The best of this type of app, worth the price

I am enjoying using the paid version of this app, it’s useful and suitable for my needs. I like the pay once for full app, I am not interested in an annual or monthly subscription fee. I love all of the features it currently includes.

I do however have a Wishlist for app upgrade or additional features, willing to purchase (one time fee) at a pay-for-upgrade option (then people who wouldn’t want these features don’t need to buy the upgrade):
1. I would like, similar to Wishlist to Shopping Bag, a list where I could move products to automatically when finished/empty, rather than deleting the item. I am currently tracking my use of products (mostly for allergy/sensitive skin reaction purposes). I don’t want to delete, because I may need to later reference. It’s also useful to gauge how well liked or useful a product has been.
2. I would like a way to mark or list products for Project Pan goals, I know there’s the Notes feature within a product, but I mean a whole separate list area for Project Pan participation or the Project Pan timeline goal/specific intention. Project Pan is a fun online beauty community event. It would be great if this app included features that would help track Project Pan details.

Great

This app has exactly what I need: a way to organize makeup and skincare with expiration dates and the ability to have pictures.
I only wish there were more brands because half my skincare brands are missing.

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for the wonderful feedback, we are glad that you liked the app! If a brand is missing from the list, you can add it manually - when you add a product and select a brand, just click the button in the upper right corner 😉

Barcode?

I purchased the 5.99 upgrade and nothing changed. Still no barcode scanner. Can’t add things to wish or shopping list.
ETA
The search function doesn’t work if you click it then the app crashes. When I click on a category I made it crashes. I paid for the extra but it literally didn’t change the app. I literally can’t search it doesn’t work. Crashes upon clicking the magnifying glass. I took a little video of what’s happening.

Please, write us olyalazareva.dev@gmail.com I am sad that you have given such a low rating to our work. You can add cosmetics to your wishlist using a swipe or a plus button, to shopping list - only using a swipe on wishlist item. All functionality is available for free by default. Barcodes were temporarily removed from the app because our partner let us down, and we don't have a budget for finding a new one yet. However, barcodes were available without purchasing an app. The purchase description says that you remove the restriction on added cosmetics and support us.

Good app

Occasional crashes and the “opened” button doesn’t always respond when adding a new product (I just scroll to the bottom of the add page and it works but it’s kinda annoying) but otherwise a well designed app that’s easy to use. The full version is just under $9 which is a bit pricy but I believe with some further improvement it would be fair :) Keep it up!

App with promise

I enjoyed organizing my makeup and beauty items on the app, but I echo the sentiments of other reviewers hav voiced: (1) the barcode scanner does not work; and (2) while you can add custom brands, there is no way to delete them, for example, if you made a typo or added a duplicate by using slightly different spelling (e.g. Lancôme v. Lancome). A feature I think could make this app even better could be to include an “archive” category for items that have been used up, may not be a favorite, but could be useful to remember, like foundation shades.

Thank you very much for your feedback, in the next update (coming soon) we will correct/add some features;)

Unhelpful

The app was unable to scan a single item of make up that I had, entering all of the information for each item would take way too much time.

Barcode Scanner doesn’t work

Even after I paid for the “full version” the barcode scanner doesn’t work. Not worth it! If I wanted to hand key lot numbers and brand information I would have gone with a free app.

Response from developer

Thanks for review! Give us another chance. We've fixed the issue. ❤️

What??

Perhaps I misunderstood but I was under the impression I would be able to scan a barcode and the app would input the product information. NOT THE CASE. I scanned over 60 eyeshadow palettes and contd. to see “product not found”. I have an Excel spreadsheet for my MAC eyeshadows that’s more convenient for keeping inventory. What’s the purpose of this app? To create a database for the developer? No thanks.

Barcode scanner doesn’t work

I just spent the last 30 minutes trying to scan barcodes on different products and nothing worked

Response from developer

Please send photos of these barcodes or their numbers. We are very sorry that this happened :( Email: olyalazareva.dev@gmail.com

Exactly what I was looking for

This app is awesome I love that you can add your own photos because it means I can add my items from indie brands or discontinued items from my collection. There are a few improvements I would love to see though. I would like a notes section under each item. The ability to add multiple pictures so I can have one of the product in pan, one swatch, and one of it applied would be a huge improvement. It could also use a line for pallet name as I am tracking all of my shades individually, it would also be nice to be able to move the lists around manually so I could set up all of my eyeshadows by colour. And there is no subcategory for setting sprays under makeup. Overall this app is awesome and has tons of potential. Oh it would also be nice if the button for the full version disappeared after you purchase it.
