No updates in over a year - Bugs still exist – Prep & Pantry - Inventory Manager Review

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.
