Misleading

Actually does require in app purchase to track many items, use the pantry section, save to Dropbox etc. would have liked that information in the AppStore, I’m looking for an app to save food because I’m poor, I can’t afford to PAY to track that stuff. At least the app design is nice and minimalistic?

App is perfect, but….

This is exactly what I was looking for, but the Dropbox sharing with the family isn’t working. We have a Dropbox family plan. I can only seem to give read only permission to family members cause I can’t set the location of the file in the “family room” Dropbox has setup for us to share. 😭. Please, Please, fix this.

Response from developer

Thanks for the review! Unfortunately, Dropbox does not give apps access to the family room folder for storing app data. I recommend contacting Dropbox with that suggestion. In the mean time, the app will work great if you sign all devices into the same Dropbox account, or if you setup sharing of the Fridge Hero app folder from within Dropbox.

Fridge Hero Love

I’ve been using fridge hero for quite a while. When restaurant eating became something to avoid, I had to begin cooking. Planning meals and menus is so much easier with fridge hero. I can see what ingredients I have on hand, and what I need to add to my shopping list. My husband uses Fridge Hero to see what meals are already prepared and in the freezer. The planning I’m able to do with Fridge Hero takes thebpain out of “what’s for dinner”.

Recently I had a problem with the app syncing to drop box and contacted the developer. I was pleasantly amazed by his quick reply and resolution. Fridge Hero is again the inventory hero and keeper of the food.

Thanks so much for the review! I'm happy to hear you are finding Fridge Hero helpful 🙂

Everything was deleted

Deleted everything when I transferred to my new iPhone, but Fridgely and BestBefore did not

Fridge Hero

I agree with the above review. There is no sorting option so you have to look through the whole list to see what you have. Also, I purchased the premium option and there is a slider in settings that says premium features but I can’t open it. Pantry should be in the home page as well. Otherwise, I have used this a lot to help me keep track of food.

Update:I just saw the sort alphabetically option which is great so added a star. An option to sort by category (ie Chicken, Fish, etc )would be another welcome addition.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! We have recently added an alphabetical sorting option in the app settings.

Disappointed

If I could give 0 stars I would but needed at least 1 star to post review. You can only list 10 items. After 10 items you have to purchase the premium version to continue adding. What a disappointment.

Inventory lost when upgrading phone

When moving to a new iphone, a backup/restore did not transfer my inventory. Terrible. Won’t use the app again.

Love it so far

Anyway we could have a cost to each item for when we go grocery shopping and or a scanner bar :). So we could get a quick budget view too 😍

Couple suggestions

Pantry should be in the same screen as the fridge freezer and shopping screen.
I don’t see how to sort. Please improve with alphabetical sorting options.
Please add spell check option.
I also suggest adding a search function.

Has potential

Would be nice to add or subtract items as they are eaten or replenished with a plus/minus counter ie. added 3 cans of tomato sauce but used 1
