Kept freezing

Was unable to save items. Kept freezing and not being able to continue to add or cancel.

Hello, Sorry to hear about your experience. Please write to us about the freezing you report via in-app mechanisms or via the contact form on our site, so Nest Egg Support can look into what you report. A number of freezing issues in the past have been linked to iOS updates, but we wouldn't know until we take a closer look at what you are reporting and the circumstances around the symptoms you observe.

Hey, we are in a roll!

Downloaded the app and scanned my first item. At the current rate I should be finished scanning everything on my desk by the end of 2025. This app is sluggish and often enters the incorrect item.

Response from developer

Hello, Sorry to hear about your experience. Please make sure your Wi-Fi or cellular connection is stable and has enough network bandwidth as scan times are highly dependent on network health. Please write to us about the items that had incorrect identification via in-app mechanisms or via the contact form on our site, so Nest Egg Support can look into what you report.

Horrible. Does not work.

Did not capture bar codes. Glad I did not pay for it

Response from developer

Hello CDHORNET, Thank you for the feedback, and sorry to hear about your experience. Generally speaking, if you are adding items via barcodes and expecting automatic lookup to work, the barcodes have to be UPC/EAN. For other data such as serial numbers or URL Quick Response (QR) codes, there are quite a few possibilities in terms of barcode morphology. You can reach us via in-app mechanisms (preferred) or via our site at https://nestegg.cloud/contact with a few pictures showing what you scanned so we can troubleshoot this further. We look forward to hearing from you.

Does what it's supposed to

No ads, no nags.
Most things it reads the barcode saving you a lot of work.
Recommended.

Thank you BubbaJonBoy for sharing your experience with Nest Egg!

App broken

Clicking a scanned item causes a loop that makes the app screen flash and become unresponsive.

Response from developer

Sorry to hear about your experience. What version of iOS are you running? What kind of iPhone or iPad is this? Please get in touch with support at https://nestegg.cloud/contact with the details of what you see so we can troubleshoot this with you.

Actually grabs correct info from barcode!

I downloaded several similar APPs to see which one I prefer. Out of all the ones I was able to try without registering, this was the only one that scanned the barcode, filled in the correct info (full name and price) and attached an actual image of the product! I tested it using a box of Pop-tarts. Some other APPs didn't fill in any info while one filled in ”toaster pastries.” The whole point of scanning barcodes is because I'm lazy, and I don't want to input an entire bag of groceries! (Seriously, who has time for that?) This APP actually gets the job done.

The UI is also very nice with proper iPad UI. Maybe I'm just easy, but I was sold and paid for the upgraded version.

Thank you Amelia for the review! Nest Egg is designed precisely for busy people such as yourself and tries hard to eliminate manual entry. We want you to record your inventory as fast as you can so you can get back to living life and using time on more productive endeavors.

Can’t even test it.

I tried to add my first item and it said I’ve reached the limits and must upgrade. No thanks.

Response from developer

Hello BlackSapphire72, The item limit reached message suggests that one or more of the previous download(s) of Nest Egg Lite used up the free limits. Did you or another user of the device ever download Lite in the past? Please write to support at https://nestegg.cloud/contact so we can get this resolved for you.

Free trial is an untruth

This looked like it was going to be a great app to use. Supposedly the free version allows a user to input a few items as a trial...which would have been wonderful to have been able to give the app a test drive. However, when I attempted to add my first item ...a message came up saying I had reached my limit and needed to purchase the full version in order to continue. Bait me then change the rules...not cool.

Promises but for UK food does not deliver

Hoped this would track my pantry items but it doesn’t seem to work with UK foods. Tried half a dozen cupboard staples and it didn’t recognise any. Shame

Response from developer

Sorry to hear about your experience. Lookup misses can occur because of online availability, specialty status, date of introduction and a host of other factors. Some items may have restricted distribution and are not widely available as a result. In any case, Nest Egg tries hard to get you the details within a reasonable period of time and reverts to manual entry thereafter. Would you be able to send to support a few of the EANs you scanned, so we can check on our end to make sure? Thanks in advance.

Espectacular
