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.
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!
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.

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!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.

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.

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!I loved the idea for this app immediately. And the few minutes I played with it I thought it was off to a great start.
HOWEVER- I scanned about 20 random barcodes from items ranging from Starbucks coffees to Larabar to milk and more, and not a single one of the items was in their database! I tried adding the first one manually, along with the picture and more, it was tedious and actually it closed the screen before it seems to have been added!
I gave a few stars to the developer for the concept and the beginnings of a great app, but I have little interest in essentially having to build up their database from scratch. Compared to just writing down my shopping list this is SO much more work. I hope the developer finds some place(s) with a robust database to integrate into this app and I’ll gladly add it to my personal “essentials” applications. But for now it’s failing at the one single most important thing it needs in order to have value to end users. I was to point and click and just tell it how many I have remaining of such items and how many I want to maintain.
Kudos for the progress- now get yourself a database with as little need to “manually” enter anything as possible and this can be a winner. Check out the way Amazon and Fitness Pal are so great at determining just about anything from a barcode and that should be the target for this app.

Thank you for the feedback! We will keep these things in mind for future updates!Maybe this is user error, but this app is mostly meaningless if I can’t share it with another user.
I’ve also scanned some common items and they are not pre-populated, I’m not about to manually add my entire pantry to a database, especially when I’m not really sure where it’s being stored.
Those two features would likely be the basis of a subscription model, which I’d gladly pay a couple of bucks a month to digitally keep our pantry up to date.

Thank you for downloading Swipe Pantry! A future version 2.0 aims to include some of the features you’ve mentioned so stay tuned!Great app! Super easy to use and very helpful!
I am very disappointed in this app. The only way to add products is by barcode scan, so I am unable to add produce, meats or any non-prepackaged items that do not have a barcode.
Developer Response
Thank you for trying out Swipe Pantry! I'm sorry you were disappointed in your experience. With version 1.5.0, we're introducing ability to manually add items without scanning a barcode. Please continue to reach out to us with future feature requests, issues, or feedback!
