Does exactly what I need it to
I needed an app that would not only track our inventory amounts but also their exact locations. I make several road trips a year making sales calls where I actually bring my inventory with me in crates with many drawers. With Stock Control, I can tap on an item and instantly see how many of that item I have and what drawer they are in.
I was surprised that I needed to pay once I wanted more than 10 items but truthfully the app is so perfect for what I need that I feel the (under $10) price was more than fair. I think that it should be made more clear that you can use the app for a limited number of items to "test" it out and then buy it for a very reasonable price if you like it. That is exactly what i did but i bet they lose customers based on the shock factor. Just my opinion.
Also, I found it fairly intuitive but in the few times I needed to ask a question by email they were very quick to respond and the FAQ section is really informative as well.
I am very happy that I paid the small fee for this app. It is making my life much easier in regards to inventory control while on the road.

Needs "scanner" for custom attribs
Overall it's decent and automated several daily tasks I perform... except when I need to scan multiple barcodes for a particular item.
I love I can set up custom attribs based on group but my attribs are needed to record 3 different barcodes (serial, internal, and external provided by a 3rd party disposal.) it would be nice to see the scan icon available at Ye end of the field

After trying out similar aps both free and some for purchase I chose Stock Control. Compared to the others it could scan all of our barcode types and I could literally figure it out in about 10 minutes. In an hour I created an inventory of about 50 products and was able to email a PDF or CSV to my coworkers immediately. I also like that I can adjust the amount of a particular item as it arrives or ships out. I can't wait to learn more about this app!

Mostly a great tool....
I really like that I can drop inventory into different categories, but I wish there was a main category I could run from to see all inventory, without having to send an excel file to my computer.
I would also like it if there was an ounce/litre measurement, as my inventory involves a lot of liquids in different sizes, as well as items measured by weight.
Otherwise, an easy-to-use, functional app!

Inventory Control
Would like to see more documentation as I don't think I'm using the program to its fullest potential. However, it covers the basics and serves my purposes. I have a large freezer and need to know what is in it, when it went in and be warned of expiration dates. I haven't tried any of the reporting features.

Great product. Excellent support
This does everything as advertised plus much more. Great features from the get go plus developer is open minded and works hard to improve the product. I will definitely continue to use this and I can see it as a valuable tool for many others looking for efficient clean inventory control in a small business application.

Add Dropbox
This app is excellent for an individual wanting to manage their inventory at home or work. The problem is making that information available to others. My coworkers and I are trying to find a way to have specific locations for our parts and supplies in our shop. This app can do that, but trying to share that info between each other is tedious. When one person removes the item, everyone would have to remove it from their inventory individually or try to use a csv file which requires syncing with iTunes (not available at work).
If something like Dropbox was available, inventory changes could be shared between coworkers with little hassle.

Stock control is hard to use, I can't locate how to input data information in a text form. I add and item for inventory to put on my web site, and will mis list the item in the wrong category. After reading the text on how to use stock control , I can't access the info to help me through a problem I have on setting up my categories and listing the data . Text support is weak. I will keep trying , it may be me , not a computer expert,

No scanner for all
I almost bought this app, it seemed to have everything I needed. But then read it didn't have a barcode reader function for ipad2 or iPod touch because they don't have autofocus on their cameras resulting in poor image quality. Rubbish. Poor excuse, Inventory Tracker and iCollect Movies apps have a barcode reader and it works just fine. Sorry, but you lost my custom!

Has potential
Bought the full version because it's provided me with pretty good stock control so far. There are a few improvements I'd like to suggest which I think would bump it up a star or two.
1. Search function improvements - be able to search by barcode, having a barcode storage is useless if you can't search by it. Secondly, have something like "Not found, add new item" because too often I hit the search bar when trying to add a new item, it should be seamless to transition to add a new item when it's not found.
2. Printing option - this may be here already, but I may have not been able to find it; print entire inventory list with the suppliers and prices listed. So far I can only find option to print each item one by one, which is a bit time consuming.
3. Photo function - when adding a picture of an item, I can choose from existing camera roll with no problem, but when trying to take picture from directly within the app, the picture will not take, pressing the "shoot" button did nothing.
Thank you, I look forward to updates and improvements.
