Was good, now a BAD app – Prep & Pantry - Inventory Manager Review

This used to be a great app, but hasn’t been for over a year now. The original developer (Doug) was fantastic, but the time investment was too much and he sold it to Patrick Media. After that, there have been no updates or fixes (Doug did do a couple fixes post-sale, as well as rectify the database debacle that occurred soon after the sale as well). The bugs (as stated in other reviews) are numerous, and crashes frequent. One annoying one is that on the iPhone version, a non-inventory item can’t be added to the cart. After typing the first letter, the keyboard disappears. Fortunately, my wife has the Android version which doesn’t have that particular flaw. I continue to use it because my inventory is huge and I’ve learned how to work around the bugs, but all it would take is another DB crash (somewhere in the cloud) and all would be lost. Not confident that Patrick Media, based on past performance (no answer to support requests, no updates whatsoever, etc.), would be able/want to recover. Don’t waste your money.
