  • Why subscribe?

    Why would anyone pay a subscription for an app that is no longer updated or maintained? This app hasn’t had an update in 2 years.

    The app itself is a great idea. It’s too bad that it has been allowed to become “waste”.
  • App used to be great

    This app used to be superb - so much so that I opted for a Lifetime Pro subscription. However it has now become basically unusable. Items won’t delete from inventories, items I deleted months ago have been re-added and can’t be removed, you can’t add new items in multiples any more… Repeatedly uninstalling and reinstalling both the app and purchase plan doesn’t fix the issues, and emails to support have gone unanswered and acknowledged. A shame really.

  • Food Waste Solution

    It simplifies food management effortlessly. Its interface and timely reminders help me stay on top of my inventory, reducing waste effectively. However, the setup takes some time…but it’s worth it. It could be better if the barcode scanning is quicker.
  • Excellent App for Reducing waste

    This app helps fight food waste at home! Simple to use, allows you to create shopping lists and store items digitally. Cool barcode scanner saves time while adding new items. Plan delicious dinners with ingredients you already have in your home. Connect with people doing the same thing worldwide. However, keep an eye out for problematic labels, technical issues, and acceptable recipes. Still, it reduces rubbish and bucks spent...so why leave? Get it now! :)

  • Great initiative to reduce food waste

    NoWaste application is a real game-changer for everyone who wants to combat the food waste issues and make more conscious decisions in the kitchen. It was good to see how well it worked with regard to waste reduction and I realized that I was throwing away less food. There is potential for making improvements by offering more recipe options and more personalization opportunities, yet NoWaste is still a worthy tool in the fight against greenhouse gas emissions arising from food wastage.

  • No Longer Functional - No Support

    I have been using this app for years and have become thoroughly dependent on it. I have lifetime pro membership, which turns out it doesn't mean much, since I expect to have decades left yet I can no longer even use the app. It was wonderful until it stopped letting me add items to my inventory (I'm nowhere near the huge pro limit). Whenever I try to add anything, I just get a loading/processing icon that never goes away. I can still remove and relocate items, but I can't add anything. I've had to keep a separate list on paper of things I've bought since the app broke for me. I've tried logging out, uninstalling, restarting the phone, redownloading, and signing in. Everything is still there but I still can't add anything new.

    As others have reported, contacting the developer is pointless. I have received no response. Disappointing. This was a wonderful app when it worked, but it seems completely unsupported.

  • Great app but scan database fail for Australia

    I’ve been using this app for probably a year and scan/enter after a grocery shop, especially for refrigerated perishables. The scan database for Australia used to work but in recent months it fails to lookup anything new that I haven’t bought previously so I end up having to manually enter the food product. Any fixes forthcoming please?
    Otherwise very useful to remind when expiry dates are coming up to use and not waste.

  • Highly Recommend!!!

    This has almost everything I am looking for in a pantry tracking app. You can add categories (fridge, freezer, pantry, ect), type of packaging, weight, and even where it is! The expiration date is customizable and there are rings next to each item showing how close to expiration it is. Very easy to use and perfectly simple (without all the unnecessary clutter other apps add). This is a genius solution to tracking and reducing waste in my home and across the world.

    The only suggestion to make this app better would be to type in the weight/ quantity rather than selecting the set number. This would help for the 1.5lb packages. Still great without that option!

  • Good but not Great

    It’s great at having basic inventory control of your pantry but duplicate section of the same product can easily occur when the app doesn’t associate what was written in pre-existing food items that’s already in the system when adding more of the same food product. The app should remember what I last wrote as a the title of that certain product so when I buy another one of that item it generates the same title, thus having one name for all quantities of that product item. I’m aware you can search for that item and increase it on the menus but it’s easier and more convenient to scan and add

  • Wasted my time

    Used this app all the time when it was on the old server, did not get any notifications it was moving this lost hours of careful documentation of my pantry. Now, trying to sign back into the app to start again and the password reset does not work. Tried making a new account and it keeps saying my email is wrong when it certainly is not. Thank you for wasting my time.
