More functionality

I just downloaded this app because I prefer more “bare bones” organization apps and I liked how simple this was to navigate, but I have two suggestions for added functionality to make this more effective. First, allow us to manually add items *without* requiring the UPC. For example, I buy large packs of chicken and separate them into smaller portions to freeze, I want to be able to just add “chicken” to my Pantry and log however many portions I have, which doesn’t require the UPC of the original pack. Secondly, I would like to be able to tag entries for better organization within Categories. For example, I could have frozen spinach in my Frozen Foods Category and canned corn in my Shelf-Stable Category and lettuce in my Fridge Category; I would like to be able to tag all those items “vegetables” and be able to search for all the “vegetables” in my Pantry at any given time.

Edit: a third addition that would be helpful is being able to sort and view my pantry by category, i.e. only show me what’s in my freezer, etc

It has potential

I think adding the ability to set an expiration date on your products is crucial for a food tracker app, also, being able to collaborate with someone else in your household, If those features were added then this app would be perfect.

Needs Field for Expiration Dates

I would love to be able to add the expiration date to each pantry item and then get a reminder to use it before that date.

Great first impression

Just downloaded this, and am really enjoying adding food and categories. I would absolutely be over the moon if I could share my list with my husband who does most of the cooking/grocery shopping in the household. That would be the icing on the cake for me — hopefully that function will be released soon!

Nice interface, needs a bit more functionality.

Really like the interface of this. Scan to add. Or to then swipe in/out of stock.

What I’d really like is another field to add expiration date. And with that, an interface to see what items are going out of date and where they are.

What do I have.
Where is it.
When does it expire.
This would be super excellent then.

So close to being useful

I think we would have really liked this app. However, I can’t see any way of sharing my pantry with my wife. So it will be impossible to know if one of us changes the quantities of an item. Will try again if this function is added.

Not what it’s cracked up to be…

Every item I’ve scanned so far results in a screen that tells me that the item is not in the database.
I’ve attempted to make contact with the developer without any success.

Response from developer

Thank you for downloading the app and thank you for the feedback! Right now with version 1.5.0, there aren’t any pre-populated pantry items in the database. This is a feature that will become available with the release of version 2.0 that is currently in development!

Thank you.

I am delighted to hear of your hard work to make this app even better. Thank you for your response to my questions!

I look forward to using the very helpful app improvements that are coming.

Response from developer

Thank you for downloading the app and leaving feedback! In the current version of the app, all product information is stored locally on your device. Meaning the app isn’t currently matching your products with any outside sources. We’ve realized this is definitely a tedious task when using the app frequently and are improving these user experiences to be released in a big v2 update! We’re currently hard at work putting the update together, so keep an eye out as I think it will be exactly what you’re looking for! Thank you for also pointing out that Twitter might not be the best way to reach out and provide feedback, we will update this with the update as well!

A bit more order?

I like this app very much (organization is my life), but I would like to arrange the products by category, not just the product name. If that update comes along my four star app will go to five. Thanks.

Feature request

I’m loving this app. Any chance cloud storage or a way for users to share the data can be an option in a future update? That would give the ability for me and my spouse to use our own phones to keep the pantry updated instead of only using 1 phone for both of us.

Keep up the great work.

Response from developer

Thank you for downloading the app and thank you for the feedback! We’re currently working hard on a big v2 update that will add the convenience and connectivity that I think you’re looking for!
