What Happened??

This used to be a great app and I recommended it to everyone. For the last few months the data base didn’t work. iOS 12 logged me out and now- everything is gone! No response from support, either. I’m too busy to try to make this one work, thanks to another reviewer I’m off to find a new app. Boo!!
Would you update this app soon?

I love this app but it needs an update. Your support link doesn’t work. I really would like to know if you will update it. Please respond Thank you Regards, S
Doesn’t work anymore

This used to be a good app, but it’s no longer supported and no longer works. They might as well just take it out of the App Store. The developers don’t respond anymore. They’ve apparently moved on...
Too Bad
Supermans Diapers
This used to be the most useful app I have ever had.Not any longer, its fallen by the wayside. I share many of the users complaints as well.Trouble reaching server etc. The developers should either update and address the complaints of the users, or pull the app. My husband and I are on a limited budget and having an accurate inventory helpful for our purposes. I suppose I will try to find an equivalent app in the store. Too Bad
No updates in over a year - Bugs still exist

UPDATE June 2018 It’s two years now and still waiting on bug fixes. But wait! There’s a new development!! Two important functions have stopped working. Waiting 3 weeks now for Tech Support answer: * Cannot retrieve product descriptions from foods database. * Cannot sync. When trying to sync, program asks me to Join or Start a sync group. Can’t join one cuz password to my data is lost and there is no way in the app to retrieve it or change it. Fortunately I was able to export a CSV file with my stuff, but that means re-entering all my inventory to a new app BY HAND. The symptoms suggest that certainly the app, and possibly its creator have been found dead beside the road (euphemistically, of course). For now, P&P is dead to me. I guess for a couple of bucks, what can you expect? I paid the fee for the Home Food Storage app by Long Term Glass Wares LLC so I could evaluate it. It compares favorably to P&P (when it works) but I’m not sold on it yet. I’d like to see more product reviews from those who have used P&P, sharing their experience, but also may have first-hand knowledge of other solutions. One good point in Long Term Glass Ware’s favor is that they have good app doc on their website. It’s a little thin, but accurate. Perhaps they will continue to improve it. Original post follows (Fall, 2017) .............. There are still a number of bugs in this version. 1. Changing item and group names is convoluted at best 2. No documentation of how to use the shopping cart. Can't remove things from the cart, so it gets bigger and bigger. 3. Move function has been in Beta for at least a year. 4. Adding items from Item Detail using the folder icon does not always work. 5. Zero and Expired Items report is useless. It should be a CSV so it can be manipulated. 6. Save Only option does not provide a way to access a report since iTunes app does not exist on iPhone or iPad (like it does on PC or Mac). 7. There are more, except they don't easily come to my mind. This product is now NOT worth the $7.99 price.

Was a good app but it will no longer sync and support does not reply.
Pain in the rear

Wish there was an option to just scan the barcode and enter the burn without having to enter a bunch of crap. Seriously, you DON'T need an expiration date for everything especially canned goods.

I purchased this app about a month and a half ago. I've tried using it frequently and am giving up for good today. It is a great concept, but the database is virtually unpopulated and it appears the the developer wants us to do it for them. I truly spent time trying to use it and maybe the issues I'm having are solveable, but the help and how to section is limited. I did email the developer with a question and I have to give props as the reply was prompt!! Gotta love that. However, I cannot fathom emailing the developer with every question I have, which is many. Here is a gist on what you will encounter. I'm not going to write out what the app does, that is in the details section here in iTunes store. Assuming you have read that before you get here, I pick up with what I have experienced. I have used the scanner at home to scan in my favorite and usual items. Many of them are missing from the database. I started putting them in on the fly, but had to go back to my day job. There was just too many items missing and typing in all the details on the small keyboard afforded by my iPhone...well, that just isn't happening. Fast forward to the grocery store. With my list of about 22 items in hand, I looked forward to my shopping trip with my new app : ) I had forgotten about the dragging experience in the kitchen when fiturally nothing worked when I scanned it. Duh! So, I'm finding my items on the shelf and ready to scan them dutifullly and they aren't in there so I'm manually entering each of them and starting to get really frustrated. It's been over 40 minutes I've wasted with a really short list! I just can't do all this typing, but I really wanted the app to work for me, but it needs to auto-populate somehow. I wouldn't mind contributing to the database, but not from my iPhone. I would probably be happy to type in all the details (I tend to be a person who uses an app to it's fullest potential) if I had a way to do so from my computer. I do want to emphasize that developer seemed really enthusastic about their prodcut and that says a lot these days. I'd rather have a developer who is commited and has an app that still has a ways to go instead of a developer who just isn't invested even though their app is further along. I feel that in the long run the first scenario garners better results for the user experience.
Awesome prepping app

Great app to help keep track of your prepping supplies, from food to first aid kits. Definitely recommend!
Best Inventory App EV-VER!!! Period.

This app is awesome!!! If you actually use it, it will save you time and money. I never have to worry about going to the grocery store and forgetting to pick something up (which saves time by sparing me from having to go back for a second trip later on). I never have to worry about purchasing items I already have in stock, but forgot or didn't realize I even had (saving me money by sparing me from purchasing the same thing twice). It also saves me money by letting me know with the click of a single button, when foods I have are about to expire - so I can make a concerted effort to ensure they're consumed prior to their expiration date, after which I would have had to throw them out. The only downside to this app at all is that in order for you to benefit in the same ways I do, to the extent that I do, you have to stay committed to tracking your inventory - if you buy something and don't scan it, then forget you bought it, you're liable to accidentally purchasing it again - so you need to stay committed to using this. But if you do, it is impossible not to save time and money.
