Great companion for the best home inventory app – Home Inventory Remote Entry Review

I have been using "Home Inventory" for OS X since it was first released. I cannot recommend it enough. From entering your home information (build, sq footage, year built, etc) to adding items by location, type, and custom labels, and adding items with photos, receipts, dates, value, etc, it has helped to greatly determine whether my home owners insurance is adequate as it allows a multitude of report summaries that is sent directly to my agent. This remote app is fantastic. The reviews that critique it seem to either not be using it correctly or have not configured it properly. Barcode scanning is fantastic. The times it does not work are due to barcodes that are "in-house" (meaning they aren't databased outside of the company, "Restoration Hardware is a perfect example). In those case you simply manually enter the item name, model, serial number (if applicable), etc and take pics right in the app. It send the data instantly to the OS X home inventory database (make certain your computer and iOS device are on the same network and that the "Home Inventory" app "Remote Entry" is selected, this should simply show your database on your iOS device to select and begin remote scanning and entering). Once done, simply close the iOS app and fine tune your entries.
