I tried the lite version and liked it enough to buy the full version. It works great. I have found very few items that weren't in the database. With the latest update the "back" button disappeared. I reported it and within an hour got an email it was being fixed. Support seems to be great.

Nothing I scanned was in the library.

This had such potential, and was exactly what I was looking for. I had already purchased a "What's in My Freezer" and "What's in My Pantry" app, but was wishing those had a barcode scanner. I downloaded the lite version to try this out, and tried scanning the first three food items I picked up...none of them were in the library. Now, it did give me the option to add items to the library, but then what is the point of paying $6 extra for a barcode scanner, if you still have to enter all the information. Sad, because as I mentioned, this had such great potential...

No Direct Printing

I've tried scanning a few items and was surprised that Maxwell House coffee would not scan while some generic brands did scan. I'm not comfortable dragging my I-pad to the store and prefer a printed list. It appears the only way to get a printed list is to e-mail the list to myself. This is better than other similar apps, but not what I want from an food inventory app.

Fantastic App & Customer Support

I have had this app for more than a year. I love it! I have a large family and this app makes it very easy to keep track of our food supplies & the pantry as well as many other things. This app keeps track of expiration dates, quantity, item location, stores I purchase at and many other things. I never have to waste food that's expired the app gives me warning of whats about to expire so I can include those items in our weekly meal plans. I just recently learned that I can include other items beside food. Now im using this app to keep track of our medications & thinking of other things! SUPER Handy!! You can sync your items to all your devices so the list is always with you. Adding and editing is also a breeze!!!! **Super Customer service!!** This past week I bought a new IPad mini. I was attempting transfer all our items to the new tablet when I ran into trouble. I emailed support and they were not only quick at replying to my emails (with-in 12 hours) they personally called & Texted me to help walk me through the steps needed to correct my issues. THAT is customer service. I HIGHLY recommend this app. You will not be disappointed.

Not at all user friendly

I've only been using the app a couple hours and have spent most of that time on their support site, trying to figure out how to use it, what is meant by certain abbreviations or how something can be modified. You can't even delete items without jumping through a bunch of hoops that I've yet to figure out. A pantry app -- ANY app, for that matter -- is supposed to make your life easier, not require you to take a class in order to use it. I will definitely be trying a different app that's more intuitive.

You can only store up to 10 items then you have to buy the app.

Don't waste your time!

Avoid this app. It is a waste of time like you wouldn't believe. Even if you manage to get a good flow going scanning barcode after barcode, you'll hit a brick wall soon as you realize you can only put 10 items in your inventory. Is this even possibly useful?! What were they thinking? Probably that I'd get frustrated enough after wasting all that time just setting up those 10 items that I'd buy the $8 pro version. Well they thought wrong. So here's your first review: my advice is to avoid this app and all others made by this company. What a waste of time!

Buggy

Rakiec

Just downloaded because I want to buy the full version but it's quite buggy. 1) I can't delete an item from my list 2) updating inventory number does not always add item to my list of its below the minimum threshold like it supposed to. 3) removed all items from my cart and the cart badge still says 1 item in cart. Still finding bugs one by one. Had high hopes for this.

Great inventory tool!!

Bad Update :(

I absolutely love this app! I purchased the lite version first and then upgraded to the full app because it has everything I need to keep track of what's in (or not in) my pantry. I love all of the ways you can sort and organize your items, especially with the most recent update. Something I would like to see added to this app is a "date added" for each item. This would be helpful if you have no expiration date on an item but would like to know how long you have had it in your pantry. If you could add something like that I would be even more in love with this app!! :)

Good app and customer support

This review is for the full version. I have been using this app for a while now and have a database of almost a thousand food items. I really like the database function because once an item has been scanned and saved, that item will be added to your database with the details that you provide it. This is a great time saver b/c if you happen to scan that same barcode # again, the app will retrieve the food item from your personal database along with all of your saved details (e.g. food description information, picture, calorie info, servings per container, location, etc). The sync function is also very useful. With sync, you can update the inventory list on all your devices as long as your device is connected to the internet. As another reviewer mentioned, you are able to log the same item at different locations and the app keeps track of the number at each location, which is also a nice function. The customer support is great. I always receive a quick and thorough response every time I contact them. If you’re experiencing problems with the app, I would highly encourage you to contact support
