam,,, that's just cherry on top as the cake is beyond good


Not Worth Purchasing

App fails to utilize iCloud drive so inventory database can be used across all devices (iOS and Macbook).


No Option for iCloud Back-UP

Home inventory STILL has no option for iCloud Back-Up. Forces you to use Drop Box if you want a cloud back-up. SAD, I'd give it 5 stars if it did. I guess the developers are TOO lazy to foloow Apple requirements for iCloud Back-Up?


Great App!

I’ve had both the mobile and Mac versions of this app for several years. When I retired in 2013, I decided my first project would be to document all our stuff, room by room. I was worried that our homeowner’s insurance was under-estimating our valuable possessions. I took pictures of everything (furniture, appliances, electronics, etc) with my iPhone, and uploaded them, along with any receipts, creating a database so detailed that our insurance company was very impressed. Edits are also a breeze. It’s comforting to know that we have this all documented and on file with our agent. I recently had a question about the app, and emailed customer service. I received an answer the same day. It’s hard to find such prompt service anymore. Kudos!
